Special to Greenville News.


Columbia, May eff Commis-
sioner of Immigration Watson
carries out his plan successfully
and secures tho proper CO. opera
ton, there will in short time be
located four colonies in this State.
Two of these will be Scandinavian
which according to all reports, are
exceedingly thrifty. One will
probably he German and the
other will probably be English,
the last being a recent idea and of
considerable interest. Just now
there is trouble in the cotton mills
of the Lancashire section of Eng
land, caused by the shortage in
cotton and report received from
there states that the people are
leaving by the hundreds, the last
steamer bringing over 1900. Be-
fore this the annual immigration
from England did not amount to
more than $500 and about 5000
from Scotland. The bulk of
these went to Rhode Island, Mas
sachusetts, New Hampshire and
Maine and the South's share
amounted to nothing.
The idea is to secure a large
number of these Engllshmen TOR
work in The Southern cotton mills
and let the small farmer go back
to the farms.

; coming more unreliable and iuef
ficient every year. In that con
nectiOn it may be we'll to bear IN
mind that thousands of white
farmers have left the fields and
moved to the factory villages. In
this class of our farmers are
(many of them) those who made
the largest crops per acre.
End. Because no device has yet
been discovered, and for that
matter | don't believe ever will
be, to take the place of human
fl; gers for picking cotton. 1t is
we'll known that in the Mississip-
pl, Arkansas, Red River deltas
and in Texas it is not uncommon
for the planters to make more
cotton than they can have picked
out. So there is another limita-
tion on the size of the crop.
3rd. Because | don't believe
any man can accurately estimate
the size of the crop until after the
autumnal equinoctial storms, when
the crop msy he said so be in its
most critical stage. Besides this
an early or late frost effects the
yield.
If these suggestions have any
force, / do not see how under the
most favorable circumstances the
crop can exceed 1O,000,O 900 or at
the most II, 900, 200 bales. If it
does not exceed the latter, this
years crop ought to sell at least
at from 10 to II cents q pound,
possibly more.
Now if we could acquire pru-
dence enough to diversity our
crops, make cGough to eat at
home and thus get financially
strong enough to hold our cotton,
we could compel the buyers to pay
fair, remunerative price for it,
and still leave fair margin of
profit for the manufacturers. In
ten years we would be the richest
agricultural people in the world.
i all not unmindful OF the fact
that England, France, Germany,
Spain and Russia arc scurrying all
over the world to fad place
whore they can produce cotton in
competition with III. AS yet they
have not found that place to any
alarming extent. And if they
should discover it, it will require
years for development.
The demand of raw cotton is ia.
creasing year by year, not only
to be manufactured into cloth, but
for various other purposes such as
making bed comforts, quilts, pad-
ding for dresses, for use in naval
and military and other hospitals,
for making gun cotton, etc., etc.
| repeat, if we have foresight and
prudence enough to make the
greater part of our family sup.
plies at home and not walk into
the trap laid for us every fall by
rushing our crops into market toe
fast we can command a fair price
for it. Will we do it? On thai
subject l am very skeptical. The
spectators have no terrors fol
me, if my crop belongs to me-
The "bull" spectators are, as 1
rule, on our side. 1t is the 'bears
and the manufacturers whom
fear. M. G.. Butler.

To Protect Cotton Grower.

of the Disparity Between the
Prices of Manufactured
and Staple Cotton.
TO the Editor of The State /:

that those OF us engaged In the
production of raw cotton should
come to some understanding among
ourselves-if such thing Is pos
sible-and with those who buy
the raw material either for spccu
latlng purposes or manufacture.
predict that from now on there
will be combined effort between
the "bear" spectators and man.
ufacturers to depress the price of
cotton. 1t is natural they should
combine on common lines for Il
common perp ose.
Every cotton planter rejoices to
see the mills prosper, especially
those nearest our fields. In pro
portion rs they multiply and pros
per the demand for raw cotton IN
creases, to say nothing of the in. ..
creased disbursement and circula-
ton of money IN their respective
communities, but, for one, | am
not willing that the prosperity Of
the cotton mills shall be accom-
plished at the expense of the cot.
ton producer.
In my judgment the manufsc-
turers in this country and in Eu-
rope have not paid a fair price for
cotton for years, except perhaps
for last years crop. Let me illus
trate by very homely, but it
seems to me satisfactory, expe-
rience. If l am in error | trust
some one better informed will
correct me.
Early last fall, and before the
price began to advance very ma
terially, l chanccd to be at coun-

