Washington, Sept. 9 In speaking
f te outlook for the cotton crop, this
year,' Major A! B Anderson, n well
known business man of Birmingham,
Ala.', . who is ; ; visiting Washington,
said today: " v ,
'It is Impossible to predict the
price of cotton this year. Reports
from Texas ape that the crop there
1b in1 bad, shape and the same story
comes from Oklahoma, and , in the
Carolinas.. Georgia, Alabama, Missis
sippi, and Tennessee I can say from
personal observation that it is up to
the average, if not better. If the
total crop does not approximate 12,
000,000 bales It it probable that the
price of cojton will soar. The gov
ernment, report has it that the crop
all around will be short and that it
is almost as bad in the states I have
named as In Texas and Oklahoma,
but J know better.
- "What effect would a poor crop
have on the business of the country?
Well the value of the cotton crop in
this country in the past has exceeded
that of the wheat crop, but at that
it i not of so great importance that
it would have any big effect on the
general business. How much ton
nage do you think the cotton crop of
this country approximates compared
with the total amount of freight car
ried by the railroads? Not 3 per
cent. Why, the freight shipped from
Jackson county, Ala., alone will ex
ceed the total tonnage of the cotton
crop. , J am not seeking . to belittle
the importance of the cotton crop. It
is without doubt the most valuable
crop to the people of this country,
perhaps, of any staple produced.
That Is, it brings in more foreign ex
change. A very large part of the cot
ton crop of the United States is ex
ported, while the wheat crop is large
ly consumed at home. But even if
it does. happen that our cotton crop
this year is below the average,' I do
not think we shall have to worry a
great deal. There is every indication
in every part of the country I have
visited that business is gradually
getting back to normal." .

REPORT ON CHINESE
FOREIGN' COMMERCE
putch. Cruiser to Attend.
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
New York, Sept. 9 -The Dutch
cruiser Utrecht arrived today from
Curacao to attend the Hudson-Fulton
celebration.
Washington, Sept. 9 Commercial
conditions in China and the position
of the United States and other lead
ing nations in reference thereto are
discussed in the official report on the
foreign trade of China for 1908, a
copy of which has been received by
the bureau of the department of com
merce and labor. Imports are found
to have been $258,000,000 in 1908, com
pared with $273,000,000 in 1907, J293.000,
000 in 1905, and $225,000,000 in 1904. There
was thus In 1908 a decrease in Im
ports of $15,000,000 when compared
with 1907, and of $35,000,000 when com
pared with 1905, the year in which
China's imports reached the highest
record. Exports from China are re
ported at $181,000,000 in 1908, compared
with $173,000,000 in 1907 an increase of
$8,000,000.
That the United States, has, in the
import trade of China, fared better
than most other parts of the world
is indicated by table showing the value
of the direct trade with principal
countries and grand divisions for
whereas net Imports into China during
1908 decrease $15,000,000 from figures of
the preceding year, those from the
United States increased about $3,000,000
from $24,171,777 in 1907 to $27,015,936
in 1908.
The improving condition of the great
export trade in the United States to
China in cotton goods Is further il
lustrated by figures of the monthly
summary of commerce in finance, for
June, 1909, which shows .the exports
down to the middle of the current year.
For June, 1909, exports of cotton cloths
I' from the United States to China aggre
gate 25,500,000 yards against 8,500,000
yards in June of the1 preceding year.

