manufactured III other sections of th,
country. Our cotton crop to the amonn
OF seventy or more million dollars pc
annmm is nearly all shipped away il
the bale to be made into goods in New
England and the North in general. Thes,
two items alone have lost to the Stat,
an amount almost beyond concepion. be-
cause the manufacturing was not done
here at home, Magnificent oak lumber
that brought the Mississippi millmar
not more than $50 per thousand feet is
sent North and cut into thin vcnccrq
and glued to furniture and shipped bacl;
here for use at a price doubled more than
ten times One thousand feet of inch
board cut into ycnecrs will make 16 OO0
iect, and the price doubles up in pro-
portion, The man who cuts this lumber
INTO thin slices and faces furniture with
it gets more than $500 per thousand
feet, while the Mississippi mllman only
gets $50 for The same material The
increase in price on cotton is even
greater President Clarke, of the Cot
ton Association, forcibly illustrates this
fact in his talk to the farmers. He com.
monccs by stating that the Mississippi
farmer raises bale of cotton and sells

Prof. Lloyd, of the A. and NJ. College,
recently gave out the following results
of experiments with cotton plants TO dc.
tcrminc the distance between plants
and rows giving the largest yield The
largest yield in Mississippi was for
plants four feet between rows and
eighteen inches between plants; in Geor-

rows four feet apart and twelve inches
between plants, while in Alabama the
best was from three and onehalf foot
rows and eighteen inches between plants.
