A spirit of re-awakening is coming over the Southern farmer. The agricultural progress in the South has heen marked by a material prosperity uich as, perhaps, has never before been enjoyed by the farming element of that part of the country. The financial condition of the Southern planter began to take an upward tendency about 1397, since which ; time the situation has steadily im- } proved. The production of cotton? ! that great staple crop of the South? increased 53 per cent., from 1906 to j 1003, and the value of the crop 133 i per ct. The Southern farmer, long: deb'-ridden, has to a marked degree been mmin nlae*<t ftn hi* no i? ? ?J,?" ? ?? *vv' "J * were by the increased prices he has received from his cotton erop of late years. As a natural consequence he is devoting more time and attention to building himself a better home, to the education of his children and. he is in fact, deriving more of the comforts cf life then ever before. Work of the Department. The agricultural progress of the South really dates back to a fewyears ago when the Agricultural Department inaugurated an educational campaign for a diversification in the crcps. The application of practical scientific methods to Southern agriculture in the opinion of Secretary Wilson has done more to uplift land than any other factor. Officials of the Department of Agriculture believe that the advent of the weevil was in reality a sort of blessing to the South. While it was dis nstrious in its effect upon that g???at staple crop, it at the same time made the farmer realise that he must Net devote all of his land to cotton, but must depend to a considerable extent upon other crops. The South was quick to absorb the scientific knowledge so freely given by the Federal ! government and is rapidly recovering ! from past mistakes. Secretary Wil- ] son is a great believer in the doctrine \ that the foundation of this nation's prosperity is an enlightened agriculture Secretary Wilson Pleased. "I am happy to have an opportnnty to express through The Associat?d Press," said Secretary Wilson! 'the Agricultural Department's j food will toward the South and its , lesire to foster in every way the agricultural prosperity of that great md favored region.

I felt that they needed such help as the Department could give them, and I have lent a willing ear to their appeals. It is very gratifying to me to see the cordial spirit of appreciation manifested by the people of the South for the work the De^&rtment is trying to do." Under Professor W. J. SpUlman, of the Bnrean of Plant Industry, who has charge of the farm management investigations in the South, much has been done to encourage better systems of farm management, looking to the restoration of fertility, the bringing back of humus into the soil, and the suggestions of improved rotations. "One of the most important methods adopted in fighting the cotton boll weevil" said Professor Spillman "is the diversification of crops and the introduction of new crops. Since the farmers have begun to rea- I lise that the wperil will in a few years spread over the entire cotton belt, thej have become interested in ; other crops as they never were bei fore. In m:"T sections truck growing ' has developed amazingly. This is especially the ease along the seaboard, and along the principal lines of railway connecting the South with the large industrial centres of the North. In other sections farmers have turned their attention to the production of hay. While not enough hay is grown in the South to supply the demand, the quantity of the home-grown product has increased to a remarkable degree since the Department of Agriculture began its propaganda for diversified agriculture in the South as a means of fighting the boll weevil. Ir some sections, especially in Alabama and MississioDi. alfalfa has become an important crop. Last spring one small town- in Mississippi sold over $3,000 worth of alfalfa seed. Five years ago there was hardly an acre of this crop in that vicinity. Stock Raising. "Many other crops formerly grown in small acreages only have bees sown on an increasingly large scale for the past few years. This is especially true of corn, cow peas, and beans. The cow pea crop especially has become vastly more importanr than formerly. This crop is used both for hay and as a seed crop, for which there has been a steady demand at good prices. "Southern farmers also nre turning their attention to stock raising. Cat tie have not been much raised in the South, both beeause forage crops were not extensively grown and because of the presence of the tick which spreads the dreaded Southern cattle fever. The government, both State and national, is now making an effort to eradicate this tick, with every promise of success. This will permit of the development of an important new industry in the South which is affected by the boll weeVI? 44 Apparently it will onlv be a short time bofre the South will adjust its agricnlutral industries to the changed conditions brought about by the advent of the boll weevil, and wil be even more prosperous than it was when cotton was king At the same time, owing to improved methods of culture, and increased acreage, the cotton crop will probably be even greater than it is now." E REFUNDED RAILROADS INVOLVED in satisfaction of the claims on account of unreasonable rates on lumber shipped from Southern mills, involving about 125 cases aod 11_ dif iereni rnnroans or the South. These are said to be about one-third of claims to the same kind pending beI fore the commission. TO FIX THE FOR REPUBLIC WRECK lision was placed an the Florida. The owners of the Florida also filed a libel suit and a petition for a limitation of liability to $224,000 against the Florida. Later the Florida's owners applied for and obtained an order from Judge Adams in the United States circuit court staying all suits for damages against the steamship Florida on the ground that their petition for limitation of liability had been filed ahead of the $2,000,000 libel suit of the Oceanic Steamship Navigation company.

