COTTON CROP ALMOST DISASTER
So Says President Taylor OF National
Ginners' Association.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 22.-The re-
port of J. A. Taylor, president of the
National Gihners' Association, indi-
Gates that there has been ginned to
October IS, 100000 bales, which
is nearly a million bales less than
was ginned in this period last year.
The report says:
AS the heavy ginning Of Septem-
ber was kept up the first week in Oc-
tober, the falling off has nearly all
come in the last half of the latter
month.
The crop is 79.7 picked, compared
with 54.5 last year at this time, and
indicates almost crop disaster, ex-
cept in Georgia and the Carolinas,
where the crop js better, but not as
good as expected a month ago. The
yield is reported disappointing in all
sections of the belt, probably due to
smallness OF the bolls. Mississippi,
Louisiana and Arkansas have the
shortest crop ever grown, and will
total a little over half of last years
crop, while Texas Is not much better

Emerson's Memory.

Emerson was notable sufferer from
the vagaries Of memory. His biogra-
pher relates that he met him one day
in Boston apparently at a loss for
something and asked him where he
was going. ITO dine" said Emerson,
"with very old and dear friend. I
know where she lives, but I hope she
won't ask me her name" And then he
proceeded to describe her as "the
mother Of the wife of the young man
the tall man-who speaks so well"
and so on, until his interlocutor guess
ed to whom he was referring. Even
the names of common objects often
failed him completely. On one occa-
sion when he wanted an umbrella he
said: 81 can't tell its name, but can
tell its history. Strangers take 1t
away" This failing Of Emerson led to
pathetic scene when he attended
Longfelbw's funeral and remarked as
he gazed at the coffin, "He was a
sweet and beautiful soul, but have
entirely forgotten his name"

APPROPRIATIONS RECOMMENDED.

The only recommendation l submit is
that an appropriation OF $4,000 be pro-
vided, to enable the commission to digest
the material it has collected, and to collect
and to digest much more that is within its
reach, and thus complete its work. This
would enable the commission to gather in
the harvest of suggestion which is result
ing from the discussion it has stirred up.
The commissioners have served without
compensation, and do not recommend
any appropriation for their services, but
only for the expenses that will be required
to finish the task that they have begun.
To improve our system Of agriculture
seems to me che most urgent OF the tasks
which lie before US. But it can not, in
my Judgment, be effected by measures
which touch only the material and tech
meal side of the subject; the whole BUSH
ness and life of the farmer must also be
taken into account. Such considerations
led me to appoint the commission on
country life. Our object should be to help
develop in the country community life as
well as of personal character. One OF the
most important adjuncts to this end must
be the country church, and I invite your
attention to what the commission says of
country church and Of need OF an extern
sion of such work as that Of the Young
Mems Christian Association in country
communities. Let me lay special empha-
sis upon what the commission says at the
very end OF its report on personal ideals
and local leadership. Everything resolves
itself in the end into the question of per-
sonality. Neither society nor government
can do much for country life unless there
is voluntary response in the personal
ideals OF the men and women who live in
the country. In the development OF char
acter, the home should be more important
than the school or than society at large.
When once the basic material needs have
been met, high ideals may be quite inde-
pendent of income; but they can not be
realized without sufficient income to pro-

Colorado to have two litters year,
and the prolific character of the
breed, together with its good feed
ing qualities, have made the
Duroc-Jersey very popular.
The carcass often shows more
bone than either the Berkshire or
the Poland China, and the meat is
often not SO fine grained.
Duroc-Jerseys should have con-
stitution and quality for breeding.
Coarseness of bone and hair, par
ticularly of the hair along the
back should be avoided. Hogs of
this breed are inclined to have
weak pasterns, and breeding ami
mails should be selected that are
strong in this respect.
The Poland-C China is an almost
perfect meat making machine. 1t
is not excelled by any breed of any
kind of live stock for converting
feed into flesh. 1t has a voracious
appetite, a good digestion, and is
lazy-not using much of its energy
in travel or excitement. 1t will

The Best Breed of
Hogs for Colorado.

College
The best breed of hogs for Colo
RADIO is the breed that the grower
likes the best. There are more
differences in the individuals of
any breed than there are between
choice animals of the different
breeds. A good hog, well bred
from a prolific strain of any of the
popular breeds of hogs will make
money for the Colorado farmer
when handled right.
There are four breeds that have
been found to be particularly
adapted to Colorado conditions:
Berkshire, Duroc-Jersey, Poland
China, and Tamworth. Whatever
breed the feeder selects, he should
stay with it, and not change or
cross with another breed.
White hogs are generally not
profitable in Colorado. The in
tense sunshine blisters and cracks
their tender skins so that they
become runts. Often this blister
ing is so severe that running sores
are formed A few Colorado farm
ers have made good profits from
white hogs by keeping them in
pastures having heavy shade.
The Berkshire is hardy and
active, adapting itself to any con-
dition suitable for raising hogs,
and may be developed either into
a bacon or lard hog, according
to the feed given. 1t is more en-
ergetic than some of the other
breeds, and on this account re-
quires better fence. Its activity
makes it good hog for pasturing
and for following cattle in the feed
lot, and this gives it well devel-
oped muscular system that furn-
ishes good proportion of lean in
the meat.
The Berkshire is a good feeder,
natures early and may be fattened
at almost any desirable age.
The sows are careful mothers
and good suckers. Originally the
Berkshire was very prolific, and
many strains are productive to-day.
Some families have been bred to
concentrate the blood lines of
prize winning animals until they
have become shy breeders, and in
selecting animals for breeding,
especial attention should be given
to securing those with prolific
ancestors on both sides. The
Berkshire is strong in transmitting
characteristics to the offspring.
The Berkshire is an attractive
hog, black with white on face, feet
and tip of tale. Its head, nose and
legs are short, and for this reason
the breed is a prime favorite with
packers because of the small per
cent. of waste from these cheap
parts. The fat and lean are well
distributed in the meat, making
high quality of pork.
The Duroc-Jersey is a typical
lard hog of good length with
smooth, thick body, built
close to the ground. 1t is solid
red in color. 1t is an active, hardy
hog, a good feeder and good
grazer. When we'll fed it natures
early, and if kept until full grown
can be made very heavy.
The Duroc-Jersey is a prolific
breed. Records taken from hun
dreds of sows by the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture show an
average of nine pigs to the litter.
Mature sows can be handled in
Colorado to have two litters a year,
and the prolific character of the
breed, together with its good feed
ing qualities, have made the
Duroc-Jersey very popular.
The carcass often shows more
bone than either the Berkshire or
the Poland China, and the meat is
