SAVING THE
COTTON CROP

The review of Reviews in recent
article outlined the work accomplished
by the Farmers Cooperative Demon
stration Work. The article is repro
duced here, together with an illustTa-
ton showing the results accomplished
in Texas field.
The work was precipitated by the
advent of the boll-weevil into Texas,
an event which threatened to become
a public calamity, but which in more
than one way has proven to be a
blessing in disguise, The country as
whole, especially the great cotton
producing section, was panic-stricken,
and it became necessary for the gen.
eral government to take some action
to restore confid nee by saving the
crop. This it did, when, in 1904, the
bureau of plant industry inaugurated
a movement at first known as the
cotton demonstration work, but later
called the farmers cooperative dem
onstration work, the name which it
now bears. At the head of this move
ment is DR.. Seamon A. Knapp.
The primary object was to show
that a good yield of cotton can be
made in spite of the weevil, and the
effort to do this has been rewarded
with remarkable success. | have be-
fore me now an affidavit made by
some of the most influential farmers,
merchants and bankers of Trinity
county, Texas, affirming that the in
crease in bank deposits and the sell
county to be 100 per cent better of
than before the appearance of the
weevil that the rental value of lands
cultivated wholly in cotton has in
creased seventy-four per cent; that
the lands produce more cotton to the
acre than before. and that the weevll
| problem was solved by the aid OF the
/ farmers demonstration work. A part
( of the prosperity comes from the
! fact that the weevil caused farmers to
turn their attention to some extent
to the raising of food crops, but that
does not alter the fact that the Knapp
experiments show cotton lands to have
actually increased in value and yield
in spite of the weevil.
The restoration of confidence in
the delta country of Mississippi and
Louisiana during the past two years
has alone been worth the cost of the
whole work up to this time. The
presence of the weevil and bad
weather conditions threatened the loss
of almost the entire crop, when DR.,
Knapps men went into the section
and saved the situation. Last year in
) Louisiana in spite of the weevil and
an almost unprecedentedly bad sea

spectators, President McAleer instruct
ed Secretary c. E Fowler TO notify all
umpires that the next evidence of foul
play on the part of Capt. Fowler. he
was to be put out of the game and
suspended for the balance OF the sea-
son.
President McAleer had Captain
Fowler on the carpet Saturday night
at a special meeting called by him in
the morning, to consider protested
games. fines. and dirty ball" He ad-
vised the Hammond player that his
tactics were not relished by the league
and warned him not to resort TO any
..rough-neck.' methods in future. His
warning had little effect however.
judging by yesterdays performance.
and the president is now determined TO
use more drastic methods in enforcing
his demand for clean ball.
The plays that, were called into
question yesterday were one in the
seventh innirg when Fowler shoulder
ed Hascall. one of the East Chicago
players, throwing him several feet and
another in the eighth inning, when he
smashed Beach with a ball, staggering
him.
The fact that there was not even tho
excuse of East Chicago having the adj
vantage of Hammond at the time the
questionable plays were made, makes
them all the more inexcusable in the
|cyes of President McAleer. Hammond
was ahead. and the victims of both
1.-THE rowdy attacks, were plainly out
when Fowler visited his unsportsman-
like methods upon them. The situation
was not critical and there was not
even the excuse of misdirected ardor to
win the game to atone for the foul
plays 1t looked to the spectators like
a ruthless desire on the part OF the
player TO bully. Physically this is a
comparatively safe proposition for
Fowler az he is a man of unusual size
and strength.
In speaking Of the situation yester-
day President McAleer said One dirty
player can be the means of demoraliz-
ing the entire league. The rest of the
men will not stand for 1t. They will
naturally try to retaliate and l do not
propose to have this little league,
which has been started under particu
larly favorable circumstances, handi-
capped by any roughneck tactics.
This league has had splendid adver-
Using both by the local press and by
the press of Chicago 1t is in a fair
way to becoming a recognized factor
in the minor leagues 1t would be too
bad to have II discredited because one
player chooses to employ tactics which
are intolerable to true sportsmen."
President McA1eer's forceful methods
| in nipping in the bud the practice of
betting at the ball games, has received
the applause OF all Interested in clean
ball 1t is epected that his present die
tum regarding dirty plays will be
equally effective.
