Auto Contest on Labor Day.

An automobile contest between
Barney Oldield and Charles Christman,
the champion speed driver of Nevada,
may be the attraction in Goldfeld on the
morning of Labor Day instead of the
widely heralded bull fight. An informal
gathering of the members of the Gold
field Athletic Club was held last week
to consider the matter. Hundreds of
letters of protest from preachers, Young
Mems Christian associations and Ladies'
Benevolent societies have been received
by Tex. Richard since the announce
ment of the proposed contest between
toreadors and bulls. Although no de-
finite action was taken, it was the feel
ing of the prominent men present that
to hold the bull fight in the face of such
decided opposition would be unwise.
Christman's challenge to 0ldfield was
sent out Saturday. 1t is proposed to
hold the automobile contest on a fiat
stretch of desert, eleven miles in length
and fully four miles in width, which lies
a little more than five miles from the
town. Christman is a Swede. who built
an S0-horsepower car according to his
own designs about four months ago,
On a trip from Tonopah to GoIdfeld
recently with Battling" Nelson as a
passenger, Christman covered the 81
miles of desert road, with grades in
places of almost rs per cent, in the
record time 444 minutes with five pas
sengers besides himself in the car.
Christman is backed by L. M. Sullivan,
Tex. Richard, l.. L. Patrick, Ole Elliott
and several other prominent men. They
have agreed to put up any amount from
5000 to $40, 900 for the race.

FIRE IS SERIOUS

On the night of the 22d a serious fire
broke out in the assay Office of the
Mohawk-Alpine Mining Company, which
resulted in the complete destruction OF
that building and also of the superin-
tendent's and managers offices and
dwelling houses. All the mine records
and a large number of extremely valu-
able maps and drawings were destroyed
along with a very valuable library,
drawing instruments, clothing and per-
sonal effects belonging to Nh. Klampt,
he superintendent of the mine. The
loss to the company in plant and build
ings will, all told, amount to a total of
nearly So, 900. Work has already begun
on new buildings.
On the 21st James Whitman, the COM
pany's bookkeeper at the mine, met
with an accident that resulted in a
broken leg. In an effort to shut the
front door in the teeth of a very strong
wind, Mr.. Whitman ~overbalanced, fell
backwards of the veranda and broke his
right leg. Fortunately DR.. Harper
happened to beat the mine at that time,
and he was soon on the spot and sue
ceeded in setting Whitman's leg Sc
satisfactorily that the patient was left
resting comfortably. Unluckily, how
ever, the fire necessitated Whitman's
removal next day, but it was accomp-
lished without causing the injured man
much pain and it is not thought that his
recovery will be seriously retarded by
the circumstance.

DOUBLING THE COTTON CROP.
Not Nv Increasing the Acreage But
BY Improving the Plant
and Staple.

Some very startling results have
been achieved by the department Of
agriculture in improving American cot
ton. With the cotton crop of the Unit.
ed States reaching an annual value oil
nearly $500, 000, 900, it Is easy to see
that the man who can make it worth
four or five cents a pound more to the
grower will put few dollars Of spend
Ing money into the pockets of the
southern planters.
This Improvement OF the crop has
been realized, and there appears nc
reason why in ten years from now the
whole Of the cotton belt should not be
growing a longer staple cotton worth
on the average of four and one-halt
cents 4 pound more than the present
crop. OF course, this millenial condi-
ton Of things will not be altogether
realized. That there will be decided
and general advance in the value OF
the crop as the result Of work already
done by the agricultural department is
certain. But there are always the fac
tors of ignorance, Indifference and pref
udice to be reckoned with, and that
will hold down the grand total Of the
advance.
This Is human nature. Otherwise
every one would be raising thorough
bred stock, cats, and chickens, which
cost no more to feed and rear them than
scrubs, but everyone does not breed
thoroughbreds, whether they be dogs
or cows, and so it is certainty that
when the average of the cotton crop
is vastly improved by the use of bet
ter seed there will be a large number
Of planters who are sticking to the old
methods and complaining because they
find it hard 10 make living
The department Of agriculture has
however, by several years of persistent
work, bred from the old varieties OF
cotton raised In the south several new
strains of cotton that. while having all
the desirable qualities Of the old types,
produce staple that is almost a halt
longer. 1t is just one branch Of the
general industry Of plant breeding. and
the result, as shown by the cotton itself
combed out in feecy whiteness on a
black card is a striking object lesson
In the possibilities of plant breeding.
The department, in the course Of its
experiments, has handled thousands OF
samples and hundreds of thousands Of
individual plants in making the selec.
tons that are now considered good
enough to be sent out as new fixed
types.
Outsiders d not realize that an
eighth Of an inch on the length of the
fiber in q cotton boil means cent a
pound additional on the value Of the
crop Now by careful breeding and Sc
lection the department. Of agriculture
has produced cotton that runs from
three-quarters Of an inch to an inch and
4 quarter longer than the parent plants
from which It was produced.

