Khabarovsk Is the Siberian town

This Home for Incurables that Is the
whole world to its residents dates back
to the Winter of 1887-88 when Mrs.
Charles Hill, niece Of w. w. Corcoran,
the philanthropist, undertook to estab-
lish q place for the care Of chronically
i'll persons. Mrs. Hill sought to raise
money that Winter and among the per-
sons she interested was H. Sidney Ever
EFT, uncle of Mrs. Hopkins and Mrs.
Everett With the funds that were COL
lected the home was incorporated
March 6, 1889. by Mrs. Everett, Miss
]. Corson and E. Francis Riggs. Mrs.
Everett became first president Of the
home end Mrs. Hills mother, Mrs.
Phillips, was its first treasurer.
Took New Quarters.
The home first was housed in two
small residences in Mount Pleasant and
the first resident list included f1ve
names. As the home grew, however, II
became necessary in 1892 to seek new
quarters. Funds for maintenance OF
the home were collected by benefit per-
formances of various kinds and, as Mrs
Hopkins herself says. by just plain beg
ging" In that year, however, Miss Bes-
sic J. Kibbey gave the home $50, 900
and this gift enabled the home to lay
the corner stone of its first building

building November "a. 1924, and now
less than 10 years afterward. new ad-

urgent demands.
The new wing, the Charles Tompkins
Co., builders, assert, will be completed
by November, and with its use the
home hopes to be able to continue 70

RETIRING COTTON LAND

The agricultural efficiency experts in Washing
ton have figured out plan by which, if studiously
followed they believe the cotton situation can he
righted and the southern farmers immensely bene-
fitted by a decrease of production which will auto
matically increase their earnings.
The plan for reducing the cotton acreage to 25,-
600, 900 from the 40 odd million acres planted TO
cotton this year provides for the payment of So
to $11 per acre for land planted to cotton this
year which the farmers will retire. The money for
the rent will come from the cotton processing tax
of Az cents per pound which has been levied the
past two months and will be continued. The rental
payments for land retired from cotton will be based
on the average production of lint per acre. Pro-
duction of IS to 100 pounds of lint per acre will
command not more than SO rent From $50 to 200
pounds maximum rent is SIS, 225 pounds maxi
mum of ST, 325 to 400 maximum of SO, and for
land producing over 400 pounds maximum of S11
per acre.
The Observer is not convinced of the definite
efectualty of this plan. 1t would, obviously, a.
tain the result in mind except for the unredeeming
factor that it will still be possible for yields to be
made on lands not retired which will more than
compensate for the decrease in yields which such
retirement will bring about.
The more effectual way to bring down the pro-
duction of cotton is to deal with the yield instead
of the acreage. Anybody who knows anything
about cotton knows that if farmer really makes
I'D his mind about it, he can make more cotton on
one acre than he does on three.-The Charlotte
Observer
