FEWER FERTILIZER TAGS.
Commissioner of Agriculture Says 1909 Cotton Crop Will Be Short.

AsricuiuSraI Departmeat. believes that the cotton crop of 1902 will fall mate rially short of. the crop of 19O0. He points to the fact that the sales of fertilizer tags thus far in the year are consider able under the sales of last year and gives it as his opinion that this is an in dication of short cotton crop.
 Up to this time we have sold about u5,000 tags against about 1b00 this time last year." said Commissioner Poole yes terday. This is good Indication that the farmers are not going to plant as much cotton another year as they di1 this year. It is a good index to the crop of 1902 I attribute it to the low price of cotton and the fact that the farmers have not got the money with which to purchase fertilizer"

 The retirement of Pt stmaster General Smith has led to a renewal of the talk regarding the Secretary of the Treasury. Ir fact, the slate makers say that Sec retary Gage, Secretary Hitchcock, and Secretary Long will all retire from the Cabinet at time comparatively near in the future.
