NITRATE SHIP CUazON
A CONVERTED STEAMER

The Chilean ship Curzon, which ar.
rived of port last night, was towed into
the harbor this morning and locked al
the railroad wharf, where she will dis.
charge her cargo Of nitrates. The Cur.
zon had a pleasant trip OF sixty
days from the nitrate ports, the length
of her voyage being due principally to
frequent Gains. In the neighborhood
OF the Equator the Curzon sighted sew.
eral vessels but none were spoken.
The Curzon has quite a peculiar his.
tory. She was built as a steamship In
Scotland and for some time ran to
South America. She passed into the
possession Of the Spanish Government,
which used her as transport. About
nine years ago an English firm bought
the vessel. As her boilers and engines
were In such bad repair that II would
be necessary to install entirely new
machinery, the firm converted her into
sailing vessel, rigging her as a four.
masted ship and giving her the name
Curzon in honor of the yiceroy of In.
dia. Some time later the Curzon was
bought by large Chilean lumber firm,
which now owns her.
The old Curzon still bears many evil.
dent traces of her former glory when
she was a steamship. Her hull shows
at moment that she is a converted
steamer and her interior fittings are
such as are seldom, II ever. found In
sailing vessels. The captains cabin Is
decorated with paintings and other
elaborate fittings.

a company, after spending one hun
dred thousand collars of capital. has
not been able to secure from the gov.

Until the laws which compel this

year or two in the same condition as
the Chicago capitalist previously re-
ferred 20.

AGRICULTURE IN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
10y wiLMoT vReNpENeeRo)

Apart from cane cultivation the gen.
eral agricultural development of lands
in the Hawaiian Islands is very SLOW.
And why? Several causes may be as,
signed to this condition OF affairs, but
chief among them is the inability to
procure lands promptly and without
going through a mass of red tape pro-
ceedings that the average man shuns.
The Chicago capitalist who failed to
procure title to lands after spending
some $4,000 dollars on them Is only
who have failed to procure land.
There is great cry about keeping
out the spectators in land. II seems
TO me that this cry is unwarranted.
There are inscriptions spectators,
which are undesirable in any form. OF
business, but there are also spectators
who are decided beneht to new

terpiises which bring revenue to a gov

A Short Crop of Tobacco.

Capt. E. M. Pace, of Wilson, the
veteran tobacco grower, is in the city.
"More tobacco has been sold in Will
son this season than last season."
said Capt. Pace yesterday. Last
years receipts were 22,296,O77 pounds
with an average price of $11.0O, while
this year already 21,491,517 pounds
have been bought and tobacco is still
coming in.
Capt. Pace does not think that
more than forty per cent of a crop
will be planted this year, but the only
reason is that the plants are not OBJ
tainable, the weather has prevented
preparing the beds. "No, it is not
the price of tobacco that will de-
crease the acreage" said Capt. Pace;
"the prices are as good nov as any
one could want considering the quail
ity of the product. If the present
offerings we're of the previous years
crop, they would not have brought
as much then as they are doing now"

this will be done by the members

be made for guy wire, for it is very
important that the lines should be
guyed where they turn corne or
cross highways. For a ne~ighborhood
line covering say Is or 20 miles, a
ground circuit would give good SER
vice, provided there are no telegraph,

England to Encourage African Cotton
Growing.

In the English House of Commons
last week John Rutherford, member
for the Darwen division of Ian
cashire, moved that Gin the opinion
OF this house, it is incumbent upon
the government to encourage the
growing of cotton in Africa and else.
where in the British possessions, and
also to cooperate with the CONNER
clal associations working in hat di-
rection. He said there was a vast
field inside the British empire for
growing cotton, and that extern
sive experiments were being made in
the British possessions with every
prospect of uccess An arrange
ment had just been concluded be-
tween the colonial office and the cot
ton growers association, whereby the
latter agreed to provide $150,OO0 for
the development of the industry in
Lagos, southern Nigeria and Sierra
Leon, which dependencies had con-
tributed an additional sum of $685.
500. The government, the secretary
said, entertained the largest hopes
of an immediate supply of cotton
from west Africa, and he thought
that the matter there might now pass
from the experimental to the COM
mercial stage. Several members rep
resenting the cotton industry ex-
pressed satisfaction with the state
ment of Secretary Lyttleton, and Mr..
Rutherford's motion was adopted
without division.

eff people were required to pay
cash in advance for fertilizer there
wouldn't be so much of it used" said
a farmer the other day. That is
probably correct. The fertilizer bills
might be reduced a great deal if
everybody could and would pay cash
in advance. "Spot cash" helps a man
out wonderfully, anyway, when it
comes to making business deals. If
you have the cash you can get the
lowest price always. Competition be-
tween towns and between firms Sc
cures a mighty close price on goods
if you have the cash to pay. Very
few farmers would think about Dor
rowing money and paying 10 per
cent, but they will pay 10 per cent
above the cash price for fertilizers
for seven or eight months time which
amounts to a rate of more than Is
per cent per annum, and think but
little about it. The ready cash
ome in mighty handy and helps a
man to- economic even in buying his
fertilizers.-Marshville Home.

Rural Telephones.

Rural telephones are the farmers
friend. The mechanism is simple, a
child may use one. Expense is nomi-
mall When once introduced into a
community the telephone requires no
further reference. With good roads,
rural free delivery and a reliable
farm journal the telephone does more
to make the farm up-to-date and
profitable than any other agency.
Phone for market quotations, sup
plies, farm hands or a doctor. 1t
will save many trips when the field
requires attention. I
The first step to take toward pro-
noting a farmers telephone line is
an organization of farmers in one
neighborhood. Secure at least Is or
Is charter members. Organize along
business lines, but don't reduce esti-
mates of cost to the minimum. A
conservative figure for best service
on a fifteen phone line is a little less
than So a month. Incorporate under
the law by securing a charter free of
charge from your secretary of state
and select the kind of telephone you
car to use.
Improved systems have double
wires, although a single wire may be
utilized by requiring the ground to
carry the return current. The latter
is not entirely satisfactory because
sound waves from the earth may in
terfere with the voice.
1t requires no expert to build a tel
ephone line. When only two or three
wires are strung it is not necessary
to use cross arms. If there are two
wires the one hat is started at the
top should be kept in that position on
all the poles to the end of the line.
