In speaking Of the general backward
ness of the spring season Mr. Gilman
was very hopeful. The farmers. he
said, We're not at all dismayed by the
cold weather. and when the time comes
will be ready to 60 at the work of
planting with rush, and all are con-
fident Of raising good crops. The po-
tato crop will b a big one and Mr.
Gilman stated that the number Of po-
tatoes to be planted this spring will be
larger than ever before. The farmers
are closing out their potatoes at high
prices in all sections Of the State, and
it was surprising, he said, after the
price had been raised, to find how many
farmers could find - or 100 bushels Of
potatoes i'll their bins when before the
rise the bins were supposed to be
empty.
A an indication Of the increased
amount Of work which is to be done
this year in the way Of crop raising Mr..
Gilman said that up in his section fully
one-third more chemical and com
merCial fertilizers had been bought this
year than last.

New Pesos Discounted.

Washington.-.L Legislation will be
needed, according to advices received
by the Bureau Of Insular Affairs, in
order to enforce the circulating of
the new Philippine pesos which are
being issued by the Bureau Of the
Mint at the request Of the insular ad-
ministration. Chinese traders are
manipulating the new currency, ex-
changing it only at discount for
the old pesos. The discount runs
from 10 to 20 per cent, and in the re-
moter provinces is reported to go as
high as 40 per cent. An act direct
ed against this practice # dis
counting the new peso will probably
be passed by the Philippine Commits
sion as the suggestion Of the insular
treasurer.

Lightning's Franks.

Augusta, Ga,-The storm which
swept over Augusta did much dam
age to property and inealculable dam
age to the fruit and shade trees. It
also played some queer pranks. One
bolt of lightning which set fire to
the cotton in the card rooms in the
Augusta cotton factory was followed
by another which turned on the au-
tomato sprinkler system, quickly ex-
tinguishing the fire by flooding all
parts of the building. Large quaint
ties of manufactured goods were ruin
ed and the damage to machinery will
be very heavy. Telephone, telegraph,
electric lighting and street car COM
panies suffered heavily and sewers
and drains were greatly damaged by
the flood Of water.

Jordan Pessimistic.

Atlanta, Ga.-President Harvey
Jordan returned from tour of the
cotton belt and declared that while
conditions of the growing crop has
improved. August will be a critical
month. He said:
Although the crop has improved in
the past thirty days, it is still four
weeks late and it will go into August
but will not be matured. This will
make August the most critical period.
Adverse conditions in that month and
September and early October frosts
will reduce the crop. Mill men are
saying that the prices will be higher.
| cannot see any higher prices for
cotton at this time under existing cir
cumstances.
Mr.. Jordan said that Southern far
mers are coming to realize the value
of weather bulletins.
