yielded eighteen bales in 1904
1t was cultivated on halves by
Mr.. ID. @. Rodgers. We went
out to view this land, which is in
cotton this year, but owing to
the hot wave which simply cook
ed the forms upon it, and the
squares and young bolls still hang
upon the stalks by hundreds, the
yield will not be more than half
to the acre. The stalks were
fine, six feet high, but the top
three feet had no fruit upon 1T.
This land is fresh, the top soil is
sandy, pebble soil, with stiff, red
clay subsoil, the ideal land for
cotton. This land was broad.
casted with stable manure in the
fall and broken deep with a two
horse plow. In the spring tn e
ro VS. were laid off four feet apart
and six hundred pounds of "Day
Break" a highly ammoniated
guano, was used in the drill. The
cotton was planted about the mid
die of April, of the "Big Boil"
variety. When the cotton came
up 1T was sided and chopped in
the ordinary way. 1t was plow
ed every ten days with scooter
and scrape. The cotton was left
one stalk to about eighteen or
twenty inches.
We are convinced that to get
the maximum yield you must
have it thick the land must be
wholly occupied with cotton.
We have seen several parties this
year trying seven or eight-foot
rows. This is too wide. We
are confident four feet is best,
both for corn and cotton. Now
three things stand out very clear
to our minds in these two i'm =
stances and they stand at the
very foundation of all successful
farming. First, the lands were
broken deep second, they were
we'll manured and largely with
cow and horse manure. We can
never do the best farming with.
out more cattle to make more
manure. Thirdly, they cultivat-
ed rapidly. Rapid, shallow cul.
tlvation alone can give us the
maximum yield. This is the only
way to make money raising cot
ton; and whenever you bring
one or more acres up to this yield
you have done a genuine service
first to yourself for you will
never be quite 50 conlented with
low one and second, to your
pocket, which will feel the diff
terence In the fall third, to your
family and community in setting
them a good example ever to fol
low, and fourth, TO posterity, for
to them you will leave some
acres more fertile than you found
them, and upon which they, in
turn, can receive a just return for
all their labor expended upon
such lands.

board, said to-day:
$50 far as l am aware, neither the
board nor any Individual member Of it
has expressed any opinion as to the
type of canal that is favored. The
board is not in possession of all the
facts bearing upon the question of
type. It returns to this city entirely
free from any prejudice or bias re-
specting that type so far as known to
me. The board will be in continuous
session either as board or in sepa-
rate committees until they reach con-
clusion, which will be arrived at some
time in the month of November, prob
ably near the close. Two committees
have been appointed to study the two
types of canal-sea level and lock-
and these committees are endeavoring
to develop the best canal OF each type.
When the work shall have been com.
plsted the whole board will be ready to

Announcement That the Burlington

Omaha-General Manager Holdrege,

miles of road to extend its lines to
Salt Lake City. The line will start

Warmth Of btis Welcome.
Mobile, Ala.--That peace hath
her victories no less renowned
than war was never better ex-
emplifed than In the reception
of President Roosevelt during
his two hours stay In Mobile Mon
day evening. There was general
closing of the business houses and
along the route OF the procession from
the union station to the stand on Bien-
Vile Square. where the reception cere-
monies took place. the residences and
stores we're covered with decorations
Of lights and bunting In the national
colors.
The stand was erected ON Bienville
street, facing the square, which long
before the President arrived, was filled
with struggling crowd of citizens. 1t
was brilliant with electric lights and
overhead the magnificent grove OF live
oaks formed canopy OF green.
1t is estimated that by the time the
President began his address there was
. crowd numbering 10000 people
within the sound OF his voice.
He appeared to be overwhelmed
with pleasure at the spOntaneity of his
welcome. His seat was on an elevated
dais in a chair which was built by the
students Of a technical school In
Japan.
Back of the chair was an enormous
stuffed bear. eight feet tall, bearing in
its mouth a floral independence bell
and above its head white dove hold
ing a streamer on which was the in
scription blessed is the Peacemaker." "
The bear was killed In hunting ex-
pedition by Emperor Alexander ii. OF
Russia, In 1857, according to the in
scriptiOn on bronze plate on the base
of the mounting.

