is practical and l like it very
much. F. Councilman.
St. Elmo, Ala,
English and Japanese walnuts
do alright here. We have heard
the latter especially highly spoken
of lately. We doubt ifany of the
improved kinds of tomatoes are
proof against blight but we will
ask some horticulturist. Wish
to answer further and also ans
wer about the blackberries. We
heard a gentleman say sometime
ago to use a half a pound of ice
to each pound of pork, land cut up
pork and put a layer of ice and a
layer of pork say in a box and let
remain until ice is melted. Then
salt meat down and handle in the
usual way and it will be sure to
keep. Will someone answer in
regard to beef.
Ask some physician about the

ordinary investment in seed.
Five to ten bushels of seed per
acre would probably give good
stand first year, but notices. than
that. 1t is a crop to work into
slowly, and when once stand is
secured it is with you forever.
One bushel of rye or two bushels
of barley Per acre will make a

There is no reason why the mill
owners should be made million
aires at our expense. Ii the
products of cottonseed are worth
so much, then cottonseed has a
corresponding value. This value
the farmer is entitled to. He can
get it if he will only hold on and
demand it. The mills must have
the seed, and they will pay their
full value for them if you will de-
mand it. The seed IN every
bale of cotton is worth from $13
to SIS. The farmer should get
at least $40 for every thousand
pounds of seed be sells. We are
not against the mill men, but we
are for the farmer in this and
in every other fight.
Farmers, stand for your rights
and demand the worth of your
products. Do not expect some
body else to do this for you, but
do it for yourselves.
The above from the Southern
Cultiyator is so full of error as to
be unworthy of that publication,
and is on that account calculated
to do much harm. Seed yield
Is pounds of linters instead OF
200 pounds, aud these are worth
about ~ cents instead Of 5000.
Then oil is worth only % cents
instead of IS cents. So the total
returns from ton of seed
amounts to about $1,000 instead
of $3l SO as the Cultlvator puts it.
If the seed were capable of turn.
ing out $3.50 :hen the price
ought to be about Sz7.OO. Since
they are capa Die of yielding only
$1,000 then $500 a ton must be
regarded as fair price. 1t costs
the mills about $3.OOa ton to
crush the seed. 1t costs $500
more TO buy and ship the seed.

Report On Cotton.

Mr.. John H. Wellborn, of Stark
vile, has been appointed a local
special agent of the Census Office
to collect cotton-ginning statis-
tics for this county, and we join
the Government in urging the
ginners to give Mr.. Wellborn
their hearty support and co-ope-
ration, thus enabling him to make
prompt and accurate returns.
We would impress upon the GIN
ners the fact that this agent is a
sworn officer of the Government,
and that their reports are for
warded as given to him directly
to the Census Office, at Washing
ton, without passing through the
hands of any middlemen.. The
information given is held as
strictly confidential, and the
operations of individual ginners
are not divulged. Upon the joint
cooperation OF the cotton
growers,ginners, and local agents
must depend the success of the
Census Office in this inquiry, and
it's ability to render this great
service to the Southern people
and to all interested in the cotton
staple.
4 he Census Office has demon
strated in three annual reports;
the fact that the ginners are the
only reliable source of informa-
ton as to the volume of the an
nual cotton crop. This is very
complimentary to the ginners,
who, no doubt, will feel a pride
in sustaining the reputation
earned.
In recognition of this interest
shown by the ginners, and of a
general demand for more fire.
quent reports through this
source, Congress, in the act Great
ing a permanent census Office,
provided for the collection and
publication of these statistics at
intervals during the ginning
season. For the crop 1902 the
Office will issue,three reports: the
first two will cover the quantity
of cotton ginned up 10 an d includ.
ing October 10 and Decem Der Is.
respectively; and the final report
The Southern farm gazette. (Starkville, Miss.) 1895-1909, 1902-10-15

Will cover the total quantity GU
ned from the growth Of 1902.
Realizing that the collection
of the data for these reports
is made at season when the GIN
ners' time is greatly taxed, and
approaching the necessity for
promptreturns, the Census Office
has located, in each county con.
tanning ten or more g'nneries, an
agent. who will visit each ginnery
in the county and secures report
of the quantity of cotton ginned
up to certain dates. In under
taking the frequent and hurried
reports now sought, it is of vital
Importance that the returns be
made with absolute uniform
and that all be received at Wash
ington at one ne. This result
could not be expected from in
dividual requests made by mail
of 10000 ginners, at time when
they are engrossed in their GIN
ming work. Furthermore, the
Census Office must be kept adj
vised of all changes in the
management and operation OF
these establish ments, and secure
returns from all new and revived
plants. To accomplish such re-
suits, it becomes necessary for
the Office to have local represen-
tatives who shall be charged with
the duty OF keeping in close touch
with the ginning industry in
each county, and of promptly re.
porting the quantity OF cotton
ginned.
The statistics for October re.
port will be collected during the
week beginning with Monday
October 20, and ginners should
keep such records as will enable
them to furnish promptly the
required information. These
returns will be tabulated, and
the result published within one
week from their receipt at Wash
ing ton.
Cotton statistics collected
through the com mercial system,
however accurately compiled,
fall short of the demand of both
producer and manufacturer
first, in that as they cover the
quantity of cotton marketed be-
tween September l of one year
and Angus, 81 of the following,
they are not statistics of a crop
grown in any one year; and
second, in the liability to error
involved in statistics so compiled
Nothing short of official reports,
made sufficiently early to form a
basis Of prices, will en- tlrely salts

