Atlanta, Ga, June 3rd One of the
reasons which have been given by Pre-
sident Finley, of the Southern Railway
Company, for advocating the adoption
by the farmers of the South Of methods
that will tend to increase the average
production of cotton per acre is that it
is of the highest Importance that the
South should preserve the great ecOno-
mic advantage which it enjoys by rea-
son of having substantial monopoly
of the production of the cotton supply
of the world. If this advantage is to
be preserved, foreign manufacturers
must not be driyen to encourage cotton
growing in other countries by the fail
ure of American planters to produce an
adequate supply. Thus far, efforts to
increase cotton production outside of
the United States have not met with
great success, but there are possibilities
in that direction in Africa, Southern
Asia and Australia. That cotton pro-
duction might successfully be carried
on in some parts of Australia is indica-
ted by the following extract from re-
port from United States Vice-ConsuI
General. Henry D. Baker, at Auckland,
New Zealand
'Cotton growiag, as an adjunct to
farming in 'suita ble districts in Queens
land, especially near the town of Ips
wich, appears to be making some pro-
gress, and to be profitable, yielding $45
to $s5 per acre, seed, and $75 to $1O0
per acre, ginned, for upland cotton, ,and
more for sea island. A bonus is given
to the grower by the Commonwealth
Government to the exteut of 10 per
cent on the invoice value. The Queens
land Department of Agriculture is max
ing strong efforts to induce farmers to
plant larger areas, particularly in the
drier areas, where grain crops are un-
certain.
s'The only cotton mills in Australia
are situated at Ipswich, Queenland.
They were constructed some IA years
ago, but little work was done until 1906,
when 57,12O pounds of raw cotton were
put through. This was increased to
IS 900 pounds in 1905. The mills were
then purchased by a Sydney firm, which
made some much needed improvements,
and who have kept them working ever
SINCE"

Mr.. D. A. Clardy is not only
one af our largest, most success
and prosperous merchants but
one of Oktibbeha's largest plant
ers. Last year he cleared about
200 acres in cotton which yield
ed him something over 100 bales
of cotton, and sold for good pric-
es. Upon this plantation he
put good tenant houses. quite an
inducement for hands which he
secured without any trouble.
Last December he purchased
several hundred acres of land
9 1 9 miles Southwest Of town.
Upon this he erected splendid
tenant houses, all nicely white
waehed and would be credltable
buildings for town. AS above
stated no trouble about getting
hands.
He put in cultivation of this
tract 225 acres of cotton and ex-
poets at least 100 bales from
same, though it is estimated by
some that he may fully expect
not less than $50 bales.
This tract has been in practice
for more than forty years and
ought to make bale to the acre.
Friends of Mr.. Clardy are
watching his agricultural pur-
suits with interest and wish him
all success.
It seems that everything Duff
Clardy handles turns to gold.
