COTTON CONFERENCE IN ANTIGUA.

A Conference of cotton growers was held
at the Agricultural and Commercial Society's
Room, Antigua, on June, Is last, for the
purpose of considering the position and pros
poets of the cotton industry in the island.
DIR. Francis Watts, G. Nj. e., presided, and
the meeting was largely attended.
DR.. Watts in the course of his address re-
ferred to the fact that the market for Sea
Island cotton was at present somewhat de-
pressed, VIII CHI had resulted in the produc-
ton of q tendency towards the reduction of
tho area under cotton cultivation. The low
prices, however, were not due to Overpro-
duction, and the markets were undoubtedly
improving and sales were being more readi-
ly effected. There was no danger of over
production of Sea Island cotton in the West
Indies at present. Moreover, he reminded
those present that, in 1903, when the cotton
industry was started, it was estimated that
the price likely to be obtained for their pro-
duct was about Is. to Is. I'd. per tb. and on
this basis the rem lucrative character, or
otherwise, of the industry had been calculat-
ed. It was evident, there ore, that it was
too early to complain when market prices
were still at 14d. to 15d. per To.
The past season had undoubtedly been
unfavourable to cotton growers in Antigua
weather conditions were unpropitious, and
in addition, a new and serious insect pest
which caused the MISUNDERSTANDING dis
ease had been noticed for the first time.
The severity of attack from this insect was

BEET SUGAR DEVELOPMENT.

development of the beet sugar industry
in the West has been the wonder of the
world" said Charles T. Saylor, government
sugar expert, whose home is in Iowa, at tue
Ebbitt House, yesterday
"When I began my beet sugar investiga-
tions at the beginning of Secretary Wilson's
administration, there were six beet sugar
factories in the United States. Now there
are upward of seventy, the smallest of which
represents an outlay of nearly $500, 900,
while the largest cost more than So, 000, 600.
This country has the largest sugar factory in
the world. 1t is located at Spreckels, Cal.
and has a capacity for beets at the rate of a
train load a mile long every day in the year.
There is another large factory at Oxnard, Cal.
Establishment of khese large factories
has been q boon to the farmers of the West.
The leading beet sugar states in order of
Importance, are Colorado, Michigan, Cali
fornia, Utah, and Idaho. In each of the
states named the farmers are making much
money by raising sugar beets. They de-
pend upon their beet crop just as they do
IN their milk, their potatoes, etc. It's all
nonsense to talk about beet sugar being in
terior to cane sugar. All sugar is alike,

THE ALFOOS MANGO.

The London Times of June 10 last con-
tanned a note on the excellent qualities of
the East Indian mango known as the
'Alfoos' or 'Alphonso.' This variety is stat
ed to be so popular in Bombay that the
fruits command a price of from 4d to Sc.
each in the open market. Attempts made
to get this mango upon the English market
in quantity have so far failed, owing to the
decay of the fruit during shipment. Dur
ing recent years CRAFTS of the Alfoos mango
have been imported into Florida, and the
fruit growers of that State are reported to
have given close attention to its cultivation.
since it is recognized that on account of its
high quality it would command the best
prices. Producers claim that in a short
time they will be able to export the fruit in
quantity to the London market, and this
may be possible, in view of the shorter voy-
age entailed as compared with that from
Bombay. Ibid,
, 1908-08-15

