DowNED THE SPECTATORS.

1t was formerly a crime in England to
speculate in food products. Those who
combined to corner wheat or any other
staple article of food were punished speed
lily and severely.
In this land where so many men make
it their business to prey upon the neces-
stiles of others and often succeed in rails
ing artihcially the price of bread and
meat it would be a blessed thing if We
could have and enforce such a law.
The farmer very rarelylgets much bene-
fit from these conspiracies to corner food
products. Usually they have passed out
of his hands before the spectators begin
to put up their prices and levy their taxes
on every household.
One consolation is that these schemers
so often overstep themselves and lose
what they had before they begun to try to
coin their heartless greed.
President Diaz, of Mexico, has recently
given a deserved dose to gang Of Next
can corn spectators.
Corn and beans are the chief food of the
masses and, when the price of either is
forced up suffering among the people en-
sues.
corner in corn was recently planned
and carried to great extent. 1t would
have gone further had not the bold and
powerful man at the head Of the Mexican
government smashed 1t and left the spec
ulators several million dollars to the bad.
When they had caused a terrible rise
in the price of bread President Diaz de-
termined to take a hand in the peoples
fight. He induced the railroads to make a
sudden and sweeping reduction of the
freight on corn. ,F
He did not stop there, but through the
government officials and agents purchased
vast quantities of-corn in every part Of
Mexico and tumblea It on the market at
hardly one-third the price the corn con-
spirators had been charging.
The result was, almost instantaneous.
Corn fell to the price it had been selling
before it was cornered. The spectators
found themselves with many bushels on
hand for which they had paid much more
than the then ruling market price. and
had to give up their wicked scheme, not
however, before many of them were H.
nancially ruined and all of them had lost
heavily.
Now President Diaz is a greater popu-
lar hero than ever before and we shall
probably not see another corn corner at
tempted in Mexico.

eERMANY,s BAD PLIGHT.

A Berlin letter to the New York Jour
nal OF Commerce states that Germany is
going through 1.-THE saddest economic ex-
perience since the empire was founded"
This indicates a deplorable state Of af-
fairs when we remember the terrible fl
nancial and economic conditions that Ger
many suffered in 1873
The enormous war indemnity paid by
France inflated German values and pro-,
voked an epidemic of speculation which
resulted disastrously.
It appears that Germany is now suffer-
ing not from any spasmodic panic, but
from a steady shrinking of values which
began in April, 1900, and has brought an
increasing accumulation Of business trou-
bles.
1t was believed and confidently as
serted by the financial authorities that
the worst was over soon after the first
slump, but there has been no recovery.
On the contrary, stocks have continued
to fall and the list of business failures has
grown to alarming proportions.
The correspondent of the Journal Of
Commerce says that the trusts are at the
bottom of all this trouble, and they are
more numerous and more powerful in
Germany than in any other country ex-
cept the United States. .A. .
When the general formation of trusts
began in Germany the banks encouraged
them and lent their money and confidence
with a recklessness that was often moths
ing short of criminal. The consequence
was over-capitalization and the formation
of many trusts that cool consideration
would have shown to be foredoomed to
failure.
The credits which were extended so
freely up to year ago have been with
drawn and it now is hard to find takers
for the best commercial paper. The rate
OF discount has gone ruinously high and
no relief of the situation is in sight.
But the worst feature of the case is not
the industrial depression. as the following
statement of the correspondent referred
to will indicate:
Along with the numerous failures OF
banks and other companies has come the
revelation of a state of moral rottenness
among Germany's business men that no
body had suspected a year ago. The we'll
grounded pride with which German bust
ness men have hitherto contemplated
their excellent reputation abroad for COM
mercial honor has suffered a most Sc
we're blow, and German papers are them
selves saying that it will take years to
wipe away the stain which has been put
upon Germany's business reputation by
its enormous crop of swindlers and en-
bezzlers. The Frankfurter Zeitung ad-
mits in a recent market review that in no
similar period of business depression in
Germany have so many cases of disgrace
fui frauds and common swindling been
exposed. The case could be stated still
more strongly in the following form: No
great country has for a century had so
many directors of banks and joint stock
COMPANIES in prison at any one time
awaiting trial for dishonest financial
transactions as Germany has today; and
il is also perhaps true that no country
has ever had so many suicides owing to
business troubles and detected crimes in
so short a time as Germany has had dur
ing the past few months"

early growth.
IT is well known that the top of each
cane stalk previous to its receiving the
darker or sugar color contains no saccha-
rine matter of any value, hence when the
cane is stripped leave the top part undis-
turbed down to where the color of the
cane shows it is heavily charged with
saccharine matter.
Now as your land is all prepared cut
off this top section, even two or three
inches it may be, into the ripper part.
Then carefully wrap this top part with its
leaves. which will keep the earth from
pressing too closely about the seed ana
also help make humus and be OF assist
ance as a fertilizer for aiding the new
plants.
Having your new ground furrowed out
YOU lay this seed in and cover as you do
the regular cane seed. This seed will,
by this process, further mature and start
eyes from each section. This WILL you
see, save the trouble and expense OF strip
ping and grinding a worthless piece OF
cane also saving the trouble Of evaporat-
ing a large quantity Of merely water that
has little or no sweet In IL. Thus you
save a large quantity of hitherto worth
less cane and make of it valuable seed.
Care should be observed to put this seed
under ground before hurt by frost How
ever. with these suggestions indicated the
farmer can readily arrange to suit his
condition.
By following out carefully the above
suggestions it will be found that the
planter can keep his cake and eat IT,
too" 1. E., grind his seed, yet keep MS
seed, the opposite of this condition having
been the trouble heretofore because the
planter wished to realize as large guam
tity of syrup as possible.
Second There seems to have been con-
siderable trouble in the past in saving
the old roots for the seed. This can. In
a great degree, be obviated by cultivating
the ground between the rows after the
cane is cut OF preparatory for the new
crop. the tops having been planted as
above and the cane taken to the crusher,

The following address by Colonel 1. Z.
Wade, agent Of land and improvement de-
partment of the Southern railway, de-
livered at the Sugar Cane and Cassava
convention at Brunswick Tuesday, throws
additional light on the subject of seed
cane, and will prove interesting to those
who did not attend the meeting.
Among other things Colonel Wade said:
AS one great object Of this convention
is to bring to the forefront the profitable
net results of all the experience that can
be gathered and by these helps build up
these twin industries of cane and cassava
that some ofsus think can revolutionize
this section, herewith hand in my mite
for your consideration. 1t having been
demonstrated that we have the necessary
soil and climate and farmers that will
take hold if we can prove to them the
inherent value of these two great agricul-
tural products. AS the stock business
is the highest type of agriculture and the
thing most needed just now with US is to
cut off the vast amount of money going
north and west and save for home farm
ers this increment wealth, hence 1 say
cassava for stock and sugar, with its
STRENGTHENING power, to the human race.
IT has often been demonstrated that a
soldier can march a day on one-half
pound of sugar when other food was
lacking.
Therefore every desideratum we can ac-
cumulate to aid in it's successful growth
is of great value just now. have noted
