Possibilities of Southern Agriculture.

In its report of the recent meeting
of the Farmers National Congress
III St. Louis, the Albany Country
Gentleman says:
Col. j. W. Killebrew, former State
Commissioner of Agriculture of
Georgia, delivered an address on the
possibilities of the South. He de-
scribed the country as the finest pos
sible, and with the development now
IN progress, and the boom that would
come when the Ishmian Canal was
completed, there were ample reasons
for visions of transcendent glory.
Every vegetable product could profit
ably be produced within it's bounds;
great variety of soil existed; alluvial
soils of surprising fertility covered
a large portion of its area. The eli
mate was mild, enjoyable and health
1uL Cotton, sugar and rice, al
though the great staples were by no
means the only sources of wealth. In
some Instances cited the yield had
been increased over so per cent by
- VI 1CIGlIlL6rS. LII SOuIu0ru
Htates, producing surplus of wheat,
the yield had been two bushels per
acre over average of the whole coun-
Try, Southern possibilities of produc-
uon were equal to those of any other
section without encroaching on the
cotton lands. Of the area of twenty
telght million acres available, only
IOur millions were in cultivation. In
Tile past ten years farm land had in
creased IN value 20 per cent, and the
product IA per cent; in the past
L"enty-three years the population
nad increased so per cent and. the
product 23O per cent. Forage crops
were beng increased immensely by
T me cultivation of leguminous plants.
Inc South had practically a monopo-
o1 the cotton supply of the world
CE oE account of it's specially suitable
SLnate, extending through ten de-
sIeeS latitude. In 1903 the value of
eee e5e cotton crop, with the seed, was

tO "Iy' Ihls could be increased by in

had monopoly of phosphate rocks.
More intelligent labor was necessary,
and perhaps this might come by col
onization from Europe; with more la
Dor available, production can be
trebled. Tobacco is produced in
greater variety of types than in any
other Part of the world. The crop
was $50 million pounds, of value
from 40 to SO million dollars per an
mum. Japan seed rice had been a
cause of great increase of produc-
tion, and new methods of cultivation
had revolutionized the rice industry.
Truck farming and fruit growing
now returned fifty million dollars
per annum. The live stock industry
was capable of immense increase.
The South now exported third
of the total of the country's ship
ments abroad. New Orleans was the

lures, forests of great extent, soils

the present generation. 1t has varied

ity happily blended; landscapes are
beautiful; minerals abound. With
this foundation and opportunities

Effects of Borax.

The use of borax and boric acid as
preservatives of food intended for
common and continuous use is mad
visable, according to a Government
report, based on the results of last
years tests on the "poison squad"
The Bureau of Chemistry which con-
Quoted the tests ON ten young men
who volunteered for the service, says
that in doses no larger than seven
and a half grains day, these chemi
Gals are preiudicial to health when
consumed for long time. 1t is held
that foods containing them should be
marked plainly.
No visible effects, the report says,
are produced in persons of good
health by the occasional use of borax
or boric acid in small quantities, but
the young, the debilitated and the
sick. it adds. are not to be forgotten,
and the safe rule is to exclude these
preservatives from foods intended
for general consumption. When
mixed with the food they are alb
sorbed into the circulation. They
tend to create a dislike for the food
in which they are found. If con-
tinued for a long time in quantities
not exceeding seven and one-half
grains per day the cause occasional
loss of appetite, ill-feeling, fulness
in the head and distress in the stom-
ach. If given in larger and increas-
ing doses these symptoms are de-
veloped more rapidly and are accen-
tuated by a slight clouding of the
mental faculties. When increased
to forty-fve grains a day the doses
sometimes cause nausea.
There is but little apparent dis
turbance in the process of digestion
or assimilation. The administration
of the preservatives, the report says,
tends to diminish slightly the weight
of the body.

Warehouses for Cotton.

Messrs. Editors AS I can foresee
our situation,it's the proper course to
follow for all the cotton farmers to
use their means and influence to
build storage warehouses for cotton,
having them built and ready for this

ure remedy all causes for low prices.

Portland, Or, July 4.-On almost
the stroke Of II o'clock last night the
jury in the case of the United States
against United States Senator John n.
Mitchell, returned a verdict Of guilty
as charged.
The charge is that Senator Mitchell,
while occupying his high position, ac-
cepted pecuniary consideration for
practicing before the federal depart
ments at Washington, which under
the federal statutes constitutes a
crime.
Senator Mitchell refused to talk for
publication after the verdict had been
rendered. Senator Thurston stated,
however, that if the motion for a new
trial is overruled, the case will be ap-
pealed to the United States circuit
court, and then to the supreme court
Of the United States, if necessary.
The verdict of the jury contained a
recommendation for the msercy of the
court.

VIRTUALLY VACANCY In
SENATE FROM Oregon

Washington, July 5.-In view of his
conviction in criminal court, the re-
lation of John H. Mitchell, of Oregon,
is similsr to that Of Joseph r. Burton,
Of Kansas. Both were convicted on
essentially the same charge. Senator
Burton appealed from the verdict Of
the lower court, and the supreme court
ordered new trial, which has not
yet been reached.
ell has appeared in the senate only
once and then it was to make state
ment protesting his innocence. Sena-
tor Burton, after his indictment, took
no part in the senate proceedings, the
leaders Of that body having told him
quite peintedly that he was not ex-
pected to do SO.
Whether the senate will expel SEN
ators Mitchell and Burton in the event
of their final conviction has not been
determined. 1t is possible that they
will be permitted to resign, but at any
rate they will not be permitted to take
any part in the work of the senate.
The conviction of Senator Mitchell
practically causes vacancy in the
Craftsmanship of the important COM
mittee on interoceanic canals, Mr..
Mitchell having succeeded to this place
after the death of Senator Hanna, of
Ohio. Senator Plat, of New York,
the ranking member, does not want
the Craftsmanship, and next in order is
Senator Willard, of Nebraska, who is,
therefore, eligible to the craftsmanship.
Secretary Of the Interior Hitchcock,
at whose instance the land fraud trials
were begun, did not conceal his graft
citation over the news that Senator
Mitchell had been convicted. He has
consistently predicted that the govern.
ment would secure a conviction in this
and several other cases.
At the same time Mr.. Hitchcock said
that the prosecution Of Mr.. Mitchell
had not been vindictive, but simply
in line with the administration policy
of upholding the law without discrim
ination. The secretary added that the
government would interpose no objec-
tions to Senator Mitchell's motion for
a new trial. =
