The Cotton Crop--General
Outlook the Poorest Ever
Known.

Chicago Journal of Finance:
The Journal Of Finance, in reply
to kilograms sent out yesterday
to leading bankers of the South,
asking for information about the
condition of the cotton crop as
compared with year ago, has
received replies which indicate a
great disaster has overtaken the
cotton belt of the United States.
The cold, backward spring has
caused the poorest prospects ever
known at this time of the year in
many sections.
The weather was too dry, at
planting time, and then too cold
and now too wet for proper culti-
vation.
The worst conditions are ap-
parent In Texas, Arkansas, Lou1-
siana, Mississippi, Alabama and
Tennessee, where the crop is re.
ported from two to six weeks
later than last year. In these
States the ground is now foul and
water soaked. The plant pre-
sents a grassy appearance and is
overrun with weeds and grass.
In Texas and Louisiana mil.
lions of boil Weevil are In sight,
but it is too early for much dam
age from this insect as yet. In
Mississippi cut worms and other

In Georgia and the Carolinas
reports are unfavorable, but not
nearly so much so as in the States
further West. The crop appears
to be about two weeks late and
the average conditions are about
15 per cent below last year.
The weather in the Southwest
appears to have been colder in
May than in March.
Some of the bankers of the
Southwest estimate that this
years crop will not be more than
from so to 60 per cent of last
year.

Your Young Corn and How
to Treat it.
Progressive Farmer.

u
soil for the growing of any crop
begins with the plo wing.
This applies with especial force
to the cultivation of the corn
crop. No after cultivation can
make up for poor, slovenly plow
ing. The corn plant-and espec-
tally in the South requires a
deep we'll puiverized soil. This
thorough working of the soil, in
our Judgment, should be per
formed principally by the use of
the plow, since no other tool we
have will pulyerize the soil to so
great a depth with the same use
of horse power.
This is the reason why we plow
our corn land twice, first in the
earl y winter, so the action of the
frost may aid in the pulverizing
OF the upper portion of the fresh
ly plowed soil. Then on plow-
ing this land just before plant
ing time, this mellow portion of
the soil is turned in, and other
cloddy portions brought to the
surface, where they may be thor
oughly broken up by our surf ace
cultivators and harrows. In this
manner we secure seed bed ten
to twelve inches in depth, thor
oughly pulverized to the very
5ottona, and ;t this so;! be fairly
filed with humus we have a
good start toward q fine corn
crop. The two-horse corn plant
ers do the finest of work on these
well pu,verized soils, working
fifteen to twenty acres per day.
We always have our corn land
freshly worked just before plant
ing. Then within three or four
days after planting the cultiva.
ton proper of the corn crop be
gins by the use of the ten or fif-
teen foot smoothing harrow. We
are writing this at the noon hour,
and our three. horse team has
worked eleven acres of land since
Z O'Clock; will have % or "a
acres as smooth as a town mans
garden before night. AS soon
as we have had a shower we will
cross the fields with this same
tool and once again when the
corn plants are about two inches
high. By this treatment our
land will be perfectly clean and
in ideal condition for the plants
to make their best growth.
If the land doesn't become
packed by heavy rain we will
probably use weeder a couple
of times before starting the ten.
tooth sulky culGvator. Our soil
is rather heavy clay and while
working the corn the first time
with the cultivator we will set
the shovels to run about four
inches deep. The machine will
be equipped with the dirt guards
for the protection of the plants,
and the shovels will be held
within two inches of the row on
each side, so the fine dirt sitting
under the guards will lap, cover
ing the entire space between and
around the corn plants.

into use again within four or five

Grace Merritt, the young star who
will make her initial appearances in

Leastwise she is firm in the belief that
everything comes to him who works

Merritt also believes that the best
training school for the stage. is the
stage itself. and that but little benefit
may be obtained in the so-called dra-
matte schools.
When seen in her apartments at the
Westcott this morning Miss Merritt
said:
Now, please do not misunderstood
me, when l say that elocution lessons
are a detriment rather than an aid to
success on the stage, for we all know
many elocutionists, who have attained
the greatest success on the stage
But you asked my opinion on the sub
ject and you will have to hear me

But Miss Merritt, you will certainly
admit that we'll trained voice is of
great value. and that elocution lessons
tend TO aid the student in this direc-
tion''
Well smilingly responded the lit
tie actress you are correct insofar as
elocution lessons developing the voice
is concerned, but my opinion is that an
extended course in elocution. will teach
the student TO talk a part, and You
know that true art, is the living of u
part. Many good actor or actress
has been spoiled by the possession of
good voice. Friends and critics tell
them of their voice. until they come TO
lean almost entirely on the voice, and
what is an enyiable possession. in time
comes TO be a detriment to the owner.
They cannot be got to speak the most
ordinary sentence in natural manner
and they lose sight entirely of the fact
that the highest form Of the dramatic
art is in the sinking Of ones own per-
sonality for that of the character i'm

the snake By the tail and dragged it to
the house When the little fellow ar Il
rived at the house the snake had twice
fastened its fangs in his hand, but not
Withstanding this he refused to aban-.
