STOCK FEED GOOD IN NORTHERN
 ARIZONA.
(From Fridays Daily.)

(From Fridays Daily.)
 The following is the crop bulletin for the week ending August 21:
 There was less cloudiness over the greater portion of the territory. No precipitation occurred over the northern and western sections; light rain over the central and southern sections on three days, attended by thunderstOrms. Local high winds damaged crops and considerable property over MarieOpa and Gila counties on the afternoon of the 10th. Temperatures averaged 3 degrees above the weekly normal. The extremes were: Maximum, 106 degrees, at Phoenix on the 17th; minimum, 45 degrees at Flagstaff on the 18th.
 Early corn is being gathered over the extreme northern section; the late crop is not so great as expected. The wheat and barley crop has not all been cut over the northern sections. Nearly all of the grain hay cut over the central and southern sections has been stacked. The fourth cutting of al falfa continues, and the fifth crop is blooming over the central and south ern sections. Vegetables, such as beets, carrots, onions, parsnips, arti- chokes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, to- matoes and cymlings are growing well. Turnips are being sown. Late pota- toes are out of the ground, some hay ing good stands. Cantaloupes and wa termelons are becoming scareer.
 Pomegranates are ripening; this crop is unusually large this season. Olives are setting heavily, and will soon be ready for picking. The third fig crop is not yielding so largely; the quality being, likewise, inferior. Orange, lem on, pomelo, lime and grape fruit trees are heavily loaded. Grapes, pears, and peaches are plentiful; ship ments of the former being about over. Apples are rotting and dropping, the fruit being somewhat scarce. Almonds are yielding well. The date crop is decidedly larger than last year; it is making rapid growth. Prune, fig and raisin drying continue.
 Stock continues to improve, never theless grass is browning rapidly. The crop of mesquite beans, from which stock subsists during the late sum- mer months, is up to the usual standard. There is a general deterioration in the ranges. Over the northern sections the range grass remains green and nu- tritious, while over the southern and western sections, grass is almost com pletely drying up. Some few ship

OLD MINER INSANE.
Tom Williams Committed to the
 Asylum.
(From Fridays Dailyl

Thomas Williams, who is one of the best known of the old miners of this county, was recently arraigned be fore Judge Hicks in the probate court charged with insanity, and after a careful examination was committed to the asylum at Phoenix It will be re- membered that about one week ago Williams was brought here from Stan ton in sadly depleted mental con ditiOn. He was at that time utterly irresponsible, and it was hoped that with proper care and medical atten- tion he might recover his faculties.
 County officials did all that was pos sible to assist the unfortunate man, and when yesterday he was brought before the probate court, he showed by every action that he was in no eondi- tion to look after himself. Doctors LoOney and Davis were called in to pass upon the case, and it required but short examination to indicate that Williams was insane. After the phy- sicians had reported their opinion to the court, the latter made order that Williams be conveyed to the territorial asylum.
 Williams is 72 years of age, and is a native of Wales. Inquiry develops that he has no living relatives so far as can be aseertained from those who have been personally intimate with the man for years past. He has no money and no property of value, but it is the impression among his friends here that he has relatives still living in Wales who may be heard from when they are advised of his eondi- tion. He was taken to the asylum at Phoenix by a deputy last evening.
 Tom Williams, as he is familiarly known among the older residents of Prescott, has been a characteristics miner and laborer in Yavapai county for many years. The oldest of the To- cal voters tell of having known him from the time of the early Indian trou- bles. He is highly spoken of among those who are best acquainted with him, and his friends here are all sorry to learn of his mental attack.

Soon after beginning to take Electric Bitters I obtained relief, and in a short time I was entirely cured.', Guaranteed at all druggists; price soc.

From nj Carolina.

Messrs. Editors This section is
much interested in tobacco as well as
cotton. Mullins is the leading to-
bacco market in South Carolina.
The cotton acreage will be reduced.
Tobacco, however, will be increased
over 1904. Oats have been increased.
Irish potato crop more than doubled.
Strawberry crop will be much in
creased over 1904. "More grain,
more grass, more pigs, more calves,
and less cotton" is the slogan of the
common farmer.
A great many of the farmers of
this community cannot much reduce
cotton acreage, as they had done so
before 1905. Consequently the TWEEN
ty-five per cent horizontal reduction
will not universally prevail here
abouts, but the crop will not average
over ten acres to the mule. j.

Union County all Right.
S. III. HOBBS.

Messrs. Editors In compliance
with your request in last weeks is
sue of The Progressive Farmer and
Cotton Plant, I send you a brief &C
count of what Union County cotton
growers are doing.
Union has taken an active interest
from the start in the movement to
hold cotton and reduce acreage. They
are doing the one in a way that sur
prises the 'bears." They will do the
other when the time comes to the
utter ruin of "bruin." We are well
organized and will hold cotton and
reduce acreage from twenty-five to
forty per cent. The farmers of
Union will give more attention to
forage and grain crops, cattle and
hogs.
We think your suggestion a good
one, that every cotton county in the
Carolinas report their organization
In your paper. 1t would create en-
thusiasm, and it would be encour-
aging to know that we are all work
ing in harmony for the accomplish
merit of the one great purpose: bet
ter prices for our great agricultural
product, cotton. Let the reports
come in.
Now, Mr.. Editor, let me say a few
words in commentator of your most
excellent paper. / am rejoiced to
know that you are to remain as it's
editor. You and your co-workers
are doing a noble work in your efforts
to develop the agricultural resources
of the State. There is but one

