can succeed III establishing any nnanimity of
purpose or action among planters. Now there
IS no one able or competent to sny the do
cislve word IN such matters of this Kind: if Won
go to Government, you cannot expect tint
they shall be versed in such matters. IT wonld
therefore be very beneficial indeed TO have
such q general Expert, 1t has been said. II

expert in Cotton and it is immaterial If tba
man is "a japanese, a Chinaman. or anv
other nationality, if only he be really prof
