EAST AFRICAN
DEVELOPMENT IN
COTTON GROWING

London, July 25.--In the course OF
speech at one of the closing ses-
sions Of the international congress OF
tropical agriculture, Lewis Harcourt,
secretary of state for the colonies,
dealt with the question of cotton cul-
tivation.
1t was a mistake to think, Mr.. Har-
court said. that one could grow any
kind of cotton and be sure of finding
a market for 1t Immediately He
looked with some alarm at the ten
dency which was evident, to endeavor
to grow only, or mainly. the finer
grades Tof long staple. which COM
manded the highest prices where mar
kets could be found. For many years
to come. the staple In the industry
must remain. as in the past, OF that
quality KNOWN as mfdd1fng upland. No
doubt, Mr.. Harcourt said. the trade
OF many parts of Lancashire was tend
ing more and more towards the finer
counts and 80 consuming the prod
ucts of Egypt, Athe Sudan and many
of the colonies and protectorates. but
they were bound to bear in mind the
economic results which decreased the
quantity of the raw material consumed
and of the operatives employed In its
manufacture. The country owed, he
said, a deep debt of gratitude to the
the care, money and labor which they
had devoted to the inauguration and
control Of the cotton production OF
many of the colonies.
Proceeding, Mr. Harcourt said that
nothing was so vital to cheap cotton
as quick and economic transport. and
he was making great efforts TO I'M
prove the railway communications or
Nyasaland and Uganda by loan OF
5000. 900. for which he was asking
the authority and credit of the i'm
periai parliament. From Uganda the
export of cotton had increased FIVE
fold in fifteen years. There was,
however. Mr. Harcourt went on 10
point out. one portion OF the East
African protectorate to which he look
ed In the future with much hope and
interest, though its development might
take years to mature. He meant that
part of the northeastern frontier
which was formed by the Juha river.
He WAS toll that the Juha river waA
formed in a series OF terraces which
would make a succession of natural
barrages, II only upper courses OF ma
sonry could be added If this were
done there we're miles OF suitable land
on each side OF the river which could
be irrigated by gravitation. with n
prospect OF unlimited crops OF cotton
ana otner tropicAl products.
In conclusion Mr.. Harcourt paid a
tribute to the work carried on at the
Imperial institute by Professor Duns-
tan and his staff. The merchants. OF
! England, he said. the commerce OF
the colonies and the prosperity OF the
protectorates, owed more than they
knew. and far more than they would
ever repay, to the work and wisdom
Of those who labored within those
walls.

The American Magazine has been
offering prizes for the best letters in
a contest entitled THE Best Story |
Ever Heard" The prize winning con-
tributions are published in the August
number Following is an extract
from the letter than won second
prize. II is a true story Of the
freaks of an Iowa cyclone:
mr. r.. his wife. and eight chill
dren were living in Iowa. near the
city of Grinnell, on as pretty a farm
as one would wish to see. After a
very hot day. the three littlest folks
being fast asleep in bed, the older
members of the family sat upon the
porch in the early evening. longing
for a cooling breeze. The air had
been hot and lfeless all day, and
sunset brought little relief. though
gathering clouds gave promise OF a
cooling shower.
"About eight o'clock a strange rum
bling sound startled them: it was not
thunder and at once impressed them
with sense Of peril, for the roar
grew louder each minute. A hasty
glance TO the westward showed a
black. funnelshaped cloud coming
toward them with an ominous roar
and frightful speed, and with wild
cries OF A cyclone the celler.' Mrs,
r. caught up the baby. the father
seized the two other sleeping children.
and all made frantic rush for the
celler door The foremost one had
scarcely reached 1t when q terrific
crash overwhelmed them. The house
WAS apparently lifted up bodily and
dropped. driving some Of the timbers
