COTTON PLANTERS LABOR PROBLEM.

The cotton producing states are fac
Ing labor problem in the solution Of
which the cotton consumer is quite as
much interested as the cotton grower.
The statement Is made that the pro-
Auction Of cotton On the south has
reached its limit, not because all the
cotton producing lands are under TIL
lage, but thru shortage of the labor
necessary to gather the crop. The OPP
poptunitdes for greater cotton produc-
tion In the south have been crippled
and are now, 1t Ia confidently stated.
ct standstdM because the negroes will
not work The southern commission
ers Of labor have suggested that an
effort be made to reduce the annual
crop to 100000 bales. Others with
wider views are urging, that white inn
migration from the north be encour-
aged. The peculiar condition exists
that with the world demand for it's
product growing stronger year by
year the greatest cotton producing Sec
ton in the world Is seriously consid-
ering the advisabiEty Of limiting its
product.
The suggestion OF the southern la
Dor commissioners If 1t could be car
ried out would mean disaster to the
south by stimulating its cotton pro-
Gucdng competitors to greater activity.
Even now European countries are ex-
pending large sums In the endeavor
70 plant the cotton industry in their
colonies. The cotton states must ex-
paM and progress or be last in the
march of development. The plan sug-
zested by it's labor commissioners is
typical Of the narrow view OF the south
In matters Of commercial and political
interest.
The scarcity Of labor in the south
appears to lie In the abundance OF
those who should but will not work
What these states are to gain by Inn
porting white labor while being per-
force obliged to support enough blacks
to raise and care for twice as much
cotton as is now raised in the south
Is not easily to be apprehended. What
the northern white laborer is to gain
by placing himself in competition with
negro labor is even less apparent. He
can remain in the north and be q white
man employed at white mans wages.
In the north. If he goes south to
compete with negroes he will be look
ed upon as a white niger" If he
is sensible he won't go south. The
white labor of the north and the
negro labor Of the south will not
amalgamate.
The cotton states must use the
means at hand. They must develop
their inexhaustible mine of black la
Dor, and the best way, about 1t is to
unmake the southern sentiment that
hard hand labor is degrading. The
southern negro when he refuses to
work is not only following a very nat
ural, human inclination, but is aptng
the southern white man in sentiment
and action. Northern negroes work.
IA Chicago commissioner told the t.
r. on occasion that negroes received
less aid from Cook county than any
other race or nationality. The south is
given to whining after shabby gem
tee1 fashion. Let it brace up and lead
the illimitable force Of its black labor
afleld.

1t is the farmer who farms a small
farm we'll who makes the largest profit
on the investment. An eighty acre farm
well cultivated is far more valuable to
a man than a quarter section poorly
cultivated. The taxes on the small
farm are not SO heavy as on the large
farm, the cost of running the same is
not as great, and by thorough work,
more produce will gained from an
acre on which only half as much
work has been. Flowing six inches
deep is worth twice as much to farm
err as blowing three inches deep, and
few loads of manure well scattered
over an acre of ground is worth more
than where poorly scattered over two
acres.

GROWTH OF COUNTRY TOWNS.

The country towns Of Iowa no longer
boast of growth and increase Of popu-

have been developed to high degree,
and there is no longer additional sup
port to be derived from the farming
community. The towns that are de-
pendent upon the surrounding country
for support have all reached the point
of a standstill in population. Nothing
short of factories and enterprise that

A SyphOn system for the Slaughter
Prime Hook Canal Suggested.

