CHAPTER X.


After the doctor had vanished that
evening, David and Pepeeta passed
down the long corridor and out upon
the balcony Of the old Spencer House,
to the place appointed for the inter-
view OF the Judge. The night was
bright; a refreshing breeze was blow
ing up from the river and the fire.

noises Of the city had died away, their
imaginations were aroused, their emo

stirred. 1t seemed impossible that life
could be seriously real. Their concep-
tions OF duty and responsibility were
sublimated into vague and misty
dreams. and the enjoyment of the mo-
ment's neeting pleasures seemed the
only reality and end of life.
"Pepeeta, you have long promised
to tell me all you knew OF your early
life; will you do it now?" asked Da-
vid
"Of what possible interest can It be
to your" she answered.

Getting Rid of stumps.

Since the discovery of that region
constituting part of the present State
of Washington the f1r stump has block
ed the progress of civilization west of
the Cascades, from Oregon to British
Columbia. Science has found ways
to span the States rivers, tunnel it's
mountains and irrigate it's deserts, but
until recently it has been unable to
cope with the fir stump. Bulky, firm
rooted in the earth, and so saturated
with pitch that it will not decay, it
has defied everything but dynamite,
and that costs about So stump, with
an equal amount to cover the expenses
of the donkey engine necessary to re-
move the roots when the main body
Of the stump has been shattered.
Clearly such costly process can not
be used for agricultural purposes in
heavily timbered country.
Such was the situation when, three
years ago, an enterprising farmer con-
cefved the idea of burning out the
stumps by forced draft After many
experiments he finally got horse
power donkey engine, attached a g.
inch American blower, and over this
he fitted a tin case with twelve tubes
leading from it. To these he attached
pieces of garden hose and to the ends
iron pipe. Then he bored a hole in
the stump, and, dropping in a live
coal, inserted pipe and started the
engine In a few moments the hole
was af1ame, and soon a dozen stumps
were blazing, although it was the wet
season and the monsters were sodden

PRACTICAL COTTON
FAMINE IMMINENT
Decrease in Production
Beyond Expectations.
Georgia's Outlook is
Everything That is
Bright.
(The Cotton Record.)

We have no wish to assume the pose
of an alarmist, but we are constrained
to believe that the August bureau re-
port on the cotton condition indicates
almost disastrously short crop.
Ever since the commencement OF
spring, even before the crop was
planted, we have consistently main
tanned that the prospects were adj
verse to full crop this year, for rea-
sons stated, which seemed good 10
us: In this opinion we considered
only the Texas outlook, and allowed
for an average yield in other sections
Things are turning just as we fore
cast in Texas, but much worse else
where. We never calculated on the
exceedingly unfavorable conditions ex-
perienced in the central Gulf States
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana
which produce something like 80 per
cent of the total yield
Neither was it anticipated that the
full extent of the Texas shortage
would appear until the latter part of
August. That the Texas condition
should have declined nine points fol-
the month ending July % only shows
how effective were the deteriorating
influences at work. These evidences
will become palmer as the resources
required of the plant to mature its
load of fruit become greater. The
real damage has not resulted except
to limited extent, from summer con-
ditions, but from winter conditions,
and is therefore practically irrepara-
BILE
But partial crop failure will not
be altogether au unmitigated misfor-
tune. 1t ought at least to have the
good effect Of teaching the cotton
trade Of the world two very important
and useful lessons.
One is to show how utterly depend
ent the world is upon our cotton crop.
The other is still more important. It
is to demonstrate the folly and alb
surdity of magnifying a moderate oc-
casiOnal surplus production into a
basis for unduly depressing the price
below the actual cost of production,
and thereby discouraging the plant
ing. We have recently discussed this
pOin more fully.
The New York Stock Exchange peo-
pie are lamenting over the assumed
consequence of a heavy curtailment
of the money value of our years agri-
cultural products following the reduc
ed yield of cotton in bales. 1t is re-
markable that such astute people are
not aware that a crop of II 100000
bales will bring in more money than a
crop of 14,000000 bales would
Even Texas would probably get as
much for a scant 100000 bales as for
100000 And those other states which
give promise of a good crop will prof
it enormously. Georgia with approx
mately 100000 bales, can reasonably
expect $25,O0OOOO to $3O,OOO,OOO more
than for any other cotton crop she
ever produced.