facturer. 1t is gratifying to
know that the South has the as
sistance and cooperation of the
Government in bringing abou'
the result they desire-an under
taking the success OF which now
depends upon the cotton grower.

HOME RULE ron IRELAND.
Trend Of Events Favorable 90 IN
Cause.

St. Louis Globe-Demoerat
The question Of home rule for ireland
being brought TO the front in a prominent
way. The efforts OF the Irish members Cd
Parliament in that direction are. OF course,
as active as ever. " IL a matter which is
just now attracting the attention OF the
premiers OF the various British colonies,
who are trying to arrive at some new basis
for the organization OF the empire. Both
the Australian and the Canadian premiers
favor autonomy for ireland. Other ofheiaIs
Of their order are believed to take the same
ground. This is hopeful for the Irish cause.
But Lord Rosebery, the most prominent
Of all the liberals since the death OF Glad
stone, and the man who succeeded Glad
stone when the latter, in 1894. stepped
down from the premiership for the last
time. has come out strongly against home
rule. He says II means the disruption OF
the empire IN an American paper he de-
cleres that there IL an internal ineom-
patibility between the slow. conscientious
Protestant Anglo-saxon race and the quick
witted Celtic Roman Catholic race, with
different aims. different churches, and
last and not least. a different sense Of
humor." This settles the matter. accord
ing to Lord Rosebery. and prevents the
granting Of anything like local self rule to
ireland.
The question, II viii be seen, Is d~ihcult,
but 1t Will have to be met in the spirit in
which the Canadian and Australian pre-
miers represent. Autonomy on the Cana
dian and Australian plan would. Of course,
have been as strongly opposed by the late
Premier Salisbury in his last days In ONCE,
as was the limited home rule plan when
proposed by Gladstone In 1856. Neverths-
less. It must come, II the United Kingdom
is to have peace at home. Lord Rosebery
can never favor II, and there are many lib
erals who hold the Rosehery view on this
question, but the more enlightened spirit
of the empire may be relied on to have some
influence on this question in time, and to
raise up s party which will do for ireland
what was long ago done for Canada and
what was recently lone for Australia. Per-
haps some Of the more progressive tories,
under the lead Of the present premier. may
take more advanced ground on the Irish
question than the liberals are doing, Just
as the Tories under Disraeli in 1867 made
a virtue Of necessity and passed a reform
bill which was better in some respects than
the one the liberals had previously pro-
posed.

Inasmuch as the reorganization was effected

Force OF Public OpiniOn Quickly
Ends n strike.

Now York Evening Post.
Rarely. II ever. has there been such q
manifestation Of the force OF public opin-
Ion, when focused on q single Issue, as that
given In New Haven last week on the occa-
sion OF the strike OF the street railway
employees. The whole city was on strike
with the motormen against a railroad man
agement which. while giving the community
%efhcient service, had been arbitrary and
unjust tOward it's employees. and had been
some decades behind the times in its atti-
tude toward organized labor. No question
Of wages was involved; Il was merely a
demand by the employees for respectful
treatment and the right to membership in
a labor organization. seconded By the people
generally. and emphasized by some indig-
nent stockholders OF the railroad corpora
tion. There was no violence. and no Occa-
sion for any. With q shreWdness unex-
pected OF them, the railroad managers made
no attempt to run their cars with imported
labor, knowing thai In the existing temper
OF the people the cars would have run
empty. For four days the people walked,
with criticism only Of the railroad manage
ment. while a committee OF the business
men awaited the slow return OF the rail-
roads president from = yachting trip -
champion before him the cause OF the
motormen. Under the circumstances. OF
course, the railroad managers had to yield
substantially All that was asked OF them.
II both they n their employees have
learned the impressive lesson, the strike
viii not have been IN vain. and. perhaps.
In a similar situation again public opinion
may operate without the friction and the
loss Of . strike
