NEW RULE ON COTTON.
Compress Association Adopts Rcgula.
tiOns Governing Bales.

Memphis, Tenn, May 15.-In con-
tormity to regulations promulgated at
recent conferences Of railroad repre-
sentatives and steamship agents, held
at Dallas and New Orleans. the Mis-
sissippi Valley Compress association
adopted resolutions today fixing the
uniform size of compressed cotton
bales at q inches in width and 54
inches long and the weight approx
mately 500 pounds. Requirements that
the exact condition of both the cotton
and wrapping be described in receipts
and bills of ladings were also ap-
proved.
These rules will become effective
July l, 1913.
Representatives of so COMPRESS
companies in Arkansas Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Tennessee and Louisiana at
tended the annual meeting of the COM
press association here today. Dele
gates from similar organizations in
Oklahoma and Georgia were also in
attendance.

(Yield expressed in decimals of a
bale per acre
The rather general idea exists that
the last ten years have shown a mark
ed Improvement in the yield per acre
due TO the more scientific use of fer
tilizers and new methods Of agricul-
ture.
This may apply to the individual
farmer, but it is doubtful if il will
to the State and certainly not to the
cotton belt as a whole. AS can be
seen in the accompanying tabulation
Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ok
lahoma and Texas are all going back
ward instead of forward and must be
contented with a smaller annual
yield per acre, and not a larger one.
This decrease Of yield per acre is due
probably to the boil weeyil as well
as decreasing fertility.
Alabama shows only a slight in
crease of yield and it is possible that
the weevl army now invading that
State may start it on the toboggan to-
ward d lessened yield. Georgia, North
Carolina and South Carolina are the
only three States where the yield has
shown any material increase per acre.
From 1898 10 1897 Georgia, with
cotton at four and five cents per
pound (Which practically prohibits
the use Of fertilizers) averaged .35 of
a bale per acre, while from 1908 TO
1912 inclusive, with cotton averaging
over 12c and permitting intense ferti-
lization, that State averages AZ of a
bale per acre. VIII the difference OF
.07 of a bale-let us say 35 pounds of
lint cotton-pay the difference in the
cost Of fertilizer today and in 1893 to
1897?
North Carolina jumps from 40 OF
bale in 1898 TO 1897 10 SO of a bale
in 1908 to 1912. Does 10 of O bale,
or say 80 pounds per acre, pay the
difference in cost?
South Carolina shows .08 or 40
pounds per acre difference. Is it
worth the price?
The truth Of the matter is that the
increase in the size of the cotton
crops is due wholly to the increase OF
acreage, and farming Is not an in
viting occupation to those not born to
it's trials and tribulations, and we need
not expect any sharp increase in
acreage until the profit invites novices
to experiment in cotton farming.
About ninety-five percent OF those
who can raise cotton profitably at
eight and ten cents per pound live i'm
apartment houses in Harlem or COM
mute from New Jersey and do their
farming on paper
The gradual decrease in fertility of
the older lands, and the added march
of the boil weevil over Sherman's ia
nous pilgrimage will, we think, equal
any and all additions because of fer
tilization and scientific farming. The
United States will continue to raise
about .3S to 40 of a bale per acre
and if we want twenty million bale
crops we must plant fifty million acres
of land.
Keep this chart.
Yours very truly,

NO MILITARY DEMONSTRATIONS
PRESIDENT WILSON DENIES RE-
PORT THAT PRECAUTION-
AIRY MEASURES WILL
BE TAKEN.
Navy and Army Will Remain Quiet
While Negotiations with Japan are
Being Carried On--Promise OF
Early Settlement of Japanese Qucs-
ton.

Washington, May 15.-President
Wilson has determined that no war
ships or troops shall be moved or
anything resembling a military or ma
val demonstration carried on by the
United States while diplomatic ne
gotiations with Japan concerning
the California legislation are in pro-
gress so that no alarming interpreta-
ton can be placed on even the ordi-
nary manoeuvres of the army and
navy.
This decision of the president was
announced at the White House to-
night 1t answered a report current
in official circles late in the day that
precautionary movements by the
army and navy were contemplated
and had been discussed at a con-
ference between the president and
Secretary Daniels of the navy depart
ment, Secretary Garrison Of the war
department and Acting Secretary
| [. +.
Moore went to the White House, il
was explained, to discuss the framing
of reply to the recent Japanese pro-
test against the California land leg
islation while the war and navy Sec
retaries called to discuss routine af-
fairs of their departments.
] White uonca i,
been no change in the diplomatic
phases of the japanese question and
that the situation was promising of
an early settlement. 1t was emphati-
cally denied that army or navy ma
noeuvres, or movements of any kind
not included in, the ordinary plans
arranged months in advance of exc
cution, had been contemplated at any
time.
The rumor which called forth the
White House statements probably
originated earlier in the day when the
war department made public orders
that three officers and two companies
of coast artillery were to sail frem San
Francisco for Honolulu about May
"a. These orders, 1t was explained
We're in conformity with the pro-
gramme for the creation of a per-
manent and sufficient garrison in

report Of the secretary of war, and

MASS MEETING TO
Be HELD TUESDAY
IN DRY CAMPAIGN
Senators Jones and Works viii
Speak in Behalf of Measure
Which Bears Their Name.

! with Senators Jones Of Texas, Works
of California, and Senator-elect Shep-
herd billed as the principal speakers.
a mass meeting of residents of the
District who want saloons eradicated
from the residential section, larger
dry" zones around school buildings,
and reduction Of the number of saloons
in the business section, will be hehs
at the Wesley NJ. E. Church. Fifth and
F streets northwest, next Tuesday even
Ing at o'clock.
The object Of the gathering, those
in charge Of 1t say. win be to add re-
newed vigor to the campaign for the
passage of the Jones-works bill by the
House. The measure already has been
unanimously approved by the Senate,
and is now pending before the House
District Committee.
Senators Jones and Works were mem
bers Of the subcommittee of the SEN
ate District Committee which made an
investigation of the extent and results
of the liquor traffic In the National
Capital. They both. as result OF
their Investigation, took charge Of the
passage OF the bill, which bears their
names, through the Senate. This mea>
sure provides for more restricted liquor
traffic in Washington. Mr.. Shepherd
has recently completed a campaign in
Texas, in which he won the Senate toga
through his temperance advocacy.
