Of Interest TO Wealth Producers

devoted to cotton in the South could easily
be made to produce half again as much cot
ton, and with far more profit to the farmer.
And, should it become expedient, twice or
thrice the acreage could be put to cotton. In
no other part of the world has the farmer this
tremendous advantage. Everywhere else he
must produce an inferior staple, or smaller
yield, or his efforts are entirely experimental
hazardous, and generally disastrous.
The agricultural dominion of the South
seems secure.-Columbia State.

FRUIT LAND VALUES.

The value Of fruit lands in full bearing will
be we'll tested in the lewiston Charleston valley
this year, and individual growers would do
we'll to keep a careful account Of returns from
their several tracts to be able to satisfy them
selves and to furnish data for others In the
estimating of investments.
For the sake of comparison, a statement
from Manager j. F. Moore, of the Grand
Junction Colorado Fruit Growers associa-
ton, relative to returns and values in that
fruit belt, is we'll worth preserving. Land in
that vicinity in full bearing has been selling
as high as $4,000 an acre, and in answer to
the question as to whether or not this was
reaching the danger point Mr.. Moore is
reported in his home paper as saying that
to his personal knowledge one-half or more of
the growers of that district had realized 5000
acre from full-bearing orchards from their
crops, and allowing SO per cent of this for
labor and all other necessary expenses, there
still remained $500 an acre to the grower, or
10 per cent on his investment, placing the
value of his land at $4,000 per acre. How
much more the home builders were willing
to pay for living in that ideal climate, ''the
home of the peach' Mr. Moore could not
estimate, says the Lewiston Teller.
The fruit belt of Colorado is not any more
productive than the fruit belt in Hood River
valley, and it is doubtful if the wide variety
of fruit products can be grown in that section
that can be successfully grown here. If the
valley Of the Grand can be called the "home
of the peach" the valley Of Hood Hiver can
be called the home of the cherry and apple.
Bearing orchards that are now selling in
Hood river valley for 1000 per acre, will
bring s., 900 Of the same kind of money within
the next few years.
Land is destined to reach II per cent
basis, and then add to this the value of our
water, climate and scenery and set your own

oTToN-GRoW1NG IN OTHER LANDS.

The Southern grower OF cotton has one
tremendous advantage over the producer of
any other Of the great staples Of the world
He enjoys what is virtually monopoly, in
spite Of the great efforts made to grow cot
ton in quantity in other regions, for long
time, probably for all time The rest of the
world will, for as long period as one may
safely hold in his vision, have to depend up
on the cotton produced in the South.
This is made more apparent by the recent
publication by the Department Of Commerce
and Labor Of bulletin on "Cotton Produc-
ton" Although the bulletin states that
"almost the entire crop of the world is pro-
duced between the 10th parallel north lati-
tude and the Goth SOUTH and this region en-
braces the greater part of the land surface
Of the globe, yet it is evident that in only
limited portion of this area is cotton grown
with the greatest success and profit. This cot
ton belt Of the world includes all Africa,
" from the Mediterranean sea to the Cape of
Good Hope; from Spain to Japan, and Aus
tralia; and from Norfolk Va, in the United
States, to Buenos Aires, in South America"
This stretches the ATTITUDES bit, as Buenos
Aires would take the southern bounds as far
as the 35th south latitude, instead Of the
Goth. But the staple is grown merely as a
curiosity, and experiment, or for limited local
use in every region of the earth except three:
The Southern States, India and Egypt
A glance at the figures given by the de-
partment will at once establish this, The
Southern States produce 66 per cent of the
total crop Of the world, or, say, 100000 of
the 16,5O0,00O bales Of 500 pounds each. In
dia produces very nearly Is per cent and
Egypt very nearly s per cent. Add the three
and we see that the Southern States, India
and Egypt produce very nearly 80 per cent
produces only IL per cent or a grand total
of some 1,S89,OOO bales, or about the average
crop of Georgia.
The table shows some rather interesting,
even astonishing, facts. For persons think of
Russia as cotton-grower, yet she stands
fourth in rank, with $4,000 bales yearly
produced in the warm regions of Central Asia
China is fifth with 10000. Mexico, with
$4,000, and Peru with $1,000, and Persia with
$4,000 All the rest Of the world accounts for
only 100000 bales or less than per cent Of
the crop.
1t is interesting to observe that "the rest
of the world" includes practically all of those
regions in which the English, Germans,
French and others are trying to raise cotton
in competition with
It is also interesting to reflect that the con-
sumption of the world is increasing at rate

LIFT THE BURDENS FROM COTTON.

There is a whole sermon in the following
extract from a recent letter from Prof. w.
F. Massey to the Southern Farm Gazette:
western farmers raise hogs and sell them
at profit, the railroads make profit in
transporting them, the packers make a profit
In Strengthening and curing the meat, the
railroads bring the meat South at profit and
the local merchant adds his profit, and the
cotton farmer pays for all of these profits
IN buying the meat. Why not make all these
profits here by raising the hogs as cheaply as
the Western men can, and cheaper, too, /
believe, and then cure the meat at home?
The price of the bacon brought from the
West is largely made up Of all these vari-
Gus profits, and it would seem that there is
a broad margin for the Southern man who
raise hogs. Hot house lambs are today selling
at wholesale for 20 to IS cents pound. They
can be more cheaply raised in the South than
in the North, for our sunny climate will favor
them in winter. But, sad to say, all over the
South are thousands who are paying for every
thing out Of which other people make money,
and paying it out of the one crop. Buying
meat for the cotton to pay for, hay for the
cotton to pay for while they could raise the
hay at more profit than the cotton; paying
for the mules that work the cotton out Of the
same crop, when they could keep mares and
raise mules to sell, and then out of what is
left trying to feed and clothe themselves pro-
vlded the fertilizer man leaves them anything,
and all the while the land grows less cotton
and needs more fertilizer, and the fertilizer
men get rich while the farmer gets poorer and
poorer, and can t see why it is. ''-Co-O Operator

their equivocations. When a man
tells deliberate lie he must be an
adept at the business indeed if some
thing in his manner or expression
fails to suggest that fact to the jury.
A woman speaking under the infu-
ence Of powerful sentiment is more
apt to give her statement every sem
blance of truth. The man lying de-
liberately is well aware that he can
hardly do it successfully and there
fore he is less apt to try the expert
ment, although he is morally just as
much the liar as though he did try It,
Il would say that there is some
measure Of truth in the assumption
that women are more liable than men
to go astray from the exact facts
when they are in the strange posi-
ton of a witness in the courts, but
the sweeping assertion Of DR.. Taylor
that in all circumstances they are less
to be believed than men is a state
ment that should simply make the
person who made It ridiculous.
You ask me about the conflict Of
what is called expert testimony. /
think that is not fully understood. It
is my conviction that expert testimony
is usually fairly honest, no matter
how conflicting it may seem, and for
this reason: The expert is always
examined by the attorney previous to
trial and hearing, and II he be not
convinced that the testimony is frank
