If corn is king in the West, GER
tainly cotton is king in the South.
With thirteen and fifteen cent cot
ton, the planters are having a new
taste of prosperity. The automo-
bile has invaded the cotton belt,
and business of every sort feels the
vivifying effect of high prices for
the staple crop of the region. OF
course. the crop is short, and there
are increased expenses of produc-
tion and of living to offset the big
value of the bale. But even so,
fifteen cent cotton stirs the plan
ter's heart. The danger that he
will plant too much cotton next
year, and SO bring prices down
again, is a very real one. His
best friends are advising him to
diversity his crops. to produce
everything that he needs. corn.
hay. mules, and hogs, so that he
can stand ten cent cotton without
bankruptcy. And he is more mind
ed to take such advice than he used
to be.

WHAT is the healthiest place in
the United States? South Dakota
seems to have the best claim to
this distinction, with death rate
of ten to the thousand. Colorado
and California have the highest
death rate, seventeen and eighteen
and a half to the thousand respec-
lively; but the rate in these states
is swelled by the fact that many
invalids journey to them in fruitless
search of health. The last census
bulletin shows that the average
death rate in which is called the
registration era, in which a little
more than half the population lives,
is alittle under fifteen and a halt
per thousand per year. This is the
lowest record ever known in the
United States. That is to say,
while we are seeking to conserve
all other forms of value in this
country, we are not neglecting to
conserve that most precious of all
forms, human life itself.

THE safest and most peaceful

miles comprising the Canadian
Northwest. 1t is kept in order by
a thousand men, organized as the
Royal Northwest Mounted Police.
There has never been a lynching
in all this vast territory, and no
criminal feels safe within it. The
Northwest Mounted Police is a
military as we'll as a peace force,
and it has many more functions
than either the ordinary soldier or
the ordinary policeman. The men
of the corps are at once interpreters
and executors of the law, and
throughout the Northwest their
influence is as much moral as
physical. They go everywhere,
and undertake anything that may
be included in their orders. They
are postmen, physicians, timber
guardians, weather reporters, CROP
statisticians, census takers, stock

In the naval race the United

book recently published says that
the struggle of Germany to over
come Great Britain's standard of a
two power navy is a most promi-

present. Great Britain is deter
mined to be as strong as any other
two nations. As the navies now
stand, considering only the ships
actually in commission, the order is
Great Britain. the United States.
Germany. But Germany's build
ing program will soon put her
ahead of us. That need not alarm
anybody, since the United States

Ohio Produces Man With Double Skin.

Morrow, Ohio, Nov. 26-Nature in a
freakish mood provided Woodrow
Whitacre of this town with double
skin. Whitacre is 27 years old, and
rot until a few days ago did he know
how prodigal the old dame had been.
What he did know for years, however,
was that he was plagued with tumors
Oh his back the size Of baseballs.
When he arrived at the Steton Hos
pital he had just dozen OF these ex-
crescences, and their course was ex-
planned to him.
Having double skin, the roots Of
the hair would grow downward until
they reached the second layer of the
skin, which they could not penetrate.
In time this hair would curl under the
skin, like a mattress, forming these
tumors, which enlarged in the course
of years.
Whitacre was under an anaesethetic
for over an hour while DR.. L. E. Rus
sci removed the dozen dermoid tumors.
AS each was opened it was found to
contain innumerable strands Of hair
curled like birds nest
The patient suffered no ill etfects
from the operation, but IL j. probable
that i'm period of years tumors ot
like character will make their appear
1nce on his body again.

Condition of National Banks.

