LRY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TR1RuNE.

TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
Pittsburg May 1.-The annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Westsde Belt Line was held
here to-day. The westside Belt is an adjunct
of the Wabash. F. c. Nickodemus. of New York,
Representing George Gould, as on hand to act
for him in the election Joseph Ramsey was
suppanted on the board of directors and in the
presidency by F. A. Delane. All PittsblCg mem
bers of the board of directors were also side
tracked for Lake Erie men. The complete dis
appearance of the name Of Ramsey leaves no
doubt that he is severing all connection with the
Wabash in spite of stories that he will remain
in some good capacity.
It was declared by prominent United States
Steel interests yesterday that at no time had
there been friction between the Steel Corpora
ton and the Goulds over the question of giving
the Wabash a connection into the Pittsburg
plants of the United States Steel Corporation.
There has been delay, not friction" it was
added. but the route of the connecting line has
now been agreed upon by the engineers of both
companies. and the construction of the line will
follow before long.

Must Listen tn Reason.

The difference Of opinion as to
the cotton acreage of the South
will not be definitely .,itled until
an estimate is given out by tho
gov ernmcnt after the crops have
been planted. While many farm
crs and tho association have de
clarCd that tho re ductioD will be
fully 25 per cents. there arc other
claims th.t such is not the case,
several producers contending that
it will even greater than last year.
Time alone must tell. 1t il clear
on its face, however, TINT those
who arc living up TO tho New
Orleans agreement will profit in
the end, for unless there is
marked decrease the prices in
the fall are certain to drop. That
being true, the man who has
thrown all of his land into the
money crop will ouffer, while
those who have gone in for diver
sitied farming will have ever, :
thing to gain. So many states
ments have been sent out about
the sale of fertilizer that it is
hard to figure on the exact truth,
although there has been an in
crease in the South Carolina ont.
put. Whether this is being used
for corn Is matter of conjecture,
but II all of it is going under
cotton it Is time tn stop these
wild claims about tremendous
reduction.
IL does seem that the farmers
should be willing to reason. Flu
ture prices must depend upon
their action in the spring. BY
holding part of the last crop,
without throwing it on the market
all at once, they have prevented
crash, even If hundreds of them
have sold quietly. But they
must do more. The spectators
in New York are no longer con-
cerned about what was raised last
they are trying to find out
how much will be planted in 1905.
If the producers will take the
common sense view they will cut
down the crop, and if they persist
in planting as much us they did
last year they must not wee,,
when they fail to get full returns
for their labor in the fall. -

Closing Week Favorable
To Farming Operations.
So Far Very Little Cotton Has
Been Planted in Alabama, Mis-
sissippl and Louisina.

Washington, April IL. Tho
following is abstract of the week
ly crop bulletin, issued by thu
weather bureau today:
The week ending April 10 WAS
very favorable for farming OPP
eralions in the central valleys and
Rocky mountains and Pacific coast
dist,ic,s, and was generally favor
able in the Atlantic coast and east
gulf States, where, however, the
latter part of the week was unsea.
sonably cool, with more or less
damaging frosts a, far south as
northern Geogia and Alabama and
the western portions of the Caro-
linas.
Very little cotton has been
planted in Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana, but planting is be :
coming general over the southern
portion Of the eastern districts
and in Texas, where germ ination
has been satisfactory. Prepara :
tions for planting are unusually
backward in the lowlnnds of Lou
iSlana and Arkansas.
In the central valleys and md
de Gulf Stale the outlook for
peaches is poor, and the frosts Of
tie 7th and Sth have lessened the
proapects in the south Atlantic
States and in the southern portion
of the middle Atlantic States,
Farther north, to the eastward of
the Mississippi river, peach buds
have not been sufficiently advanc.
ed to sustain serious injury. For
most of the other fruits the pros
yects are encouraging.
