THE CRISIS IS OVER
SAYS PRESIDENT MOORE
Hrom News and Observer. J

President c. G. Moore yesterday
made a ringing appeal to tine farmers
OF North Carolina to remain loyal to
the Cotton Association. He sas the cri-
sis is over and that the worst is past.
and that there remain only two fea-
lures against the cotton market: the
visible supply being somewhat ahead
Of last year. and the tal<ings by spin
ners are a little behind last yea".
These he believes Will be overcome
soon.
At the meeting Of the State Exc
cutive Committee Of the Cotton Asso-
citation on Wednesday night Presi
dent Moore was requested to issue an
address to the cotton growers, and nc
announced il yesterday as follows:
ITO the Farmers and Holders OF Cot
ton Of North Carolina:
We congratulate you upon the
steadfast position YOU have maintained
during the recent severe aud tremend-
Gus decline in the cotton market You
have shown your strength and de-
termination in q way heroic ana adj
lnlrable. You knew your lesson, and
we'll YOU have recited ito Europe
the Continent. and Wall Street.
The recent decline Of $50 points
came ABOUT on account OF q heavy Tong
interest in both futures and spot COZ
ton that had accumulated in New
ork and New Orleans. Southern peO-
pie too, from most eVey nook and cor
ner had bought futures and al high
price. Wall Street, great scheming
giant that it IS, knew that everybody
had bought cotton. and no one knew
il better than the brilliant Mr. Price,
who was at the helm. His terrific
and persistent selling. accompanied
by that of his hungry bear following
finally succeeded in causing New Or
leans and other bulIish factors TO De
rJiy Tot
blocks Of cotton have been throVn
upon the market as though they wera
only pebbles. The people who let go
were bullish at u 1-2 cents-tod8y
they are bears. The bears Of 1W3
weeks ago are bulls today. But The
crisis is over. You have probably
seen the worst. During the onslaught

bit Of your cotton and we heartily
commend YOU for your action You
have done Well
But let US urge YOU to hold your
cotton at home for just three weeks
longer. Do not sell a bale in this time
and by the first Of March YOU viii be
gin to sec 4 uch better market. At
present there are only two features
against the market-the visible sup
ply IS a little ahead Of last year, IN :
the takinGs by sDinnors are somewhat
behind last year. but We confid ent-
IS expect these unfavorablc features
t2 be overcome in Just q short period.
We, therefore. beseech YOU most
strongly to maintain your present
holding attitude till March 1st. b.
lieving that YOU will achieve a won
derful victory
''Remember about 5000, 900 bales
have already come into sight. that it
is eight months before we get new
cotton from the fields, that the bales
have been counted and they point =
10. .250, 900. You readily see that in.
Guiding the amount brought from last
year. that the supply and demand are
near together.
"The manufacturing products are
following the raw material s7inacrS
are seemingly satisfied With their
profits. This is about the statistical
position of cotton today.
'NoW. farmers, don't be routed.
Don't be alarmed. The whole South.
merchants and bankers, are behind
YOU. Stand by your state organization.
We need your cooperation to win
not only our bales OF cotton but OR
honor and our integrity are at STAKE.
eve are expecting receipts to de
crease one hundred thousand bales
per week from last year ia the nca
future. Spectators and gamblers have
no confidence in this decline. They
simply want their margins. Tencn-
beT that we saved between the field
and the sDeculator over a million o.
dollars in 1905.

Sheep Raising Profitable
By 7. Z. M. McCracken.

Raising sheep ought to be a lead
ing industry in North Carolina. 1t
pays we'll when properly conducted.
The WaynesVille Courier contains a
very interesting article by a man VINO
has made it pay. The Courier says edi-
torially:
We have often thought that there
was entirely too much nisdirected en-
crgy expended here in Western North
Carolina on the Old hill sides: plough
ing and hoeinG. and hoeing and
ploughing. and gathering nothing;
when half that energy properly and in
telligently directed in grass -groWing g
and sheep-raisins. in apple culture,
and the poultry business and dairying
on a small scale, would bring to our
farmers-oUr little farmers-a hand
some living as compared with their
present returns. Let the farmers th!nr
about these things and then act on
their Judgment
The communication is as follows:
Sheep Raising Very Profitable.
Editor Couri@r:-Will you please al
low me space in your valuable paper
to answer a few inquiries in regard to
sheep. There are a good many per
sons wanting to know something about
the Ram bouilett sheep. They are of
the Nerino family. originally from
Spain: have been bred in this county
for almost a century; they are the
heaviest sheareTs of any other breed
Of the finest wool: they are the hardi-
est. freest from disease of any known
breed: viii bring lambs any time in
the year. There is but one other breed
that will do that, the Dorset; they Will
bring lambs as carly but are not as
fine wool sheep. nor as heavy shear
ers. I began seven or eiGht years so
! with three sheep that We're imported
here from Orchard Lake. Mich. that
! cost $3.50. [ find them better suited TO
our needs than any sheep ] ever had.
They are a short heavy boned heavy

tent. bat the sale OF manufactured

Raw silk is by far the
most valuable export, $50
100000 worth having been
sent abroad last year Three-fifths
Of the entire export goes to the United
States, the remainder to Europe, with
France as the largest European pur-
chaser. AS SIS. 100000 worth OF silk
fabrics went abroad. also, as against
$5,000,000 worth Of tea and $4, GOO, 600
worth of rice. it Will be seen that the
cultivation of the silk worm and the
mulberry tree is extensively carried
on. The silk worms are kept indoors
and the leaves brought in TO them.
When put outdoors the silk worms are
deVOureG by birds.
Fruits grow here in great variety.
We have found everywhere apples of
excellent quality, raised in the north
ern part of the islands while the south
ern islands produce oranges, bananas
and pineapples. The ample tree WAS
imported from America 35 years ago:
now apples are exported to China and
Siberia. The most popular orange IS
the tangerine or kid glove orange, as
it is sometimes called: many of these
are imported.
There is a Kind Of q fruit called ,he
ban-tan. grown on the island Of i\yu
shu. It looks something like the grape
fruit: but grows considerably larger
and has a thicker skin; the meat is
pink in color. sWeeter and less juicy
than the grape fruit. Pears grow here;
one variety looks like a ruSSet apple
in shape and color. Peach trees are
sometimes trained as We train grape
vines on an arbOr so that the orchard
seems to have flat roof of foliage.
They have here two persimmOns Is
large as apples and as solid. We found
these on the table in all parts of the
island and there are several varieties.
The grape is Gu tiVatcd in Japan. but
we did not see graDe vines in such pro

The basis Of japanese industry is

The crops are being harvested, they
resemble golden stairs. The men and
