a new and interesting method
of cutting trees was experimental
upon recently in the forests of
France, which may prove to be of
great commercial value.
A platinum wire Is charged
with a heavy current of electricity

like saw. The process takes
about one-eight the time of the
ordinary saw, no sawdust Is pro
duced and the carbonizatlon caus.
ed by the heated wire acts as a

the timber.

HeSter'S Annual Cotton
Report.
While the Crop of 1904 Was
TIC, 1S5 Bales Less Than Pre-.
ccding Years it Brought
$13s, 100000 More in
Money.

New Orleans, Sept. 6.-Secre-
Iary Hester's annual report was
issued in full today. He puts the
cotton crop of 1904 at 1O,O11,-
374 bales, decrease of TIC, 1S5
Hnder that of l902-O3. He says
that compared with last year in
round figures, Texas, including
Indian Territory, has increased
45, 600 bales. The group known
as other Gulf States, consisting of
Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi,
Tennessee, Oklahoma, Utah and
Kansas has lost 100000 and the
groug of Atlantic States, Alabama,
Georgia, Florida, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Kentucky and
Virginia has fallen off $4,000
Mr.. Hester'D report on the cot
ton crop of the different States is
given as follows IN thousands of
bales:
Alabama 1000 against 1850
last year.
Arkansas 7O5 against 1000.
Georgia 1925 against 1,47O.
Florida 55 against 55.
Louisiana S24 against S24.
Mississippi !, 1887 against 1, ,4o4.
North Carolina 563 against SIS.
South Carolina s25 against $50.
Tennessee. ETC., 451 against 500.
Texas and Indian Teri itory o.
s76 against 1881.
Tota, crop 1O,O11 against 1O,-
72S.
He makes the actual production
Of Indian Territory 26G, 555 bales
against $685. 251 last year, of Ok
lahoma 177,O57 against $4,000
last year and of Missouri 49,367
against 35,9o6 la,t year, the two
last being included under the head
of Tennessee, etc.
He put the average commercial
value of the crop at SOL. 3S against
$44.52 las: year and the total value
of the crop at S617, sol, 54s against
$3.50, 77O,2s2 last year.
In reference to the total value
Mr.. Hester says that while the
crop Is smaller by seven hundred
and odd thousand bnles less than
last year it is less by 100000
bales than the crop of 1S9S-99,
which was the largest over market
ed, it has brought better return
in money values than any ever
produced in the south.
Referring to the Increase in val
ues over last year he gives details
as to prices, showing that while
the lowest range of last season was
from September to January, in>
elusive, this year the highest range
Of values was during the period of
marketing the bulk of tie crop
and TIE result was that farmers
obtained more of the advantage of
the rise instead of its coming as
usual after the cotton had passed
out of their hands. In other wol DIS
there we're marketed up to January
81 of this year in round figures
SOLO, 900 which sold for $446,-
100000 while up to the same
period last season the amount
marketed was 1885 900, which
brought 1886, ,665, 900, difference
of only $4,000 bales and an in.
crease In the amount received of
over $13s, 900, 900.
Further referring to crop val
ues Mr.. Hester says that when it
is considered that the combined
values of the past three crops re-
suited IN payment to farmers,
