THE MANIPULATED" PRESS.
| Since Speaker Henderson used the
above unfortunate term in referring to
newspapers that favor tariff conces-
sions to Cuba some one has compiled a
pamphlet of a hundred pages or more
entitled 1.-THE Manipulated Press on
the Cuban Situation" which contains
brief ten line comments of the leading
republican papers of each state upon
this subject. Today we republish few
from newspapers in
iowa.
Too little attention has been paid to
what Cuba offers in return for conces-
sions by us in the sugar and tobacco
tariff schedules.-Des Moines Leader.
There must be no failure of helpful
legislation for Cuba. Cuba, redeemed
from tyranny, is not merely the ward of
our nation; it is the child of our people.
-Traer star Clipper.
Leaving out the question OF senti-
ment or duty 1t would be greatly to the
advantage of both the United States
and Cuba to have proper reciprocity
treaty, and congress ought to adopt
|such treaty and do 1t quickly.-Sfoux
City journal.
The influence of Iowa in congress
should be cast on the side of liberal
policy in dealing with Cuba. The beet
sugar industry has not developed in
this state, nor is Its developmentneces-
sary to the states prosperity.-Du-
huque journal.
The country faces the prospect of q
full grown infant which can offer moth
ing in return in the shape of cheaper
sugar, and with this prospect is another
that the future tax on the consumer
will make the present one of $S0,000,000
look small.-Sioux City Tribune.
The correspondence of the Chronicle
from various towns in MI. Henderson's
district and from other Iowa points
shows that his course is opposed by the
public sentiment in his owS party in his
district and turnout the state.-Clarion
Democrat.
There is a very earnest demand
among loyal republicans in Iowa for
slight tariff changes. If we wish to
promote in Cuba that prosperity which
is Indispensable to the maintenance OF
stable government our duty is plain.
We must reduce the tariff to an extent
that will wipe out this deficit and re-
place it with reasonable profit. The
exact size of the reduction demanded
should be a mere mathematical prob
lem for congress to figure out.-Sioux
City Journal.
It appears to us that there should be
no serious trouble, if we want to be
honest, in ascertaining what our duty
is to Cuba. We promised the Cubans
independence. This was declared when
war with Spain was declared. This
was not promise made by any one
man or any set of men. 1t was the
promise Of the nation made by solemn
act of congress.-Cr American.

"BLACK HEART" IN COTTON
MAY NOW BE PREVENTED

,VALDOSTA, Ca, July 285-The United
States department of agriculture has been
making some experiments near Valdosta
this year, the result of which will prove
of great benefit to the farmers of the
sea island cotton belt. The experiments
have been conducted quietly, but the
result has been so satisfactory that they
are now given to the public.
The experiments were TO see If wilt"
or ''black heart" could not be prevented
in cotton, and the result is that seed
have been obtained that are totally i'm
mune to these diseases. Professor VIM.
A. orion, assistant pathologist of the
department, who was In this section
making some investigations as to the
cause of the disease. etc., last year,
was in the city again this week looking
after the experiments which have been
made through his advice by farmers here.
Professor orion told your correspond
ent how the department has succeeded
in getting the resfstent or immune seed
From an infected field Of cotton a num-
Der of the healthiest and most vigorous
plants were taken, and the seed from
these plants were planted the follow
ing season in soil that showed no signs
of infection. This process was contin-
ued the second and third year, with the
result that a practically immune cotton
has been secured. The process has been
on the line Of breeding" the seed being
carried up to the highest quality Of health
fulness by careful cultivation.
The experiments here were tried on Mr..
T. G. Smiths place, seed having been
sent to him by Professor Norton. Mr..
Smith planted the seed in field that
was very prevalent with black heart
last year. To make the test more thor
ough he was instructed 10 plant the re-
sistent seed by the side OF nonresident
or diseased seed. An examination this
week shows that the immune seed has
no trace of the disease, presenting uni
formly vigorous and healthy appearance,
while the other is thoroughly infected by
the disease.

