Timely Hints on Giving,

We should not give people things
they don't want.
We should avoid giving anybody
the mumps or the chickenpox if
we can help it.
Do not give a friend the cold
shoulder without backed beans and
hot coffee to go with it.
A man should not give(a lady a
kiss unless he thinks she would en-
JOY it, except in the Case of his
wife and his mother-ip Flaw.
When you give castor oil to a
bowling infant give it for its in
trinsic worth and not merely as an
evidence of your regard.

The Bureau of Statistics Places a
Low Estimate on the Pres
ent Cotton Crop.

Preliminary returns to the Chief
of the Bureau of Statistics of the
Department of Agriculture at
Washington indicate that the &C
tual growth of cotton in the United
States in the year 1903 will amount
to 1862, 039 bales, of an average
net weight of 1908 pounds.
The area picked, or to be pick
ed, is estimated at %, 104, $50 acres,
a reduction of S92, 495 acres. or
800 per cent from the acreage
planted.
The total production of lint cot
ton is estimated at 4,8S9, 796,267
pounds, an average of IA. 5 pounds
per acre. The estimated produc-
ton by States in pounds of lint
cotton per acre is as follows: Vir-
ginia, $50; North Carolina, 210;
South Carolina, IT'S; Georgia, 15S;
Florida, 142; Alabama, 161; Mis-
sissippi, Oil; louisiana, 223; Tex
as, 143; Arkansas, 1876; Tennessee,
200; Missouri, 232; Oklahoma, 223;
Indian Territory, 231.
In addition to the reports of It's
regular correspondents, the Bu-
reau of Statistics has had the BEN
eft of an investigation of the eff
feet OF the boil weevil upon the
cotton crop of Texas for 1903,
conducted under the direction of
the Chief of the Division of En-
tomology. The results of this in
vcstigating have been given due
weight in the present report, and
the details will be published later
by the Division of Entomology.
Through the courtesy of the Of
fciaIs of the Census Office the de-
partment has also had access to
the estimates made by the census
agents as to the amount of cotton
remaining unginned. These esti-
mates were turned over to the de-
partment too late, however, to re-
ceive full consideration, and they
were, therefore, not used in max
ing the present estimate.

Cotton spinners Plan curtailment.

An Associated Press dispatch
from Boston, Mass, under date of
December 9th says:
That widespread curtailment
Of production by cotton mills in
the United States will be found
necessary during the next few
months, on account of the great
cost of the raw material, is the
opinion of leading mill men in this
city, from which the policy of
many cotton mills in the North is
directed.
THE market for finished mate
rial has been unsatisfactory for
months, and prices have not risen
correspondingly with those of cot
ton. The mills in New England
employ fully IT'S, 900 hands, 65,-
90 of whom have had their wages
reduced 10 per cent this fall, and
$4,000 additional will be cut with
in the next two weeks.
A matter of great interest in
New England is the project now
on foot in the Southern States to
bring about a general curtailment.
A meeting of Southern manufac-
turers has been called for next
Tuesday, and if policy of wide
spread curtailment is adopted it
will have much influence on the
future action in large New Eng
land mill centers.
Most manufacturers have
agreed that the cotton situation is
the most critical for twenty-five
years.

Texas Farmers Forming Unions.

texas Farmers Forming Unions.
The farmers of Texas are being
unionized at rapid rate. There
are today some 5000 unions in
Texas, with a total membership of
10000 or more, and the organiza-
ton is spreading like wildfre. 1t
began at Emory, Rains county,
about ten months ago, under the
name Of the Farmers Education
al and Cooperative Union of
America, and is now established
IN nearly every populous county
IN the state. About the middle of
February next meeting will be
held for completing state organ
ization, and it is believed that the
movement will spread. Former
Governor Hogs has recently been
advising the farmers to organize.
OUT III seems That the Rams county
farmers anticipated him by sever
al months, and during the last few
weeks the order has grown amaz-
ingly. The purposes of the union
are to buy and sell in bulk, to ed
ucate along agricultural lines and
to eschew politics, but to, never
theless, discuss political economy.
Several north Texas lodges during
the past few days have made ex-
tensive purchases of supplies in
carload lots and are greatly en-
couraged by these savings.
