At present the seed are used as feed, fertilizer and fuel, in addition to oil producers, and a, sec ondary product of feed and fuel is fertilizer. There may not be at present. a sufficient number of mills and of cat tie to turn all the seed into cash, but there should be an impetus to greater efforts in that direction, in a considers. tion of the potential value of the cot. tonseed crop. This is reckoned at 4,- 239.392 after dducting 10 per cit fo loss and seedine. The total is derived from $41,750,000 in oil, $3,100,000 in lint- ers. $36,056,765 in hulls and meal made into live weight of cattle,, and ?l3,.i.JA 627 in manurial value of hulls. An increase of $40,000,000 and more ir the total value of the cotton crop with out increasing the size of that crop is a possibility worth considering by the farmer. Its importance during the next twen. ty-flve years will become greater and greater as the demand for cotton nat urally expands. This will amount to 20,000,000 bales by 1920, Dr. Dabney reckons. And he shows that the south ought to be able to produce it if the force of laborers is developed propor tionately. Of the 550,000 6quare miles in the cotton regions, but 50 per cent, is in farms, but 20 per cent is im proved, and only 5 per cent in cotton. There is room, therefore, for expan sions to meet the demand without trenching upon the land that ought to make each planter practically indepen dent of his cotton for a living, and without reference to the economy aris ing from a steady advance in the im provements in methods of cultivation. In the last 100 years the total pro duction of cotton was worth $15,000,000,- 000, exceeded only by that of corn. Its value in the next century will reach figures that hardly may be realized. These two articles are comprehensive in treatment, and form a storehouse of information of practical value to the ,..Jr The Subject Scientifically Consid ered by an Able Speaker. Wake Forest, N.

The Whole Matter. : This paragraph is going the rounds: mi tne present nmety-nine year lease stands, the state is to j get only $46,800 profit annually. If it is 'annulled, the state is to receive $130,800 as an an nual profit. Is it best for the taxpayers to be relieved annually of that sum or to give that amount as a present to the Southern railway? That is the great question in . the whole matter' We deny it. It is not the great ques tion in the whole matter. It is false. It is not the question at all. It may be the only question with' those people who are working it only for campaign purposes, or other interesting motives. But to the people who look at the ques tion in the light of the state's honor and in the light of citizens who do not stoop to trickery, it is not the ques tion at all. To such latter here is the question: Was the board of directors who made the lease of the North Carolina rail road to the Southern duly and authori tatively invested by the state with the power to so act? In other words, was the action legal or illegal? This question it was the province of the courts to de cide, and it was the duty of the state to stand by their decision. The legisla ture had nothing to do with the matter. The Seaboard Air Line Is said to have offered more for the lease of the road than the Southern pays. Suppose the lease were broken by the legisla ture without the courts declaring it to have been made illegally, and this of fer accepted, will not the Seaboard re quire the state to give bond that it would not- break its contract in case a better offer were made? In other words, if the legislature can break a contract at will, what will the contract of the state be worth? Making a Good Beginning. From Truth.
