ters quoted, torrential rains have
covered the entire cotton belt. We
have been struggling for three years
to get the situation in our hands. 1t
seems as if Providence has given
US the opportunity to realize our
hope. From the present outlook
and from the principles involved, it
does seem as if the farmers and mer-
chants would refrain from selling
cotton for fall delivery at price
which neither the outlook of o crop
nor the present price of the manu-
factured goods warrants. So far as
the Southern Cotton Association in
it's relation to the cotton of the
world is concerned the majority of
us do not propose to take advantage
of a cotton famine and the disastrous
scarcity of cotton to force the price
to warrantable heights; no more
than We propose when seasons are
p:opit!oas and the supply overabun-
ant to allow the price to be disas-
trously depressed. AS have often
said before l want this to be square
deal. want our share of the profits
that We are entitled 10 il being the
source of supply for the worlds fibre.
oRANGEBURG IN LINE.
esterday I was at St. Matthews,
and found that their warehouse is
practically completed, and Orange
burg county is still in line, doing her
duty. On August 9th they will
he ve q meeting of all the counties to
go into the qestion of preparing for
the coming crop in detail. I shall
be present at this meeting, and hope
every farmer in Orangeburg county
and every business man that can
possibly be present will be there 60
that we can start unitedly in our CO.
operation as to the progress of our
work.
"We have on hand q number of
books of membership certificates,
bearing the seal of the association
and gotten up in attractive form;
which I hope the presidents of the
different counties will supply them
selves with, 80 as to furnish each
member paying his dues certificate,
and keeping list of their names.
81 hope every county in the State
will continue an active campaign of
organization along the line of organi-
zation including every business in
terest, because every business inter-
est is to be benefited by our success
,, and adversely affected by our failure.

At
the
w aiiSt
}. G. csfsrs as!s Some Pie.

Washington, June 6.-Announoe-
ment was made at the White House
Tuesday that John G. Capers, of
South Carolina, will be appointed
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
until December l, when Pearl
Wight, of New Orleans, to whom
the place was rendered some time
ago when Commissioner Yerkes re.
signed, takes charge of the office.
While it has been known for some
time that the President was looking
about to secure man for the place
temporarily, Mr.. Wight having made
it known that he could not assume
the duties of the office before De-
cember, Capers's appointment came
as surprise, as it has generally been
thought here that since his failure to
secure a reappointment last year as
District Attorney at the hands of
the President, he was down and out.
1t appears now that he had strong
backing in his appointment as Col
lector of Revenue, and while it can
not be definitely stated from what
source that influence came, it is
thought to have been secretary Cor
telyou, of the Treasury. When
Capers failed of reappointment as
! District Attorney it was through
Cortelyou's influence, to large ex-
tent, that he kept his hold on the
Post Office Department, of which Mr..
Cortelyou was then the head. Pa
tronage matters that could have been
placed in other hands were left with
Capers to handle and his recon-
mendations in postal affairs and
other Federal appointments have
generally been followed.
When Mr.. Capers was seen, to.
night by the News and Courier COR
respondent and asked for q state
ment concerning the appointment he
said: 81 did not know anything of
appointment until late this after
noon when friend rang mo up and
told me that the President had ap-
pointed me to fill the vacancy as
Collector of Internal Revenue until
Mr.. Wight takes charge. Of course,
/ am especially pleased at the conf
dence that has been reposed in me
by the President and will qualify
tomorrow"
TAKES OATH OF OFFICE.
Mr.. Capers took the oath of office
yesterday and Immediately entered
upon the discharge of his duties.

e Poor Outlook for Cotton.

( President e. D. Smith, of the
Cotton Association, on last. Satur-
day gave out an interesting synopsis
of reports of State presidents. The
exas report is delightfully."- discour-
yging. Mr.. Smiths statement fol-
lows:
"Having written to the State
presidents as to the condition of the
crop and the outlook, l want to give
to the public a few replies that have
come to me from men whose stand.
ing in their community attests their
integrity; therefore, what they say
may be relied upon. ....
soRkY OUTLOOK IN TEXAS.
"From Henderson, Texas, j. G.
Hickey, president of the First Ma
tional Bank, writes, under date of
May 9th, as follows: The outlook
in Texas is sorry indeed for cotton.
East Texas has reduced her acreage
fully forty per cent and many farm
ers are still plowing up cotton and
planting peas and corn; many have
planted three times and still have d
sorry stand. The boil weevil is here
in great numbers, and many farmers
have no hopes of making any cotton
b, all. So you can see why they are
replanting in something else. Mid
die Texas-the black land district
has nearly all been replanted, and
the crop will be necessarily late. I
talked with some farmers from Ellis
county last Thursday and they told
me they had to plant the second
time and are not done planting yet.
Further west, in Mitchell, Coleman,
Taylor and Tom Green, and that
whole section, have had no rain since
December, and consequently could
not plant corn nor cotton. If they
make any in that section it is yet to
be planted. South Texas was forced
to replant, and as g consequence, the
crop is late, with much complaint
of boil weevil. In my section they
the boil weevil-are puncturing
!. the squares on all early cotton
Farmers told me Saturday that on
early planting they find three OF
four to the stalk. So the general
outlook in Texas is really bad.
MAY RAISE HALF CROPS.
"T. G. Long, from Jackson, Tenn,
under date of May 2Sth, writes in
part as follows: The outlook for q
cotton crop in Texas is extremely
Z. The entire crop was planted
over, and it is not yet up. Under
very favorable conditions, we may
raise half crop. This morning
mercury down to DO degrees, and
frost visible. You can draw your
own conclusions.'
"These two letters are in keeping

G arolina, Nolth Carolina and a por.

badly affected that I had many hemor-

Ind. 81 took treatment with several
physicians without any benefit. / then

There is much talk made about the
roots OF alfalfa penetrating the tough
est subso l.. No doubt they will il
they get the right kind Of start but
getring that start is where the trou
BILE comes in. To man who has spent
$50 to SIS trying TO get field where
there is gumbo subsoil set 10 alfalfa
and theu faildd, the bacteria talk and
scientific methods sound hollow and
far away. A crop that has to be
nursed like a house plant to get a
start, isn't naturally adapted to the
soil where it is being tried,
1t has been our experience that you
can raise good crop OF clover on any
eastern Kansas land if you will first
give the ground very light coating
of manure. You can raise good crop
without, but much better crop with
the manure. BY light coating we
mean about the amount used TO the
acre. Our plan is to spread this light
coating of manure 10 the fall, raise
one crop OF corn on IL, then put the
land into clover the second year. 10
this way we have raised clover that,
so fasteners tell US, beats everything
they ever saw growing b ick there.

The first spel:z we bought cost us
10 cents bushel. This was bough &
of a farmer too, but the seed was
scarce then, hence the price. Now 1t
has a value based a little higher than
oats. A bushel weighs 40 pounds, or
is supposed to, but when threshed dry
emf ugh is hulled so 1t really weights
more. In reality for feeding, IS pounds
speltz are worth ABOUT as much as 30
pounds OF oats. This is for horses,
aud is based only on our own expert
fence. Probably there are a nambsr
who would disagree on this.

Sol that Is better left unplowed Is
. sandy nature. South of the creek,
on this farm is soil Of this nature and

to pillow II until a short time before

is entirely different. 1t Is stiff, heavy
clay and gumbo, and the frost action
on this is just what Is needed. Many
frams In eastern Kansas are divided