many yards it would take to make

reported ''Just seven yards. - -
Seven times five make thirty five,
The price of that pound of manu-
factured cotton was 35 cents. -
Estimate the price of raw cotton
at 8 cents per pound; that must
have been about the price paid for
it by the manufacturer. Deduct
8 cents from 35 cents and we have
81 cents. Deducl from this the
cost of manufacture, the profits
to the jobber and retail merchant

it be 20 cents a pound ? If not, |

Why Boys Leave the Farm

Henry Wallace writes in Wall
aces Farmer "This is a question
OF much interest, not merely to the
farmer, but to the general public as
we'll. Some boys ought to leave
the farm because they were never
intended to be farmers, either thro'
lack OF energy and initiative or be-
cause their tastes run SO strongly in
other directions that they would be
insists all their lives if they remain
ed on the farm. Farming requires
a much higher degree of intelligence
now than it did ten years ago; it
will require much higher degree
ten years hence than it does now.
1t is no longer a matter of main
strength and awkwardness, but
profession requiring skilled labor,
and skilled labor always involves
higher intelligence.
1t would be a misfortune, furth-
ermore, if all the boys stayed on the
farm-a misfortune to both the cit
les and the farmers. The rural dis
tricts would soon be overpopulated,
while the urban, or city, districts
would decline in energy and power
for lack of being constantly supple
mented by the fresh blood from the
farms. The cities wear out men as
they do horses. The men who go
to the front in cities, in a majority
OF cases, come from the farm, and
it will be so to the end of time.
"The writer advises the boy who
is really fit for it and is willing to
put brains into his work land none
else are ft), to stay on the farm.
Apparently the work is drudgery,
but there is way of Transforming
drudgery-taking off the curse, SO
to speak; that is, by putting brains
into it. Nothing that we really
like ever becomes drudgery Drudg-
cry is the doing of things we dom
like, and doing them in the spirit of

To Prevent Blackleg.

DR.. Nelson, the Washington State
Veterinarian, says he has saved
$4,000 worth of cattle from the
rayages of the blackleg during the
wear on an expenditure OF ST.
In all parts Of the state where there
are cattle, blackleg exists. The
government furnishes vaccine. We
wonder why the government does
not try the preventative that we have
several times published. When
tried in Europe or America no case
of blackleg occurs. The treatment
consists of splitting the skin in the
parting of each foot of the calf, TAX
ing a small hook and with it catch
ing the vein found in the parting,
then taking a sharp knife and cut
ting off the vein below the hook,
thus cutting out half an inch of the
vain. Apply a little tar to the slit
and the work is done. The seat of
the disease seems to be in that par
ticular vein, all the teaching of the
experts to the contrary, notwith-
standing. The most economical
time to do this work is at the time
of the roundup, when the calf is
roped and thrown for the purpose of
branding it.-Nortnwest Farm and

Wheat Raising North of so Degrees

Instructions have been given from
the Office of the Hudson Bay COM
pany at Winnipeg for the building
of a -four mill near the mouth of
the Peace river, where its waters
unite with those of Lake Athabas-
ca. Hudson Bay company posts
have been raising little wheat for
some years, not only in this region,
but also further north at Fort Reso-
luton, on the shores of the Great
Slave lake.
1t is not unusual nowadays to
hear Of wheat raising in the far
north, especially in Siberia. A few
weeks ago N. L. Skalosubof, adj
dressing an agricultural convention
at St. Petersburg, cited many facts
to disprove the popular idea that
wheat will not ripen north of 90 de-
grees north latitude.
A clergyman at Wugansk, for ex-
ample, in 81 degrees north latitude,
is building mill propelled by wind
power to turn his spring wheat into
flour. At Nassau, on the Pelym
river, in the same latitude, farmer
has extended his area under tillage,
and now has surplus of wheat to
SELL The speaker mentioned many
other examples.
The fact that wheat is now grown
successfully in the Peace river re-
glon, in the central part of this con-
tlnent, between 90 and 81 degrees
north latitude, is chiefly due to the
Chinook winds which blow north
ward to the east of the Canadian
Rockies. They temper the climate
Oh the Peace river country in a re-
markable manner, so that the
spring opens as early on the upper
Pehce river in latitude Sc degrees,
as at Montreal, and the seeding
time is actually earlier.
The influence of these remarkable
winds is felt as far east as Regina
In Assinaboia, and extends far t.
the northwest, east Of the mount
ans through Is degrees of latitude
Many thousands of square mile
along the Peace river valley in Ath
oasca are very fertile, growing lux
urlous grass and excellent wheat
But no settlers as let are found
tnat far northern >.gion; and tt
only purpose of e Hudson b
company IS to turn the local whea
INTO hour for its agents scattered
through that country and thus save
Tue nigh cost of importing flour.
Even if that country should be
developed, its wheat is more likely
