TO RAISE COTTON PRICES.

The Georgia farmers who gathered
at Fort Gaines and burned 5000 bales
of cotton hope to inspire similar sac
rifices all through the South. 1t is
actually proposed that 100000 bales
be destroyed, each state burning its
fair proportion. The purpose ls to
reduce the supply of the staple and
so put up the price.
Some years ago, as the result of a
bumper" crop. movement was
started to limit the production OF cot
ton and raise the price on the plan
that each farmer should reduce his
acreage by a certain percentage. The
result was that the prospect of better
prices led many farmers to plant
more than ever. 1t remains to be seen
whether Texas and Mississippi grow
ers will not look on Geprgia's cotton
fires as beacons of hope, and store
their own crops on the chance of a
rising market.-New York World.

stock exported does not represent one
half the value of the sugar brought in
every year from foreign lands.
Our Southern States alone could pro-
duce all our sugar, to say nothing of
the sugar possible from beets in the
North and West. The sugar from the
beet crop of 1904 amounted to 200, ,722
tons or 1000 tons less than the cane
sugar produced in Louisiana alone. Ex-
tend the sugar product as a diversified
crop to other Southern States and we
have achieved one more agricultural
triumph.
DR.. H. W. Wiley, Chemist of the De
partment of Agriculture, who has ex-
haustively investigated the sugar and
syrup possibilities of the Southern
States, says that the people of this
country are singularly i'll informed con-
corning the household value of a pure
article of cane syrup; he always keeps

bagasse, or waste, from cane mills,
using it as an absorbent to make the
molasses available as dry stock feed.
Commenting on these experiments the
Agricultural Department recently pre-
dicted that the time will come when
the manufacture of stock feeds contain
ing molasses will be a great industry.
The belief is expressed that the sugar
cane world will find in molasses feed for
live stock by-product of sugar manu-
facture as essential to its success as
is the feeding of cattle and horses to
the manufacturing distilleries in the
Northwest. One of the large sugar re-
fneries in Brooklyn, N. .,has been mix
ing molasses with the feed for it's truck
horses, and finds it not only successful
but also about 25 per cent. cheaper
than oats and hay. When properly pre-
pared, the molascuit, as the bagasse
compound has been termed, carries
with it an acceptable flavor to stock
and it has the additional value of i'm
proving the favor of any other food
with which it is mixed.
The maple tree now furnishes but a

acre as syrup, and the latter could be
made still more profitable by replacing
its manufacture by the usual crude
methods with the improved mill, after
the style of the creamery and custom
Touring mill in the North.
The farm mill with insufficient ap-
paratus gets hardly more than half the
juice, and still the farmer realizes from
$I5 to $3.50 an acre, double the amount
cotton brings.
To set the pace for the Southern
syrup maker, the Department of Agri-
culture has established an experimental
mill at Waycross, Ca, where a syrup
of high market quality and uniform
color and grade is being manufactured.
DR.. Wiley favors the dark colored
syrup for the reason that it contains
more caramel and flavor than the light
varieties. Artificial makes of syrup
are usually light and while perhaps
not injurious, they lack the flavor and
tone Of the real article.
Diversity is making gains in the
agricultural methods of the South as it
is in the North and West, and when
this improved system becomes an es-
tablished fact in our Southern States
a prosperity unknown since early days
will take hold of the country.
Experiments are being made in va
r1ous parts Of the South to utilize the

syrup and sugar. While the demand
for both these commodities has con-
stantly increased, the output from
maple trees has decreased during the
last twenty years. The trade has been
supplied only by radically adulterating
the pure goods, or by manufacturing a
product entirely from foreign materials
1t is conservatively estimated that
seven-eighths of what is sold as maple
syrup and sugar is a spurious article.
The fault does not lie with the pro-
ducers those who tap the trees and re-
duce the sap to syrup and sugar, but
with the dealers, and so-called refiners,
who buy the real article and mix and
adulterate it in ways most profitably
for themselves. The most common sub
Stitutes used in the adulteration are
other sugars and glucose with flavor
ings of vanilla or extracts from corn
cobs and stalks. Formerly there was
a good deal of maple sugar produced in
the South, but now Vermont, New
York and Ohio are the largest pro-
ducers. Attempts have been made in
the West to produce sugar from sor-
ghum cane, but the syrup can not be
successfully granulated, and so far the
manufacture has been limited to the
making of molasses for local use.

The Maple Sugar Industry.
Sugar is the only important farm

it can be proftably produced here from

100000 tons of sugar annually, or
one-fifth of the entire product Of the
world, and of this we produce only
about one third.
1t is estimated by the Department Of
Agriculture that not less than 100000
square miles of country in the Gulf
and South Atlantic States will grow
good sugar canes, region sufficient to
make all the sugar we need.

largest span in the world, exceeding
the Firth bridge in Scotland, with its

HA[[- SUPPORTS THE STOCK RAISERS
Attorney General Hanis Down Opinion New Dipping Law
Farmers May Own Their Own Tanks.

In Charles Mix county the dipping
controversy resulted in a general row
between the county inspector and cat
tie owners on the question of private
dipping tanks. Several stock owners
proceeded to carry out the dipping
order with tanks located on their own
property, which the inspector would
not allow, and finally forcibly took cat
tie from the pastures of the owners
and drove them about twenty miles to
county dipping tank and secured the
arrest OF the stock owners for refusing
to comply with the law.
The owners secured legal counsel
and will fight the cases. In the mean
time, the offending Inspector has been
removed. Attorney General Hall be-
ing called on for an opinion in regard
to the use of private dipping tanks
rendered an opinion to the following
effect:
After quoting section eight of the
dipping law which provides for the
operation Of dipping tanks, he says:
This section permits person to own
and operate a dipping tank upon max
ing application to the county auditor
and obtaining his registry as above
stated, which also includes the inspec-
ton of such tank previous to its being
operated as aforesaid. Section seven
also provides for the construction of
dipping tanks by counties, the tanks
contemplated by both sections eight
and nine, evidently are public dip
ping tanks While the statute does
not specially provide for private dip
ping tanks, can see no good reason

proved by the county cattle inspector
or other officer mentioned in section
eight, and dip his own cattle in it UNI
der the supervision of the county cat
tie inspector or his deputy without
opening the use of said tank to the

in section eight would indicate that. it

in every case that proper record be

why it should be compulsory on the
owner of tank properly constructed
under the supervision of the proper
officers to permit the cattle of others
to be dipped in it, or open it to the
public contrary to his desires. OF
course if he should see fit to open it
to the public he might not be permit
ted to discriminate between the cattle
that might be received and dipped
there, but if he merely constructs it
for his own use, and constructs it in
the manner pointed out by statute and
