Estimate of Cotton Reduction.

That the most conservative
figures for II principal cotton
growing States show a total re-
duction Of 071,750 acres was
the statement contained in a re-
port issued by E. J. Watson,
commissioner of agriculture of
South Carolina and president of
the Southern Cotton congress
on TIE results obtained under
the Rock Hill plan" for reduc-
tion of cotton acreage. which
was inaugurated by John G.
Anderson of Rock Hill. The re-
port which was addressed to the
members of the ,,otton congress,
places the acreage reduction at
about Is per cent. According
to the report received Commis-
sioner Watson estimated that
the crop this year will be about
100000 bales less than 1911.
If as much cotton per acre
is produced as was done in 1911,
a contingency that is not oply
most unlikely but practically
an impossibility, then by the re-
duction of the acreage alone
there will in 1912 be 2,522, 225
less 500 ID. bales of cotton in the
1912 crop than in the 1911 crop.
There having been poor prepa-
rations of seed beds in many of
the States and very late plant
ing, and all the uncertainties of
a growing crop are yet to be en-
countered.
The best authorities esti-
mate the carry-over from the
1911 crop into the next season
at only 2,OOO. 900 bales.

being built at the place where
the Old Carolina, Cumberland

Grape Juice and Chill Sauce

My dear Miss Doom:
/ am a constant reader of the Evening
Star. and would be very pleased If you
would send me a recipe for grape VINE
and also Chill sauce, as l have used many
of your valuable recipes, and value them
very much. Thanking YOU in return, l
am. yours truly, MRS. McG.
Grape Wine-Here are several rec
ipes for grape wine. Take your
choice:
% Mash sound ripe grapes in an
earthen pan with your hands. or IL
not with your hands, with a per-
fectly tasteless stick of wood. DO
not crush the seeds. Strain the IL
quor into a cask, gently squeeze the
pulp, strain the remainder of the
juice into the cask. Let it stand for
a fortnight, then draw it off into
another cask, and cover. the bung-
hole with a piece of slate until all
fermentation has ceased. Bottle in
six months, cork and seal. 1t will
be drinkable in twelve months.
CD Put ten pounds fresh grapes
into a large jar or crock. Pour three
quarts of boiling water over them,
and when the water is cold enough
to permit squeeze the grapes well
with the hands. Let the jar remain
covered with a cloth three or four
days, then press out the grapes and
add five pounds of sugar. Let 1t re-
main for one week, skim and strain
carefully, then bottle and cork loose
ly. When fermentation is completed
strain and seal tightly.
CD Put twenty pounds of ripe
grapes into a stone jar and pour over
them six quarts of boiling water.
When sufficiently cool squeeze the
grapes with the hands. Cover the
jar with a cloth, let it stand three
days, then press out the juice. Add
ten pounds crushed sugar. Let it
stand a week, then skim, strain and
bottle, corking loosely. When fer
mentation is complete strain again,
bottle and cork tightly. Lay on side
in cool place.

overripe grapes, allow one quart of

Mrs. F. w.

The wife had a perfect right to go
to the place you mention, but I
scarcely think it was either a wise or
dlgniied course for her to pursue. |
am a firm believer in equality in the
marriage relationship, but l do not
think a woman would care TO stand
up against a bar and have, a sociable
glass with her husbands friends any
more than the husband would care to
become a member of his wife's sew
ing circle. There are sex distinctions
which we have to recognize
even in equality. A mans
superior physical strength is
supplemented by the liner fibre of
a woman's nature. What he can
stand without a shock to h~is-shall
we say sensibilities-would in most
cases be repellent to her more deli
cate nature. These supplementary
qualities are essential TO the preser-
walton of attraction with the gaining
of equality and form the argument
with which we can meet all state
ments that political equality viii do
away with mans care of woman and
his chivalry toward her.
! can understand the poor little
wife's desperate loneliness and the
feeling which made her follow her
husband. but | am sure she didn't en-
joy being at that place oil find
pleasure in her evenings companions.
If any good came from her action il
may have been an awakening on the
husbands part to what it would
mean to him If the wife, through his
neglect, should make 1t q habit to
frequent similar resorts. I daresay
he won't leave her alone for an
other week. I hope they have patched
up their differences by this time, for,
If such breaches are allowed to grow,
they sometimes get beyond remedy
