This compares with 69 last month. a rise of 5.2; and with S2.7 at the same time last year; at 82.1 in 1905 and 83.2 in 1904.

The strikin- feature of the present report is the universally favorable weather conditions, continuing two to three weeks. Reports are generally conflicting, but compared -ith a month ago show much improvemen't. The crop had such a late start that plants are still small and stands generally poor. Cultivation is excellent and with a few exceptions fields are clear of grass. Scarcity of labor is but little complained of, and only a very small pereentage of acreage has been alban doned. The belt is practically free from in se(ts with the exception of the boll vil, which is appearing in large nimbers in Texas and working its way into the Indian Teritory and Ok lahoma. The crop is still very backward, be in<g two to four weeks late. Replies were received from 1,650 correspond ents of average date June 23d. Com paring with a month ago North Car olina shows a decline of 3.2 to 77 per cent, and Missouri a decline of 4 points to 73.

Al ternating power will be furnished by the Savannah River Power Company from Gregg Shoals. Southerners and Civil Service. Southern Farm Magazine of Balti more for June. In some quarters there seems to be unaccountable distress over the back wardness of Southerners in coming forward for places in the national civil serviee. The national civil service has just about twice as many places as are necessary for tle safe and business like conduct of the legitimate affairs of the National Governmert. Any large business undertaking conducted with -the same spirit of liberality as i to the number of employes would be driven into bankruptcy within six months. But therce must be presum ably a refuge for humai derelicts and in this day of paternalism, per haps the national civil service is about the best refuge that could be invent ed, though the system thus inaugu rated involves, regrettable hardships upon the competents needed in the conduct of public affairs who, in the common consciousness, may be confus ed with the individuals, inutile and invertebrate, for whom provision of some sort or other must be made. About half of the places in the civil service cannot possibly appeal to in dividuals having any initiative, ambi tion or vigor about them. For in stance, the United States Civil Ser vice Commission has announced an examination for this month ''to se cure eligibles from which to make cer tification to fill a vacauey in the pos tion of preparator (experie acedin marking and cataloguing human cra nia anid skeletons). $50 pe month, in the National Museum, and similar acincies as they may occur.'' Men only will be admitted to this examin ation. Imagine a man, that is, a sure enough man, and not a mere being erect upon his hind~ legs and with pants on, willing, for the munificent sum of $50 a month, or $600 a year, to spend his day in the National al Muesum in stock and why does it his ability in marking and catalogu ing human crania and skeletons! For the land's sake, how many human rania and skeletons has the Nation al Museum in stock and who does it keep them in stock? Is it possible that the reason for their preservation is that they are the sole surviving fragments of individuals who, in this ae and country of doing things, of productive labor, were persuaded to take eaxminations for appointment to unnecessary places in the civil ser vice ? Or, is the stupendous amount f $50 a month to be paid to some one who will be one of the exhibits, e of the living pictures, in the Na tional Museum'? It might by worth the job, at that, to pose in the posi tion of preparator experienced in making and 'eataloguing human skulls and cross-bones. But really, he aiverage Souther-ner wxho can make at least -$2 a day 365 days in the year at doing something must not be blamed for resisting such fascinating offers of ease and emolument in the Idivision of physical anthropology in Ithe National Museum, or in any othei of the many growths upon the Na tional Government at Washington equally anthropological for the stu dent of human nature and equally paralyzing of human energy and as Ipiration. The Drowning Season. . Baltimore American. Four drownings were reported in (one day recently. There is scarcely a day passes when the temperature of the water is inviting in the vicin ity of Baltimore that there is not an account of a drowning tragedy to be Iadded to the day's budget of news. The drowning stories are much alike one summer after another. Sometimes it is the strong swimmer, full of con fidence in his powers to keep afloat indefinitely, that is suddenly attack ed with the paralyzing cramp.: At other times it is the inevperienced youth, wading in shoal waters, who suddenly steps off a ledge into deep er w+aer Too often the water fatali tiue' are cau:-el by thm sportive tidixry (If the perennlial inidividual Who roeks th,e h t.These are the thre411 III( tives., s to express it, that lead to nearly all the drowning accidents.