ments which the department has made

JUDGE ATKINSON WRITES
OF TRANSFER MATTER

Editor of The Journal, Atlanta, Ga:
Dear Sir-In you issue of July 18th, I'M
der the headline Railroads May Decline
to Transfer" / am quoted, in connection
with your discussion of the probable &C
ton Of the railroads under rule Is. as re-
Gently amended by the rOilroad commits
sion, as having told the members Of the
Atlanta Freight Bureau at the time the
ruling was made that It was doubtful
whether or not the commission could en-
force the ruling, as thre was no law in
Georgia that compelled the railroads to
engage in the transfer business; that IT
was entirely optional with the railroads.
beg to advise that your reporter is
mistaken in so far as that opinion is at
tributed to me. In the first place have
not considered the probability Of the rail-
road companies disFegarding rule of the
commission. L have entertained no doubts
on the question. If had entertained
them should not have expressed them In
advance of the consideration of that ques-
ton by the railroad commission. The on
ly incident from which such conclusion
could by any possibility have been drawn
was this; In the course of the hearing
1t was claimed by one Of the representa-
tives OF the railroads that the railroad
companies did not desire to do that kind
OF business, and expressed doubt as to
whether they could be compelled TO per-
form II. / suggested that If they did not

could not be compelled to perform 1t, then
it would seem to be a matter of indiner-
ence to them what rate the commission
prescribed for the service.
beg that you will print this explana-
ton Of my position in the matter, as
do not care to have opinions attributed to
me which 1 did not express.
I note in your paper Of a former date
that you refer to this matter as one that
was initiated upon the complaint Of the
Atlanta Freight Bureau. In this respect
you are also mistaken The Atlanta
Freight Bureau became interested in the
discussion of the questions involved in the
reconstruction of rule rs only as repre-
,sentatives of the Atlanta Chamber Of
Commerce, which body, in common with
the boards Of trade of Savannah, Bruns-
witch, Macon, Augusta and Columbus
were notified that the railroad commission
would be pleased to hear them upon the
subject Of the modification Of rule q. The
question was one OF general importance;
the discussion was introduced upon the
initiative of the railroad commission, and
the Atlanta Freight Bureau, In common
with the other boards Of trade mentioned
were invited to participate. To this extent
only can it be said that the Atlanta
Freight Bureau participated in bringing
about the change.
Respectfully yours,
SPENCER ATKINSON.

sion, but protection" That Is my under

in other sections show that the only hope
of the farmers in getting rid of the dis
ease, where II has once gotten foot
hold, is by the use of seed that has been
made immune by this system of develop
ment. The disease has made its appear
ance in recent years and has caused great
losses to cotton planters who were ignor-
ant Of the proper way to treat IL. The
disease is said to be of fungus origin and
remains in the soil to make its appear
ance after seven years, the land, having
been planted in other crops in the mean
time. Professor Orion regards "black
heart" as the deadliest enemy Of cotton
and one with which the farmers cannot
afford to trife. If allowed to go uncheck-
ed he thinks II will, in q few years, raw
age the sea island cotton fields as 1t has
the upland fields in some sections of Ala
bama and other cotton growing states.
Professor orion expects to return to
Valdosta in October and will endeavOr TO
secure the names of all farmers who have
cotton, with a view to furnishing them
a limited amount Of immune seed. free
of cost, FOR next years planting and for
the purpose OF securing immune seed
next year. He believes, however. that
it IS I'm the power of every farmer to inn
prove his seed by careful and intelli-
gent selection Of seed.
Mr.. orion also had an experiment In
planting Egyptian cotton tried in this
section this year. He sent a lot Of seed
to Mr.. Smith for the purpose of making
test, but the result leads to the conclu-
sion that the Egyptian staple is not adap-
ted to the soil and climate Of this section.
There appears TO be too much moisture
in the atmosphere, producing large.
woody plant, with little fruit upon 1t.
The tests that have been made in Texas
and along the Mexican border are said
to have been much more satisfactory.
This was expected, as It was known here
that the finer staple OF sea island cotton
grows to perfection in the low lands OF
Georgia and Florida, while the staple
becomes shorter the higher up It Is
planted.

Lying.
BY REV. JOHN A. WRAY,
OF MIIledgeVllle.

