Got II 81 cents for His "FYOrO-
dOrd' cotton.

Mr.. II. j. McIlwain sold on
this market Tuesday a bale OF
cotton of the Florodora variety
for l24 cents per pound. The
price of ordinary cotton that day
was | 1 cents. 1t is claimed bv
some that the yield of the Floro
dora is lighter than that of other
kinds of cotton, but Mr.. Mel vain
says that such has not been his
experience, that he makes as
much "FlorodOra" TO the acre as
he has ever made with any other
variety of cotton. In fact, he
says he is so well pleased with it
that he would continue to plant
"Florodora" even if it did not
command better price than the
ordinary staple.
Mr.. McIlwain is now selling
to other farmers some of his Flo
rodora seed, which he has been
advertising in The News for some
time.

IRON ORE LIMITED.
Wsrld Likely to Run Short Inside Of
Century.

Washington, March She werId's
supply Of iron viii be exhausted in 100
years. This is the prophecy, supported
By ststistics, contained in report by
Consul General Mason et Paris, which
has been made public BY the depart
lents Of commerce and labor. If ths
present rate of consumption is main
tanned. he says, we are likely 10 run
short Of iron inside Of century. The
world has only 10000, 900 900 tons Of
iron ore available. Germany possesses
twice az much as the United States, and
Russia and France esch 400, GOO 900 tons
more. The consumption Of the United
States il placed at 80 500 900 tons, which
is more than a third Of the worlds total
consumption. Consul General Aason's
figures are based largely on the report
Of the Swedish geological survey.
OF the worlds workable iron ore de.
posts, be said, the United States pos
sesses only about one-ninth. The depos-
its Of the lake districts of America win
be exhausted within half century ard
the Hessba deposits VIII not last 25
years. He suggests that American man.
ufaeturers should look the situation in
the face squarely, and in the future
make arrangements TO obtain their sup
ply Of iron ore from other countries.
This be points out depends largely upon
the transportation problem.
Vessels from Europe in this trade, be
shews, must be assured OF an adequate
carlo for the return trip. Coal is the
only product which meets the situs-
ton, and in this respect the United
States has an advantage, for our coal
deposits are larger than those Of any
other country. France viii face a fuel
problem within % years, in his opinion,
and all Europe stands in need Of Amsri-
can coal.
@The time viii doubtless come" con.
cludes Consul General Mason, when the
most Of, If not all, European countries
will prohibit the export Of native coal
except to their own colonies. The i'm.
ported fuel supplies Of France, Italy,
Spain and Scandinavia will then have
to come mainly from beyond TIE Allan
tic. 1t win be strange, indeed, If Amer.
lean foresight shall fail to recognize
the opportunity which time vii ripen
and the immutable laws Of demand
and surprise will offer to American en-
terprise."

Germany, It Is understood, accepts
France and Spain as having the officers

france accepts international control in
principle, undertaking to supply sde-
quate guarantees that the police shall
not be national in character II is the
specific form Of these guarantees that
