CHICAGO MERCHANT
 MAKES STATEMENT,
After Spending Thousands of Dollars

After Spending Thousands of Dollar and Consulting the Most Eminent Physicians, He Was Desperate.
 CHICAGO, ILLS.-Mr. U. c. Becker, of I34 Van Buren St., well-known wholesale dry goods dealer, states as follows:
 ''I have had catarrh for more than thirty years. Have tried everything on earth and spent thousands of dollars for other medicines and with physicians, without getting any lasting re- lief, and can say to you that l have found Peruna the only rem edY that has cured me per- manently.
 "Peruna has also cured my wife ot catarrh. She always keeps it in the house for an attack of cold, which it invariably cures in very short time."

That citizen is the best who does his best; who has the best heart, the best character, the larg- est charity and sympathy, and who withholds from none of his fellow men the respect, privileges and protection which he claims for himself. This IS the citizenship to which we must educate ourselves; this is the citizenship which is the hope of our country.

Don't get mad and raise sand' because somebody criticises some thing you have done. It is very often true that our critics are our best friends, and while criticism is often unpleasant, it sometimes helps us to see ourselves as we really are.

It is likely that the train that carries the Arkansas delegates to the National Democratic Conven- ton at Baltimore will also be in the nature of a boosting excursion. A band will probably be taken on the train and arrangements will be made to advertise Arkansas along the line.

The Southern Pine Beetle.

DR.. A. d. Hopkins, the expert on
forest insects of the Bureau of Ento-
mology of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, viii preside al
the pine beetle section of the Southern
Commercial Congress, Nashville, Tenn,
on April 10, and will open the session
with an address on the Waste of for
est resources by insects and how to
prevent it"
DR.. Hopkins has devoted twenty
years to the study of depredations by
insects on the forest trees and forest
products of the country. and has esti-
mated that the amount OF timber killed
and reduced in value by insects repre-
sents an average loss OF S62. 10000 an
nually.
The investigations of the insects
have resulted in the. determination of
those responsible for the principal
damage and the discovery of methods
of controlling them. The practical
value of these methods has been con-
clusively demonstrated. and they have
already been put into practice to a sufi-
cient extent in public and private forests
IN Colorado, Montana, Oregon, Califor-
MA, and the South to show that a large
percentage of the great waste of forest
resources from insect depredations can
be prevented, and that, as a strictly
business proposition. it will pay.
In 1901 to ISo3. before the facts con-
eerning the Southern pine beetle were
known, it killed within two or three
years from so to 80 per cent of the
sized pine timber of the
Virginias. A similar damage threatens
the pine of the far South, but exten-
sive investigations conducted in the |
South Atlantic and Gulf States since |
Ioo2 have revealed all of the essential |
facts about this beetle and practical
of controlling it. If these
of control, which simply in
volve the proper utilization. Of the
dying trees for fuel or other products, |
are carried out according to the pub
lished advice, fdrther losses from this
beetle will certainly be prevented
E. B. Mason, chronological assistant
on forest insect investigations, will ac-
company DR.. Hopkins and explain fully
al methods of combating the Southerni
pine beetle.

The Cotton Conference

From the beginning of the nations
statistical records up to. 1000, the bal
ance in favor of the United States in
the commerce of the world was 5000
100000 This balance had. during all
that time, been solely possible through
the exports of cotton; for the value
of cotton exported in that period was
over $I3.ooo,ooo,ooo.
II is impossible to say that any such
other valuable crop is as badly treat
ed; for there is no such other equally
valuable crop. Cotton yearly means
more to the nation than all her gold
and silver mines.
The manner of handling the crop,
however. is not in keeping with its
value. 1t is most ruthlessly handled,
and practically no advance has been
made upon the methods of handling
and baling since before the war.
Careless baling, poor financing, and
a number of other elements place upon
the cotton growers of the South an
avoidable tax of at least S7S,oooyooo
year.
In order to aid in the South's agri-
cultural recovery, the executive officers
of the Southern Commercial Congress
invited Harvie Jordan, of Atlanta. Ga,
to preside over cotton conference, de-
voted solely to the subject of baling.

financing in storage. To this he con-

g. Mule BREEDING

The breadth and sweep of the pro-
gramme of the Southern Commercial
Congress receives splendid illustration
IN the section over which George McC.
Ronunel, Chief of the Division of AMI
NAL Industry of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, will preside.
Mr.. Rommel, within the Department
OF Agriculture, and many men outside
! OF It have been giving earnest
consideration to the subject of army
remounts, suitable not only for Amer
ican use, but for foreign use also. In
seeking for that portion of the country
most favorable for the breeding of
army horses, the South has been shown
! to embody the greatest number of ad-
vantages and the least number of dis
advantages. Nevertheless horse and
mule breeding in the South is still a
seriously neglected opportunity.
Every 'farmer who wishes to make
his land more valuable and produce
from 1t greater results should try to
attend the horse and mule breeding
section.
The speakers in this section are the
following: The Draft Horse in the
South" viii be discussed by E. B.
White, of Ieesburg, Va, and director
of the Percheron Society of America.
The American Saddle Horse: Al
Southern Product" will be discussed
by Gen John B. Castleman, president
of the American Saddle Horse Breed
ers Association, of Louisville, Ky.
The Mule: Its Breeding, Feed" &c,
will be discussed by ]. L. Jones, of
Columbia, Tenn, president of the Jack
Breeders Association, and probably
the countrys leading authority on the
subject. These three gentlemen will
be followed by Capt c. H. Conrad.
jr., who is in charge of the Front Royal
remount depot in Virginia. He will
speak on the source of army remounts.
The outcome of this conference will
be increased knowledge throughout the
South as to the subject of breeding,
and thus encouragement for the United |
States to scatter over the South for
breeding purposes, a number of stall |
lions of recognized merit. The in
come of the average farmer could be |
decidedly increased by giving attention |
to the breeding of horses and mules,
and this is the result which the execu-
tive officers of the Southern CONNER
cial Congress desire to see accom-
plished.