Far back beyond the skyline of history,
before the mountain even brought forth
or even God had formed the earth and
the world; yes, before the stars sang
together, before the morning glories
bloomed and the flowers gave forth their
sweetest perfume under the kisses OF
pure atmosphere; before sunshine and
dewdrop hung the diamond necklace about
the rosebud, before the bird twttted love
to his mate, to the delicate music of the
aeioan harps as their strings were finger
ed by the soft breezes kissing the face
of a newborn world-lying had Its birth
day.
The devil, "the father of IT," praeticed
this art in the garden Of long ago, and
well did. he execute, for he poisoned a
paradise and lured from this haven OF
smile and home of love Its inhabitants
to a sin cursed world.
The poison he flung from his lying fangs
has been found, under the xrays OF
Gods truth, to be mixed in the blood
flowing through all generations.
When I mediate upon this subject
find myself almost subscribing to a be-
lief in evolution-evolution of the lies and
lying. The first liar in the garden was
a snake-he crawled, but few hundred
years after he had assumed the form and
garb of man and his name was legion,
in so much that David cried out in his
haste: "All men are liars"
We know that today he no longer crawis
but walks and talks and shouts and
sings; oloaks himself in broadcloth as
well as tatters, in dress suits and walk
ing skirts and is found in high and low,
public and private places.
Unlike many others, that reached their
zenith in years agone, this art Of lying,
though aged, has lost none OF Its popu-
larity and holds its place as one OF the
fine arts of today. Swift we'll said:
Although this Devil be the father Of
lies, he seems, like other great inventors,
to have lost much of his reputation by
continual improvements that have been
made upon him."
There are big liars and little liars,
young and old liars; prevaricators and
exagerators; occasional and constitutional
liars. There are black lies and white
lies; spoken lies and acted lies; Abs and
stories. and still-"there are Others"
We read that in the country Of Siam.
a kingdom of Asia, that he who told a
lie was punished according to law by hav-
ing his mouth sewed up. II this pre-
vailed in this country today 1t would be
hard to have congregational singing, the
political stump speaker would be a thing
Of the past, congressional and legislative
halls would be beggard and we would
listen for the sound Of a voice that is
still.
Let us provide things honest before all
men and strive to have a conscience void
of offense toward God and man. Realiz-
ing this great truth, las a man thinketh
so is he;" whatsoever things are true,
honest and of good report, let us think
Of those things as
I'VE climb the worlds great altar stairs

CALIFORNIA; METHOD AGAINST
THE SAN JOSE SCALE
Editor Atlanta Journal:

Editor Atlanta Journal:
/ have recently received copies Of bulle-
tins Nos. u and Y from the agricultural
experiment station Of illinois, containing
the results Of experiments with insecti-
cides for San Jose scale, from which 1t
would appear that the washes" used by
the fruit growers of California and Ore
gon are more effectual and cheaper than
the spraying with kerosene emulsion gen.
orally practiced by the Georgia growers
and for this reason II is Of importance to
our growers to know the character Of these
washes, their mode of application, and
the results obtained with them. These
washes are made as follows:
California WashT-Fffteen pounds Of
stone line are slaked in a little very hot
water, fifteen pounds Of ground sulphur
being slowly poured in during the slack
ing. with constant stirring of the mixture.
This is then boiled for an hour, after
which fifteen pounds of salt are added and
the boiling continued for fifteen minutes
longer The whole is then poured into a
barrel through a strainer, and enough
boiling water added to make 50 gallons
Oregon Wash-A pound and quarter Of
blue vitriol user instead of the salt, the
crystals of the blue vitriol being dissolved
in hot water and the solution added slowly
to the shaking lime.
These washes are applied with a spray
pump, at any time during the fall or win
ter after the trees have shed their leaves.
The cost of these washes is $112 per hun
dred gallons, as against $3.50 per. hundred
gallons of kerosene emulsion diluted to
contain 20 per cent of kerosene.
A very thorough test Of these washes
was made by the agricultural experiment
station of Illinois, and the results are sum
med up by Mr.. s. A. Forbes, state entomol-
ogist, as showing that these washes are a
valuable insecticide for winter use, that
frequent short rains do not diminish tt sir
