The ability to raise bale of cotton to the acre is,
probably the height of every progressive farmer s
ambition. Any suggestion bearing upon this prob
em therefore, is of very vital interest, not only to
the farmer but the public generally. In this con-
nection Mr.. Frank WoOdall, prominent Jones
county, Georgia planter offers the benefit OF hisexper'
fence along an entirely and novel line OF cotton
cultivation He says that he rarely fails to make a
bale to the acre, and his claim is c0rrObOrated by
local warehOusemen and others who have watched
his methods for number of years. "My cotton
never suffers from excessively hot weather" says
Mr.. WOOdall and the secret of this he explains by
saying he plants his cotton in the water iurrow-Or
in other words, Just as corn is planted The effect
OF th1s he says, is that the tap root quickly strikes
moisture and it goes right on to growing and then
the lateral roots spread out In the soft earth and
are never disturbed during cultivation. Mr. Wood
all says he has occasionally experimental, planting
some OF his cotton on the beds his negh5Ors have
dOne and some in the water burrows, with the re-
suit that the weather would ruin one field while the
cotton in the water furrOw would thrive. He has
made as high as 33 bales on 26 acres, he declares.
Mr.. WOOdall whois evidently an 0bservant far
mer, explains how he came to adopt this method
of cultivation by saying that he once planted some
green cOttOnseed under his as fertilizer, but
the seed sprouted and grew in the same furrOw with
the corn, battling all his efforts to bury the plant.
Finally being struck by the vgOrs OF the plants as
compared with cotton in other fields planted in the
old way, he concluded to give it q chance and see
what it would do. The result was astonishing; the
water furrow with the corn yielding average per
stalk more than double Of any other on the farm.
He decided that he had thus accidentally discover
ed the proper way to grow cotton, and finally aban
dOned the old method entirely. Many OF his neigh
bOrs he says, followed his example, and invaribly
secured similar results. He cultivates his cotton
entirely with pillow, the hoe hands never going into
the field except to chop the cotton to a stand II
Mr. WoOda is correct In his theory Of cotton grow
ing there is no question that he has rendered the
farmers of the South great service in making il
known.

Though Russell Sage's condemnation of PierpOnt
MOrgan's trust schemes seems very much like Satan
rebuking sin, the force Of what the old man says
cannot be denied. MIR. MOrgan's reported opinion
we are Just at the beginning of the trust leads
Mr. Sage to remark that il that lie 80 We may be also
much nearer the end of it than the trust magnates
dream of. Mr.. Morgan has been quoted as sayinng
that mOre gigantic corporations are stored in the
near future, some Of which may Overshadow the
steel tfust' This caused Mr.. Sage to make the fol-
lowing prediction In such an event the American
people will revolt against them and there will be
financial ruin the like of which this country has
never seen-nOr any other :" We are used to such
talk from hOtheaded sgitatOrs aud professional
alarmists but in this instance it comes from Of
the coolest and most deliberate Of men, one whose
associations and sympathies have been for many
years with the wealthy. This is not the cry OF a
socialist but the deliberately formed conviction Of
one of the ablest OF fnanciers He may not be a
prophet but he certainly takes a statesmanlke and
patriotic view of the trust problem when be says:
Combinations OF all Industries are menace to true
government. Not only so, but they are OppressOrs
Of the people," Mr.. Morgan seems to be laboring
under the deusiOn that the patience Of the people
may be tried indefinitely without danger Of exhaust
ing it. This theory has been held before by those
who we're high in political and plutOeTatic power
and some OF them have found out its iallacy at a
terrible cost,

The youthful reigning sOvereigns of continental
Europe are certainly furnishing their people the
spectacle of generation. The curtain has barely
iallentempOraril it is belieYed-On the pathetic
exhibition or domestic woe presented by the young
and unfortunate Wilhelmina of Holland, Alfonso Of
Spain rushes into the limeight of publicity and pro-
ceeds to administer to hereditary arstOcTaey and
plebeians alike shock, or, rather, succession Of
shocks, from which Spain is still suffering. And
the comedy or DRAMA whichever way it is viewed,
boyish caprice incipient insanity, is still holding
the royal boards in Madrid. The third exhibition,
rather another of an Syear-Old DRAMA has just
opened the stage in the Balkans in Servia where
its king, Alexandrith, son Of the memorable Milan
has since his majority alternately excited the wrath
pity Ofhis people. The scandals of his court and
encourage have made even blase rOues vince. Now
this disspated young monarch declares that he pro-
poses to adOpta peasant lad heir to his throne in
default Of natural heir The Servians might do
worse than accept this solution. The present dy-
nasty is descended from a sWineherd, and the pres
ent king, his father and his grand uncle have usti-
fed their origin. It is impossible to think other
wise than that all of these episodes are making for
democracy and future European republics.

Some of these cotton theorists declare it to be

The Savannah News which ridicules the Philadel.
phia syndicate's Cuban cotton scheme, says
Gas matter of fact experiments have been
made in Cuba in the cultivation of cotton. They
were made century or more ago, and again dur
ing the civil war in this country when there was a
great demand for cotton. If the experiments had
been successful Cuba would now be producing cot
ton. Evidently there is something in the soil or
climate OF the leland that is not suited to the cotton
plant. There is reason yet known that iustifes
