 Overproduction

ole and W.ll-filled corn cribs ana smokehouses from North Carolina to the Rio Grande river. The asflcu.- tural. commercial, industrial and financial interests of the south are today enjoying an era of prosperity far in excess of any period experl- cnced within the past half century. To maintain our present position, ana forge ahead in the achievement of greater successes, ti is imperat. ve that no serouS mistakes be made by the planters who are now making their arrangements for the spring planting of 1906. Let every man pause and calmly consider his future even while enjoying the flush of a victory which has been the most marvellous ever won in modern times.
 Present Acreage Sufficient.
 The present estimated twenty-sev en million acres planted in cotton Is sufficient under normal climatic con. di-tions to produce enough cotton to meet the demands of spnners for the American staple. Any material 1n- crease in the cotton acreage for l9ot will tend to stagnate the cotton mar ket and depress prices below their legitimate prices for our great sta laws of supply and demand is the on ly true medium of regulating fair and legitimate prices for ohr great sta pie product. The Southern Cotton association through all it's sources Of strength and cooperative mediums of disseminating information to it's loyal and patriotic supporters, with an eye single to the future prosperity of all cotton growers and business in- terests of the south, earnestly makes this appeal for broadening the splen- did advantages that are to be ga ned by diversified agriculture on southern farms. Plant an abundance of smal! grain, corn and side crops. Raise more hay, cattle and hogs.
 Peace and Plenty.

The Southern Cotton association VII not ask the farmers of the south to reduce the cotton acreage for l9ot less than that planted In 1905. The association does ask and insist With all the force at it's command that the acreage planted in cotton throughout the belt in 1905 be not increased dur ing the planting season of 1906. Let the watchword of every farmer be di- versification, and through that agen- cy produce an abundance of food sup plies to maintain each farm. Perma- nent independence. thrift and prosper ity can only be enjoyed by southern cotton growers through the adoption and maintenance of system which will make each farm self-sustaining. It is the only medium through which the which has so long held our people in bondage, can be effectively broken
 
 the only medium through which the great masses of cotton producers can cotton in the markets of the country and force consumers and buyers to pay them fair and just prices for the staple. Any system which forces the producer to market his crops rapidly in order to meet maturing obligations to pay for supplies that could be more cheaply raised at home, will ever tend to make a slave of the grower, mini-I mixing the rights of manhood which every southern cotton raiser should enjoy to the fullest extent
 Over-Production Serious Menace.
 In the spring of 1905 a crisis seri- ous and potential faced the cotton growers of the south by reason of reproduction of cotton in 1904 The ! Southern Cotton association at that time WaSed an effective campaign for a reduction in the cotton area to be planted in 1905. The advice of the association was Loyalty supported by cotton growers throughout the en- tire cotton belt and q reduction of fully five millions of acres was strick- en from the cotton area for 1905 and planted in other crops The result of this display of good judgment on the part of the farmers is today seen in bringing the production of cotton within the legitimate demands for consumption, good prices for the sta

During the summer months many

their vacations from their own schools
to visit the Iowa state college and take
up some special line. Last summer
Prof. G. w. Davis OF the North Geor-
gia Agricultural college came here to

ment. and was so we'll pleased that
he returned this summer on a six

stated that after q careful investiga-

and also Wisconin agricultural col

the best school. and SO came here for
his degree. He Is at the head Of the
department OF agriculture at his home
school in Georgia, and since his work
here last summer he has started lab.
oratory In soils and agronomy which
he hopes to enlarge the coming year.
Prof. Davis states that the work In
agronomy is hardly begun in the
south. and that many Of the universi-
ties are entirely without It. His school
is one of the first to take it up, and
that was largely through his efforts
after becoming convinced OF It's value
here last summer. Els leave OF alb
sence allows him to remain here until
the frst Of December, during which
time he hopes to complete his course.

PRODUCES A NEW FLOWER.
The Head Gardener at Chicago Park
Crosses Ginerarias Experiment
Results in Larger Blooms.

Chicago.-By crossing the stellata
and hybrida varieties of cineraria.
Alois Frey, head gardener at Lincoln
park, has succeeded in producing an
entirely new variety Of the beautiful
flower which combines the large plant
of the one with the large bloom Of the
other.
Scores of the new flowers are now on
exhibition in the Lincoln park con,
servatory and more will be placed
there soon.
The remarkable feature Of the pro-
duction of the new flowers is that they
were produced within year after the
varieties were crossed. So encour.
aged is Mr.. Frey by the success of his
experiment with the cineraria that he
will continue the crossing. OF flowers,
hoping next year to produce varieties
that far surpass in beauty and grace
the wonderful results Of his first ex-
pertinent.
The cineraria stellata is large
plant which bears small flower, less
than an, inch. in. diameter. The cine.
raria hybrfda, on the other hand, is;
a small plant which bears a large
flower about an inch and half IN di-
ameter. *
A year ago Mr.. Frey, who does great
deal Of work similar to that Of Luther
Burbank, the celebrated florist Of
California, who has produced hun
dreds of new varieties, concluded that
by crossing the two varieties he might
succeed in producing new flower
combining the strong qualities Of both
and surprising either of them in
beauty. &, ~

the 11-year-old boy evangelist who for
three months has been touring England,
Scotland and Wales, where he held sue
cessful revivals, has returned to this

The boy is for his years, prodigy as

During the lads tour Of Great Britain
he preached to probably 100000 per-
sons. His converts numbered 10000.
His daily audiences in London, the boy
said, averaged 1000.
In personal appearance the boy shows
his parentage-his mother Ia q negress

father is half white and half Indian.
When he speaks 1t is with the deliber-

sizes his words with vigorous shakes Of
his head. With the lad was his mother.
Speaking of the English reyivals, he
said:
