Probabilities, However, Are That It!
- First-Was Brought Into Us# in j
Arabia or Egypt.
** 1* not at all likely, I think, that
rthe use of prayer beads originated in
Arabia or Egypt. It is to India that
we must go for the home of this religious
device?India, '"the mother of religions*"
the land where the gods outDumber
tho 'people and where the
- people carry their xeal to the point
nf intoxication. There is convincing^
evidence that the rosary existed hM
India long before It appeared in other1
parts of the world. At some remote
period, when the Vedas^were still in
rogue, the circlet of jewels or beads

sets. It may be seen in multifarious
coils about the necks of the gurus of
today, Cornelius H. Patton writes in
Asia Magazine.
Starting from India, we may clearly
trace the spread of the rosary to the ?T
Buddhists of Ceylon, Burma and Slain,
known as the Southern school, and
' especially to Tibet, where in Lama-; ,
ism the faith of Gautama Reached its*
* lowest level,,and whence the rosary,I
along with other customs, spread toj
China, Korea and Japan. j
f '' The Mohammedans may easily have
taken over the rosa,ry through their j
contacts with India, or else, as seems;
mord likely, they learned its use from ]
hermits and monks of the Easteip or <
Greek church through their earlier)
contacts in Palestine, Syria and north-;
era Africa. The oriental Christians, j
in turn may have taken over the de-i

sis and the caravan routes of tbe |
East If we could stfr with certainty i
that the Roman church borrowed the
ld^ from the successors of Mahomet
during the Crusades, the claim of development
would be logK.il and complete.
We must not Tnle out;. however, the
possibility that this aid to prayer
sprang up spontaneously in different.
]parts of the earth, under the pressure!
of the ne^d of the human heart,
everywhere the same. My own opinion
wds adopted both imitatively and
spontaneously. /Throughout the Bud\
dhist world it Was dearly copied from
India. In the Christian and Mohamv
medan worlds it appears to have had
an independent origin, but to have
7 \vowed somewhat to the borrowing
^process incident to travel and 'trade.

at hlro. They .would; not believe him
until they had, as he wrote, "ocular
demonstration of the fact." Day after
N day the old room in the tavern was |
crowded with the pteopla of the little v
village, and the travelers who passed
through, and soon to all parts of the
region where outcropping of coal had
4 been discovered, the news was borne. ?
y Bells With Interesting' Histories.
The bells of the old missions along
the length of California must have interesting
histories, but N there is little
of an authentic nature concerning
them. One of them at Santa Ysobel,
San Diego, lacks but se^n years of
being two hundred year? old. It 4s
"Marked "N. &de Loretc, 1782," which ,
means Our "Lady of Loreto. The real
origin of this bell is net known, but
it Is said to have been in service in
Lower California where the missions
were established 100 yeas'? before the
mihsion fathers invaded Alta, Calif.
These bells must hhve been ? powerful
aid to 'the fathers in gaining |ffie
attention and interest of the Indians
and it seems that some facts concerning
the castings should have* been
kept, hut there appears to be nothing
like an authentic record.

Tame Enough in Front.
Pat Hegarty had just purchased a
mule, but he did not obtain from the
animal all that he required of it.
So he wended his way back to the
. horse dealer.
"You said this mule was quite tame,"
v \ , he said to the dealer.
"And so he is tame, isn't he?" replied
the dealer, in an afrsrrieveri tnnp
"Not altogether?only partially so,"
the disconsolate Hegarty replied. "He
Is tame in front, I dare say, but he is
desperately wild behind!**

Co-Operation' in Japan.
At the eighteenth national convention
of co-operative societies recently
'held in Tokyo, 12,000 delegates were
on hand representing 2,850,000 "cooperators,**
belonging to 3,770 local
! organizations, according tovreports of
the meeting received by the all-Amerlean
co-operative commission of
V CSevelaad. Banking is one of the
v strong features of Japanese co-opcratire
activities.
Arctitf Sea Cow Extinct.
An authentic writeup of the Arctic
sea cow (now extinct) was made about
the middle of the Eighteenth century
by George William Steller, who was
snipwrecKeo on uenng island, 1741,
with the Russian navigator, Capt Vita*
Bering. This "cow" was not unlike
the manatee or dugong of sonth*
, era waters, weighed 8,000 founds, and
was 20-80 feet long. Stellar and his
companions at* its flesh.

