A REMARKABLE EXPERIMENT.

The success in the cultivation OF
SDmatra tobacco under tents is one OF
the extraordinary events in the agricul-
fashioned farmer prostrates himself in
the dust before the scientific farmer.
AS the results OF the brain work of men
in the Federal Agricultural Depart
ment, Sumatra tobacco wrappers, equal
and even superior to the imported ar
ticIe. are now sold in the market. so as
to realize in some cases a net profit
OF $1,022.52 per acre. The industry is
hardly three years old. In old CRANKY,
Conn, there are now 400 acres of land,
en-. and ribbed which exclude high
winds. hail, insects and excessive heat.
The crops have been raised under the
special direction of the experts Of the
Agricultural Department. The price of
the tobacco. which is for the &C mmon
product, less than fifty cents a bound,
has risen to SLIGO. and is stiIl rising.
The first experiments failed for lack
OF suitable cloth for covering the tents.
But ingenuity supplied the need. and
the proper cloth was secured. The
value of the imported Sumatra is. an
nually. about $4,000 600
The new industry is fiat triumph of
the trained brain. 1t was not stumbled
upon, but carefully thought out. There
was no constant succession, for years,
of stupid and costly experiments, no
haphazard trials of new methods: no
tedious cropping in the dark by the
rule Of thumb" men. but there was
well ordered and direct brain work.
The results confirm the belief that |
agriculture and horticulture will in |
time cease to be the least remunera- |
tive OF occupations, but will furnish
such fair profits that the populations
of the cities will find their way to the
rural districts, and take up wholesome
Out of this will come a
change in our methods of living, which
is sorely needed.
Whether valuable kinds of tobacco
can be produced in these Islands has
not been tried. If one of the experts
Of the department will examine our
soil and make an estimate of its quail
ty, and his report should be favorable.
another industry may be added to orr
present scanty list. Until such exam
nation is made, we cannot count on
his industry. The opinions of men on
he subject, who are making few
iaphazard experiments, are of little
moment.

BONDS TO BUILD CANAL
Plan 10 to Make Sure That the Cur.
rency Situation Will Not 30
Injured.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-To fortify national
banks against failure in the event of
n. recession of the prosperity wave re-
publican leaders in have de-
viscd a scheme in the issuance of bonds
for the construction of the Panama
canal. Including, Of our payments
to the canal company and to he Pam
anna republic. 1t Is felt to be a wise
move not to draw on the treasury
balance any more han Is absolutely
necessary. The canal Is for posterity.
of course, and 1t is felt to be only just
that the burden should be distributed
through many years.
Although it han been generally under
stood that there would be no excessive
financial bill passed at this session OF
congress for political reasons, There
nevertheless Is a strong desire to make
certain alterations In the existing law
governing the conduct OF national
banks as q means of relief from threat
ened conditions. Some Of the repub-
lican leaders fear II the wave of pros
perity begins to recede even in a slight
degree It might have Il disastrous effect
upon the national presidential election.
unless the effect a be anticipated.
Along with the general plan for re-
lief Senator Fairbanks Of indiana has
introduced a bill to permit nntional
banks to deposit any bonds to be IS
sued on account OF the canal as u basis
FOR circulation, the tax on circulation
being at the preferred rate OF half Y
cent q year the same a. on the new =
per cent. loan.
1t is leiieved that practically all
/ bonds to be issued on account Of the
| canal would be seized upon eagerly By
/ the banks so the effect would be two
| fold. The canal securities could bs
