and in the valley of the Mississippi river
 of the United States and in the valley of
 the Nile. Egypt. What was grown eise-
 where. as on the islands of the Pacif0
 and in South America, was either too
 small to be taken account of. or was not
 suitable for fine spinning.
 To meet possible deficiency in produc-
 ton of sea island or Egyptian cotton, the
 most promising region was through the
 valley of the Mississippi river, but how much this could be depended on was a mooted question and it there or anywhere else the cultivation had to be forced or carried on at an unusual expense, the ccst of the product would prevent or discour- age its growth. It was well known that
 excellent cotton could be raised on the
 bottom islands of many of the rivers of
 our Southern States but how far it could
 be extended at cost that would induce
 its cultivation and be acceptable to the
 demands of manufacture was uncertain.
 'Tt was a commercial problem. he said.
 whether it paid to raise cotton exceeding
 1 5-S to B. inch staple with an average
 diameter of fibre exceeding one fifteen
 hundredth to one eighteen-hundredth of
 an inch. The time might come when 1t
 would. At the best no doubt. the supply of these extra and extra fine grades would always be limited and as yet they had not been pro0uCeu duyWuero OLueE than on islands of South Carolina. It possi- bly, would be long time before much of these high grades would be wanted. The
 sea islands of South Carolina long. ana perhaps forever, would be the nursery of the sea island or long staple cultivation. Without an occasional renewal of seed from them the growth of long staple cot ton elsewhere declined, whether 1t be in the interior of Georgia and Florida or In the valley of the Nile.

GETTING RID OF HYAcINTHs.
Work Undertaken by the Government
 in Florida Watery.


 A Jacksonville (Fla.) special to The New York Tribune says: To those who know Of the hyacinth only as pretty water plant 1t may seem strange that the government Is devoting thousands of dollars toward destroying it, and that only after this State and scores of in- dividuals and companies have devoted large sums to the same purpose. But 1t is true. The hyacinth that blooms in so lovely a manner and is a pretty household plant has become in Florida waters terrible pest, a menace to the navigation of the rivers and creeks and ha scost steamboat companies and lum- bermen large amount of money in the vain endeavor to clear out the St. Johns and its tributaries.
 The hyacinth was introduced here many years ago by planter living near Palat- ka. on the St. Johns ffty-seven miles above here. It speedily fiourished and was the owners admiration and delight. Later the plants began spreading, and soon covered the bayous in the St. Johns. near his place, and later they spread to south Florida. Year by year the invas- ion increased, and son the rivers and creks became almost impossible for boats by reason of the immense beds of hya- cinths clogging up the waters. Many were the schemes tried in the effort to rid the waters of this pest. Chemical solutions were sprnKled on them, but the hyacinths only grew the faster. Boats were tried that had sharp propellers to cut them down and the plants were drag ged out on the bankes. This proved too costly.
 After months of work and worry the general government was appealed to. An appropriation was secured. and the gov ernment engineers tackled the problem. Many were the ideas and suggestions given. Scores were tried and given ur as impracticable. In Louisiana the same trouble was experienced. and in time the engineers here, taking lessons from those at work there. solved the problm, and In a few days the large steam tug La Reve started out in its first fight against the hyacinth pest, fully equipped for it's work
 The tug was purchased for this work especially. and is strong and stxnchs with extra heavy boilers and engines. So that power can be used to force the boat through the beds of the plant.
 For the last year or more the St. John, has been covered with floating beds oi the plant. varying from those of few acres in area to those mile or two long extending sometimes from shore to shore As the plants became crowded together they packed, closely, almost solidly. and fin many places, on the upper St. Johns where the river Is narrow. they are st solidly packed that people can cross tn, river on them. The roots extepd dowr from four to tea feet, and the plants arr so solidly and compactly packed that ar ordinary steamer cannot force its way through them.
