/ Mr.. John G. Webb, Of Florida,
writes TO the New York Sun quoting
o dictum OF John G. Calhoun, that
"cotton cannot be proiitably raised
where shere ie no FROST This was
announced in one Of his masterly
speeehes in tie United States senate.
Mr. Webb continues: '..Since then
have become Southern farmer and
have learned that Mr.. Calhoun's die
tum is true. The cost Of eliminating
the last years foliage, unaided BY
frost, is too great" This is another
illustration or the profound philoso-

he, must 6rsg see things, and then see

blessing because hardy plant would
not easily be removed from the soil?
IL has beer said that Calhoun was the
best farmer in South Carolina. He
