THOSE SOUTHERN LIGHTS
st. Louisan Writes to Offer Solution
TO Mystery


w. NJ. Valentin writes the Graphic
from st. Louis offering solution for
the mystery mentioned in this paper
recently in connection with the mys-
FERROUS animated lights seen in the
southern sky by Colorado people. II
will be remembered that the Colora-
doan who inquired about the lights
suggested that they were airplanes
practicing at night along the border,
Here is Mr.. Valentin's guess;
Easy enough. He sees from far
off Colorado the Star Of Hope aris-
ing from the omnipresent optimistic
spirit of all Demingites, illuminating
the sky, and attracting wise men to
Deming. This Star of Hope which
Eliminates the sky of the Mimbres
valley is visible even from greater
distances than far-off Colorado, it
can be seen from all parts Of the
United States"
N. F. Chapman Of this city, how
ever, doesn't believe those lights came
star of hope" ~ saw those lights
from anything so abstract as the
at odd times all last summer from my
ranch at Myndus," he declares. land
so did any number Of people. We
decided that il was airplanes out for
night practice, as they seemed to be
doing stunts at times, just as that
described by that Colorado fellow
II seems queer, though, that they
could be seen as far as Colorado"
That's a reasonable solution Of the
mystery. but there's one thing against
it. That is that whereas no airplanes
were known TO be operating around
Columbus while the lights were on
the job, now since the border aerial
patrol station has been established
there the lights are no longer to be
seen. Any other guesses?

year the exports fell to 9,124,5o1
bales, and during the fiscal year 1914,
which ended just prior to the out
break of the European war, 9,521 1881
bales were exported. Since that year
the exports have declined, although
1917 showed slight increase as COM
pared with 1916. Less than half as
much cotton was exported in the fiscal
year 1918 as in the fiscal year 1914.
The items which make up the 1918
total are: Exports to the United

219,973; to Mexico, 10,7OG; and to all
other countries, 4,122. The exports
to Belgium, Germany, and Austria
Hungary dropped to very small
amounts during the fiscal year 1915
(the first month Of which, July, 1914,
preceded the outbreak of the war;
and since that year no exports what
ever to those countries have been
made. The only countries the cx-
ports to which during the fiscal year
1918 exceeded those during the pre-

Cotton Manufacturing.
Massachusetts still retains it's su-
prcmacy in cotton manufacturing, the
consumption by its mills during the
year ended July 81, 1918, being 1,403,-
1l3 bales, including linters. Next in
order were North Carolina, with =
1864 bales; South Carolina, with
92,532; and Georgia, with 880,395
The mill consumption IN these four
states alone represents nearly three
t!fths of the total for the country
Since 1912 the annual consumption of
cotton in the cotton-growing states
has amounted to more than half the
total Of I the United States, the pro-
portion for 1918 being 81 per cent.
COttOnsccd and It's Products.
Of a total of 100000 tons of seed
produced in 1917, 4,251 $50 tons, or
81 per cent, were crushed. The pro-
ducts manufactured were valued at
$3.50, 1856, 6,000-an amount approx
mately 25 per cent greater than that
for 1916 and twice as great as that
for 1915. This increase in value, how
ever, was due to the great advances
in the prices of the several products
This total was made up of the follow
ing items: Cottonsccd oil, $217,902,-

showed decrease as compared with
the preceding year; but the total
value, as we'll as the value of each
product except linters, represented an
increase. The production of linters
increased from year to year between
1909 and 1916, when the total output
amounted to 1,273,345 bales, valued
at $45, 1885, 900; but the production in
1917 fell to 1,080,802 bales, valued
at $26,604,00O.
Exports of cottonseed during the
fiscal year ended June 3O,1918, aggre-
gated 783 tons; of cottonseed oil, 49,
437 ,331 gallons; and of cottonseed
cake and meal, 22,340 tons. The ex-
ports of oil and of cake and meal
were very much less in the fiscal year
1918 than during any other preced-
ing similar period in recent years.

the smallest, with the exception Of
that for 1915, shown for any year
since 1910. The outbreak of the Euro
pean war brought about demoraliz-
ed condition in the market, which had
the effect of cutting down cotton
planting in 1915, the acreage harvest
ed that year being only 31,412,000,
as against 36,832,000 for the preced-
ing year. In 1916 there was con-
siderable increase, to 34,985,0 900, but
the following year witnessed de-
cline to 33 ,S41 900 in the acreage har-
vested. The acreage planted last year
was 34,925,000, of which about 3 per
cent was abandoned. The acreage
planted in 1918, 37,073,O 900, represents
an increase of per cent over 1917.
The average production of lint per
acre in 1917, as estimated by the De-
partment Of Agriculture, was 100
pounds, which compares with 157
pounds in 1916, 40 in 1915, and 200
in 1914. The average yield per acre
in Louisiana in 1917 was 210 pounds,
in South Carolina 2OS pounds, in
North Carolina 1914 pounds, in Mis-
souri, 100 pounds, and in Arizona and
California, where cotton is grown on
irrigated land, 295 and 242 pounds,
respectively. When conditions are

acre. This is largely the result of
improved cultural methods, which in
cludc thorough preparation of the SOIL
the use of commercial fertilizers, ro-
tation Of cotton with lcguminous
crops, and frequent and intelligent
cultivation. With the more general
adoption Of intensive farming, there
may be a large increase in production
without any general extension of
acreage.
Consumption and Exports.
During the year ended July 81,
1918, the mills Of the United States
consumed 6,5GG6,489 running bales of
cotton. This consumption comprised
6,29G,756 bales Of domestic upland
cotton, 85,939 bales Of sca-island cot
ton, and 1S3,7 ,794 bales of foreign cot
ton. In addition, 1,11S,S4O bales of
lintcrs were consumed. The stocks
held i'm the country on July 81, 1918,
aggregated 3,450,1SS bales of lint cot
ton and 439,917 bales of lintcrs.
The exports during the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1918, 4,641 ,O23 cquiva-
lent 500-pound bales, were less than
for any preceding year since 1893, and
fell below those of 1917 (6,176162
