New Orleans, March 1.—Second Vice President J. T. Harahan and & party of engineers and officials of the Illinois Central have arrived here in a special car, and visited the scene of Sunday’s fire. Mr. HaraZian said that the destruction was about as com plete as the reports led him to expect. “However, I find the situation other wise much brighter than we looked for. We have already made arrangements that I think that we shall be able to handle all our business airiest as ex- peditiousJy as before until ‘the docks are restored. “You may say that not a car ol freight coming over our lines will be diverted from New Orleans as a re sult of the fire. “We shall rebuild at once.

Macon, Ga., March 1—The report of the appraisers for the Plant estate was field with Referee Proudfit. Ite esti mate of the total value of the Plant estate is given as $846,901.57. A few figures are given in this re port which will surprise those wdio have over-estimated the value of the Plant estate. It shows that certain land owned by the dead banker in Nashville, Term., thought to have been worth over $100,000, Is only worth $7,500 in the estimation of the apprais ers. The Idle Hour farm is set down in the report at a value of $30,000, the flowers in the nursery being val ued at several thousand dollars. The work of the recent Cotton Grow ers’ Convention at New Orleans de serves, in its main features, the hearty approval and endorsement of the farm ers all over the South. The action of the committee since the adjournment in formulating a constitution and by laws as a basis and bond of union for the continued existence of the organi zation is also worthy of all praise for its comprehensiveness and adaptation to the objects sought to be promoted. It is an able document and should be ihe means of consolidating and unify ing the interests of the cotton growers and manufacturers In the future. Whether its effective influence shall outlive the present emergency and pro mote the cotton growers’ best interests ir? the future will depend largely upon the good judgment and sound discre tion of those in active control of the organization, backed by the loyal and voluntary support of the great mass of the farmers themselves.

Between 15,000 and 20,000 acres of land will be thrown open for settlement. The land is in the fa mous Bitter Root valley and was set aside by President Cleveland as a temporary reserve. The city is now thronged with people ready to file claims as soon as the doors of the land office open this morning. KANSAS HITS AT OIL TRUST. No business can possibly be successful that is not adver tised. This is a sweeping statement, but it is true. There are aome merchants in this community whose experience apparently contradicts the statement. The contradiction, however, is only apparent. If they have attained any degree of success they have advertised. They have let people know what they had to sell, what they were here for and what they proposed to do. Just in proportion to the thorough ness with which they have done this and met the conditions of their competitors they have suc ceeded. If they have used the newspa pers they have worked with the best tools so far as getting pub licity is concerned. If they have worked without the newspapers they have been handicapped and have not attained the highest possible measure of success. A fertile seed planted in fertile grouna, carefully watered, will thrive and bear fruit. A properly organized business, in any inhabited place, well advertised will succeed. The law of growth is as certain and iaeiotable in one case aa the other. 1 Legislature Passes Anti-Discrimina tion Bill by Big Majority. Topeka. Kan., March 1.—The house today by a vote of 82 to 18, passed the anti-discrimination biR aimed prin cipally at the Standard Oil company, and the last of the anti-trust measures to come up in this session. It now goes to Governor Hoch. This hill will reinforce the half doz en other ami-trust measures passed by the present legislature. A ‘heated debate preceded the pass age of the measure today during which Representative Beekman point ed to Charles H. Ridgeway, a lobbyist who fought the anti-discrimination bill, created a sensation when he declared: “He is fighting this bill because he represents the millers’ trust.” Tongue Removed by Operation. New York, March 1.—Thomas French, an official of the Brooklyn Coal company, has- submitted to an operation for the removal of his tongue. About two-thirds was cut away, yet with the remaining por tion of the organ, and the muscles ol his throat he will be able, after a liule practice, to speak intelligently. The operation is the second of that nature .performed here within a few months. the acreage in order to curtail the size of the coming crop. It would have been better to have cut the area to one-half the acreage of last year. It would have been still better to have advised and argued upon a horizontal cut to 10 acres to the plow, assuming that such a reduction would amount to about one-half, taking the entire cotton area into account. The effect of such a re duction would practically have result ed in such a large decrease in the ag gregate cotton output ihat even a very much larger increase in the j>er acre application of fertilizers than*is at ail probable would not suffice to produce more than a 10,000,000 bale crop, under most favorable conditions. For what does a farmer use com mercial lertiliz.ers if not for the pur pose of increasing the yield per acre and at the same time, as an insepar able incident, to lessen the cost per pound of producing the cotton? If the fertilizer does not enable the farmer to produce a bale of cotton at a less cost than it could be produced without the fertilizer, then what good office does the fertilizers perform? If a farmer who has been growing cotton without the aid of fertilizers at a cost of 7 cents per pound of lint, what is the use of applying fertilizers if such use does not lower the cost to 6 cents or to 5 cents per pound of lint? Suppose a given farmer has usually planted 100 acres in cotton and that the average yield, without fertilizer, has been about forty bales, wdiich is about the general average. Will any one claim that such a yield has cost less than 7 cents per pound of lint? Will it cost him any less by simply reducing the area to 75 acres, and con tinuing to abstain from fertilizer, or apply only an insignificant amount per acre? Not much, if any, and if any less, it will be because he will be able to throw out 25 acres of the most un productive land. But instead of reducing the area to only 75 acres, suppose he shall cut it down to 50 ar ? and apply 200 pounds per acre of a .. ill balanced, home mix ed fertilizer. Will he not thus increase the yield per acre by at ieaot oue-half, so that he viL get thirty bales from the 50 acres? The “fixed charges” in labor, interest, superintendents, etc., will be no greater per acre on the 50 acres than they were formerly on the 100 acres, or just half as much for pro of each bale that cost only 3 cents per pound, and a smaller percentage of the portion that cost 7 cents per pound. If one-half of each bale of cotton cost 3 fents per pound and the remaining halt cost 7 cents per pound, ther it is quite clear that the mean cost of the bale of co f 'on would be an exact mean between 3 and 7, 01 5 cents per pound. If one-third only of the bale eost 3 cents a pound, and the remaining two- thirds eost 7 Cents per pound, the whole bale will have cost 5 2-3 cents per pound. If one-fourth of the bale east 3 cents a pound and the remain ing three-fourths cost 7 cents per pound then the whole bale will have cost 6 cents per pound. Fertilizers Yield Cost per lb. Acres. Per Acre. Bales. Cents. 100 None 40 7 00 50 $2 00 30 5 66 50 3 00 34 5 41 50 4 00 38 5 21 50 5 00 41 5 14 The above is suggestive. not abso- lute; but it is well within the limits of probability. Y’ou will say that there would not be much money profit even in the last stated case, with cotton at 7 cents. Well, no; but it is very much better than making 40 bales on 100 acres at a cost of 7 cents and selling it at 7 cents. The truth is, land that, with good cultivation and without fertiliza tion will not produce more than 40 bales on 100 acres is hardly fit to plant in cotton, even if it be liberally fer tilized, unless there is an assured pros pect of selling it at 9 or 10 cents a pound. Such land ought to be planted in oats, cowpeas, sorghum, or Bermuda grass, which cost but little to plant and cultivate, and the product of which may be consumed on the farm. What about the hundreds of thou sands, yea millions of acres planted an nually in cotton that average very far less than 40 bales to the 100 acres— say not more than 15 or 20 bales to 100 acres? If all such be retired from cultivation in cotton or corn, and put into less expensive crops, or pasture, the problem of the “cotton situation” aided by a common sense system of rotation, diversification, liberal manur ing and fertilization, would be com pletely and permanently solved.—Hon.
