Corn in Alabama.

The department of agriculture esti-
mates the corn crop of 1906 at 2,SS1,-
100000 bushels, or an average yield
per acre of 30.2 bushels. This is con-
sidered a high average for the entire
country.
It certainly would be high average
in Alabama, for the department says
the Alabama farmers made in 1906
but sixteen bushels to the acre. Now,
why should Alabama farmers make but
sixteen bushels per acre when Mlchl-
gan makes thirty-seven, Indiana thirty
nine. Wisconsin forty-one and Ohio
forty-two and a half bushels per acre?
is the soil of Alabama that much
poorer than the soil of the states men
toned? It is not believable. We make
about one-half of the country's average
product per acre. Is our soil weak and
unpromising? Are our valleys unpro'
ductive? Is the Black Belt losing Its
grip?
All these questions should be an
swered with an emphatic mo" The
plain. unvarnished truth is, they have
better farmers in the states mentioned.
Our lands are fertile, but our corn cul'
tiyators are not slillful. They either
do not know how to grow corn in Ala
bama. or else they lack energy and
enterprise There is more in the man
than in the land anywhere, and if our
farmers would study the corn problem
they would speedily make more than
sixteen bushels of corn per acre. II
they would grow corn as skillfully as
thew grow cotton, the product in this
state would be doubled without the
doubling of the acreage.
True, we do better in corn growing
than Georgia or South Carolina, but we
should do as we'll as Tennessee, and
she makes twenty-eight bushels per
acre. Let our farmers keep Tennes-
sees record before them this year.
There is no reason why they cannot
equal it.

Standpatters Becoming lonesome.

When Speaker Cannon standpatter,
made up the ways and means commit
tee of the present Congress, he put on
1t twelve republicans and six demo-
Gratis. All of the republicans are stand
patters, except Mccall of Massachu-
sets, who, seeing which way the wind
was blowing, became revisionist. The
six democrats were revisionists except
ing Robertson of Louisiana. Mr.. I'm
derwood is one of the five revision
democrats.
What happened to these men? In
the first place, the democratic stand
patter from Louisiana was rejected in
the primary. Not even the sugar plant
ers could stomach him. OF the repub-
lican standpatters, Grosvenor, Bah
cock and McCleary were defeated, and
six of the others encountered heavy
ties. The votes cast for Payne of New
York and Dalzell of Pennsylvania were
cut down to an extent that made them
anticipate defeat. Only one revisionist
was returned by normal republican
plurality.
In nearly every state significant
warnings were given that the sacred
tariff has lost it's SAVIOR in the public
taste. This is President Roosevelt
opportunity. Despite their control of
the next Congress the republicans got
a jolt that makes them feel uneasy
over the tariff problem. Scarcely one
of the revisionists retains his backbone
intact, and 1t is believed that when
Speaker-to-be Cannon fills the vacan-
cies on the ways and means committee
he will not select notorious standpat-
terS

Cotton Yarn Scarce.

There is almost a yarn panic among
the looms of Philadelphia and other
busy weaving centers. The demand for
yarns is unprecedentedly heavy, and
the supply from the south is light be
cause of labor conditions. Pickers are
needed in the cotton fields, and spin
ners are needed in the southern cotton
mills. The yarn famine is expected to
last to the end of the calendar year
at least.
The northern mills are looking to the
south more and more each succeeding
year for a supply of yarn, and the
south could do the work if it could
turn this way Il portion of the great
stream of immigration that is pouring
in to this country. If we could secure
one-seventh of the stream, our mills
and waste places would soon be filed,
for one-seventh of the present volume
of immigration would give us 5000
whites year.
The south should endeavor to spin
its crop. No raw cotton should be ex-
ported, but first of all we should ell
deayor TO spin the four millions of
bales consumed in this country. When
once we are in position and condition
TO spin that much cotton, the step to
weaving is short one, and so far that
matter is the task of spinning the en-
tire crop. In Georgia and the two Car
oinas the big task is well started
and it will go on gathering size ant
strength. always provided the labor
supply becomes easy again. Just a
present the labor scarcity does not per
NIT the southern mills to reach theil
maximum, and the northern mills are
therefore yarn hungry.

SMILE AWAY THE YEARS!
. Duluth Herald.

