one of two things must happen IN
thenesr future-either the farmers
and other holders Of cotton must
relieve the pred,cament the BUYERS
are in. by selling at present prices,
or the buyers will, Of absolute neces.
sity, be forced to go actively into
the spot market and bid prices up
to q point where the spot holders
are willing to sell. The fight ,a
now whipped, and all the farmers
have to now do Is to continue to
hold their cotton and force the buy.
ers to pay wha: the cotton IS worth.
The exporters are heavily short for
all the future months; therefore,
when sales are made, sell only a
small portion of your holdings and
keep the buyers strained up to ill
their contracts. The price of cotton
can be advanced 2 cents per pound
within the next sixty days, If cot
ton is held firmly as at present.
Let there be no wavering anywhere
in the ranks.
'sFrom many sections inquiries
are coming in, asking if . farmer
who planted only 10 acres of cotton
to the plow In 1904 should reduce
his acreage 25 per cent also. The
general cut of At least 25 per
cent should be made on every farm,
no matter what acreage. Extensive
cotton fields should be cut 33 per
cent. 1t Is better to work eight
acres of cotton at = profit than to
cultivate ten acres at q loss. The
man who does not reduce his acre
age will be making q profit on the
cotton he raises 1t the expense of
his ne,ghbors who do reduce. Let
every man put his shoulder to the
wheel. Let the reduction be
prorated according to the acreage
planted in 1904, on . basis of a.
least IS per cent less, and no
man will have cause to regre. his
action next fall.
'Reduce the use of guano at least
25 per cent, and in no instance IN.
crease it's use under cotton. We
must decrease production this year,
and this is the only way to do it.
Plant more food supply crops
"l'he movement to retire the
surplus of 100000 bales from the
until next fall will soon be
started and will be successful.
With the surplus out of the way,
and the reduction of acreage and
the use of guano an accomplished
fact, the balance of the crop left in
the hands of the holders will be
needed for immediate consumption
and can be sold easily at much
higher prices than those at present
prevailing.
ssThe State conventions of the
2 lst should also pass resolutions
calling upon landlords to divide

Address to
Cotton Growers

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. l9.-Harvie
Jordan, president of the Southern
Cotton Association has lssued the
following address:
"lbe delegates to the State and
Territorial conventions on the 2lst
should pass ringing resolutions IN.
dorsing the policy of the Southern
Cotton ASSOCIATION to secure re.
ductlon of at least 25 per cent in
the cotton acreage and the use of
commercial fertilizers to be used
under cotton for 1905; also calling
upon every spot holder of cotton
to tighten up his grip and refuse to
market q single bale until the
price advances to fair and legitl-
mate figures. The New Orleans
Convention adopted a resolution
which was unanimous, calling upon
people 70 hold their spot cotton un:
I'll prices reached III cents per
pound, delivered at the ports,
which would make the price about
$50 in the interior. The onlv
way to break the present advancing
market is to throw spot cotton on
the market and enable the buyers
TO fill their contracts.
"Recent investigations at all the
prominent cotton centers show be.
yond all doubt that exporters are
heavily short of spot cotton TO fill
their contracts with. They will be
utterly unable to carry out their
contracts At present prices, If the
holders will stand pat and refuse
to sell. The crisis IN the situation
Is rapidly crystallizing, aud but

Irrigation engineers of the reclama

There Is a splendid project in the i'm.

people who own land in this vicinity
will cooperate with the officials Of the
reclamation service. Engineer James
A. French, who did much of the pre-
l1minary work in North Dakota last
season, is in the state again and will
spend the summer here. IF the Bis,
marck project is not developed it will
be because of the Indifference of those
who should be most Interested. There
is a splendid opportunity at the pres.
ent time for the land owners in this
vicinity to assist in, the development

to be hoped they will not fail to see

WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE.

In Absence Of Interest Here Irrigation
Plans are Being Formulated for
Mandan.
A Mandan dispatch to the Forum in
dicates what the Tribune has predicted
in case the people in the vicinity of
Bismarck passed up" the governments
irrigation offer. The dispatch says:
The engineers of the reclamation
service have commenced investiga-
tons on this side of the river for a
pumping plant, with which to irrigate
several thousand acres. 1t is believed
that the water can be taken over the
bluff from the Missouri river, aud
placed on the flats along the Heart
river very successfully, and the en-.
gineers are now working out this plan,
and in this enterprise they have the
hearty cooperation of all the land own
ers, who are rendering every assist
ance In their power. The owners of
the land on the eastern side of the
Missouri are not entering heartily into
the plans outlined there last fall, and
unless they see fit to take advantage
OF the offer Of the government to ex-
pend $55O,OO0 to put in the plant there
1t looks as If this money would BE
transferred to the west bank Of the
river, and the country around Mandan
be made to blossom as the rose
gardens of Italy, with an unfailing
supply of water which would give us
at least three crops of alfalfa per year,
and greatly Increase the fruit produc-
ton of this section. The work thus
far has been decidedly ENCOURAGING.

Evaporated Creams.

I, For the past three months we have
warned wholesalers, jobbers and retail
ers that the term "evaporated cream"
as applied to milk from which the
water has been partially removed can
not be considered proper labelling.
Our annual report, now in the hands
Of the state printer, deals fully with
the matter. '%
wish again at this time to warn
the public that after July LIST the term
evaporated cream as applied to the
class of products named will be
deemed sufficient reason for making
the product as illegal in this state.
The term evaporated milk might be
considered a proper labelling, providing
none OF the fat has been removed from
the milk and the can is labeled so as
to show the net weight Of its con-
tents. e. -

go and Minneapolis, and other extern
sive lines farther south. He also or

'Mandan Fair Sheds Burn.

Mandan Republicans: Shortly be.
fore o'clock this afternoon fire was
discovered among the cattle sheds at
the northwest corner of the fair
grounds, and an alarm was promptly
rung in. The fire started at the south
end of the cattle sheds and among
stacks of hay belonging to Steve
Brink, and the wind being strong from
the south the fire quickly consumed
the hay and ran along the sheds and
fences northward and literally wiped
them out of existence In the twinkllng
Of an eye. The fire followed the fence
westward to Mrs. Breen's place and
but for the efficient action of the fire
department in back firing, the whole
north fence and Mrs. Breen's house
would have been consumed. It was
finally subdued without doing any
damage to the latter place. s<i
The fire burned furiously and threw
it a, most spectacular fire as viewed
from the city. The cause of the fire
is unknown though two negroes who
were seen lettering around the vicinity
are suspected. - 80, 49, "
