Cotton Outlook.

The first of March has arrived and
cotton has not got in sight of Is cents.
The few farmers that have been hold
ing for that price are weakening and
many of them are willing to sell at
121S cents. This depression, or rather
the want of an advance in price has
set the farmers to thinking. 1t is ev-
ident that there is shortage of cot
ton in the world, if all the mills we're
to run on full time. But the mill men
say the output is in excess of the de-
mand and that curtailment is neces-
sary. So the tendency has been
downward. What about the crop OF
this year? There is very little small
grain sown in the cotton states. The
abundant corn crop made last year
will be used before September. The
land has to remain uncultivated or
planted in cotton. With the present
depressing Influences crop of II, 2,00o,-
600 bales this year would mean eight
cents. The Cotton Association and
Farmers Union may preach reduc-
tion of acreage as much as they please,
but the farmers will not reduce.
There are many of them who will do
their best to make a large cotton crop.
There are others with more sense who
will plant for a large corn crop and
make sorgqm enough to feed cattle,
hogs aud mules three or four months.
They will make an effort to raise
fowls, hogs, potatoes and everything
they can eat or sell. Peas are scarce
and high, but one bushel will plant
three or four acres in 30-inch rows
and in that way few bushels will
cover much ground. If they are laid
by level they can be moved easily.
Another consideration is the ad-
vanced price of fertilizer. 1t is now
based on 12-cent cotton. If big crop
is made and the price goes to s cents
it will require 10 to Is per cent of the
cotton to pay for the fertilizer bills

either cotton or corn this year. These
directions are for normal conditions
and are applicable with all ordinay
seasons and soils.
Owing to the differences in soil fer.
tility and varieties Of cotton, it is im-
possible to give any general rule for
distances between the rows and for
spacing Of the plants in the row.
However, as some guide we give the
following:
On good uplands ordinarily pro-
ducing one-half to three-fourths of
bale of cotton per acre, plant in rows
four feet apart and give not less than
sixteen inches space between plants
in the row.
On rich bottom lands where excess
sive stalks are produced, plant in
rows not less than Ave feet apart and
give two feet space between plants in
the row. Increase or decrease these
distances Grows and spaces) accord
ing to the strength of the soil and the
usual size of the cotton plants.
On post oak flats and alluvial lands
like the Mississippi bottoms, give full
distance between the rows so az to
make broad ridge for the plants and
provide for surface drainage.

 MT. Twitchell is locally known as an irrepressible Optimist, his optimism eXudes from every pore and every sen tence, even in the face of conditions that make many men blue as indigo water in a Chinese laundry. But he says his cheerful view is founded on solid rock and copper deposits that reach to the center of the earth. With new plant and the steam shovel plan of handling the ore the cost of production will be cut intwo. It has proved successful and economical in Nevada where several plants of the character to be installed by the Kelvin Calumet have been running for many months The commencement even of the work by this company will give quick stimulus to all operations in the Kelvin district.

eXtravagant when we say in all seri-
 ousness that we have counted for five
 years on the absolute elimination of
 the horse driven vehicle; and the uni
 versal adoption of the automobile for all the ordinary means of transporta- tion.
 Our present move is based upon
 that conviction; and upon the eXperi-
 ence of our first year when we turned out what was then considered an un- precedentedally large output, some 2SOO small cars.
 Gratifying confirmation of our con- viction that the driven vehicle must give way in the interests of science, advancement and hygiene to the automobile, was furnished in re- cent article in Appleton's Magazine by MT. Harold Bolce, which has at tracted widespread attention.
 MT. Bolce seriously contends that the time has come for sentiment and legislation to forbid the horse the use of our city streets-and he backs up his contention with an array of facts and figures which are simply startling, in their significance.
 Among other things, MT. Bolce says: Current progress in economic and sanitary science demands the ban ishment of the horse from American cities The greater cost of food sup plies in our cities as compared with smaller towns is due in large part to the enormous expenditure for truck age with horses. A great proportion
 r .N,, fs- raf1a Nnra by these animals. The increased nor tality rates caused by them and eco- homie loss which no mathematicians adequately appraise.'
 He further proves by scientific ev- citing Prof. Huppe of Prague and T. Mitchell Prudden of New York-that majority of the patients in the New York hospitals are stricken by maladies that fly in the dust and that this dust in turn is created chiefly by the tons of ma nure scattered through the streets of the city by the horse.
 We are seriously convinced that the motor driven vehicle is almost as great an element in the develop ment of this country and of the W OTlu, dS lHt NtltBllpilNs NliC NNiN graph or any other beneficent inven- ton which makes life easier and Dleasanter for the masses.
 Another vital purpose which we nave in mind and which has always guided us in the manufacture of au- .omobiles is that this new car shall not be a car of a single season but car which will-speaking generally never go out of commission. The peoples automobile must be power ul: it must be big enough to accom- nodate a family; it must be simple; { must be silent; it must be able to legotiate any hill which can be en- ountered on ordinary American pads: and above all it must be ar which the owner can use season .fter season until he has exhausted he initial purchase price over and yer again.

