claiming the soldier Urquhart as their
sire, only differing in the rank they give
him and other minor particulars. but no
doubt when their cases come to be dealt
to the rich old man will prove to be
largely imaginary in a great many cases.
One man, however. gives a story which
is more circumstantial than others. He
says:
II was a boy-.at school in Ross-shire
fifty years ago. The schoolboys. when
we disagreed, called me George the
me angry. I told my father, who ex-
planned that he had a brother in the
army, and when the brother came home
on furlough he wore the feather bon
net of the Highlanders. which led to
my father being distinguished from
the other Urquharts as George the
feather My father told me the people
were angry with his brother. who mar
ried a lady above his station. My
uncle's name was Hector. My fathers
name was George. He kept an inn at
Strug. Strathglass. Inverness-shire."
Running through all these letters is
evidence OF the fact that these various
Urquharts, scattered here and there,
are Of the same branch Of the Urquhart
family. and 1T is almost certain that
there are three distinct fortunes in the
Urquhart family waiting to be claimed
by those who can establish their close
kinship with John Urquhart OF Cali
fornia, Gen. Urquhart Of India and the
railway contractor Of Australia
The mails from America, India and
Australia are awaited with interest.

TIE: NEW CoTToN VERSUS THE OLD
THIS. Is A DEMQNsTRATroNih Plot:

improved farming methods an equal
amount of cotton has been raised: and
last year our product was greater In
quantity and money than ever before.
Had there been no boil weevil and had
the same methods been used throughout
the whole cotton belt. our crop would
have been doubled and we should now
be producing as much as @OO.OOO bales
and upward year This is the estimate
of the late DR.. Seaman Knapp. the father
of the cooperative demonstration work
of the Agricultural Department through
out the south. which has proved the sal
walton of the country.
Before Dr. Knapp and his agents had
shown the planters what might be done
in cotton raising. notwithstanding the
Weevil. the farmers were In despair. They
had been raising only cotton, and the
weevil became the terror of millions. The
planters thought 1t was impossible to
fight 1t, and man who had lost big
plantation said 1t was proof against any
thing under the sun. At one of the con-
ventions he said he had put a weevil in
a bottle of alcohol which was % per cent
pure and left it there for two hours. At
the end Of that time he took it out and
put it on the table and 1t was only stag
gering drunk He then sealed a handful
of the insects in a tin can and laid 1t
upon a brush heap, which was set on fire
The flames melted the solder from the
can and the red hot weevils flew out and
burned down his barn.
Speaking seriously. however, the depart
ment estimates that the weevil has al
ready cost us millions of bales of cotton
and many millions of dollars. 1t has an
nually cost Texas more than twenty mill
lions for a series of years, and 1t is now
ravaging the states farther east
Take Mississippi. for instance, the
southern part of which state is now wee
vii covered In 1906 the cotton crop of
Adams county amounted to 23,OOO bales,
and it was more than 10000 in 1907. Then
the weevil flew in and in 1909 the yield
dropped to 700 bales The tenant farm
ers and laborers left the county in gangs.

fortune which has risen now in popular
imagination to the magic and mystic pro-
portion of millions"
Shortly after Johns death one of those
trifiing incidents occurred which some
times have such portentous results. A
passing At OF petulance threw this portion
OF the Urquhart millions into chancery.
and was the cause afterward OF so much
excitement and searching of genealogies.
Roderick. one OF Johns brothers, a frail
old man. received the letter announcing
his brothers death and the fact that he
had left a sum of $3.50 900 behind him. AS
he was reading il. his daughter. with
whom he lived. came into the room and
reproved him for something he had done
which had not pleased her. Angry at be-
ing so spoken to. the old man threw the
letter into the fire. remarking that he had
plenty of money OF his own and did not
want anybody else's-
Several attempts were made by the fam
lily afterward to establish a claim to the
fortune but no one was successful.
One man named Douglas pursued the
matter on the ground that he was mar