federate admiral Raphael Semmes, pre-
sented to the President and pinned
upon the lapel of his coat handsome

pie of Mobile.
President Roosevelt was cheered as
he rose to speak He thanked the peO-
pie for their magnificent reception and
spoke special words of greeting to the
Confederate veterans, who formed a
portion OF his escort.
Referring to the Panama canal the
President said:
''If we build the canal we must pro.
tect 1t and police 1t ourselves. We
must, therefore, bring up and keep up
our navy to the highest point of efn-
cheney.
In the event of war, the American
people must rely mainly upon its vol
unteer soldiers. While it is compare.
lively a simple act to turn man into
quite good soldier, you can neither
improvise battleship, or the crew OF
a battleship. 1t Is not necessary that
we should have particularly large
navy, but 1t is necessary that, ship for
ship, it should be little the best in
the world"

CANAL WILL BE BUILT.
So Says the President at jacksonville,
Florida.

Jacksonville, Fla.-The reception to
President Roosevelt Saturday was a
hearty one. Thousands thronged the
streets on the line OF march and the
President showed in his manner his
appreciation of the good will that was
manifested on every side. In his ad-
dress he said:
Here in Florida, the first of the
Gulf states which l have visited upon
this trip, wish to say special word
about the Panama canal. l believe
that the canal will be of great benefit
to all our people, but most of all to
the states of the South Atlantic, the
Gulf and the Pacific slope.
when completed the canal will
stand as monument to this nation;
for 1t will be the greatest engineering
feat ever accomplished in the world It
will be a good thing for the world as a
whole, and for the people of the 18th
mus and the the northern portions of
South America in particular. Because
OF our especial interest in it, and be.
cause Of the position we occupy on this
hemisphere, 1t is matter of special
pride to us that our nation, the Ameri-
can nation, should have undertaken the
performance of this world duty.
"A body Of the most eminent engi-
neers in the world, both Americans
and foreigners. has been summoned to
advise as to the exact type Of canal
which should be built At no distant
date hope to be able to announce
what their advice is, and also the ac-
tion taken upon their advice. Mean
while the work is already well under
way, and has advanced sufficiently far
to enable me to announce with GER
tainty that it can surely be accom-
plished, and probably at rather less ex-
pense than was anticipated.
But upon the last point, as well as
upon the question of time, NO positive
statement can be made until the re-
port OF the commission of engineers as
to the exact type Of canal has been re-
ceived. The work Is as difficult as it
is important; and it is Of course newt
able that from time to time difficulties
will occur and checks be encountered.
mo check that may come will be of
more than trivial and passing conse-
quences, will infiict any permanent
damage, or cause any serious delay.
The work can be done, is being done.
and will be done. What has already
been accomplished is guaranty as to
the future.
"The veterans Of the Civil War who
are here present will tell you that the
very rear of an army, even when It ia
victorious, Is apt to look and behave as
II the victory were defeat. And lust
the same thing is true in any great en-
terprise in civil life; there are always
weaklings who get trampled down or
lose heart, and there are always peo.
pie who listen to their complaints.
They amount to nothing one way or
the other, SO far as achieving results
10 concerned; and their complaints
and outcries need never detain u.s."

San Francisco.-The liner Siberia,

ten hours and twenty-eight minutes.
The best previous time between this
port and Yokohama was made by The
Korea, i. sister ship Of the Siberia, in
ten days, eleven hours and five min
utes. Miss Roosevelt and the Harri-
man party were hurried across the bay
and left at once for the East by special
train. Miss Roosevelt denied that shs
had received expensive presents while
in the Orient and said that she had
done none of the remarkable things
credited to her by yellow journals.
The Siberia's time Is sixteen hours
