MORLEY SENT TO INDIA.

The Conservative morning papers are
compelled to admit that Sir Henry Camp
bell Bannerman has succeeded In forming
much stronger administration than had
been thought possible.
The Liberal papers are fun or enthu-
siasm and OF cordial congratulations to
the premier on having not only ably unit
ed all sections OF his party in the minis-
try. but on having displayed great dis
elimination In giving the individual mem
bers congenial posts.

where he will have little influence on in

Chinese Cotton.

What of the, "yellow peril" in it's
relation to cotton growing and it's
competing with our Southern plant
ers The prospect Of China being
thrown open to the worlds commerce
after the conclusion of the Russo
japanese war. is drawing more at
tention to cotton production in the
celestial empire. Consular reports
say that possibilities for cotton
growing in China are enormous. 1t
can be produced in nearly half of the
territory comprised by that country
fully equal to if not greater than
the total area of our Southern
States. So far the cotton producing
industry of China has been of To-
cal character; that is, it is grown,
gathered, ginned, spun, dyed, woven
and worn by the people. Thus the
crop output from year to year gets
into no trade reports, and does not
figure in public statistics. General
ly speaking, Chinese cotton is of low
grade, and it is claimed will likely
be unsuitable for frst-class goods,
even under the most intelligent
methods of manufacture. The plants
are stunted in appearance, seem to
lack vigor and the bolls are small
with uneven and short fbers. In
China cotton is not a regular crop.
As long as the natives can secure
cotton goods abroad for compare
lively cheap prices, they will devote
their land to raising food, but high
priced cotton results in the industry
being stimulated in China.-Ameri-
can Agriculturist.

Farming in CASTOR.

With her favored soils and climate
and numerous nearby markets, there
is no reason why CASTOR should not
be one of the most profitable farm
ing communities in the South. Here
in a space about twenty miles square
are upland, low-lands, meadows,
river bottoms, all under a favorable
climate and we'll adapted to fruits,
vegetables, grains, cotton, stock.
poultry and dairying. There are also
forests of oak and fields of pine still
uncleared. With a population of 3O,-
900 people, there are, according to
the figures given in our agricultural
topics, less than 10000 acres in cul-
tivation. with an uncultivated acre
age more than twice as great left un-
touched.
Intersected east and west and on
the two northern corners by railroads,
the county hasn't a doorstep that is
not within seven or eight miles OF
some one of these great highways of
commerce. This fact not only gives
the farmer access to distant markets,
but brings the markets to his very
gates. The superior railroad facili-
ties have determined the location OF
mills and factories. and these fur
nish $4,000 manufacturing and mer-
camille population for the $1,000 far
ming population to feed. With the
extension of macadam roads the farm
values will be still further enhanced,
and with all these advantages com
bined, the CASTOR County farmer
should soon be able to recognize IN
prosperity the benign face of IA
miliar friend.-Gastonia Gazette.

weak solution of the Paris green
when plants are beginning to head
without the slightest danger. The
cultivation should be frequent and
thorough, and continue until plants
are heading nicely.
Before the first hard freeze the
cabbage should be protected. A good
plan is to bend the plant over to the
north flat on the ground, and cover
with straw and dirt.
We have been practicing the above
plan for number of years. and have
had an abundance of sweet, crisp
cabbage from November to March.
These are much better than the ones
bought from stores.

Of such are said to be in preparation,
and that will affect great changes in
the policy and development Of the
state.
It is well known that the State

The Willamette Valley Development
League has committees still at work
preparing bills on these same lines
that are reliable to be reported for
action at any time.
The prohibitionists are said to have
some local charter amendments to give
them greater power over cities than
they now have, in preparation to be
submitted.
The Socialists are said to be prepar-
ing a bill TO cut the legal rate of inter
est from six and ten per cent to four