COTTON PRODUCTION SHIFTING
TO CENTER OF THE BELT.
<
f '
Texas excluded from the argument,
the production of cotton -is shifting
back to the center of the belt, where
the damage from boll weevil has been
most severe and where abandonment
has been greatest Due to the labor
situation, the labor being mostly
negro tenants, the storm was not j
weathered as well as in communities
of small,^industrious white farmers.
Jndeed the extensive negrc
tenantry system of Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi and'"West Alabama,
was, in many localites, all but completely
disorganized when the weevil
came and got going good in his work
of destruction. But conditions have
changed in this central territory outlined.
That porton of the cotton
growing area east of a line running
north and south through Little Hock
west of Montgomery and Birmingham
will be seen witbin approaching
years to be gaining in cotton producton,
and Georgia and the. Carolina*:
will fall off while the people are becoming
adjusted to the new order of
things. Increasing production of
cotton is travelling back west while
the weevil continues his journey east
I . , I
and northeast.
Moreover, it is a qustion as to
whether Georgia and the Carolinas
can /produce cotton as cheaply as in
the central territory. Lands are higher
in price and taxation heavier, labor
tsVhigher and the necessity for
commercal fertlzer much greater. In j
this central region the use of ferlilizenk
was meagre before-, the weevil
came and its consumption decreased {
under weevil inefstation.
Due to disorganized labor condi- j
tions and abandonment more cotton
land has been lying fallow for several
years than in any other portion of
the cottoir belt of the South.,In the
meanwhile-nature has restored to the
soil, in the natural prpcess of rest to
the land, much of the valuable elements
of humus and organic matter.
The agriculturists of authority tellj
us that |fi:here humus and orgar\K
matter is contained in the soifrthe

VV. F. Bell, or H ;';?< ?. Greens
County, Ala., has this year proved
what can be and is' being lone when
Georgia and Carolina methods of fertilizing
and cultivation are applied in
making- cotton in localities where the
extensive large plantation system has
been all the go for the r.u st part. On
a Kittle less than 400 acres he has
made this yea* 22? hv.it.-.-:. of' cotton.
His average amount of fertilizer used
per acre was 2")0 pstmds of the 10-22
grade, supleirienTea with an average/of
75 pornos cf nitrate of soda
per acre. Or ias path patch of 2
1-2 acres, he .made -i bales with 600
pounds of fertilizer and 100 pounds
of nitrate per acre- lie plants the
Warmamaker-CI^veland variety of
cotton. His iand of a sandy nature,
with clay subsoil under most of i
t' *
it. His method of culture is fasti
and (intensive, with an intelligent j
limit to the acreage per plow. Ho irj
successful ?i > evidenced by having j
bought a plantation and paid for it
growing cotton uhd?r boll weevil conditions.
He is a native of Tuscaloosa
county,v e conditions arcsomewhat
similar to Georgia and
Carolina in hiiiy lands and where
there are industrious white farmers
on small J:\rms. . He is the only
white man o?_ jiis plantation. . He
uses no boll w<?ev:i poison, but a
.visit to his place would convince one
that he has ;iir<dft>.ned" his negro
renters and shave croppers with a
knowledge of. how to grow cotton
and make money, using fertilizer and
improved methods.

the land where one has the
labor. With commercial p-nlizer
and nitrate of soda he made on the
85 acres 52 bales of cotton and
plenty of corn to run the place another
year. The good price received
for the cotton of course increased
the profit, but the fertilizer and in
tensive methods employed told the
greater secret. DeMoville was doing
good farming before Bell moved to
Bolfgee, but Mr. Bell, by carrying his
intensive methods into a section of
country where the extensive system
was mostly in vogue, is paying back
borrowed money to people who don't
need it or want it, preferring to collect
the''interest only.
