THE OUTLOOK FOR CROPs.

AS the pivotal season of the summer
approaches, the matter of what the
crops will yield is one of general in
terest to every citizen of the state.
The continued rains have male
many farmers become discouraged
over the prospects for a good cotton
crop especially. There can be no
doubt that cotton has been injured in
many sections Of the state to a mark
ed degree by the excessive rains.
The contrast is brought to mind
however, by the reports from various
sections of the state of cotton fields
that are practically free from grass
On the other hand, there are many in
stances where the fields present tbs
appearance Of hay fields rather than
cotton fields, and, if the grass contin-
ues to grow, the hay-mower will prove
more appropriate instrument at the
harvest period than the fingers of the
cotton-picker
While it must be true this year-lt
would be remarkable if it were not
true in view of the continued rains
that the cotton crop, which is the prin-
cipal crop in the estimation of the
farmer, viii be largely cut short in
certain sections of the state, neverthe-
less it is true that this happens 20
many farmers every year, no matter
what the weather conditions may be-
Many who travel over various sections
of the state report excellent and clean
crops along the line of many of the
railroads. If this is standard for
Judgment, and is fairly representative
of conditions, then it may be that the
farmer is not as badly hurt as he is
inclined to think
1t is rather easy to feel inclined to
judge conditions at large by discour-
aging conditions that may be observed
close at hand Oftentimes this may
not be a safe criterion. The most re-
cent report on crops by Bradstreet's.
however, indicates that the crop con-
ditions are not up to the normal this
year. To quote verbatim from the re-
port: THE uneven distribution Of
moisture is affecting cotton-crop re-
ports and conditions. Fields are gras-
sy, and dry weather is urgently need
ed in Louisiana, Mississippi, Tonnes
see and Alabama, Boil Weevil is COM
planned of in Louisiana and the south
ern half of Mississippi" Many farm
ers would doubtless be willing to add
Georgia-at least certain sections of
GeOrgia-to the list of states where
dry weather is urgently needed"

THE AGGRESSIVE SCHOOLMA'M.

The aggressive schoolma' ms at their
recent session of the National Educa-
tional Association at Boston stole a
march on the mere men present at
that meeting, if the news reports are
true.
For the first time in the history Of
the organization a woman was elected
to the position of president. That of
itself is not so startling, but theman-
ner in which it WIS done furnishes the
amusing elements.
Mrs Ella F. Young was not the only
candidate for the position, be it I'M
derstood, for one Zachariah Snyder, Of
the male persuasion. was an opposi-
ton candidate to the woman, who
was recently elected superintendent of
the schools of Chicago before she
was made president of the National
Education Association.
Having packed the convention full
Of schoolma ms, who were given exact
orders as to how to vote, the feminine
leaders raised the sex issue against
zachariah Snyder and knocked his
aspirations for the presidency into a
cooked hat. How's that for subtlety
and shreWdness on the part of the
feminine element 1t seems that
the men were beaten at their own
game.
The number of school teachers in
the United States is given as 1862,
of which only 104,673 are men and
391 ,939 women. The wonder is that
the schoolma'ms haven't revolted long
ago With a majority of about 300,-
600 women teachers to draw from,
they should make things exceedingly
interesting for the masculine division
1t is laughable to consider the fact
that there were two women for every
man at the convention when the sex
issue against poor Snyder was raised
That was master stroke of political
to bring out so large a
majority of women and then to stir up
the sex issue to keep Them all together
when they voted It was case Of
where the schoolmasters were cleverly
mastered. ri

4 SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT
WITH SCHOOL CHILDREN

The sympathy and charity of the
world goes out to the suffering, the
physically deformed, the mentally af-
hicted, but it is only of late years that
this has been wisely extended in the
most proper direction, so as to furnish
medical examination and training 20
the growing school child. Perhaps
one Of the most notable examples of
this kind is seen in the action of the
principal of one Of the large public
schools in Boston during the past
year.
Nothing that certain children in
different classes were frequently alb
sent on account of illness, were poorly
developed, underweight, and backward
in their studies, an outdoor school
room was fitted up in a somewhat
sheltered corner of the school yard, in
the fresh air and sunlight, and during
pleasant weather the regular work Of
the class room was carried on under
a special assistant.
In addition to the change to the
open air, the children were supplied
each day at recess, both morning and
afternoon, with glass OF Horlick's
matter milk, hot, and as the result Of
the fresh air and the hot foOd-drink,
the experiment proved marvellous
success phenomenal Improvement
i'm the condition of the children at
once began. The children We're bright
er, the eyes and complexion were
clearer, and the average gain in
weight in a month was over three
pounds for the whole class, several
showing gain of ten and eleven
pounds.
In addition, the regular teachers
noted with much surprise the sudden
gain in mental alertness, interest and
voluntary effort Of these formerly
backward children. We can appreci-
ate the great influence of purer air
and a rich, nourishing diet upon the
mentality of the children, which de-
lighted and surprised the principal
and school physician, who advised the
trial.

C0MMENDABLE ENTERPRISE,

The methods adopted by the South
ern Railway of running agricultural
trains over its lines in some of the
states that are penetrated by the lines
of the company, furnishes an excellent
example of commendable enterprise.
The recent tours made by these
trains througb sections of Virginia and
Western Tennessee have been attend
ed with marked enthusiasm on the
par, of the farmers in these states
and have been the cause Of much i'm
provement in agricultural mtfods. In
Virginia, the train was in charge of
Hon. G. w. Koiner, commissioner OF
agriculture for Virginia, with whom
were associated a corps of experts.
One Of the most encouraging feat
ures of the movement is the number of
letters of inquiry that have been sent
to the railroads land and industrial
department by farmers who are inter-
ested in the work of the agricultural
trains and asked that information be
sent them. Names of all who could
be obtained were also taken along the
tours by those in charge of the trains,
50 that in this way the influence of
the trains will be made permanent
Soil Improvement, crop diversified
ton, more attention to live stock and
improved methods of culture were
stressed by the experts and will I'M
doubtedly produce especially good
results as regards these important Ell
ements in modern successful farming

Dear Sir: I noticed an article in THE

nation Of the speech that you made here
sometime ago before the Teachers Asso-
citation. in the Wilmington High School.
Your remark at that time 1 considered
an insult not only TO the residents Of the
Eleventh ward (the ward Of which am
proud to be a residenO but also to the
entire city. You come back now with an
explanation which reminds me Of the boy
who apologized TO his father by saying: Il
apologize father. and II there is anything
7 said that / am sorry for 1 am glad Of
IT,"
You point out that in the Board OF
Health report. page Is. the computed pop
ulation of the city is si.5OO-you also state
that the census Of 1900 gives the population
for the various wards in wilmington-you
took the percentage Of the people in each
ward in 1900 and figured the increase on
the same percentage for each ward with
the increased estimated population Of the
city for 1905 which is a very good way
to make your story look good and mlslead-
ing and paint a beautiful picture with a
faisehood. Why did YOU want to do any
thing OF that kind when there is a record
Of a census taken by the police in 1905
You could obtain it in any newspaper Of
hce or at the police department. For your
special enlightment 1 herewith give you