The old man laughed. hut he went with
the agent to the barn and picked out the
tools. Among his farm implements was
a subsoling plow that he said was no

land The agent insisted. however, that
Ii was all right and he did not leave until
four mules were hitched 10 il and the
ground was broken up to what the planter
said was a ruinous depth He then saw
the land narrowed. and instructed the
farmer about his seed and how to plant il.
To make long story short. the cotton
came UP with more vigor than any ever
raised on that land before. and when,
later on. the old man was asked TO run a
cultivator over the crop to cut out the
weeds and keep down the grass he re-
piled that it would ruin the cotton. and
when the agent insisted. saying he would
guarantee him against loss. the planter
gave the order. but went away with tears
III his y e. say ne conlu NOT stay
there and see his crop torn TO pieces. He
was surprised to find however. that the
cotton grew better than ever. and when,
at the end of the season. he found that
he had gotten two bales of cotton from
that acre. whereas the rest of his land
had produced less than one-fourth that
amount, he became an active government
supporter. His neighbors at first thought
ii must be in the seed and they paid him
81 a bushel for all that came from that
acre Lately he met the agent again
and in speaking of his conversion said:
Il am now over sixty years old and
have farmed forty years, but IL is only

song. 1t is the same in some counties
of Louisiana. In Pointe Copee $1,000
bales of cotton, which. including the seed,
were worth over $500. 900. were raised
in 1900 and the crop of 1907. amounting
to Al 600 bales. was worth about $4,000,
600. Then the boil weevil came. and in
1869 the crop fell to 1900 bales, or to
something like $20O.OOO. These figures
give you some idea Of what this deadly
bug means under the old cotton-raising
conditions.
There is another feature of the situa-
ton, however. which must be mentioned.
In most parts Of the cotton belt cotton
was the only crop. The planter relied
upon 1t for the money with WHICH he
bought everything else. He imported his
corn from the north and his pork came
from the store. He sent abroad for his
mules. and, with the exception perhaps of
few vegetables, raised nothing but cot
ton Moreover. he did the most of his
farming on credit. getting the store
keeper or planter for whom he worked
to furnish him his supplies for the winter,
the same to be paid out of the cotton
when it was picked. When the Weevil
wiped out the cotton he had nothing to
fall back upon, and starvation stared the
greater part of the population in the face.
This was the situation when Uncle Sam.
Patriarch. in the person of his agent, the
late DR.. Seaman A. Knapp, began to in
struct the farmer how to fight this terri
BILE bug and still make money out of his
land. DIR. Knapps plan was to teach us
how to control the weevil as far as pos
sible from season to season, and by the
proper selection of seed and by deep
blowing and narrowing to produce plants
which would yield more cotton, or, rath-
er, enough to feed the necessary weevils
and leave something to spare. His mot
to was. Double the crop by good farm
ing" or rather. 'raise the same crop
on half of the land

ing the demonstrators and their hun
dreds of agents. These men are w. B.
Mercier and Fl. f. Savely. both of Missis-
sippi. They tell me that they are rails
ing more cotton than ever before in the
sections where the demonstration work
is. and that last year on 5000 acres
which We're cultivated under such direc-
tions a total of Io.G0.0O0 pounds of seed
cotton was raised, making an average
of $50 pounds to the acre. In North Caro-
lima, where there Is no weevil as yet.
$500 pounds of seed cotton have been
raised on one acre, making a crop which,
with lint and seed. was worth $1a5. These
demonstration farms have shown
mighty increase in production over all
others about where the old methods of
farming were used. and in most localities
they are showing a profit OF SIS per acre
over that of their neighbors.
In one of the worst weevil districts
F. L. Maxwell of Louisiana grew $50
pounds of lint to the acre on planta-
ton of 2.OOO acres. and this on land
which is said to be especially favorable
to weevil production.
This demonstration work is revolution
iZing the south. Both young and old are
engaged in it. Many of the boys have
been each given an acre upon which to
raise cotton, and there are now boy cot
ton clubs as we'll as boy corn clubs.
These acre farms are to be seen every
where. and the poor farmer cannot help
knowing the big yields OF his neighbors.
The government is trying to get the
very best farmers to make the expert
ments. The agents pick out those who
are noted for their success and common
sense and ability. In many cases they
persuade the older planters to engage in
the work. and that with great difficulty.
Take, for instance. one old Georgia farm
er, who had been growing crops after the
ordinary methods for forty years. The
man stood high in his community. and 1T
took much persuasion to get him to
promise to set out acre. and work it
on the new plan. About two weeks after
that the Agricultural Department man
again appeared. He found nothing doing
and asked the planter why he was not
carrying out his part of the contract.
ITO tell the truth, my man, / never
thought you would be around again.
But you promised to set out that acre