The Comptroller of the Currency
has just published an abstract of the
condition Of all National banks in the
United States in response to his call
OF November 16, last.
Loans and discounts since September
l increased from $5,12S,S82,3 51 to So
14S,787 ,595, or a matter of some $780,
100000. This is quite moderate in the
face Of the $500, 100000 increase in this
item shown since the report of Nov
~, 1908.
New York Clearing House banks or

counts Of $1,34S,875, 100, and On Nov
ember 20 the same item stood at ST.
2O4,634, 200, showing reduction 81
4,240.900. During the same period
the non-member banks and trust com
panies in New York city only reduced
their loans $21,O59 600.
Perhaps the most conspicuous
change in the condition of National
banks has been the growth in individ-
ual deposits which at S5,420, 442, 1868 or
November 1C show an increase Of
S110, 100000 since September 1 anG

Planting Corn ON Sod Land.

a correspondent of the Country Gen
planting says
1T il evident to me that his plan of
turning under heavy crop of rye just
before planting corn, as late as May
20, would not suit all conditions. Tt
seems to have been a success with him,
but have seen so many failures when
a heavy green crop has been turned
under just before planting to corn that
l should hesitate to try it.
A few years ago a prominent farmer
remarked to me that he had decided to
see if there was anything in the turn
ing under clover. He had turned I'M
der heavy crop of clover on a good
soil and planted it in corn late in May.
L told him that it might prove success
full, but gave reasons for fearing that
his crop would be a failure. He said
that my reasoning seemed good, and
that he would report to me the result
OF his venture. In due time the report
came in that he did not grow ten bush
els to the acre.
I have noticed that in some instan-
ces an application of fertilizer after
the corn began to grow made a large
ear on moderately large stalk, but
am not convinced that the ear would
not have been larger if the fertilizer
had been applied at the time the
corn was planted and a larger stalk
grown.
Last spring planted corn in a sod
land without fertilizer. The land had
grown hay for three years without
either manure or fertilizer, and if the
season had been a. favorable T feel
quite sure that # should have grown a.
heavy crop as T did four years ago
with stable manure. While the hay
takes some plant food from the soil, ii
also helps to make other plant food
available in the soil. Mr.. Pearramore
says mo one thinks of sowing
wheat on sod land unless he wants an
abundance of straw and little grain
This may be true in his locality, but
well-prepared sod land, with light
application of acid phosphate, is one
of our best preparations for wheat in
West Virginia. .
This is only another evidence of the
necessity of considering the local con-
ditions when we lay out our plans OF
farming. There are general princi-
pies, but, when applying them, local
conditions must also be considered

NEW YORK GREATEST MUNICIPAL
DEBTOR.
census Bureau Reports Tic Owes Seven
Times as Much as any other City.

Washington, December 28.-New
york city is the champion municipal
borrower of the country. The total
net Indebtedness of the metropolis
according to the statistics announced
today by the Census Bureau, is more
than seven times that of any other
city and more than one-half the total
of the III largest cities in the country.
lf me debt were divided up, each in
habitant OF Greater New York would
owe $142.52.
There are only five other cities with
2 per capita debt Of more than 500
Cincinnati, $123.85; Boston, $12O.37 ;
Galveston, $115.78; Pueblo, $1O8.23,
and Newton, Mass, S105.83.
Of the cities Of more than 100000
population, San Francisco has by far
the smallest net debt, with Detroit a
close second. In the classification of
cities with 100000 to 100000 inhabi-
tants those with the smallest per
capita net debt are st. Joseph, Mo-,
Sl6.46, and Indianapolis, $1791. Erie,
Pa, leads the towns with from 10000
TO 100000 with the smallest total
$lO.13 per capita. Wheeling il next,
with S1O.41; Joplin, Mo-, third, with
with $lO.7l, and JOhnstoWn, Pa, $11.19.
New York j. responsible for more
than one-half of the $12O,93O,631 in
crease in the net municipal debt for
1907, the year covered by the bureaus
figures. Seattle, Wash, was the only
city Of over 100000 the debt Of which
increased more than a million. That
city's debt piled up s5,791,07S during
1907.
Several cities, notably ST. Louis, San
Francisco, Washington, Indianapolis
and Kansas City, Mo-, decreased their
Indebtedness during the year.
The bureau suggests that the value
of public improvements should be con-
sidered with these figures, many cities
having, during 1907, purchased their
own water works, light plants, etc.
