P1ECEMEAL PLAN
Pulp and Paper Schedule Can BE
Changed Without Danger

Washington. Feb. 7-secretary of
State Knox has written Chairman
Payne of the ways and means COM
mittee of thee house that an amend
ment to the wood and pulp or paper
sections of the Canadian trade agfee-
ment would not necessarily delay
its ratification. This fact was brought
out during the hearing given by the
committee today to the opponents of
the paper and wood pulp provisions.
The statement last week of Chair
nan Payne that the agreement must
stand or fall as whole. and. that
amendments could not be made was
interpreted at today's meeting by
Representative Fordney as indicating
that no change could be made in the
paper or wood pulp schedules. Rep
resentative Mccall, speaking for
Chairman Payne who was absent,
said that this prohibition against
amendments would not extend to the
section indicated.

resulted in decrease of 62 per
cent in the, crop.
From these figures it is plain that
the coming of the boil weevil to
Louisiana made cotton growing less
profitable. An interesting fact may
| be stated in this connection, as
| throwing some light on one of the
means employed in Louisiana to
compensate for the decreased cotton
production.
In 1900 the corn crop was valued
at Si2 100000 and the cotton crop
at S35, 100000 In 1910 the corn crop
was valued at $35,0OO,OOO and the
cotton crop at Si5,0O00O0.
Stated briefly, the boil weevil
lessons very materially the yield OF
cotton per acre, and since this
makes the crop less profitable, the
acreage is also decreased.
These effects are more marked
for the first two or three years after
the coming of the weevils and then
the acreage and yield per acre
will probably gradually increase for
q time at least.
Texas is now producing as much
cotton and about as much per acre
as before the coming of the boil
Weevil, but a part of the recovery
in Texas is due to the opening up
of cotton lands previously thought
too dry for cotton and SO dry as
to be unfavOrable for the boil Wee
wills. Apart from these conditions.
however, there is no doubt that af-
ter 2 to years the people
better how to overcome the attacks
of the weevil and possibly the wee
wills become less effective because
of the development of natural en-
emies. But al present there is no
good ground on which to base a
belief that the Weevils will disap-
pear or cease to be an obstacle to
cotton growing. After all explana-
tions are made, however, remains a
fact that after the coming of the
boil weevils cotton can not be made
profitably by the mas who makes
less than half a bale to the acre
land the average man makes con-
siderably less than that) by ne
sgroes without close white super
vision: on damp, cold, poorly drain
ed lands; or by any man who en-
pIoys the old and commonly used
methods of cotton growing.
On the other hand, intelligent
white men, who use the best meth
DDS of culture, in connection with
suitable farming system, will con-
tinue, from the first, to make cot
ton Drofitably. Their yields will be
smaller than the same conditions
would produce were the boil weevils
not prc>&at. but thew will still make
cotton profitably.-Progressive Far

Chicago, May 25.-Thc Illinois
Central Railroad Company has

in practical way, and for the pur-
pose of assisting those engaged in
bringing about better agricultural
conditions and to encourage the
boys in the growing OF corn and
the raising of live stock, this com
pany will give thoroughbred Po-

winning first prise in the corn club
contests at the coming county fair
this fall in every county and parish
traversed by the lines of the Him

States above mentioned.
The object in offering these
blooded animals as -prises is two.
fold. viz: To create the keenest
IN the gTJwnTg tn aorn and to a.
| Waken an interest among them in
animal hussbandry, as well as to
show them what splendid pro-
position the raising Of thorough
bred corn and thoroughbred hogs
makes, by demonstrating in prac-
tical way that it costs less to feed
and care for one of these thorough
bred swine and that the net re-
suits are infinitely greater than
have been derived heretofore with
