considered among the best wheat
growing sections of the Union. 1t
is believed by the best practical
agricultural thinkers and writer's
that within twenty years the South
will be producing, If prices iusti-
fly, more than 100000, 900 bushels
Of wheat on 25,0O0,OOO acres, less
than one-twentieth of the superb
cial area of the South" +"
"The corn crop for 1900 was
grown on SO, 800, ,s72 acres and ag-
gregated 2,1O5, ,1O2,51s bushels.
This was an average yield of 25.S
bushels per acre. 1t is not extrav
agant to say that the States of
Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas,
Mississippi and Georgia could
easily grow as much corn as is now
produced in the Uuited States
without redistricting the area given
to cotton and tobacco.
''But allowing that the quantity
of standard crops of grain in the
whole country could not be dupli-
cataAin the South, there are crops
peculiar to that section, which
added to the other crops, could
easily be made to equal in money
value all the grain crops now made
in the United States as well as
other crops. The cotton crop of
1900, including seed, was valued at
1886, 900, 900. This could be in
creased many fold; so could the
sugar and rice CROP Indeed, with
anything like intensive farming,
the present cotton crop could be
easily grown in the State of Texas,
which now produces one-fourth OF
the crop.
"The tobacco crop of the United
States will average nearly 500,-
900, 900 pounds. This crop could
be duplicated many times upon
one-tenth of the unimproved lands
of the South.
''The rice crop at present grown
in the South is 1875, ,99O,7
pounds, estimated to be worth
$40, 100000. This is one of the
growing agricultural industries of
the South.
"The estimated value of all farm
products of the United States for
1900 was SO, 1000, 100000. Should
the demand ever come the South
could sell at present price enough
cotton to reach this sum. Take
the value of the products of the
South to be 1920, 100000 as es-
timated, and it will approximate
the value of nearly one-half of all
the agricultural products of the
United States. There is only 20
per cent of the land in the South
improved. Concede that only so
per cent is susceptible of
being improved, then the South
could easily produce more than

WONDERFUL SOUTH.

BALTIMORE, MD, Sept. g.
Hardly week passes without the
record of a substantial addition to
the wealth of the country made or
promised in the development of
the natural resources of the South.
Hardly a student approaches the
subject without being strongly
impressed with the wonderful pos
sibilities of that section in manu-
featuring and agriculture, the in
ter dependent basis of Southern
progress. This fact, with partic-
ular reference to agriculture, is
forcibly brought out in an article
published this week by the Manu-
featuring Record and written by
Col. j. B. Killebrew, of Nashville,
Tenn, recognized authority upon
a vast range of topics related to the
material interests of the South,
who has done especially valuable
work in advancing agriculture
there. Col. Killebrew says:
"The earth has nowhere upon
its bosom another region SO fruit
full as the South in multiplied ag-
ricultural capabilities, or in those
elements that increase human in.
dustry and human happiness.
Every year discovers some new
resource in the South. 1t grows
every food plant needed by man.
1t produces more and better textile
plants than any other portion of
the globe. 1t is rich in almost
every mineral used in the arts
iron, copper, zinc, lead. marble,
etc. 1t has phosphate to enrich
its soils, coal and water power to
drive it's machinery. 1t is the
coming focus of the worlds COM
merce and the center of its indus
try. Its possible cotton crop can
employ more people than any
other product grown on the earth
and what is better, the South can
feed them all from its fertile fields.
"The South is vast region and
has more varied soils, climatic
conditions and the capacity for the
growth Of more crops than any
like area in the world. It's fora is
remarkable in variety, value and
quantity. Estimating the fruits,
vegetables, grasses, berries, cereal
crops, textile plants and other veg
etab!e productions of economic
value, there are not fewer than 125
products of the soil that are grown
and may be grown with profitable
results. Indeed, it may be said OF
the Southern States that if all the
varieties Of vegetable products
grown on the earth were destroyed
except those that may be brought
to maturity in the Southern States,
mankind would scarcely miss
them"
Concerning special crops, Col
Killebrew says:
H During the year. of 1900 the
United States produced on 40, ,495,-
2S5 acres 522, ,229, ,505 bushels Of
wheat. This was on about 66, 400
square miles or less than one
twelfth of the area of the Southern
States. The uplands in nearly
every portion of the South can be
made to produce this great cereal
pro6tably. There are millions Of
acres of such land now awaiting
the labors of intelligent husband
men, and the time is not far dis
tant when the Central States of tbs

Facts About ola Toce

In fixing the approximate date of any
given piece of lace it is well to remember
that machine made thread was not used
until after the beginning Of the eighteenth
century. Before that time the threads
ran in lengths of about twenty inches, for
the worker could stretch no farther than
her distaif and had t. break off and join
again; if after unravelng some twenty
five inches of thread no joint is found,
the lace is surely after the Introduction
of machine made thread: The brides
ornec" alone are enough to 90 by; in the
fifteenth century the bar had only a knot
or dot ms ornament; in the sixteenth, a
double or single loop; in the seventeenth,
a star. The edging also helps; sharp
angle in the scallop fixes the date in the
middle ages; the rounded scallop came in
with the nineteenth century; with the
seventeenth century a dotted scallop; the
eighteenth one is more elaborate a large
alternating with a small scallop and dots
along the center of each.-St. Louis Re

WHY DE CANTILLON GOT OUT
Says He Was lndiscrect. Not Dishonest. In
Ciyil Service Deal.

The brief political career Of P. j. De Can
tillon OF Brooklyn was brought TO an abrupt
close a week or so ago when, under pressure
from the Willoughby Street managers,
he resigned his place az private secretary
to Deputy Street Cleaning Commissioner
Quinn and 81 go salary.
The political star of Mr.. De Cantillon
made its first appearance about two years
ago when he broke of lifelong friendship
with Coffey and helped the regular forces
dethrone him. He was rewarded with the
private secretaryship, retiring from news
paper work 10 accept 1t. His ENHANCEMENT
in a scandal over the appointment Of DR..
Robert j. Sweeny as a fireman was the
cause of his enforced retirement.
Eight months ago Sweeney tried TO get
on the Fire Department pay rolls but
failed getting only 3s per cent. In the civil
service examination In his second ex-
SO 80 was assigned 10 Company los
a. a probationary fireman. De Cantillon
admits that il was through him that Sweeney
put himself in the hands Of the manager
of a school ia brooklyn, where aspirants
for places in the Police and Fire departments
are specially instructed
DE Cantillon says that Sweeney agreed
70 pay the school manager $500 in case he
was successful. Sweeney, however. put
up only s4S, refusing 20 pay the remaining
$3.50 aud lodged a complaint with the VIII
loughby Street managers against N Can
tillon for demanding 1t. Mr.. DE- Cantil Hon
was summoned 20 the auction room and
admitted that he Wa guilty of indiscretion,
but denied any dishonest or selfish motives.
MIR Shevlin advised De Cantillon 20 resign
for the sake Of the organization and he
complied. II Is said that the Grand Jury
may iuNpStigate
