New Kinds Of Cotton.

Very High Price.

,< .i UK i jciir, 111 it l mis great
industry as far as the South is
cont'd tied, is to have a new lease
of life.
Sonic yours hoii an experiment
was m.iilo in I ho l'nilcd States
with tree cotton, sec I - huving
been obtained fimo A fried whore
it was found growing wild, hot it

I\vo new varieties of cotton
(
have been evolved through h\ - (
hridi/.ation by Dr. IVmutis .in
Italim, residue- near Cairns
I
Queensland, which now promises
to revolutionize the growing
of cotton throughout the
world. riinse varieties Dr. Touintis
has given the names caravonica
1, and caravonica 1 1
i
Caravonica I is a cioss be- |
tween a long staple of cotton id' |

Mexico and the sea islands of l'e- (
I ii, resulting in a neia-nniiil t

cotton, which attains a height <.-f (
from ton to fourteen feet. It is (
planted seven by seven feet apart
about nine thousand trees per 1
acre. A tree six months old will j
attain a height of seven feet and ,
will bear a small crop the first
season. A singlo tree is said to (
yield over three hundred bolls in
a single season, these Uolls being
so large that seventy will weigh
one pound, thus producing twelvo
hundred pounds of clean ginned
cotton per acre. An oiler has .
beon made in England to take all
tlm cotton produced attwenty cents '
per pound on account of its sup- ^
erior quality. Kxports have pro*
nounced it the best cotton grown,
classing it as wool cotton. Caravomen
1 1 is a silk cotton and is of
even greater value, twenty-four
cents having been ottered per
pound, but the yield is not given.
As the yield of the first named
variety is ho large and commands
such a high price, it has
been thought advisable to call
attention of the cotton growers to ?
it.
Whether the (Jnrnvonica can be
cultivated in the Southern states
generally as has been done in
Queensland can only be told after
a tiial.
Taken into account the vast
uiea in Queensland suitable for
cotton culture, and success of this
primary experiment, Knglund has
hopes that at somo future time
she may be independent of Ameiican
cotton fields. There is however,
the drought problem yet to
he solved throughout the greater
part of Australia. Only the rim of
the continent has the rainfall neeessary
to successful agrieulturo
and the discouragements to immigration
are ho numerous and
formidable that the increase of
' population is little above the excess
of births over deaths, while
the people who now inhabit tho
country, seem unwilling to have
tho cities to subdue the Jungles of
tho tropical lands; so that the
prospect i> not great that Queensland
will very soon control tho cot
<< 1 11nti m'i? 'ii ino world.
It is asserted tlmt white men are
unable to endure the labor io?
quired. One thin^ iH suro, they
are not tit present, inclined to fit
the lauds f ? eul|ure, or oven to
culiiv'itu them, if once subdued S
Colored immigrants nro prohibit??
I by law, which further darkens A
tin* prospects * f Queensland be- c<
in ? able to develop her wonder.. ci
fill resources, while the labor sc
laws and bind laws do not seem ct
to induce eipiinlists to invent ct
money in either manufacturing or y<
agriculture. g?
It will bo thus seen that tho ^
Southern cotton planter has every ar
thing hi his favor?no restricted
immigration la vs, long daya and ^
a plentiful rainfall, usually all the
year round, and that if this new .
cotton can tm successfully raise 1 ^
in Q iceuslund with such disad- j)(
vantages as have been mentioned
there is no reason why the Southern
farmer cannot do equally sis
well, if not hotter
Kxpei misfits which have been
made with the seed are planted
in rows seven feet apart and the (,f
plants are cultivated like fruit f'"

cover nil of llio space when inn a|'
lure. A lioll of this variety is Si
four times us largo us that of the w'
uditmry vniioty, and averugO on
about seventy bolls to the pound. ^
A tirst crop may be authored in
six months, aceoidiugto reports,
but the tieeis not mature until it
is two years old. At that ago
each tree bears from three to fivo
hundred bolls and about nine D<
humlaed tiees may bo grown to *HI
the acre This cotton is intended S()
to bloom in part from August to rtn
December and in part from Janu- I"1
nry to June. The blooms that
com i out in the wrong season
were at once destroyed. They n
must be cut back to pievent all 8,1
bearing all the year. This would
icon exhaust the life of the tree. ct'
(4rent interest is being taken in ?f
these experiments, and tho people
of tlo South will do well to keep UH
in touch with what is being done, cr

And Other

All pain in any disease is
nerve pain, the result of a turbulent
condition of the nerves.
The stabbing, lacerating,
darting, burning, agonizing
pain that comes from the prom- '

nerves, is neuralgia, and
is the "big brother" of all the
other pains.
