the planting of it here had been a planted and the longer it is per mitted here the farther the valley falls. It is easier to fall down hill than uphill There is, too, the danger the boil weevil which has infected practically the whole cotton growing district of the south and has even penetrated the sea island cotton re- zion. It is more easily intrduced wherever short cotton is grown for the reason that less precaution is taken against it in the introduction of the seed.
 As to the present season, Mr. Hud- son said, There would be between
 10000 and 15,000 acres planted. He would advise planting not later than April 1 and the planting of none on raw land. The land should be care fully prepared, double narrowed and double disced. Not more land should
 be prepared in one day than could be
 planted that day if one desired to
 be sure of good stand. This done, if there had been a proper selection
 
 than a bale an acre: it might reach a bale and a half. Our slogan should be- said Mir Hudson, "A bale an acre or better A farmer who cannot raise a bale of cotton an acre is not good farmer: he is an undesirable citizen" It was at this point that Dr. SWingie declared that cotton raising was the keystone of agriculture in this val ley, because it fits in well wit, all other crops. It could be made not only highly profitable but it would
 result in the cleaning up of land, es pecially old alfalfa fields which had been permitted to become foul. Then. there was the new, clean money which it would bring in annually. Then, too would be the oil cake for the live stock.
 He believed that the limit of acreage in the valley for cotton would be from 10000 to 50.000 acres because that would probably be the limit of i the labor supply. T think, lie said in conclusion, when the business men cf the valley fully understand this i matter they will cooperate with the farmers against short cotton: that | they will do what they can to dis courage the raising of short cotton: | that they will back no man who wants l to raise it and that ultimately, any ! man who raises it or in any way en- courages the raising of it will be re- garded as an enemy of the valley. = Mr Hudson, one-fourth of whose | time is given to agriculture extension work in connection with cotton culti- vation, the rest being devoted to government experiments, said that 1 the farmers are well organized and hat great interest is being taken in | the experiments at Mesa and Chandler

PREDICTS BRITISH
 DEMAND AT 2S CTS.
Income of Three Million Possible, If All Help to Prevent Hybridization; Here Only Are All Condi- tions Right

The cultivation of Egyptian cotton is the keystone of agriculture in this valley, is the opinion of two gentle men expert in agriculture, Dr. Walter T. Swingle and Dr. T. H. kearney of the agriculture department. But the keystone is not easily put in. It required not only the work of the farmers who bear the burden of the new enterprise, but in the cir cumstances which surround it in this valley, it must have the backing of all business men. This backing need not be in the form of money but of encouragement of the Egyptian cotton industry and the discourage ment of the short cotton industry which menaces the former.
 The business men will likely be moved to extend this aid when they are fully informed what the develop ment of the Egyptian cotton industry means to the Valley; when they come to understand that this year it will mean the bringing of a $l,000,00 new money and that when the enterprise is fully developed an annual revenue of from $3,000, GOO to the valley
 But" said Dr. Swingle. There can be no realization of this prospect if short cotton is permitted to gain a foothold. l do not see why farm CTS should raise short cotton here The profits of short cotton growing are uncertain anywhere; even in the south on cheap land where labor is cheap and where the crops are growr close to SeabOard.
 All the conditions here are favor able to the certain and uninterrupted |, success of the long staple cotton. Il has been grown here for eight years and in only one year was it unprOfit able; that was the first year of the war when it brought only from IA tC 16 a pound, in consequence of the decentralization of the cotton business all over the world. But even then good farmers; those who could make a bale to the acre came out witt

 REGENERATION IF EUROPE

A few more such wars and ECrOpe will be devastated. and those who are left with any strength or spirit will seek another sphere for their ener- eies. That is why the peace at the end of the var must be established on such strong elements that tna fW- ture may be for long time preserved against brutal force not one that will | lead to further wars by unjust treat meat towards the independence of any nation
 As to the possible basis of such a peace Prince Albert said:
 "rhe best basis is that of neutral i ity It is a complicated problem but with the exercise of good will not be in- soluble. On this principle there need be no intrusion of political or extra i territorial ambitions. Politics will be- | come internal, not movements invoiv i ing other countries
 of all the regrettahe features of the war" Prince Albert added, none is more regrettable than ,he loss by Germany Of her splendid opportunity for benefitting humanity. Germans were everywhere received hY all other countries, ill friendly and admiring spirit. They were regarded without distrust and the greatest attention ! was paid to what Germany was do- i ing or though to be doing, for prog ress and the advance of civilization ' There was much in her efforts and achievements to admire.

But this opportunity the Ger i mans have now compromised by great mistakes: and for years to come they have alienated the sympathies and 1 lost the confidence of other nations.
 Prince Albert Of Monaco has won a 1 more solid reputation as an oceano- ; grapher and man of science than as the ruler of the small but famous | principality from which he takes his i title. When not engaged on ocean eXplo- ] ration. he usually resides in Paris. His chief part in the war is concerned l with the maintenance of about 1000 beds in his principality for the use of l the wounded, and with the hospita5le ] care. at his spacious "hotel" in the Avenue du Trocadero, of weekly draft of four homeless soldiers on war leave from the front

Third suspicious Fire at College
Leads to Belief That Previous
Fires Were of Incendiary Origin.

The State Fire Marshal visited
ghestertown yesterday to make a
thorough investigation of the fires
which have occurred recently at
Washington College, in which he will
have the cooperation of States At
torney H. w. Vickers. 1t is the gen.
eral belief now that there is a pyro-
maniac at the college. This belief is
substantiated by the discovery Of a
third fire-plainly Of incendiary orr
gin-on Friday at midnight. in Mid
die Hall.
Mr.. Reeder Spedden, son of Mr..
and Mrs. John B. Spedden, who re-
side on Oakley street, this city. re-
turned to the college late on this
evening, and upon entering his room,
found his roommate reading. Mr..
| Spedden remarked to him that he
smelled smoke.
They instituted a search for the
smoke and found that it came from
a storeroom Immediately below their
room. In the place was pile of
blankets, which was smoldering un-
der a mattress, and several matches
were found lying around.
This attempt at incendiarism al
most verifies the belief that the gym

liberate attempt to burn the build