probably due to the peculiar seasonal condi-
tions, and with more favourable weather it
was believed that it's ravages would be large
" reduced. Mr. III. A. Ballou, M. Sc, En-
t~omologist to the Imperial Department of
Agriculture had to a large extent worked out
the life-bistory of the fly causing the flower
bud-dropping disease, and suggested a num-
Der Of remedial measures for the control of
the insect during the coming season. Chief
among these was the application of FVaporite'
to the soil, which woald probably destroy
the fly in the pupal stage, which takes place
in the ground.
The cotton worm still caused trouble, but
this could be readily held in check by the
use Of Paris green and lime. AS for the
leaf blister mite, it had been shown that this
could be controlled by timely hand picking
of diseased leaves, and by the application of
sulphur and lime to infected plants.
Planters in Antigua were experiencing
difficulties owing to the present scarcity and
unreliability of the labour supply, but DR..
Watts pointed out that these difficulties were
being met and overcome by the introduction
of lakour-saving tillage implements.
1t was very important that the cultivation
of cotton should be maintained on sugar
estates in Antigua, since, owing to the pro-
valence Of root disease of the sugar-caue,
the introduction of the cotton crop into the
rotation gave infected cane fields an oppor-
tunity Of recovering from the disease.
In the past, some planters had to show q
tendency to plant larger areas Of cotton
than they could properly supervise. The
cotton crop was one which needed special
care and attention, and in order to produce
the best results not more than SO acres of
cotton should be placed under the care of
one man, who should be able to devote his
whole time and attention to this area.
The Importance of seed sci elton was then
dwelt upon by The speaker, and it was men
toned that the Antigua Cotton Factory
Company and others would supply suitable
selected seed for planting at the same rates
as in past years.
Planters who could give time and atten-
ton to the matter, however, were strongly
advised to do their own seed selection, and
to raise their crops from seed selection on
the estate in the previous year.
Finally, DR.. Watts expressed the opinion
that the kind Of cotton which it was desir-
able to secure was a cotton of moderate
length combined with strength he believed
it was better to sacrifice length than strength.
A vote of thanks to DR.. Watts for his ad.
dress was carried unanimously at the close
of the meeting.-I6id

SPINELESS LINES AND ORDINARY
LINES

An article on the characteristics OF the
spineless variety Of lime as compared with
the ordinary kind appeared IN the A9Tac"S-
turdJ Neqcs, Vol. VII, p. 81, and 1T was there
mentioned that fuller particulars Oh the sub
iect, together with data as to the relative
purity and richness in citric acid OF the juice
of the two varieties were included III the
Report for 1867 of the Dominica Botanic
Station.
Spineleas lines are believed to have origi-
mated on the Shawford estate, Dominica,
where, in the year 1891, a lime tree was
noticed from which the usual spines were
absent, Care was taken to produce seed
lings from this interesting tee, and about
IS per cent. of the plants proved themselves
to be spineless. The young trees frulted
we'll, although the lines yielded were smaller
il size than those from the ordinary variety.
Apart from the absence of spines, this lime
is characterized by the smallness OF the
leaves, an erect habit of growth, a smooth,
thin skin, a greater richness of juice, and the
presence Of but q small number OF seeds as
compared with the ordinary variety.
The accompanying Illustrations Gigs 5
and 81 show the different habits of growth Of
the two kinds of lines. Fig. S represents
an ordinary variety possessing spines. In
Fig. 6 appears a spineless lime, and the more
erect and less spreading habit Of growth OF
his variety in comparison with that Of the
ordinary kind is well shown, It should be
mentioned that this upright character is
more marked in the earlier stages Of growth
of the trees, and that as the latter grow
older and bear fruit, the branches tend to
bend downwards, thus altering materially
the appearance of the trees. The photo
graphs from which the blocks for these illus
%trations have been prepared were forwarded
by Mr.. Joseph Jones, Curator of the Botanic
Station, Dominica, They represent trees
growing on the Bath estate in that island.
There are now over 10000 trees, or about
100 acres, OF the spineless variety of lime
growing in Dominica, and information, based
upon observations made on large field plots
should soon be forthcoming. In 19G6-O7,
the number of plants Of this variety sent out
from the Botanic Station reached 10,O87.
MIR, Jones reports that the demand for
plants continued steady throughout 1908.
There is little doubt that the absence Of
spines from the tree is q character to be
appreciated, and one which should facilitate
the gathering of the fruit.-Agricuitura<

There is considerable likelihood that
the President will send TO Congress a
special report presenting In emphatic
should actuate Congress 10 appropri-
should actuatc Congress sto appropri
ate the funds necessary 10 build four
new battleships. The House com
mittec on naval affairs reported II

struction of two battleships, at cost
of $6,00D.000 each, which means that
the department could do little more
than prepare plans this year. the

is decided disappointment to the
President. who has never abandoned
his hope that Congress would ulti--
matcly authorize four battleships and
permit contracts to be let as soon as
practicable for at least two.
1t is expected that if the leaders
are unable to dissuadc the President
from sending in u special message, It
will arrive about the time that the
House reaches the consideration of