Mr.. EDITOR The marsh lands of Slaugh-
ter and Prime Hook Necks that propositions
1 have been made to have drained by means Of
a canal, are Offar more Importance to this
| part OF Delaware than most people suppose,
and the residents ofthis part of Sussex county
are deeply Interested in the proposition 10
accomplish the work by means OF canal
Some believe that the plan will accomplish
all that is claimed for it, while others are
doubtful of the result.
! While I am not an authority on the subject
| l have some personal knowledge of the con-
'itiOns; and. If 1 am permitted to express
myself, suggest the fact for consideration,
4 that the water on the marshes in,question
come chiefly from the inland and enters
through the two creeks az right angles at
about midway OF the line Of the canal. Also,
that the water in the creeks bas a much
greatercall, and consequently a greater fall
and consequently Il greater velocity in equal
distances, before, than after entering the
Harsh and of course Il Will flowintO the basin
much faster than it will ran out, thus caus-
ing the wafer in the marsh to rise to a GER
tain elevation before IL can attain velocity
enough to escape to the sea.
Ike remedy tor this would be, to shorten
the distance the creek waterlhEs to flow after
entering the marsh; that is Osay, instead Of
allowing the water 10 take the proposed
course of four miles or more behind the sea
banks before reachtng its outlet, it should be
ISnveyed directly ACROSS the marsh. "A distance
Of only three-quarbers Of . mile, and dis
charged through, or over the bank. This
could be accomplished by erecting three, or
possibly fOHr syphOns atslitable distances
along the shore, opposite the points where
the creeks enter the marsh. which is about
One-half the way of the canal proposed.
The advantage of using syphOns would be
that no salt water could enter the marsh at
high tide. The syphons would run cOntin-
ualy after starting, and therefore would NOT
need further attention. Should the number
started be found insufficient, others could be
added as required
Syphonage wOud drain the water from the
center basin, while the present bitches wouId
be sufficient to drain the,ends, as the only ad-
vantage of their enlargement would be to
allow the water from the centre to escape. |
The marshes To-Day are really nothing more |
than a vast ditch, with nothing to distract
the dow, and the making OF an excavation /
would not in anyway accelerate It, as the dis 1
tance from the centre II too great -four mixes .
to allow the water to attain rapidity enough .
to escape before the water rom the inland .
flows down upon 1t, thus tending to make a
perfect incline from the headwaters Of the
creeks to the sea. The water in the marsh
would only decrease when the usual amount
ceases to fiOw from the inland; hence, the
only way to secure drainage, is to conduct
the waters OF the creeks Immediately after
they enter the marsh to the sea, which could
be aOne in the manner desert Ded as above.
Yours for draining the lands quickly and
well, j. b.

Berry GrOwine SelbyvilIe's Success.

There is no place in Delaware where
fruit growing and market gardening
have advanced with more rapid strides
than at Selbyville. a small town in the
southern part of Sussex county, on a
branch of the Delaware railroad. I'm
der date of February l, 1904, J. Frank
Dukes writes from that place to the
State Board of Agriculture, as follows:
There were sold at selbyville, for cash at the
station, about 2l7 carloads of strawberries during
the season of 1903, and the amount shipped on
consignment would make the total between 22O
and DIG carloads The cash received for those
sold at the station was about SlOS 900 to $4,000
an average offs to cents per quart. A few lots
sold as high as 25 cents per quart, and sold one
picking of the Candy variety for sS.0l per 30
quart crate. few berries were brought in in
very bad order and were refused by the buyers,
but all desirable stock was taken readily We
suffered to some extent from the lack OF rclriger-
ator ears having more berries, at times, than re-
frigeator cars to hold them, and some had to
be shipped in market cars, which resulted in
heavy loss. If the State Board of Agriculture
can take this matter up with the refrigerator car
people and secure full supply for u.s. it will be a
great help. We expect to double cur shipments
this year over those OF 1908 The crate agents re-
port having already sold 100000 - quart crates
and many growers have not yet bought This
will mean at least $50 loads for the crates already
sold 80 that am confident we shall ship altogether
between 400 and 500 carloads, and from 10 to so
cars per day at the height of the season.
our white potato crop last year was q, 900 bar
rels and we expect some increase this season.
Phosphate agents report sales of about 25 car
loads OF high grade phosphate at this station up
to this time. We are also producing more or less
peaches, pears, apples onions, asparagus and
sweet potatoes.
Last year a tomato cannery was established
here and our farmers found this vegetable pay
ing crop which helped TO swell their bank ac-
count. The last four or five years have brought
many changes; land has doubled and trebed in
price farmers have paid all their debts and nearly
all ol them have good bank accounts. This result
is due chiefly to strawberries and potatoes and
with these and other crops that are coming in,
We expect our prosperity to continues and Increase
We have been bothered little Tor help but as
our berries are largely of Parsons Beauty and
Candy varieties, which give large berries that
yield sometimes as high as 10000 to l2OOO quarts
per acre, good berry pickers earn as much as 81 to
50 per day; and this fact doubtless will attract
plenty of pickcrS.
