TIE Huntsville Democrat in commenting on what The News said recently concerning the mo- tive back of the bill to create the office of tax collector in Madison County, says this paper is mis- taken and that the sheriff divided deposits with both banks. This may be, but The News had mighty good authority for what 1t said. However, the Democrat Is on the ground and ought to know what 1t Is talking about.

THE COTTON SITUATION.
A Limited Area Under Good euiture
 Is Again the Proposed Remedy.

While the present condition or the cotton market is serious and discour- aging, perhaps the most serious prop lem is yet in the future the prospects for the next crop. I believe the farm- CTS who have sold part of their last years crop could stand the present prices for the remnant still Ill their hands and would let the same go to aale if assured in regard to the market for the present years prospective crop. What should be done to cause reac- ton and give assurance or paying prices next fall is the vital question now awaiting an answer, says k. J. Bedding in Atlanta Constitution. and his own answer Is as follows
 After considering the various schemes and plans for bringing about reaction that will carry prices to or lo cehts' the willingness of bankers to advance money to farmers or warehouse re ceipts etc. 1t seems obvious that all plans whatever will fail-must ineVlta- bly fail-that do not include settled determination on the part or cott growers to very materially limit the area of the next crop. Such deternlna- tion should take solid. tangible shape and not end in mere talk and viva vore resolutions. The cotton men who ham, dIe the crop, the manufacturers who work it up and all concerned in the trade must have substantial reason to believe that the farmers are going to do what they (some of them) are ready to swear they will do. The danger to be feared case the market shall again be quoted at or 10 cents before planting time needs but to be merely hinted at

Here. to the Average Farm Hen.

Here's to the Average Farm Hen.
 Important factors in the production of superior quality of poultry. breeds and strains and other conditions af- fecting poultry raising have been in- mental farms. and the information gained in connection with testing and matching eggs laid during the cold sea son Is summarized as follows
 The generous and gently stimulating rations given to the fowls kept in cold strength of the germs of the eggs laid by them. as similar rations apparently did in the ease of the hens kept in ar tificially warmed quarters.
 Eggs laid in early December by the hens in artfcially warmed houses germs than did eggs laid by them later in the season.
 Eggs laid by the same hens in early spring showed satisfactory percent age of fertility, but the weakest germs.
 The most striking and gratifying re- buitS Ntit run ihC ioW ID which, like their parent stock, had nev- ed known warm quarters. From fifty five eggs laid by these fowls in early spring-after laying well during the winter = forty eight strong chickens were matched. In contrast with this are seventeen chickens from fifty-two eggs laid by hens kept in warmed but comparatively limited quarters.
 Results were strongly In favor of the average farm conditions

The Per Cent of Reduction.

believe the reduction should be greater than 9 per eent-not less than 33 per cent. Indeed, l am not so sure that one half the area of last year will not yield more money next fall than any larger proportion. At reduction of 9 per cent it would be compara- lively easy thing to reproduce the total output of last year by throwing out the outlying poorer soils and concentrating six i'll. labor and fertilizers on the small CT area The very much more liberal use of fertilizers last year was more largely responsible for the big crop than anything else within the farmers control The good seasons probably had more to do with 1t than fertilizers. and seasons and liberal fertilizing to. gether were far more influential tha the increased area compared with pre- vious years.
 The Strength of the Proposition.
 What the farmer should do is to largely diminish the area-say. 50 per cent on the acreage-plant only good land. fertilize liberally and make a bet ter yield per acre, thus reducing the cost of production. while at the same time reducing the total amount pro- duced and widening the margin be- tween the cost of production and the market price on both sides. The strength of this contention Is largely in the fact that any farmer can adopt the policy. as has already been shown in previous articles. without waiting for the cooperation of any other farm CT. Another strong feature is that such q policy is always in order-at all times and In all places It Is the fun damental principle that underlies seien- tific intensive farming

FROM THIS COUNTY
Democratic Committee to Meet
to Act as to Dele
gates
TO MONMOUTH CONVENTION
Endorsement of McCaskrin's In
dependent Candidacy Not
Favored.

Chairman ]. P Sexton of the demo
cratic county committee has called
a meeting of the committee at the
Commercial house tomorrow to dis
cuss the question of the selection OF
delegates TO the congressional conven-
ton which assemblies at Monmouth
next Thursday. Incidentally Mr.. Sex
ton has during the past few days been
endeavoring TO gain the concensus OF
opinion among democrats on the sub
| ject of a candidate. While locally
speaking as we'll as otherwise through
| out the district, the matter of the en-
dorsement OF George w. McCaskrin' s
| independent candidacy has been men
| toned. the feeling among democrats
not only in Rock Island. but elsewhere
/ in the district seems to oppose such an
attitude either through nomination or
endorsement.
| What has been true heretofore in
other campaigns in which Mr.. McCask-
rim has been more or less of a factor
still exists. The democratic party
owes it TO itself and TO its organization
to steer clear of the independent can
didate. 1t should make its position in
the pending campaign the same that il
always has
| Candidates Mentioned.
| Candidates for the nomination are
being discussed throughout the district,
and yet the general disposition seems
TO be to permit Rock Island county to
shape the conventions attitude should
il SO desire. The Argus has already
spoken of the names of democrats con-
sidered in connection with the nomina-
ton should the choice and the DISPOSE
ton be left to the delegates from this
county. Hon. E. w. Hurst has been
| frequently discussed, but has always
| insisted that he is not a candidate.
