TOO MANY JAcoHsoNs.
J. o. Jacobson Says Prisoner is No
Relative of His.

There are too many Jacobsons in the
city, or at least too many who have
a 81" as an initial. The prisoner, j.
jacobson, who pleaded guilty in the
district court to the larceny of brass
from the Iowa Central, and who will
receive his sentence tomorrow morning,
is not related to the many Jacobsons
of the city, and is an entire stranger
here. j. 0. Jacobson, of SOB West Linn
street, fears that some of his friends
will think the prisoner is one of his
relatives. There is another j. Jacob
son, well known contractor, living
at 4O7 North Third avenue, and aside
from him there are three other a."
Jacdbsons in the city, two Jacobs and
one Joseph.

Business Today.
The county treasurer's office was
one Of the busiest places in the city
today and Treasurer j. p. Cooper and
his two deputies were kept busy all
day receiving taxes paid by those who
had put off this duty until the last
moment. AS many as twenty people
were waiting in line at the various
windows at one time this afternoon.
The slow tax payers will be given
day or two of grace as has always been
the custom, and will have until Mon
day to pay the first half or all, before
the penalty attaches. The largest pay

BANKERS SAY FARMERS WILL

Every bank in the South has been
asked by letter sent out by the Manu-
facturers' Record, if the cotton farm
ers of each county will, (l) reduce
cotton acreage, (2) if reduced acre
age will be due to agreement among
farmers or because merchants refuse
advances, 90 to what extent Will dl-
yersification be practiced, and "a are
farmers financially able to hold cot
ton.
The results can be only briefly
stated here:
"Of 1910 letters, 96S bore directly
upon these topics. OF the 96S, S44
indicated a reduction in acreage this
year ranging from to 30 per cent
one Louisiana letter, indeed, stating
that the reduction would amount to
80 per cent and that the growers
would return to cane culture. In l0e
were statements that there would be
no reduction or that new land brought
under cultivation would take the
place of old land relinquished to other
crops than cotton. The no-reduction
policy seems to prevail principally IN
parts of Indian Territory, Oklahoma
Arkansas. Texas, Louisiana, Missls
sippi, and in one region of Alabama
while at 16 points west of the Missls
sippi it is announced that there vii
be an increase in the acreage.
much of the decrease will be ac
companied by proportionate increase
of acreage devoted to other crops
So important is the matter OF reduc
ton of cotton acreage held to be tina

Effects Of Prosperity.

In the six years of the country's
greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1908,
average prices of breadstuffs advanced
65 per cent, meats 23.1 per cent, dairy
and garden products.501 per cent. and
clothing 24.1.4 All these were products
of the farmer and stockman who
profted more than any other class of
the community by, these advances.
The miner benefited 42.1 per cent by
that advance in the average price Of
metals. The only decrease in the
average prices of commodities in that
period was in railway freight rates,
which decreased from .79S per ton-mile
in 1897 to .763 in 1903, loss of Al
per cent. The report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission shows that the
yerage increase in the pay of rail-
road employees in that period was a
trifle above S.5, per cent.

REDUCTION OF COTTON ACREAGE
what do you think of the proposed


what do you think of the proposed
reduction of cotton acreage for the
year 1862" Is an inquiry frequently
made by farmers, but not so easily
ans Hered. 1t depends on conditions.
II the object is to reduce the acreage
in order to put more labor on the area
cultivated in cotton, and thus produce
better crop, the policy is wise and
should be generally followed. If the
object is to cut down the acreage
solely for the purpose of increasing
the price of cotton, 1t is questionable,
and especially as this request is ac-
companied by a resolution to reduce
the amount of fertilizers used by %
per cent. 1t looks like a suggestion
to make poor crop to increase the
price.
This poor crop policy is one of the
most damaging lines of advice that
could be given to the public. No
farmer ever made any money by fol-
lowing the poor crop system OF agri-
culture. A large number of reports
were secured last year from reliable
farmers in Louisiana and Texas COW
ering an average cost of lint cotton
per pound, where the crop averaged
a bale per acre, was 4.8 cents. Ii the
product fell half bale the cost of
production increased to Z cents per
pound, and the same reports show that
where one-third of bale, the average
cost is 81 cents, and at one-fourth OF
a bale the cost is II cents; when it
reached one-eighth of bale the cost
was Is cents per pound; at one-sixth
bale the cost became sc cents per
pound
In these estimates of cost everything
| is allowed at a reasonable cash value
| including rent of land, use of teams,
tools, etc. These costs are only
averages. Some farmers may make
cotton at less and some at greater
/ cost.
The practical lesson to be needed is,
let every farmer raise the best cotton
crop possible, because this is the only
| line of profit. If you average less than
half a bale per acre, better go out OF
the cotton business. This applies to
every farmer who is making cotton on
! his own account and wants to pros
| per. To men who are renting thelI
lands for a share, it is OF the highest
importance to secure a good crop, and
| the tenant must make better average
than he has in the past ten years. OF
his future is not very brilliant. There
are certain fixed charges in the pro
| duction of all crops that are practi
cally the same whether the crop is
large or small, such as rent OF land
breaking, seed, blowing or cultivating
and, in general all items incident te
the production of crop, except mar
vesting.
To these must be added family ex
penses where a man works his owl
| crop. From a money standpoint the
most essential problem in farming i:
how to make large crop econlmlc
ally, and the larger the crop Tine
greater the economy, as rule.
There is no moro profit in reducing
the acreage two-thirds and producing
a bale to the acre, than in planting
the whole land and harvesting one
third of a bale. The difference be
tween planting 300 acres to cotton ant
getting one-thord Of a bale per acre
or planting 100 acres and getting
bale per acre is $3.50 in favor of thu
less acreage and the larger crop.

along with the vote the water bonds There would
be possibility Of confusan however If the two
stons were submitted Jointly The water proposition
is so preponderanty important that not even remote
possibility of risk should be TAKEN And although
sewer funds urgently needed brief delay in that
work will be a comparatively trivial matter.
AS an indication of the great caution required to
avoid any mschance in the water bond election 1t is
noted that delay Of four days in the adoption of the

failure of certain councmen to submit their lists Of
election officers. AS precautionary measure the coun-

submitting of election officers at the meeting
of the council Thursday the ordinance would have
