AMERICAS GREAT DRINK BILL.
11G,a52,0OS Gallons Of Booze Cost
ing $:sOO,OOO,O 900.

During the fiscal year 1909 49,
S52,9OS gallons of spirits were dis
titled from grain in the United
States, says H. Parker Willis in Nc
Clure's. What the value of this flood
OF liquor may have been cannot posi-
lively be stated. The output Of the
distilled, malt and vinous liquors and
allied products In the year 1905 was
reported by the census bureau to be
worth more than s44O, 100000. In
the year 1909 1851, 1913 gallons of
brandy, 610,305 gallons of rum, g.
497,07O gallons of gin and $685.
652 gallons of whiskey were placed
on the market in the United States.
The total value Of all these products
at the place Of manufactures was prob
ably not less than $135, 100000. But
these figures In no way measure the
cost of distilled liquor to the consum-
er. They do not include the govern
ment internal revenue tax or the cost
of wholesaling and retailing the
goods AS sold in the saloon at 10
and Is cents drink the cost of
whiskey, or what passes for such
among consumers, Is no less than Sc
a gallon. This would mean that the
annual bill Of the American public
for whiskey alone would be much
more than 100000. There are
many w"o place 1t at twice as high
figure because Of the excessive adul-
teration undergone by the liquor for
the purpose Of increasing its volume.

TWO BALES TO THE ACRE.
Some Simple Rules Showing How it
Can he Done.

From an exchange we get the fol-
lowing, which should interest farm
ers throughout the county:
There are a few farmers in the
county that are going to plant for
two bales of cotton to the acre.
That Is the plan to pursue. He who
never attempts great achievement
will do only little, commonplace
things. These one acre tests are
good, but far from the best. Sup
pose dozen or more farmers should
take choice lots, four to eight acres,
and work for two bales to the acre.
That would try their real skill.
Take five-acre lot as an example
Of course the land should be good
to begin with. Break it well, which
means going two inches deeper than
plowed heretofore. If stable and lot
manure are used, scatter broadcast
before bedding. Then apply four
hundred pounds of fertilizer in the
drill before bedding, mixing it with
the soil by running furrow in the
row. Throw up fiat bed. That will
be good start. The next step is to
secure improved seed which have
been carefully selected.
The rows should be four feet
apart and If a little wider it might
be better. If they are four and a
half feet wide and the plants two
feet apart, there will be 4,S4O stalks
to the acre. Allow to missing hills
and poor stalks and say 4,500. If
the stalks would make two-thirds Of
pound of seed cotton each, the
two bales would be sure. Forty to
sixty bolls Of the larger varieties
would make that amount 1t would
require more Of the small boiled va
rieties. In June apply $50 pounds
of fertilizer to one middle and
week or ten days later apply the
same amount in the other. The
first to the tenth Of June apply 15O
pounds Of nitrate OF soda. Thus the
whole amount of fertilizer would be
two and a half tons and $50 pounds
Of nitrate Of soda. The cost Of the
fertilizer would be SIS to $50, or
about $3.50 an acre.
Now If any farmer has better
and cheaper plan for making two
bales to the acre we would like to
have it for publication. 1t looks a
little extravagant to put $50 worth
Of fertilizer on five acres of best
land, but If the lot would make ten
bales of cotton It would be a good
Investment.
The same amount Of fertilizer on
a second grade land ought to make
bale and half. If a farmer Is
reaching up after three bales to the
aero, he should use ! 1000 pounds Of
fertilizer and 20 pounds of nitrate
Of soda. If one of our hustling farm
ers will make Is bales on five acres
we will proclaim him cotton king of
the country.

There IS no doubt, as Dr.. Butler
inttmates, that, as a rule, the farm
erS in the South do not have stalks
enough on the land to make a large
crop. One stalk In a hill five or six
feet apart cannot make large crop
no matter how fertile the soil. The
notion has been that as corn grows
tall In the South it must have more
room for air. The true method is,
to breed the corn by selection to a
lower stature, ard not by stunttng it
In Us e",;y growth. have tried
checking corn on level land, and |
feel sure that on any land can
make more corn in rows with stalks

ing two or three stalks in a hill and

who works both ways and follows
the old plan of banking the earth to

checked each way and two stalks in
the hill. The crop was nearly 100
bushels an acre, but believe that on
the same land, with the same intelli-
gent cultivation that corn had, there
would have been over 100 bushels

It's first prosecution OF transactions
on the New York Cotton Exchange
blow at upward rather than down
ward prices OF cotton, and an appar-
ent intervention in behalf of contract
repudiating bear operators.
Mr.. Barrett declares that present
developments sustain the contentious
against the exchange brought by the
Farmers Union last winter before the
House committee on agriculture. AT
that time the representatives of the
big farmers organization charged
that the exchange was nothing less
than a gambling establishment, and
that its alleged bona fde" contracts
were made simply to cover up non
delivery Of cotton.
These contentious have been abso-
lutely verified by the seeming effort
of the bears to dragoon the govern
ment into aiding them in so demoral-
izing the market that they may
either be able to disregard outright
their contracts. or fiji the latter with
profit instead Of with loss. as they
would be compelled to do at present.
