CORN AND COTTON.

What country on earth has the practi-
cal monopoly of two such crops as Indian
corn and cotton, but the United States :?
The corn crop Of our great corn belt feeds
the world through the millions of cattle
and hogs it produces, while the cotton
crop goes a long way towards clothing
mankind and giving employment to thou
sands of operatives in other lands With
these two crops we hold The whip handle
on all mankind. for they cannot be pro-
duced in other lands as they are here
To the increased production of these crops
it behooves the American farmer to bend
very energy, and in no way can we bet
ter do this than by the wise selection of
seed Then with the opening season let
every farmer who grows cotton or corn
determine to begin the rational selection
of his seed in the field. AS much can
be done in this way as by the improve
ment of the soil itself.

MILK IN THECoCoANUT.

/ told him that the objection he urged
was the milk in the cocoanut. which /
was trying to find cut. That, as farm
ers. we wanted to know the wholesale
price of our fertilizers or materials, in
order to ascertain whether or not local
dealers from whom we are now forced to
buy our guanos are making a reasonable
charge for the same.
Market reports on fertilizers never have
been given to the public. the manufactur-
ers have heretofore been able to keep
farmers in the dark as to the value OF
these materials. / stated to this gentle
man that il the fertilizer manufacturers
would not furnish the information asked,
that / would proceed to get it from other
sources, as we were determined to have
it. | Will wait a few days for the man
ufacturers to decide what they will do,
and if they refuse my request, l will get it
from other sources.
The information can be obtained and it
is of sufficient Importance to secure it,
even at great trouble and expense. The
same information ought to be published
annually in every bulletin sent out by
the commissioners of agriculture in the
different States. There is a great deal to
be uncovered in regard to this fertilizer
business about which our people are igno-
rant. and the sooner the light is turned
on the better
It is always better to. have pleasant bus
mess relations with those with whom we
nave to deal, but farmers must begin to
be more positive about protecting their
own interests. Manufacturers Of CONNER
cial fertilizers, whether they deal direct
ly with farmers or not, have TO depend at
last upon farmers for the maintenance
Of their business, and they should be
perfectly willing to do all in their power
to aid and protect the men who make
their business possible and profitable But
whether they see fit to furnish these mar
ket reports on fertilizer materials or not
we have made up our minds definitely
and positively to have them for pubica-
ton regularly in this paper for the bene
fit of subscribers. and this will be done
There is certainly no reason why farm
ers should not be as fully informed as
to the regular market price of fertilizer
materials as they are of all other stable
supplies which they have to buy. If a
farmer or a number of farmers want to
buy car load of acid or any other kind
OF fertilizer material they ought to be
able to turn to the market reports of
their paper and see in a moment what the
ccst will be without having to depend
upon price fixed to suit the profits of
local dealer. We pay all we make to
other people because we work in the dark
Let us turn on the light.

BURBANK IDEAS
ON CANE GROWING
SUGGESTIONS FROM THE PLANT
WIZARD ON HOW TO IMPROVE
OUR SUGAR CANE CROP.

The Garden Island publishes an in
terview which it attributes to III. S. Of
H." who, it says, has just returned
from California where he had an inter-
view with Luther Burbank, the plant
wizard In this interview H. s." says
that Mr.. Burbank is almost confident
that the leaf hopper will disappear in a
short time in this country. On the sub
ject of cane propagation, H. s." says:
Il would like to submit some of my
ideas in this matter, which are
strengthened by reading Mr.. Burbank's
pamphlet Fundamental Principles of
ant-Breeding."
Cane has been multiplied year by
year through cuttings VIII this meth
cd of propagation cause the tendency
in cane to produce infertile seeds? This
is a question which the scientist should
decide.
1T is very likely that the high state
of cultivation has brought about the,
tendency in cane to produce infertile
or poorly developed seed unable to ger
inmate. Examples of this nature are
found in the rose for instance. The
seeds from the La France, Marechal,
Mel or other highly perfected roses are
generally infertle or of poor vitality in
comparison with the parent-plant or
original wild rose. Another example is
the naval orange, this fruit does not
produce any seeds, but in rare cases,
which seeds are generally infertile and
no nursery man would think of raising
trees from them, except for sports.
There are millions of naval orange
trees in California grated on seedlings
for which purpose the seed is imported
from Tahitian Islands.
ITO be successful with cane seedlings
I believe, the original seed would come
from native cane of good quality and
| if not found in this country would be
imported from it's native land, bred and
blended year by year with cane far in
ferior in sugar contents and purity of
| juices, taking into consideration their
immunity against diseases and para
| sites.
con the other hand raising cane from
seed produced by chance on these ISL
nds without scientific breeding, would
| likely result in a sport, Zone chance in
| a thousand of fairly good quality, but
| hardly over reaching the Lahana or
| New Caledonia in their present stand
ard of perfection under favorable cir
| cumstances."

.OLD MAN VICTIM
. OF BRUTAL ASSAULT
POLICE INVESTIGATING CIRCUM-
STANCES OF MURDERoUs At
TACK ON PAUL RODRIGUES.

High Sheriff Henry is investigating
a very brutal assault committed last
night. Paul Rodrigues an old Portu-
guese, was the victim and robbery is
supposed to have been the cause of
the attack upon him. He now lies at
the Queens Hospital with two frac-
lures of the skull and number of
wounds on the scalp.
Last night at about 8 o'clock
two natives heard cries proceeding
from lot near the head of Aala Lane.
They went to the place and saw Ro-
drigues lying i'm pool of blood. Some
body had attacked and beaten him
with a rock and a piece of iron pipe,
both implements, blood stained, lay
near him. The police were notified
and High Sheriff Henry took personal
direction of the case.
A. p. Rodrigues hackdriver stated
that the injured man was his father.
The elder Rodrigues had sold some cat
tie yesterday afternoon for $3.50 and
was driven home by his son. The
elder Rodrigues left home on Luso
street later in the evening. 1t is
! believed by the police that the man
was way laid and robbed of what
money he had carried with him. Evil
IDENTIFY the elder Rodrigues carried a
considerable sum, for he appear to
have resisted the robbers and been
beaten in a cruel way.
! No arrests had been made up to noon
today. The police have no good clues
upon which to work on the case.