From the Duluth Herald.
The local news in the Herald last night
contained a brief story of the arrest OF
Young man for striking an individual who
was described as IAN old man of fifty.
That phrase must have stirredthe hearts
of men of fifty who will consider 1t news
that they are "old men," 1t is true that
to those in the thoughtless twenties fifty
wears looks like ''old age" but 1t is
also true that no man has any business
to be old at fifty.
The explanation of the young culprit
whom he was arrested throws much light
upon the use OF the term.
''He had such q sour look on his face
that l couldn't help taking poke at
him. said the young man who had
assaulted one of twice his years.
Don't you understand it perfectly now?
Haven't you had the same thought?
Doesn't u sour gloomy visase arouse
something of the same feeling in your
own breast? Very likely YOU don't give in
to the impulse. That is not the way to
reform humanity.
1t is much better to bid your friend
whose face suggests a perpetual MOUTH
ful of sour pickles to cheer up and try
to smile

AN OLD MEDICINE.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Ground oyster Shells" said the ply
stefan, as he squeezed a lemon over his
blue points, were used as a medicine
by the medieval doctors-a medicine for
the ricketts, and scrofula."
How absurd!'
Absurd? Not at all. oyster shells con-
tain lime, nitrogen, iron, sulphur, mag
nesia, bromide phosporic acid and iodine.
Those are all excellent tonics.
''You know how hens eat ground oys-
ter shells and thus produce eggs with
good, thick, strong shells? Well. as tho
oyster shell powder acts on esg-shells SO
| have no doubt 1t acted in the middle
ages on the bending. crumblng bones Of

ness into them.

with an authorized capital of 100000,
to build warehouses, buy up cotton at
reasonable prices, and to regulate In
other legitimate ways the marketing of
the crop. The company is to be man
aged by thirty-flve directors, who shall
each season estimate cotton prices and
endeavor TO maintain them. Should
the directors believe cotton to be worth
more than the Wall street price, they
are to buy all proffered cotton at a
fair price, and hold it for a rise.
Final action was deferred, however,
to the January meeting in Birmingham,
and in the meanwhile the warehouse
plan should be well discussed. Action
will be taken for or against at the con-
vention to be held in this city, and all
possible light should be turned upon it.
The price of a share is to be five dol
lars, thus showing that it is the inten-
ton of the association to ask all farm
ers to become stockholders in the
gigantic scheme.
One thing is certain-precautio
should be taken against letting the
proposed company fall into the hands
of capitalists, for it would then be but
an addition to the gambling side in
cotton transactions. 1t is not easy to
see how the stock can in the long run
be kept out of the hands of the specu-
lative capitalists. So long as the farm
ers hold the stock, all would be well,
but when the farmers sell from time to
time their stock, then will come trouble
and speculation and all the other ills
that now afflict the cotton belt.
The convention will be well attended,
and the delegates will no doubt come
here equipped to discuss the proposed
company. Men of great capacity and
great insight will be needed at the
head of it, and the company should not
be organized unless the best men in
each central community can be secured.
There are fine possibilities in the prop
osition, and perhaps they will crystal
lie if conditions and safeguards are
rendered favorable at the January con-
yention.

Yet ineivility is the exception there and

cant fact that the further you get from
New York the more courteous the people
become. 1t is the spirit of gross and hard
materialism that dominates and prevails
from the highest to the lowest.

An Earnest Anneal.

Adolf Dahm-Petersen, the we'll known
and able musician. has issued the follow
ing earnest appeal for most worthy
cause:
Edward Mcdowell. the greatest conf
poser America has ever produced, has for
some time been an intellectual wreck his
mind impaired through overwork in such
a manner that 1t is beyond question he
will never be able to work again.
'MaeDowell was born in December, ISL,
and is, therefore, nearly 40 years of age
a man with the possibility of a long
physical life with impaired mind before
him.
"The Mendelssohn Glee club of New
York has undertaken to raise fund
which will make him comfortable, and 1t
would seem that every person interested
in the progress of culture in America, but
more especially in our musical progress,
should be glad to contribute his or her
share.
Let music lovers of this city, nay of
this whole district, stand together for
onoe to help place our greatest composer
beyond want.
Contributions may be paid to the I'M
dersigned at the Forbes Piano company,
1909 Third avenue, or may be sent to him
by mail. Public acknowledgment will be
made of all money received.