EVERY ONE NOW CAN
 OWN BIG AUTO CARS
r
The Day of Lower Prices in Automo- piles Has Come With Scientific Manufacturing.

For about a year close students of the situation have been impressed with the idea that the automobile industry was on the verge of a mighty change which would upset all previously ac- cepted standards. Manufacturers have always felt vaguely that the business was in a transitional state; and that the motor car was eventually bound to become a vehicle of universal use.
 To a certain extent, therefore, the initiated few were prepared to hear sooner or later that the problem of a big powerful car at a little price had been solved-bUt the announcement made from the Cadillac plants at De- troit, Mich. is timely
 Some idea of the revolutionary char acter of the Cadillac plans can be gleaned from the statement of the
 general manager, II. M. Leland. when he was asked to convey in the fewest possible words a clear notion of the kind of car it is proposed to market at S14OO.
 'I was asked the same question ear ly in the week. said MT. Leland, by an eastern agent to whom we had given advance confidential informa- tion. I replied that it would be a car SD big, so powerful, so smooth, so si- lent and so perfect in it's standard ization, that we would gladly allow the owner of any other car of the highest price up to $600O to ride blindfolded in the new Cadillac and subject it to any and ev- cry known test. We will rest our chance of a sale on his judgment as to whether our car at S1400 does not do everything that his car at s6OO0 can do-on the straightaway, on the hills, or under any road conditions he may select"
 The Cadillac company were pioneers in the matter of big output and like wise in the matter of a low price on small cars, and they have consistently contended for five years that even the manufacturers themselves have not dreamed the full and ultimate possi- bilities of the automobile.
 We are willing to run the risk" says MT. Leland. "Of being considered

WILL CLEAN UP AND
 BEGIN NEW PLANT
On Kelvin Calumet in Sixty Days, Re- ports w. B. TwitcheIl.

That it is now an assured fact that work will be commenced within the next sixty days on the new 500 ton concentration for the Kelvin. Calumet Copper company at Kelvin. was the statement of W. B. Twitchell who re- turned yesterday from an eastern trip on which he was accompanied by T. w. Smith. An engineer will be placed in the field shortly to draw plans and C. A. Turner and w. E. Sharpes who are heavily interested in the mine will be on the ground in thirty days to make final and definite arrangements.
 The company now has $24O0OO in the treasury in the coin of the realm. which was secured by the sale of a large bulk of preferred stock to east ern parties. With each share of pre- ferred was included share of com mon. MT Twitchell returns with cash in hand to settle up all outstanding obligations so that the mine can be started with a clean set of books. A few men will be placed at work at once to do development
 MT. Twitchell went east to get the coin and succeeded. That was the pri- mary object of his visit. He also at tended the meeting of the board of directors which was harmonious, and the erection of the 500 ton concentra- tor plant. the adoption of the steam shovel method of handling the ore. and an electrical plant, were important re- suits of the session. Said MT. Twitch- ell, The Kelvin Calumet is now well known in the east. We have been asked to list it on the exchange, and the stock is in demand. We have no trouble in raising the money. In fact as l found it in the east, it is not hard to raise money for propositions of merit. Financially things are looking up, and the future has bright prom ise. Mining men believe copper is per manently on the upclimb, and will reach better price and stay there"
 MT. Twitchell and MT. Smith spent most of their time between Baltimore and Philadelphia. They were hospita- bly, entertained by MT Turner who is a millionaire, owns an elegant resi- dence in Baltimore, a summer home and a $30,000 steam launch on the Chesapeake. MT. Turner's Baltimore mansion was a revelation of refined elegance and as Mir Twitchen was stepping on S1O,0OO rugs and gazing up at hand painted ceilings and on $100 plates and a silver service worth thou sands of dollars, he was treasured that mining was a pretty good thing in the end For Mir. Turner has made much of his wealth in Ely and Tonopah camps, and he said he expected to make as much or more out of the Kel- win Calumet before he is through with it.
 The Arizonians were then shown Baltimore in MT. Turner's big touring car. Afterwards they were taken to the steam launch and run down aboiIt 65 miles to MT Turner's summer home which has an ideal location and a fine little harbOr. The evening these Phoenicians were guests there were about forty people who cameo to the harbor in launch es and grand reception was held at MT Turner's place. Twitchell says Tom Smith cornered
