and has been forced to buy them.
Boil Weevil Here to Stay
This is an old lesson but it cannot be
hammered home too often. Surely the
day is fast approaching when the major
ity of the farmers of the south will grasp
truth so palpable. The boil weevil the
most consistent zoe to the cotton indus
try has come to stay, and here expe-
rience teaches another lesson, and that is
mot only can the weevil be held more
effectually in check-by planting n
smaller area in cotton, and following the
new methods advocated by the agricul-
raj department, but, also a greater pro-
duction per acre, if not in the grand to-
tai that can be obtained This is
two-fold benefit. The greater production
per acre inshres a greater proportionate
proht-and the smaller area cultivated IN
cotton Ensures moro tim to devote to the
cultivation of corn. hay and cattle, three
important and necessary commodities, and
in the study of which every southern
farmer ought to be earnestly engaged.

The Comptroller Of the Currency

some OF the very successful admin
traitors of the comptroller's bureau were
men who had little or no experience as
bankers. That was especially true of
Comptroller Eccles, who. in fact, was as
tonished when President Cleveland named
him comptroller of the currency for he had
been ambitious to be appointed to some
legal office under the government. His
administration of the comptrolers office
is now one of the best traditions of that
office, and 1t was so successful as to at
tract the attention of men of banking cap
ital in Chicago who invited Mr.. Eccles

soil has peculiar adaptability to produce,
with the very natural result that large
number of its farmers, who should be
rolling in wealth, have methodicaly fallen
into rut of making bare living; per-
mitting their children to drift into the
manufacturing centers, leaving behind
them a life of comfort and competency,
for one of toll and uncertainty. Loaded
with debt and bound to a system out Of
date, the south has struggled blndly Cor
years, while illteracy like a grim spec
tire, has contributed most toward keeping
the shackles riveted to its feet.
Light is Coming to South
No teacher instructs SO thoroughly as
experience. Its lessons are sometimes Sc
we're and obtained at great cost. but they
are permanent. The light is coming to the
south, and it is coming through eXpe-
thence, illustrated and pointed out by the
agricultural department. Experience has
taught that corn can be produced in the
south through the methods of intensive
cultivation, the equal both in quantity
and quality to that produced in any of the
so-called corn states.
Experience has taught that cattle can
be raised in the SOUTH and that the eli
mate, pastorage and all conditions are
more favorable to this industry, or at
least as much so, as any other Sec
ton of the republic Experience has
taught that hay, alfalfa, clover and other
brands can be produced in the south on
equal terms with any other section of tine
United States. In the past the south has
produced its immense cotton crops, and
has been a consistent purchaser from 9TH
ers of all these commodities and others
in no greater favorable climatic or naIu-
raj position to produce them. Thus has
the south stabbed itself in two places

the market would stand, she has received

1t Will Be Inevitable

The better the members of the federal
board, which is to have final and complete
authority over the national banks, admin
lister their office the greater the likeli-
hood that they will receive remunerative
offers of responsible positions in national
banks.
When the Clearing House association of
this city decided to appoint an executive
officer, having exclusive Authority over
the examination of banks of the Clearing
House association, they also decided that
1t would be necessary to fix the salary for
that purpose at SO high figure that the
examiner would not be tempted by offers
from national banks. Only the committee
of the Clearing House association know
what the salary fixed for that service is.
1t is the common understanding that it is
about $4,000. The committee made choice
OF Mr.. Hanna, who had gained an en-
viable reputation as a national bank ex-
aminer.
The government of the United States
does not and will not probably pay large
enough salaries to keep men in constant
governmental administrative service, In
case men show very great ability In that
service. A national bank would willingly
pay more than the $4,000 which presum-
ably is to be the salary of each membef
of the federal board Of control Except
ing the ex-officio members, who are to be
three members of the cabinet) If thereby a
member. who has shown unusual admin
istrative and executive ability while serv-
ing on this board could be tempted to
become a bank officer.
The chances are that the federal board
may, as the treasury department and the
bureau of the comptroller of the currency
have none, prove to be stepping stones to
highly remunerative and influential posi-
tions in national banks.
