A CHEERFUL PROSPECT,

Secretary Wilson's optimistic proph-
ecy Of the greatest corn crop in the
history of the United States is en-
coursging because of the prophets
high standing as an authority. Every.
one who is familiar with agricultural
conditions will take the same ressste
view Of the situation
There are few localities where the
corn crop will not be above the aver
age. There has been little drought.
Floods and excessive rains have hurt
the prospects in small areas, but it
mar almost be said with truth that for
every busheI lost on bottom farms
because of high water two bushels have
been gained on the uplands.
To the mercantile interests bumper
crops mean everything From present
indications the foreign demand for ce-
reals will be enough to keep the trsns
portation interests busy. The railroads
will be assured Of sufficient traffic to
continue high profits. Factories viii
continue working overtime to supply
s-4sa-aa ...s de- -: ID Of 6rospcrous consumers
Corn is not the only great crop
There has been a normal yield o
wheat Oats has been fair. PotatoeI
are reported in quantities large enough
to lower the price beneath that OF last
year. Hay is third heavier in the sec
lions which were drought stricken las
year. Plenty of grass feeds at low
cost all kinds of live stock.
And so on through the list. Th'
country is blessed with good weather.

COTTON WILT.

In his address before the cotton
states commissioners of agriculture in
session at Nashville, W. A. Orton, of
the department of agriculture OF the
Dmtad statep, spoke upon the subject
of cotton wilt, which has done much
damage in the cotton belt during the
past few years. Mr. Orton has made
an interesting discovery in this con
nectioA and one which may prove to
be of inestimable benefit to the cotton
growers of the south. He has stud
led the matter closely and for the
past four years has given it mnch at
tantion. Thousands Of acres of cot
ton have been ruined by the wilt, and
no remedy has so far been discovered,
but Mr.. Orton thinks he has found a
"tesistent cotton which may solve
4 tAs problem. He says that when q
Sid is favaged and au occasional
stalk is left standing, the seed from
such stalk will produce an lmmuEe e
plant.
The disease is characterized by the
sudden whiting Of the stalk It first
appears in spots and gradually
spreads, the soil being permanently
affected. The cause is fungus in the
soil which gains access to the plant
through its root, finally cuttlug Off all
substance.
Experiments with the immune plants
nave not gone far enough to ascertain
nov long the seed from such plants
Will continue TO produce immune
growth, and until this is thoroughly
tested Mr.. Orton thinks the best thing
'o' farmers TO do is to plant other
fcrops on the affected land.
This discovery, il il proves success
ini, may be worth thousands Of dollarl

Dr. Milo R Matbe. chairman Of the committee,
informed Tribune reporter that the committee
had been in COmmunica lion with the Rapid Transit
Commission regarding advertising in the Brooklyn
subway. and thus far the commission had cordially
received the suggestion made that in the contract
soon to he advertised for the construction of the
subway all power over advertisements should be
reserved to the Rapid Transit Commission Or.
Maltbie said II probable that the committee
would appear before the Rapid Transit Commits
sion, although that might prove TO be unnecessary.
owing TO the favorable opinion which the commits
sion had of the suggestion.
Dr. Maltbie added that the committee was soon
10 meet with Buildings Superintendent Stewart and
Alderman Ware. who had drafted an ordinance for
the regulation OF billboards and sky signs. While
having determined on no definite line of action the
committee desired so far as it could be done with
out exceeding the powers conferred in the charter
quire that a permit he granted before any one was
erected and restrict the size of sky signs erected
upon the roofs of buildings projecting from a