benefits of its agricultural institution,
direct to the people themselves. In fact
there are employed in the State fifteen
men whose best title is Agricultural
drummers." 1t is their business to
seek out in each rural community the
thing that should be done, and then
endeavor to exert influences until IT is
done. Possibly only one other State
in the Union exeels Georgia in the
ability of carrying education to the peo-
pie, instead OF bringing the people to
education That State is Wisconsin.

Congress viii Be De-
poted to Defining The
South's Agricultural
Recovery

In this direction there are certain
statistics, compiled by Clarence
Owens, secretary of the Southern Com.
mfrcial Congress, that should be con.
sidered because of their startling char
acter. Tables and 2 show certain
remarkable changes that have taken
place IN ten years.
The following gentlemen have been
invited to not merely produce a statis-
teal statement comparing the agricul-
tural conditions of the South in 1860
to 70 and 1910, but also define in a
brief but forcefm manner the agricul-
tural activities in each State to-day and
the expectation of the future which can
be based upon these activities:
For Alabama-R. F. Kolb, commits
sioner of agriculture, Montgomery.

Soils of the Southern States

In a statement prepared by the De
partment of Agriculture, called "Fif-
teen Years Work for the Farmers OF
the United States" and released to the
newspapers on March I8, Secretary
Wilson refers to the great advances
that have been made relative to soil
mapping and classification. These ref
erences are here quoted as giving point
to comment that should be made rela-
tive to the speaker on the subject, "The
soil resources of the Southern States"
Prof. Milton Whitney.
During the last five, years the de-
partment has pushed the fundamentai
work Of soil mapping and classifca-
ton so that now the area included Is
401,oss square miles, or nearly l1,00o,-
900 acres. It takes but a moments
consideration to convince one that the
value Of this work is incalculable. Il
aids settlers to select the proper soils
for the line Of agriculture they wish
to follow, and calls the attention of
farmers to the possibilities OF the soil
on their own farms, to the opportuni-
ties for diversifcetion of crops and
for other necessary changes. Added
to this y the value of the work as a
basis for experimentation by scientific
investigators. This value will grow
as time goes by and as the work IL
used by specialists In farm manage
ment, crop selection. seed selection,
and in plant breeding. While chart
ing the soils the Laboratories IN Wash
ington have studied the organic soil
constituents and identified substances
derived from organic matter that are
harmful or beneficial making dis
coveries that have broadened existing
theories Of soil fertility and pointed
to better practices in management.
Some Startling Figures.
Prof. Milton Whitney,, chief of the
Bureau of Soils since 1904, has been
the managing head of the great soil
The Washington herald., 1912-03-23

mapping campaign which has been car
ried on so effectively, and which justi-
fies Secretary Wilson in claiming a sur
vey of 100000 acres. Prof Whit
neys name has become WILDLY known
throughout the South. His visit to
Nashville will permit much wider ac-
quaintanceship, and the South will be
glad to do honor to a man whose Off
cial acts have so largely aided the South
in reaching an understanding as to soil
types and possibilities. The figures re-
garding the unused resources of the
South which viii be officially put forth
by Prof. Whitney will not merely in
terest and encourage the South, but
they have the possibilities of startling
the nation, for, speaking in broad
terms, it IS q fact that out of 6o4yoooooo
acres IN the South there are only about
100000 under cultivation. Leaving
an area for the correct balance of for
ests and agriculture, it is a fact that
nearly 100000 acres of the South,
suitable for farming, have never yet
been utilized. Furthermore, that out
of 100000 acres of land suitable for
truck growing, only about per cent
has yet been applied to its best use.
Biosraphicai Notes:
Milton whitney was born In Balti-
more. Nd, August .. 1850. He received
his early education In the common
schools. and later attended Johns Hop
kfns University. Mr.. whitney has
played a prominent part IN the agricuI-
tural history OF this nation. having
held important positions IN that fine
In great many States of the Union.
He has been chief OF the .Bureau Of
Soils in the United States Department
of Agriculture since 1894. Mr.. Whit
ney Is the author OF many reports on
soil physics and the. relation of soil
studies to agriculture.

known throughout the South as one
who has labored long and faithfully in
the interest of cotton growers. This
will be seen by glance at the bio
