FERTILIZER
 SALES SHORT Consumption Shows a Notable Decrease. DECLINE IS SENSATIONAL Hard Times Believed to Be the
 Cause.
 --~e-- psspise Recent Heavy shipments Totai For seasca I. Fully Twenty-F1ve Per Cent Below Last Years
 Aggregate.

Statistics of fertilizer taxes collected during the current season indicate that in spite of the garrison" finish which sales have been making for Feb- ruary. The movement of this years consumption is going to be about twenty-five per cent short.
 The chief months for fertilizer niove- ment in Alabama are October, Novem- Der December. January and February The aggregate of tag taxes collected by the Alabama Department of Agri- culture and Industries for this period in 1se6-1s07 exceeded the total income for the same period in 1907-180s by $f5.0i420. This is one of the most sensational declines in fertilizer taxes in many years in Alabama and per- haps has never been approached be- fore.
 The amount of taxes collected dur just ending was 9S1.70440. These were the receipts as recorded on February 2s. 1908. For the same period the year previous. when perhaps the Uni- ted States enjoyed it's most prosperous year. the total collections amounted to &66. .T1S.6O, giving a grand difference between the two seasons of $15.014.20.
 As the tax tag amounts to thirty cents a ton on fertilizer sold in this State. 1t will be seen that the total tonnage taxed. which, therefore might be taken to indicate the total move n1ent during the months for fs06- 1BB7 was 222.3s5. while the tonnage for the current season foots up only 172.- S4S. giving a difference in tonnage be- tween the two seasons Of 5O.047.

The pressure of the panic on the de- mand for fertilizers is clearly indicated fn the remarkable stagnation of the market in October and especially Mo- vember last year. December and jan- uary also showed considerable shrink- age but there Is to be noted a gradual readjustment of market conditions as the time grew older. As an instance of the acceleration Of sales after the severest pinch of money conditions, 1t may be noted that the sales for Febru- ary this year seemed so far ahead of Che same month last season as to bring an excess of S4,O55.67 in tag taxes to the department fund.
 Tn the opinion of Commissioner J. A wilkinson. of the Department of AericuIture and Industries, the margin between the fertilizer movements of the last two seasons is too great now to be effaced by any season-end ad- vances over last year. And on this account there are predictions of two kinds going the rounds of cotton mar ket prognosticators. One of these Is that, all other things being equal. the farmer will undergo spell of economy this year that is general. The other prediction is that the grower of cotton is curtailing his acreage fin this pro- duct.
 Unless there are abnormal conditions to offset the fertilizer shortage this year. it is put forth as a bullish indi- cation for the cotton market during 1903. It is not believed that the shrinkage in the use of fertilizers is confined to Alabama because the cong

 It was determined to increase the appropriation for the program and to have several new features.
 This Chautauqua was organized three years ago and the first session was held in a large tent. Originally a private enterprise of Presidents Van Hoose and Pearce, 1t Is now a regularly incorporated association owning it's own building which was erected at a cost of $12,0O0. The commencement exercises of the college are still a prominent feature of the Chautauqua and a number of members of the facul- ty of Brenau at Gainesville contribute annually to the success of the oc- casion.

Returning yesterday from Tuscaloosa and Reform where enthusiastic farm ers' meetings were held under the pro gram of perhaps the greatest educs- tionai campaign ever waged among the sons of toll in Alabama, Commia- siorer J.

Uhitoo States Departments present the real live farming issues Of modern times.
 The movement which is now sending lecturing experts to every corner or Alabama, was born of co-operative idea for which the Alabama Depart ment of Agriculture and Industries. the United States Department and the Farmers Union are given credit. Ie ia planned to send the group of lec- turers to every section Nf fh~ Stat@. the itinerary being arranged rather according to the Congressional dis tricts than on any other basis
 The itinerary has been made up for most of the counties Three experts of the soil bureau of the United States Government, located Ir this State, have been placed under the direction. of Commissioner Wilkinson for aiding in this work. They are making the iour- neys ses down for the rest of the party of speakers. These experts sra W. e. smith. Groves B. Joneh and J. L Burgess-

Tuese ofdcers will make arrangements for securing large audiences of farm CTS in their respective territory and the professors of agriculture in these colleges are expected to participata actively in the discussion thst will make up the programs
 This novel campaign is n substitute in a way. and regarded commonly as a good one. for the farmers institutes authorized by law to be conducted un- der the direction of the Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries. Yet the only expense to the State attache ed to the undertaking is the travelling ex- penses of Commissioner Wilkinson. The Department authorities at Wash fngton have placed the featuring ex- perts at the disposal of Commissioner Wilkinson and there is no expense on their account.
 The subjects to be dealt with by the speakers at these gatherings vital ly interest the farmers everywhere in Alabama and the Commissioner is im- pressing on everybody in reach the value of attending the meetings.

CANADIAN CAMPAIGN
WAS \ WARM AFFAIR

Returning from Calgary last even
ing Bert Huffman former editor Of
the East Oregonian. brings an inter
esting account OF the election just
held in Canada.
According to Mr.. Huffman the
campaign in Canada was much warm
er than that now on in this country
Personalities and mud-slinging was
much more prevalent.
Canada as a whole went strongly
democratic. or liberal. In the COM
ing parliament the liberals will have
1870 representatives. while the conser-
vatives will have but 7O As a result
Of the election Premier Laurier was
upheld. Laurier himself does not
come up for recollection until two
years from now.
The province of Alberta is conserv-
ative. having four conservative MEM
hcrs of parliament and three liber-
ais.
Throughout western Canada a
strong anti-administration sentiment
exists because of Premier Laurier's
attitude regarding the admission of
Japanese and Hindoos. Presumably
lt the dictation of the English gov
he has forced the admission
of japanese and his stand in the mat
