Alcohol For Earn pnuer.

The introduction of power upon the
farm is steadily increasing, and among
the latest sources of power for this
purpose alcohol is commanding wide
attention. This material is already
coming into use in Europe, where its
application to a great variety of pur-
poses in reducing hand labor and elm
mating drudgery has been demonstrate
ed. Its convenience, safety and clean
illness commend it and especially the
possibility of its cheap production upon
the farm. Alcohol motors have been
perfected and machinery for distillinR
improved, and the German government
has encouraged the industry by remov-
ing the taxes from the product used for
technical purposes. 1t is reported that
raw alcohol is produced in that coun-
try from potatoes at 10 cents a gallon
by processes so simple as to be within
the reach of farmers. Already there is
demand in this country for the removal
of the taxes from alcohol used for tech
nical purposes, the present revenue
to nearly fourteen times the
cost Of manufacture.

As reported by an exchange, Presi

Cotton association has said:
The proposition to tie up 100000
bales of this crop and hold it for high
er prices in the face of an already es-
tablished short crop and unprecedented
consumption is well under way and
will prove successful. Already more
than 100000 bales have been volunta-
rily pledged by wire, and the signed
pledges are now beginning to come in
by every mail. The whole south and
every cotton section is enthusiastic and
determined.
In connection with our holding
movement the entire machinery of the
Southern Cotton association will get
to work in the next ten days pledging
the cotton growers of the south to a
acreage for 1906. The associa-
ton is a hundred times stronger now
than it was last spring and has the
full confidence and support of several
hundred thousand farmers. We will
begin thus early to hold down the cot
ton acreage in order to give the plant
srs full opportunity to make their ar
