A FIRE ALARM.

Which Was Not Appreciated BY One
Fire Fighter.
When | was a young man." said

little country town where the only
means Of fighting Gre was an old
fashioned hand pumping fire engine.
zone day, becoming enthused over
the life Of fireman, allowed my
self to be talked into joining the vol
unteer company that was being or
ganized to man the old canalboat.
The leader who took charge of the
movement was person who is always
to be found in country towns and
whose hobby is running a FIRE depart
ment, and we made him our captain,
much to his satisfaction.
The first fire alarm that l respond
ed to came one cold night in midwin-
ter when there was a bowling blizzard
raging 1t took some nerve on my part
to get out of my warm bed and an
swer the call. and l saw right there
that the life Of a fireman wasn't just
what it was cracked up to be. But l
hurried into my clothes and rushed
away to the engine house.
The engine, which weighed a cou-
pie Of tons or more, was drawn by
hand, and, obedient to our excited cap
tain's commands, we seized hold Of 1t
and dragged it down the street as
fast as we could through the drifting
snow.
The captain took the lead, and we
blndly followed him. while he shouted
words of encouragement | think we
must have dragged that internal old
machine around for over an hour, al
though it seemed much longer than
that Finally when we did stop and
got the snow out of my eyes l found,
much to my surprise, that we were
back at the engine house.

looked at his watch For the first

1t is meet that the government
should locate its experiment station
to teach the industrial world how to
turn cornstalks into paper in the
Second Kentucky district, perhaps
the very foremost agricultural re-
gion in the temperate zone, when we
consider the salubrity of the cline,
the fertility of the soil. and the di-
versity of products.
Tom McCreery, "the silver.tongued
sluggard of the Senate, came from
there. Samuel o. Peyton was from
there, and so were John Young
Brown and James A. Mckenzie.
Last, but not least, is Owsley Stan
ley, and just over the line is Ollie
James.
Not even Iowa can show a finer
corn belt, and it surpasses all the re-
gions under the sun for tobacco-the
plug the sailors chew.
1t was shown by a business man
and thinker from Massachusetts
that the cotton stalk could be made
to yield profitable crop if it were
grown for the seed only and the
fiber thrown into the fire; but it is
now held that the cotton stalk is ex-
cellent material of which to make
pulp for the manufacture of paper,
and that the child is born who will
see this waste of a century turned to
a source of profit surprising the fat
ness Of Goshen.
But the stalk Of the corn plant af-
fords ten times the material that
comes from the stubble of the cotton
field, and it is now ascertained that
the fiber from the cornstalk is far
superior to that obtained from the
spruce tree for purposes Of making
paper. If that proposition does not
prove a deusion, then the return
to the husba1dman from every hill
Of corn will be double what it is at
present. Maybe this is the way to
flank the paper and pulp trust

Latham, Alexander & Co., in their

Latham, Alexander & Co., in their
annual review of cotton crop con
ditions, estimate the 1909 crop at
81, 799,015 acres as compared with
33,370,0 900 last year. The total es
timated decrease of cotton acreage
in the United States for 1909 is At
per cent, or !, $40. 985 acres less than
last year, and the average planting
of the crop is eight days later than
last year. The normal tendency to
increase the cotton acreage from
year to year has been checked this
season by the determination to in
crease the acreage in small grains,
due to the high prices prevailing for
all kinds of provisions. This is less
apparent in Texas where the drought
ty conditions prevented early plant
ing of grain. The reports complain
generally of the low tempera-
lures extending we'll into May,
retarding the growth of the
plant and causing irregular
stands; and the protracted wet
weather has interfered with the cul-
tivation, so that grassy conditions
prevail. In Texas the crop is late
owing to the absence of moisture
early in the season and the late ger
mination of the seed: but beneficial
rains finally covered the cotton-pro-
ducing section of the State, causing
marked improvement.
The continued excessive rainfall
in the central belt makes the present
outlook gloomy for that section and
may cause some abandonment of
acreage.
