tons of cotton stalks produced an

we'll turn for a permanent supply Cd
a large portion of the paper used
One of the obstacles ITO the use Cd
the cotton stalk has been the cost
of the chemical treatment necessary
to make pulp from it suitable foE
paper making. Its adaptability has
been we'll understood, but the cost
has interferred with it's practical or
extensive use. Recently it has been
discovered that the by-product con.
tanned in the chemical liquor after
it has accomplished the disintegration
of the cotton stalk has been treated
in such way that ii can be made
into q fertilizer which can be used
upon the cotton lands, and largely re-
store the fertility of those lands. The
revenue received from the sales of
this fertilizer will reduce the differ
ence of cost between cotton stalk
and wood pulp paper. The 1000, 600
tens of cellulose or pulp for paper
making that can be obtained from the
cotton crop of the South would be a
source of supply greater in amount
than it consumed by all the paper
manufacturers in the. United States
at the present time. The cotton stalk
in the past has been of no special
value to the planter or farmer pro-
ducing the cotton. The planter has
had to destroy the Gotten stalks by
burning them in order to destroy the
weevil. If this vast product can 5e
utilized, as it now promises to be. it
will add untold millions of dollars an
nually to that section of cur country
which is now producing Gotten; for
inevitably the great industry of paper
making or quite portion of it, wild

LIVING OUT OF A TIN CAN.

Wheat is higher than at any
other time fer many years. Corn is
high, but net in the same proportion
as wheat.
Potatoes are high, but rice is corr
respondingly cheap.
A barrel of flour is selling around
81 and So. To the working man this
is a serious problem. With high-pric-
ed flour the grocery bill becomes a
thing of paramount Importance.
Ones stomach is blind to the taste
cf food. 1t considers only the quail
ties of nutrition and digestibility.
There is as much nutriment in a
pone Of corn bread as there is in a
half loaf CT wheat bread. The corn
bread is as easily digested if it is
we'll cooked and made from scalded
meal
A dish of rice affords more life-giv-
ing force than either flour or corn
bread Eat rice then, and you need
net worry about meat.
While talking about the high price
of food why do our Southern farmers
fail to take notice? You cam sell a
bushel of corn this fall for not less
than so cents. You can feed cattle
and horses for two full months ON the
stalks. You can raise enough hogs
to supply your family with meat. Why
ond't you do it? Raise corn, hogs,
COWS and chickens
Corn at any thing above so cents
is more profitable than cotton at 10
cnetS.
Because you have been growing
nothing but cotton all your life is no
reason why you should continue.

INCOME TAX.

Although the United States Su
preme Court declared the income tax
passed some years since unconStitu
and another law properly drawn might
not share the same fate. To the
mind of a layman there is nothing
wrong in raising revenue in taxing
ones income. One of the great English
statesmen a. few years ago declared
that an income tax would develop a
race of liars Possibly the list
of perjurers would be increased, but
if there is any escaping the payment
of taxes justly due under present
conditions it is not, as rule, the
poor man; but the very class an in

consciences would not become much
more hardened by having to deny
riches twice instead of once only per

LARGEST BASKET IN WORLD

The traffic officials OF the North
western Pacific are much perplexed
over a basket that they have been
requested to receive for shipment
from Ukiah to Brooklyn, N Y It is
said to be the largest basket in the
world, and this must be true, fer
there is some doubt whether it will
pass through che tunnels of the ST.
ezra.
The basket is of Indian manufac-
ture, and was designed as store
house for grain. 1t is shaped like the
usual bushel measure is mounted on
poles to make it inaccessible to ro-
dents, and has a hugh basket-work
cover 1t is wider than the door of
am ordinary box car, yet it could not
be shipped ON a flat car, as it would
be liable to destruction from the
sparks of locomotive.
The continuance was purchased from
the Indians by Dr. ]. W. Hudson of
Ukiah, and by him sold to the Brook
lyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, to
be installed in it's museum. The doc
tor paid only $25 for the basket, but
it is likely to be worth fortune be
fore it reaches the Atlantic coast
Taking it for granted that the bas-
ket can be moved at all by rail, the
tariff officials are searching the class
ffication sheets to determine under
what rate the shipment would move.
Some claim the basket is merely a
basket, while others contend that it
should move under the classification
that includes parts of grain
elevators Traffic Manager Geary> is
of the opinion that the thing is a
corn crib and should be so billed.
In an event, it is too large to get
i'm any ordinary box car, and must,
therefore; take a minimum rate Of
5000 pounds, although it weighs only
200 pounds. Under, this interpreta-
ton CT the tariff it would cost SITS
to move the granary to- Brooklyn.