HERE AND THERE.

Tall oat grass Is very popular IN
Europe as a meadow grass, but is not
recommended for pasture. 1t does well
in the southern states, where it makes
hay and is good for winter grazing.
The evergreen variety Of broom.
corn is the most popular In the broom
corn district. It will thrive where corn
or sorghum will. It will resist drought
better than corn. A rich, loamy soil
is its delight.
The North Carolina experiment
station has been experimenting on thu
yield of corn. Rows three and ha1
feet apart, corn stalks four feet apart
in rows produced 24.7 bushels poi
acre. Rows four by four feet produced
22.8 bushels per acre.
If the reader is extending his farm
fencing, II he will turn the top Of tree
downward when he sets his posts In
the ground, such posts will last twice
as long as posts set like they grew.
The posts thus reversed have not the
power Of absorbing the water.
In planting grasses for pasture the
quantity Of roots to the natural plant
is a question for consideration. The
roots that endure the tramping Of stock
will make the most durable pasture.
The greater the number Of seed or va
riety the better the pastuage.

representative of the bureau Of animal
industry, has returned from an tnspec.

IMMIGRATION.
Some of the Reasons why the TIDE
"A Of Immigration Should He
Turned Southwark.


the tide of immigration southwark, and
while I'VE may be thought to. DO
wrong" we give the following reasons
for the faith that is within u.s."
l. We want more labor in the south,
and immigration furnishes the quickest
way Of securing an adequate supply to
develop our varied resources.
2. The more people we have-th0
better roads-more churches and
schools-the better all our social advan-
tages in the country. -
3. The more people-the better mar
ket We have for all our production. One
hundred people will give you 100
chances to make sale; 1000 people
swiftly increases your chances up to
1000.
4. The southern states can amply
support 1900 population to the square
mile, and we do not average 30. Hence
it will take one thousand years to reach
our capacity.
s. Increased population means in-
creased land values, and farmer is no
poorer with only 100 acres of land
worth $4,000 than he would be with
1000 acres Of land worth only SIC, 900.
6. These immigrants will help to di-
versify our farming and increase our
resources.
Z. We have both the power and the
laws to control as many as can coma
within our gates and we can asslmilato
several hundred thousand year, with
out any great shock to our social sys.

8. We have nothing against the no
grove wish him well-but we want
to see the white race in the south 100
to /. This will be the best solution
of the much-discussed race problem.
9. Our country has been settled by
immigration, and we can see no valid
reason for denying to others those priv
ileges that our forefathers enjoyed. and
which now mean so much to us.
10. These foreigners can not get our
lands without paying US for them. So
we will not be robbed. It Is true they
can make more out Of the land than
we are making: but they will be slim.
illus to us in this respect
We could give hundreds Of instances
showing the value Of immigration; but
will content ourselves with one that
comes under our observation to-day. A
Greek came by our little farm, and see
ing our vineyard he stopped to talk
with us. We learned that he was a
merchant in Atlanta, and was interest
ed in store with his brother in AL
bany, Ca; but he had just purchased so
acres of land near us for $3.50, and
was going to put it in grapes He
said he would bring another brother
from Greece to stay on the farm. We
asked him how he would plant his
grapes. He replied: "In six-foot rows.
three feet apart; would pr,lne them so
as to have large vine about two feet
high, with. four branches cut back to
three feet. Would not have any stakes
or trellis," and he added that he would
raise many more grapes to the are
than we would, which no doubt Is true:
