COTTON CROP OF 1922
By W. A. McRae, Commissioner of
Agriculture

Agriculture
Florida used to grow five times as
much cotton as she does inow. The
state is better off for the change from
cotton to other products. A few coun
ties still persist in raising it to some
extent, the crop of the state being for
the year 1921, approximately $1,000
bales of short staple. The growing
of long staple cotton has decreased
even at a greater ratio than short
staple. The factory which handled
long staple cotton has been moved
from Florida to Arizona
The nation has been going through
a period of financial depression. The
states hardest hit by this depression
are those in which cotton is the lead
ing crop.
The prospect for cotton prices this
year are not f1attering. Cotton should
be grown only as side line and not
as a main crop in this state. Speak
ing in general terms we should raise
more of the things that we are i'm
porting: meat, dairy and poultry pro-
ducts. Every farmer should be able
to produce sufficient for home con-
sumption of these articles.
To those who purpose planting cot
ton few suggestions might be worth
while:
1. Plant only a small acreage to
the pillow and that on good well drain
ed land.
2. Plant the best seed possible to
get and from early maturing varie-
ties.
8. Plant early.
4. Fertilize well.
5. Cultivate often and well.
6. Plant as far away as practical
BILE from hedge rows and rubbish,
where the boil weevil can hibernate.
7. Pick up the first squares that
1all and burn them.
8. If seed is to be purchased, get
them from non-infected farms, if pos
sible.
These directions are not hard to
follow. They only ask the farmer to
plant and handle his cotton crop in
business like way.

The Valley of Roses in Peril.

Bulgaria's famous Valley of Roses
is great flower garden which has
an international significance. From
ii for years came as much as 90 per
cent. of the worlds production OF
altar of roses that fragrant, volatile
essential oil useful to the chemist
and indispensable as an ingredient
in the manufacture OF perfumes and
toilet articles used by the women of
the world. In this beauty spot Of
the Balkans has appeared a disease
resembling phylloxera, which caused
such havoc in the vineyards Of
France and the Rhine region. Ii the
horticultural experts have no better
success in checking its spread than
they have had IL the past it will
soon cost the fowery valley all of
its enchantment.
The Valley of Roses, of which the
two principal points arc Kazanlyk
and Karlovo, lies in central Bulgaria,
well sheltered from the winds on the
north by the Balkan mountains and
on the south by two ranges parallel
to them, the Sredna Cora and Karaja
Dagh. At the height of the industry
the area of tho rose fields was about
q, 900 acres. Travellers have written
much of the picturesqueness OF the
valley, describing its beauty at the
blooming season as greater than that
Of the rose fields OF southern France
and as being equaled only by the
flower valleys of Cashmere, to which
it bears a marked resemblance.
AS a national industry the cultiva.
tion of roses began almost with the
independence OF Bulgaria from the
Turkish rule. The chief feature Of
the work, which is much the same as
that of agriculture in other parts OF
the country. is the zadruga, or com"
munity house, a patriarchal institu-
tion that goes back to the earliest
times in the history of the Bulgar

house father and a house mother,
and who dwell and work together In
the observance OF strictly communis-
tic principles.
The Bulgars' fondness for roses
and their wonderful skill in develop
ing the finest qualities of the flower
has by many persons been considered
one Of the strange inconsistencies in
the lives of these dour hard headed
taciturn people. The industry was
at its best at the beginning Of this
century and the annual production
from 1900 TO 1912 was about 1885, 800

he scrutinized in their light-or dark
ness.
He should be credited with having
carefully rehearsed his chorus TO sing
the formidable slow numbers with con-
siderable steadiness and the quick ones
with conmendable spirit and precision.
The GLORIA" and the Cum sancto
spiritu" were inspiring. Other portions
OF the great work had similar force. Mr..
SCHNEIDER tried no experiments in nu-
anoing. and, to the relief of experienced
listeners to the work. indulged in no
protracted ritardandi. His chorus on
the whole sang well. There were little
uncertainty and few lapses from pitch.
The soloists also sang we'll. Nine.
Easton especially well. The flute music
was safe in the care of Mr.. Barrere.
Messrs Glantz and Heinrich performed
the difficult trumpet parts excellently
and Messrs. Bottesini and Santangelo
used their oboi d'amore as il they had
grown up with them. The weak obbligato
was the violin solo In the "Laudamus te."
The audience, which ettentively lis
tened to the mass seemed eager to find
opportunities for outbursts of enthusias-
tic applause. but Bach, bowed before the
altar of his God. had taken no account
of such desires.

How England Holds Her Sons.

Let anybody who wonders how
England holds together a far flung
empire attend to the brief but illumi-
mating story of the fourth Earl of
Ducie.
The MogEToys are an old Glouces-
tcrshire family, with an estate of
$4,000 acres and a great house. Tort
worth Court, at Falfeld. BERKELEY
BASIL MoREToN, fourth son of the
second Earl, was born there in 1894.
His father died in 1853 and the earl
dom passed to HENRY john MoREToN,
the eldest son. Two years later the
Hon. BERKELEY BASIL. then II years
old, went out to Australia, journey
made by more than one younger son
in those days of gold seeking.
That was long time ago. In 1855
the Palmerston Government was
Just taking hold in Great Britain.
TENNYsoN penned that year the
Charge of the Light Brigade" and
MACAULAY published the third and
fourth volumes of his History. The
Hon. BERKELEY BASIL may have
taken Westward Hoi" on the ship
with him; it was just off the press.
If these facts do not fix the date per-
fectly, slet us add that Ton SAVERS
had not quite achieved the champion
ship Of England.
Australia in 1856 was strange
place for a young man who had seen
little of life except Rugby and Ok
ford. II was still so wild that the
reward of 10000 offered TO any man
who would traverse the continent
from south to north, starting at AIDE
laide, went begging. The newly dis.
covered gold fields were bringing adj
venturers from all parts of the world,
but young Mr.. MoREToN went into the
sheep business. He prospered, mar
ried and became the father OF nine
children. lie went to the Common

Fordney's Bonus Taxes.

If Chairman FoRDNEY of the Ways
and Means Committee puts his pro-
posed bonus tax on stock and bond
transfers and on real estate trans
fers. together with an extra cent on
letter postage every man that sells
securities or land and houses in open
market transactions will rise in pro-
test against him and his party.
Every man that sticks a stamp on a
letter will rise in protest.
But, at that, the bonus taxes Mr.
FoRDNEy so far announces will not
provide nearly enough money to pay
the bonus. His estimate of the yield
from a bonus tax of one-fifth of 1 per
cent. on the stock and bond trans
fers is $l90.000,000 a year: from a
bonus tax of one-half of per cent.
on the real estate transfers, $50,000,-
900 a year, and from the three cent
stamp, instead of the present two
cent stamp, on every letter, $780,
100000. These special bonus taxes
put together give an estimated yield
of $310,000,000 a year.
The army and navy experts, how
ever, who have been figuring on the
money requirements to cover the
bonus payments, now conclude that
Secretary of the Treasury MELONS
minimum estimate OF $425,000,00 a
year needed for the first two years
is, if anything, too low. On the as
sumption that the actual require
ments would be only $50,0O0,000 a
year more than Secretary MELONS
minimum estimate, though it would
be likely to go $100,000,000 a year
more, there still would have to be
raised by special bonus taxes another
S165, 100000 year after the bonus
taxes had been fixed on stock and
bond transfers, real estate sales and
letter postage.
A bonus tax on cigarettes and
other tobacco, as suggested by Sec
retary MELLON, on top OF all the to-
bacco taxes now in force, would yield
$25 100000. A bonus two cent stamp
tax on every bank check written
would produce $30,000,O0O. A bonus
stamp tax on receipts and similar
documents would produce $40. 900.
These taxes would get $95,000,000 of
the lacking $165, 100000. Undoubt-
edly bonus tax on tea, coffee and
sugar could be made to provide the
remaining $70,000,000.
SO Chairman FoRpSEY undoubtedly
can raise the money to pay the
bonus; but the special taxes he will
have to put on the American people
to do it will place him and his polit-
ical party in jeopardy.

SINGS SEVERAL NEW SONGS.
vladimir Rostng Gives n Varied
Program at Recital.

Vladimir Rosing, giving his fourth
song recital in Aeelian Hall yesterday
afternoon, sang long and varied pro-
gram, with many added numbers. to an
audience which filed the hall. His
selections included Russian songs, Ger
man lieder operatic airs from Prince
Igor" and "Pagliacci" and many songs
scheduled for first hearing.
He sang with his customary defects in
other than Russian diction and tonal
purity. but with his remarkably fine
dramatic power in depicting human
character and sentiments. His facial
play, used in way of emphasis. also was
remarkable, as in q new song dedicated
TO himself by Paldowski. where the hero
is an old terra Gotta faun- Runners
"Chinese Song" was new song dedi-
Gated to the singer and the closing lyric
new song by Albert Coates entitled
"Song of Don Cossack."
Before he gave this song-of mar
tial stirring strain-Mr. Rosing ad-
dressed, as it were. the composer, who
sat in the audience, saying the song
was symphony In itself and he hoped
he would be able to do Justice to 1t. The
song was very warmly received.

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY .. 1922,
A Smashing Goes Wrong.

There seems to be nothing too
rough and tough for Mayor HYLAN
and his kitchen cabinet to attempt,
but evidently there is limit to the
things that the Board of Education is
willing to do at HYLAN's command.
Smash them!" was the word sent
by King JOHN from the Everglades.
BY them" he meant the experienced
educators who stand between the
school system and the Hylan gang of
politicians.
Smash MELENEY!" cried HYLAN
oMELENEY being school superintend-
ent of many years service who cannot
be bullied. into acceding to the de-
mands of the Hylan clique.
But the Board of Education, al
though its members owe their ap-
pointmcnts to JOHN F. HYLAN, could
not stomach the conduct of the Mayor
and the expounder of Hylan doctrine,
Commissioner HIRsHFIELB.
Nobody is smashed except the gro
tesque fellows who were willing to
let the schools sink into a state
where the children would emerge
from the process of education with
minds no better developed than those
of HYLAN and HIIsHFIELD.
Thanks for this defeat of Hylan-
ism are due to Governor MILLER,
whose warning speech called atten-
tion to the fact that the Hylan pro-
gram. If insisted upon. would create
situation from which the State
must rescue the city.
Thanks are due to the newspapers
Of New York-the very newspapers
that HYLAN has abused as enemies
OF the city. They aroused that pub
lie opinion which prevented the
Board of Education from perpetrat-
ing the outrage HYLAN demanded.
Thanks are due to the members of
the Board of Education who voted
down the Mayors command to smash
.MELESEY." HYLAN will have the op-
,portunity TO revenge himself upon
some of the disobediant members OF
the board whose terms expire in the
next four years. Doubtless he will
take advantage of IT. lie is that
kind of man. ...ra
ic Congratulations are in order for
,.the parents of the school children of
this town. HYLAN has done his best
TO demoralize the police, the COM
merce and the transportation of New
York. He has gone long way toward
wrecking the school system, but in
this he has been pulled up short.
HYLAN and his gang have "got
away with lot of stuff" as they
say around the City Hall. But at last
the public seems to have sized them
up and to gauge its opinion accord

Study the Constitution.
Schools Urged to Give More Time to
the States Fundamental Law.

To THE NEW York HERALD: All pub
lie and private schools give instruction
in regard TO the Constitution Of the
United States, but there is another inn
portant document which l think should
be studied in the schools, namely, the
Constitution of the State OF New York.
There are many provisions in our
State Constitution which are not en-
bodied in the Federal Constitution and
which are very important to the citizens
of this State. especially as there seems
TO be a disposition to pass all kinds of
faneiful laws. II more people knew the
fundamental law OF our state public
opinion would have its influence on the
Legislature. If a representative is inn
pressed with the fact that he viii not
he reelected unless he urges legislation
which Is constitutional we will have less
litigation and more efficiency in this
State. For example, had the majority
of the people been acquainted with the
New York Constitution the State bonus
law would have been defeated.
A law was passed compelling teach
ers to swear to uphold the Federal and
State Constitutions but ] doubt whether
most OF the teachers have even read
the State Constitution.
/ am surprised that this subject has
never been included in the subjects of
the schools The home rule advocates
should study it. Many do not know
what home rule means. I think that
every college and the Regents should
make the Constitution of this State a
compulsory subject for college entrance
examinations and the Regents examina-
