How to Succeed With Alfalfa.

1t is pretty well demonstrated that
alfalfa will grow and afford a large
yield of good forage wherever the fol-
lowing conditions exist:
1. A well drained soil, with waite,
not standing closer than four or five
feet Of the surface and preferably at
a much lower depth.
z. soil naturally containing one
per cent or more Of calcium carbon
ate. or on which three or four tons of
ground limestone Is applied every four
or five years.
3. a soil, naturally rich, or one Of
fair natural fertility made rich by the
use OF fertilizers.
4. A soil sufficiently inoculated with
the germs which live on the roots OF
the alfalfa plants and help them to
get nitrogen from the air.

THE FIELD FOR THE SOUTH.

Some time ago Mr.. J. b. Duke pro-
posed plan for cotton warehouses
In the south. We have heard that his
proposal was allowed to languish be-
cause of the illness OF the New York
financier associated with Mr.. Duke.
It seems that now is the time to re-
vive that project and to revive it in
q hurry.
One feature Of It would be crippled
during the foreign var, for Il was
proposed to have the cotton certifi-
Gates accepted abroad just as cur
rency, but In these times nothing but
gold will do. However. there are 9TH
ar features OF the warehouse plan
which would be great blessing If put
into effect at once.
The south just at this time needs a
man such as Mr.. Duke to take charge
Of the selling Of our southern made
textiles and famrics. He has the
means and the ability to organize a
force of statesmen that would cause
southern textile to supplant German
and English In South American
states. The United States, thanks to
Mr.. Wilson and Secretary Bryan, is In
very friendly relations now with
South American states. and our man
ufactured products should easily find
reception there which would estab-
lish our trade for all time.
It does seem that the south could
grow and manufacture and ship cot
ton cheaper than 1t could be done
through Europe as a middle man. One
handicap has been the lack OF mer-
chant marine. Why could not q man
like Mr.. Duke organize company
and lease or purchase merchant ves-
sells now lying idle in the ports of
other countries-and some flying for
eign flags are lying idle in the ports
OF the United States dodglng the hos
tile warships riding all the seas of the
world?
This is big undertaking but will
make the south rich. independent and
powerful, and the man who heads the
proposition will become the greatest
man in American commerce.
Mr.. Duke has turned loose a lot Of
money In the south that he has gath
cred from the four corners Of the
earth, whittier he has carried Ameri-
can made cigarettes and smoking and
chewing tobacco. No doubt he could
be interested In this proposition, for
ii is no philanthropy, but u gigantic
commercial enterprise, such as he
likes to undertake There may be
others who could put the proposition
through. but we mention Mr.. Duke be-
cause he has the means. he has the
vision, and he is yet young and Wig
orous.
Another reason we suggest Mr..
Duke as the proper man to undertake
this is because he has already sue
ceeded 80 brilliantly in pushing his
own goods in China.
About FIVE years ago, when the
Boxer uprising in China had been put
down and It had become possible for
Americans to 30 into China, Mr.. Duke
put . force Of salesmen to work there
and they. through our moderun bps-
mess methods, have caused Ameri-
can made goods 10 have tremendous

Our South American Opportunity.
David Clark. editor Of the South
ern Textile Bulletin, Charlotte, N. g..
believes that we have an opportunity
at this time Of acquiring the cotton
goods trade of South America and
says editorially:
There are now over 10000, 900 peo-
pie South of the Panama Canal and
according to the Bureau OF Latin
American affairs they are purchasing
from Europe more than $500, ,00O. 900
OF goods annually, five-sixths of
which could and should be supplied
by the United States. while Eurona
is at war we have the opportunity of
la life time to secure trade which
rightfully belongs to- this country.
Our total exports to South America
do not now exceed $3.50, 600, 900
whereas we buy from them $780,
100000 in coffee and rubber COM
bined while hides, copper. sugar and
wool make another 10000 900 and
other products bring the imports into
the United States from South Amer

The scientists today, with the lab
oratory and microscope are giving us
maLy life-saying agents that If we
only avail ourselves of these benefits
many lives will be saved that would
otherwise be lost One narrow-mind-
ed ykeptic or fanatic in a neighbor-
hood can be and frequently Is re-
sponsible for the loss of more lives
than they bring into the world.
Anti-toXin is not the only discoy-
cry about the disease controlling
agents that has given to us during
the past twenty years. We know
more about the causes Of diseases
than we knew nineteen years ago,
Ninteen years ago We believed the
cause for malaria to be miasma
and that living in dug-outs or sod
houses, and turning over the virgin
soil. Gecaying vegetable matter on
the lowlands and creeks resulting
from excessive rainfall, were the
causes of malaria. Today we know
that the mosquito is the cause Of the
disease and the mosquito must bite
an individual with malaria and trans
fer this poison from an infected in
dividual to a nOn-infected individual.
We are learning how to ferret out
and locate the cause of typhoid fever
anG we have known for years what
caused smallpox. Many children were
treated for catarrh and lost their
hearing together with impaired eye
sight: but today we know that it is
adenoids and enlarged tonsils, and
that enlarged tonsils are also great
factor in causing rheumatism.
If you will recall years of the past
and compare them to the present we
will gain some slight conception of
the great progress modern medicine
is making in preventing diseases,
curing and restoring to health many
who in years past would have had
passed upon them the verdict of an
disease.