sured we are leaving nc stone I'M
turned to get the farmers in line In
regard to acreage. We have every
township organized and everything
in tip-top shape so far. We thought
it best to hold our meeting on the
18th instead of the 10Th, as the 18th
is Saturday, and we can get more
farmers out on that day. We shall
certainly try to send you a delega-
ton of good men to the State on
vention on the Dist.
I believe the people down here re-
alize the mighty task we have under
taken, and / have no doubt they
made up their minds to fight to the
finish. A good many of them have
undergone great p~rivation already to
hold their cotton thus far, but they
say they are determined to fight it
out. From what / can learn from
those / have talked to-, the acreage
here will be cut off from thirty-three
and one-third to fifty per cent. There
are about 5000 bales being held now
in the county; 1 know this to be so
from actual canvass. | understand
some one has reported to the New
York Cotton Exchange that there are
5000 bales being held in the county.
The fact is there has not been over
$4,000 bales made in the county this
year, so you see what dastardly
methods they are ~resorting to. /
have no doubt but that they are do
ing the same thing in other counties.
I have called your attention to this
fact to see if something can't be
done to remedy it.
Very respectfully,
S. II. HOBBS.

We would be glad to have you notify

a misapprehension as to the "color

Southern Cotton Association. This
question was eliminated, as the Con-

quently, we regret very much to have

columns of such a good paper as
yours, as this one has.
1t was the unanimous decision of

ter as it saw fit; therefore, the ques-
ton was not embodied in the resolu-

Farmers Buy Cotton.

Messrs. Editors Would it not be
well for us farmers to buy as much
cotton Ct mean spot cotton) now as
we intend to raise this year-now
while the price is low? For we GER
tainly cannot raise it at the present
price. Buy and hold until next fall
instead of undertaking to raise the
crop. It will cost us seven cents to
raise it and get it ready for market.
So if it costs us as much to raise it
as we can get for it, what is the sense
of throwing away our time? Why
not buy now at cents? 1t is
the safest plan.
Some may say that the farmer has
not the money to buy the cotton with.
Well, then, has he the money to farm
with, to make that cotton? If so,
take that money. If he has to give
note Or mortgage to farm, then sure
ly the bank or merchant would rather
1Odu ChO u1OHCy On tHS COGGOH dLU
other securities than for the farmer
to run risk of making the crop.
When we get our cotton stored away,
let US SOW our land down in peas or
some other soil improver, while the
speculator is gambling over the
amount of cotton that will be made
in 1905.
[ think this plan will help to re-
duce the acreage to be planted and
create a demand for it. Those who
have cotton on hand hold on to it
also. Fellow farmer, how does this
strike you?

Cotton Farmers are Determined.

Messrs. Editors The enclosed
letter bearing on the cotton situa-
ton, was not written for publication,
but it gives such a true insight to
the real situation that / send it to
you and ask you to publish it for
the benefit of our 'bear" friends who
are disposed to think the agitation
to hold cotton and reduce acreage is
only a bubble that will burst with the
first oposition that it comes in con
tact with.
The situation and determination
as related, in Sampson County, are
indexes to the conditions prevailing
in other counties, and in other
States. And yet we need to organize
thoroughly so as to be in touch and
accord one with another all along
the line, to counsel, advise and en-
courage each other to stand firm and
yield not. Everything now depends
on the farmers themselves. They
have the key to the situation and can
control it.
In this Connection let me say that
rates to the Cotton Growers and
Business Mems Convention, the 21st,
will be one fare plus 25 cents. Tick
cts will be on sale the goth and 21st,
good on any train arriving in Ra-
leigh before noon the Dist. Dele
gates can return on any train up to

In an interview Mrs. Young says she

was happy, but after the birth of their
son and their removal to Chicago Mrs.
Young's troubles began. Her husband
became infatuated with Bernice Bel
mont, whom Mrs. Young describes as a
notorious character. The two went to
New York and Mrs. Young was left in
want in Chicago.
After time a reconciliation was &C

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Sept. 27.-Leading physi-
clans of New York believe that the
efforts of the western homeopathic to
regulate by law the marriage of per-
sons whose health is seriously impaired,
are misdirected. While the New York
doctors agree that something should be
done to restrict such unions, they think
that legislative action would be of no
avail.
The medical society Of the state Of
New York, which has taken up many
important matters that have come be-
fore various legislatures at Tlbany, has
considered at different times, without
taking action to regulate marriage along
the lines followed by the western doc
tors, but the subject has always been
dropped as impracticable.
Wet Blanket on Westerners.
DR.. Frank Van Vleet, who is chair.
man of. the committee on legislation Of
the state medical society, said:
"I do not think the efforts Of the
western doctors can avail anything. The
matter is a very serious one and it must

saloonkeeper has personal rights, why
should not man who is going to mar
ry9 I do not think the matter is one
for legislative action. A mans own
conscience should tell him whether he
ought to marry or not. If his health
is such that he is reasonably sure the
children that might be brought into the
world as result of his marriage would
inherit disease, he would have no right,
under the ordinary conception OF the
sacredness of human life, to form the
marriage union. The time is certainly
not ripe for legislative action. Restricoe
ton must come thru the education Of
the people to the dangers of unhealthy
marriages. >t s~<l
In Sympathy with Idea.
DR.. John Girdner said he was in sym
pathy with anything that would cor
rect the evils of marriage wherein
either of the contracting parties was
afflicted with constitutional illness, but
he thought the legislature would be 60
ing far out of it's jurisdiction to tam
per with the question.
DR.. Walter G. Gilday said: It is
all foolishness to think Of restricting
marriage by legislative means. There
would be thousand and one ways of
evading it. Shyster doctors would null
lily the good that was sought by issuing
any sort of certificate wanted. think
the question will not be solved for
years to come. Love is an institution

The western doctors are only trying to
find solution to the problem that has

for years. They can hardly expect tc
