MIR. Theodore IL. Price, of New

reasons therefor are given in the fol-
lowing interview, which has been sent
throughout the South:
take this means of nnswcrinr
huntreds of tclcgraphlc inquiries reach
ing from all over tho country in rc-
gard to the cotton market. Ii is M
possible for me to reply TO them in-
dividually. The report of tho United
states government, issued today, in
regard to the cotton crop indicates a
condition of "a, which is the lowest on
record for September. 1t is, and has
been confirmed and forcshadowcd hy
all other reports, public and private,
Tor the past three weeks. The most
optimistic construction that is possible
TO put upon the government report
does not justify the expectation of
crop of 100000 bales of American
cotton.
The world consumed during the
year just ended 100000 bales of
American growth, and in order to
make this supply Suffice. reserves
everywhere arc practically exhausted.
For the coming season the world will
require, conservatively estimated,
about IL 100000 bales of American
cotton. There is then theoretical
deficiency between the maximum sup
ply and the minimum demand of at
least 100000 bales. An actual de-
llcloncy is commercially unthinkable.
The price must go TO a figure that will
chock consumption. This price is by
no means reached yet. America has
q practical monopoly of cotton produc-
ton. Peace rcigns universally through
ou: the world, industrial and CONNER.
elal enterprise is unchecked and ex-
pandlnS Next to food stuffs cotton
IS the most important and necessary
staple consumed by civilized society.
"l think it entirely probable that
before any effect upon consumption is
apparent cotton will be selling at 10
cents a pound in the South and doubt
II the advance will stop there. If pro-
duccrs Of the article arc wise they will
demand and obtain that figure"

DIR Gatling's Scheme for Maxi
ing Easy the Ti!;ing of the
Soil.
From powIng to automobiling seems
far cry, yet these two extremes arc
combined in the latest invention of
Dr. N. }. Calling, originator of the
famous rapid firing gun which bears
his name, according to the ST. Louis
RcpubHc.
AT the age of 70 DR.. Calling has
conceived the idea of replacing farm
horses with gasoline and changing the
adornmcnt Of farmers hands from
callouscs TO chauifcurs' gloves. In
other words, plowiny is to be revolu-
tioniZcd, az was modern warfare.
Many years ago the cradle took tho
place of tho sickle, and that was lator
driven out of the field by the reaper,
which, after a short but useful career,
was replaced by the sclf-bindlng har-
vcstcr, each, in it's newer and better
methods, chcapcning tho cost of pro.
ducing wheat. During all this time,
while the methods of harvesting the
crops were beng 80 much bcttcrcd by
introducing labor saving machinery,
very little progress has been made to-
ward chcapcning the cost Of preparing
the land for the seed.
IT has renamed for DR.. Gatling to
invent a motor plow, drivon by u gaso-
line engine Of sufficient power TO pro-
pei the plows at amy desired depth bc-
tween one ana twelve inches. The