USURY JCSOMBSTOCKABlXA.BUrree't Beleiih. .
The Baltimore Sun of a recent date
has the following article oa the meth
ods used by the Department of Agri
culture In instructing, the farmers
and their wives:
"How modern ideas and improved
methods in agriculture are being
brought to the attention of the far
mers of North Carolina is, in part,
explained in the last report of Major
William A. Graham, Commissioner of
! Agriculture of that state.
"There is no more important di
vision of the state government in
North Carolina than the Department
of Agriculture. It has, among many
other activities, virtual control of
the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege; it has a bureau of geology; an
other that analyzes and collects
taxes on all fertilizers; another that
analyzes all foodstuffs and adminis
ters the state: Pure Food law; it also
conducts a number of experimental
and test farms, owned by the state,
and. holds institutes 'for farmers and
for women all over the state, and In
aid of this work runs 'demonstration
cars' from town to town along the
railroad.' n this farmers' Institute
work not only the commissioner hlim
self takes part, when his other duties
allow, but he has a staff of lectur
ers, including professors of agricul
ture, professors of animal husbandry
and dairying, veterinarians, practical
farmers, poultrymen, dairymen and
women lecturers on domestic science,
b.utter making, poultry raising and
care of the home.
"Dr. Butler, director of the Insti
tute work, reports from December 1,
1907, to December 1, 1908, there
were held 234 institutes. Of these
151 have been regular farmers' insti'
tutes for men, 14 orchard demonstra
Hon institutes, 68 institutes for wo
men and 1 five-day short-course dairy
school. In addition, a round-up in
stitute, or, as it is generally known,
state farmers' convention, was held,
embracing separate meetings for both
men and women.
Concerning the women's institutes
the report says:
"The holding of Institutes, for the
women In the farm homes 'was in
augurated in 1906, and 21 institutes
were held in 19 counties. During
1907 this work was greatly extended,
there being held 60 institutes in 38
counties. During 1908 the number
was also largely increased, 68 Insti
tutes being held In 46 counties.
"The success of these women's in
stitutes has more than justified our
assumption that an effort to improve
rural conditions through the co-oper
ation of the women on the farms
would be as effective as the institutes
for men had been. Allowing for the
general lack of knowledge regarding
the purposes or objects of these in
stitutes, the interest in them and the
appreciation Bhown for the informa
tion sought to be imparted have been
very gratifying and indicate very
plainly that the women on the farms
of the state are ready to take hold
of the work and make it a tremendous-power
for the upbuilding of
farm conditions and farm life.
"The best farms are impossible
without the best farm homes, and a
knowledge of modern domestic
science is as important and useful
to the woman who 1b to develop and
maintain the ideal farm home of the
future as is a knowledge of modern
agricultural science to the man who
is to build up a model farm.
"The following list of subjects is
given as a sample of the topics dis
cussed: The farm fruit garden, the
farm vegetable garden, farm poultry,
farm butter making, beautifying the
home surroundings, home conven
iences, literature for the farm home,
home-making, home nursing, the nu
tritive value of foods, cooking meats,
vegetables, etc. ; bread making, edu
cating the girls on the farm, home
sanitation.
"The usual practice has been to
hold the women's institutes on the
same day and at the same place as
the institute for men, but in a sepa
rate hall. At least one, and usually
two, separate sessions are held, which
enable the women to form an organi-

"During the past institute season
it was determined to use two cars
one for domestic-science demonstra
tions and the other for agricultural
implements, seeds, spraying and
dairy apparatus, etc., for demonstra
tions at the men's meetings.
"A passenger coach, from one
end of which two seats were remov
ed, was fitted up as a modern kitchen,
with labor-saving utensils and de
vices. In this kitchen was an oil
stove, ice box, kitchen cabinet, fire
less cooker, sink and necessary uten
sils. The remaining seats of the car
were utilized for seating those at
tending the demonstrations, and
when the attendance was not too
large, the women's institute was held
in this car.
"It is believed that this is probably
the first domestic science car ever
run, but it clearly demonstrated its
utility in rendering more effective the
work of the women's Institutes by of
fering facilities for actual demonstra
tions of many of the things taught.
VAnother car was 'filled with mod
ern . improved agricultural imple
ments, etc., and whenever practicable
the farmers furnished teams and
these implements were taken to the
fields and their working demonstrat
ed. These cars were furnished and
hauled free of charge by the South
ern Railway Company. The results
obtained were more than satisfactory,
especially with the domestic-science
car."
It would seem that Major Graham
and his predecessor, the late S. L.
Patterson, might have given some
valuable pointers to ex-President
Roosevelt's late lamented commission
which was to devise means to amel
iorate conditions on the farms.
It would seem also that the south
ern farmer and his wife are rather
zation of their own and permit of I more wide-awake than they are gen-
eraiiy given credit for in the north
greater freedom in the discussion of
special household topTcs, many of
which would v neither be instructive
nor Interesting to a mixed or general
audience.
Two women lecturers are usually
sent out by the state to each meet
ing, and when a joint afternoon ses
sion Is not held with the men some of
the lecturers from the men's institute
