IMPROVEMENT OF COTTON
BY SELECTION OF SEED

year. About two hundred feet distant
was small patch of upland cotton. The
weevils appeared on the upland cotton
early in the season and almost entirely
destroyed it. They did not appear on the
init aft until the middle of October and
damaged it very little. The nit atifi
yielded about 1,O66 pounds per acre while
the upland variety yielded about POD
pounds per acre. This was in spite of
the fact that the upland cotton was much
earlier than the Egyptian and would nor
mally be expected to produce a much
larger crop in the boil weevil district
owing to this fact.

Weekly Summary of Crop Condition.

Washington, July 1.-THE weather bu-
reau's weekly summary of crop condl-
tons is as follows:
The temperature during the week end
ing July IL was very favorable in all DIS
tricts east of the Rocky mountains and
Rocky mountains and middle plateau re-
gions it was too cool with frosts In ex-
posed places Portions of the lower ONO
and central Mississippi valleys, southern
Florida and western Texas are in need
of rain, but elsewhere there is ample
moisture. Portions of the south Atlantic
and east gulf states have suffered from
excessive rains.
Ccrn-Corn has everywhere made splen-
did growth and is much improved. though
generally backward and in portions OF the
upper Ohio valley and middle Atlantic
states is Weedy.
Winter Wheat-The week has been very
favorable for harvesting winter wheat.
which work is very largely completed eX-
cept in the more northerly sections.
Oats-The oat harvest is IN general
progress in the central valleys, good
braska and Oklahoma. but light yields
from the states Of the Ohio valley.
Cotton-Throughout the cotton belt
there has been general Improvement
in cotton. which has made vigorous and
healthy growth. There is. however. gen
eral complaint of grassy fields in the
coast district OF the eastern section and
in Texas the crop being in a better state
of cultivation in Mississippi and over the
northern portion of the central districts.
Boil weevil in Texas are less numerous.
Tobacco-The general outlook for tobac-
co is very promising, the least favorable
reports being received from Ohio.
Apples-Onlv a fair crop of apples is
indicated in the most of the principal APP
pie states

Changed Methods of Farming.

A great change has taken place
here in the methods of farming in
recent years. Twenty years ago the
entire tillab1e area of St. Croix and
Pierce counties was practically
given up to the cultivation of wheat.
Other things raised were mere ac-
cessories, necessities-as oats and
hay enough to feed the teams need
ed in the cultivation of the land.
Upon the advent of chinch bugs, in
about 1856, the method of farming
gradually changed. Aside from the
ravages of the chinch bugs to deter
farmers from sowing wheat is the
added fact that even when these
pests are not numerous not half a
crop can be raised that was pro-

The Emperor of Germany is said
to have been much astonished that
Senator Tillman's anti-negro speech
in the Senate was not more gener-
ally resented. In Germany Tillman
would have been prosecuted for the
enunciation of such statements and
sent to the penitentiary. Emperor
William thinks that if a man is suf-
ficiently important to be elected to
the United States Senate what he
might say should be taken seriously.
But he doesn't know Tillman as
we'll as we do. In fact the Senior
Senator from South Carolina is one
of the most harmless of men. No
body cares anything for what he
says. He has no influence except
what any bufoon might have.