Sealby, of the wrecked White Star liner Republic, told the story of the disaster. One thing be did not tell was why he had elected to stay with his ship until it sank. Being an officer of the Roj-j^ N^yal Reserve and a com ^nder for tn? White 8tar, Captaiu Sealby presupposed that this act needed no explanation. "Before 6 o'clock on Sunday night we that the Republic would never live to reach Martha's Vineyard." was the way Captain Sealby began his tale. "By 7 o'clock she was way down in the stern, and wallowing with long, painful rolls, that meant there was very little more life lert in her. Williams (R. J. Williams. the second officer) and I stood on the bridge and kept our eyes ahead on the lights of the Gresham and Seneca, which were towing. The ship was so low in the stern that the waves were breaking over her at that point and the water was swashing clear up to the ladder of the saloon deck aft. "I think it must have been Just about 8 o'clock when we both saw that she was going to drop under us within a very few minutes. First thing we did was to prepare a Holmes distress light, which burns when it touches water. Thi3 we left on the bridere with I1R on that nihon WTO wront down the men on the revenue cutters could be directed to the snot where the Republic went down. While we were working over the light WillianiF. who has a bit of sporting blood in hlni. Joked about our situation. " 'What do you make of it, Williams?' I had asked him. " 'I don't think it will bo a long race to the bottom.' he laughed. 'When you are ready let her go and we'll make a sprint of it.* "Before we had finished with the Holmes light we began to hear a roaring and cracking of the deck seams hack of us. It was the air driving out ahead of the advancing water. That is the last call of a sinking ship. I directed Williams to burn two blue lights, the signal to the revenue cutters that we were going down and for them to east off. Then I let loose fiv" shots with my revolver. "We were going down steadily then and pretty fast. I yelled at Williams to make for the fore rigging. We hoth dropped down the Inrltlor t A thn CQ1aa?* ? ? lng a blue light in one hand. By the time our feet touched the saloon deck it was at an angle of nearly thirty degrees, wet and Blippery. Wo could not keep our feet, so we grabbed the rail and crawled. The water* was rushing up on us from behind and the explosions and rending of the timbers from 'midships told us that already the stern was under water. "We had reached the foreca?tle head when Williams slipped to the deck and grabbed a post of the rail with his elbow. That was the last I saw of him until after It was over. 1 managed to get forward to the foremast and to climb the rigging as far as the forward running light, about 100 feet up. Below me about half of thb ship was risible and she was + < * *?**? .... m? npiicu u|i hub n rnr.King cnair aDOUt I to fro over backward. "My blue light would not burn because It had become wet. I flred one more shot from ra? revolver, the last. Then everything dropped and I was in the water with the foremast slipping down beside me like an elevator plunger. "There was a boiling, yeasty mass of water about me and a great roaring. I went under, but came up again, for the nlr had gathered under my greatcoat and buoyed roe up. I guess I went around spinning for a time: then I hit a spar. From the spar I managed to get to a hatch cover. Things were flying around In the water and I came near being badly banged up before I managed to pull my body un on the hatch cover and lie there all spread out with nothing but my bead and shoulders above the waves. "It was very rold. T saw the No Refuge On fcarth Now For 1 Kmbcalm nnd Dcfanltm. Washington, D.

We were quite back on oui feet again after the men on the Gresham had ministered to us. f canno1 speak too highly of the work of th? revenue cutters that were trying t< tow us: it was masrnifleent." Captain Sealby had a word to Baj about his officers and crew. "I have nothing but praise for th? actions of the officers and crew of th< Republic both at the time of the col lision and subsequently duriug tlu very trying task of getting the pas sengers transferred to the Florida The success of this maneuvre 1 attribute to the remarkable disclplin< and cohesion between officers and crew. The passengers tbemselvei aided greatly by their conduct. Then was absolutely no panic among then: and the women behaved splendidly." The Republic's commander alsc naid a generous compliment to Blnns the wireless operator, who had stuck to his key although part of the wireless cabin on the boat deck had beer carried away by the Florida's prow Second Officer Williams told of bif experiences after he had become separated from his superior on the slanting deck of the Republic. He said: "When I fell down on the saloor deck on the port side I hung onto the rail with my elbow. In three minutet it was all over. I felt her lift straight up in the air and saw the prow right over my head: then she just slid Hnwn T folf f hn otom oiatlra Kcvf torn, for there was a jar and then 1 felt something give.

T just caught a glimpse of the keel dropping past me as I hit the water, I tread water for a second to get mj balance, then I struck out for about a dozen strokes before the boll of the water got me. "A grating hatch hit me and I held on. I couldn't climb onto it because the seas rolled me ofT every time 1 scrambled up. I was getting tired ol trying wnen another grating came along. I grabbed it -with one hand and held on between them. I guess 1 was, in the water almost half an hoar when the boat from the Oresham came along and pulled me out. I directed the men where to look for the captain and we found him in another five minutes." Williams saved a brier pipe and a pocketniece out of the wreck and that was all. Jack Blnns, the wireless operator wbo flashed the news of the Republic's ramming to RIasconset wireless station and wno subsequently kept at his place communicating with the ships hastening in relief, seemed to believe that the loss of 600 cigarettes he had with him when the Republic left New York on Friday was one of the moBt serious features of the wreck. "Part of the wireless cabin was torn away in the crash," said Rinns, "but the instruments were not hurt. As soon as the captain hsard what the damage was he sent me orders to aeml nut tha * * J ? ?hv Mi0v? wo oiguai, l 1UUI1U that the instrument was dead.
