The United Stales Census Odiee Will Publish Upturns at Frequent Intervals I)ur?ng the Ginning Season, ami in Time to bo of Immense Value to the I *rn.l no/ire Jl ? UVI UV/t ? o . Mr. Itobert K. McIIwain, til Lancaster, has been appointed a local special agent < 1 the Census Oflice to collect coton ginning statistics for this county, and we join the Government in urging the ginners to give Mr. Mcl twain their hearty support and cooperation, thus enabling him to make prompt and accurate returns. We would impress upon the ginners the fact that th.'s agent is a sworn officer of the Government, and that their reports are for warded as given to him directly to the Census Ofli e, at Washington, without passing through the hands of any middlemen. The information given is ht Id as strictly confidential, an 1 !no opentlioiih ot individual ginnors arc not ili vulged. I'pon the j tint ccoperation ol tlie cotton growers, gin ners. ami local agents must de pend the success of the Census Ollice in (his inquiry, and its ability to render this meat ser vice to the Southern people and to all interested in the cotton staple. The Census Office has demonstrated in three annual reports, the tact that the ginners are the only reliable source ol information as to the volume of the an mial co'ton crop This is very complimentary to the ginners, who, no doubt, will feel a pride in sustaining the reputation earned. In recognition of this interest shown by the pinners, and of a general demand for more frequent reports through litis source, Congress, in the act creating a permanent census < Hi provided ior the collection ami publication oi meso sialic! jo' ;?l intervals during t!ie ginning season. For the crop ol 1 902 the office will issue three reports : the first two will cover the quantity of cotton pinned mo to and including O'to her IS and December IP. respectively; and the final report will cover the lotai quantify pin ned from the grow th ol lt>02. Realizing that the collection ol the data for these reports is made at a season when the pinners' time is greatly taxed, and appu ciating the necessity lor prompt returns, the Census Office has located, in each county contain " , '' i A " # / | ing ten or more ginneries, an agent, who will visit each ginnery 'in the county and secure a report | of the quantity cf cotton ginned up to certain dates. In under taking the frequent and hurried i reports now sought, it is of vital I importance that the returns be made with absolute uniformity, ] and that all be received at Washington at one time. This result 1 could not be expected from in dividual requests in ule by mail of 30,000 ginners, at a time when | they are engro s. d in their gin ! uing woru. Furthermore, the ' Census Office mast be kent advis led for r.ll changed in the manj agement and operation of Hippo J establishments, and secure ret urns , from all new and. revived plants. To accomplish such results, it ' becomes necessary for the office to have local representatives who hi'1 be cl. irged with the dutv of I kv oping in close touch with | the ginning industry in each county, and of promptly reporting the quantity of cotton ginned. The statistics for the October J report will be collected during ! the week beginning with Monday. I October 20, and ginners should ! keep such records a^ will enable 1 them to furnish promptly the required information. These 'returns will be tabulated, and *7 ? ?ho result published within one I week from tlu?ir receipt at Washington. Cotton statistics collected thtough the commercial system, however,accurately compiled, tall shore of the demand ot both producer and manufacturer? first, in that as they cover the quantity of cotton marketed be 'tween September^ of one year and August 31 of the following, they are not statistics of a crop grown in any one year; and second, in the liability to error j involved in statistics so compiled I Nothing short of official reports, made sufficiently early to form a basis of prices, will entirely satisfy the cotton growers or 1 manufacturer. If is gratifying to know that the South his the | assistance and cooperation of the Uiovernriient in bringing about the result they desire?an undertaking the success of which now depends upon the cotton growers and giniiers themselves.

Land Comes Itnck to York To Look lor a IMace Where There is More FqnahieClimate and Fewer Tests. Mr. E. F. Land, formerly ol this county, but, for a number ol years past a eiliz^u of Texas, arrived here last Tuesday, and has been pulling in the lime since trying to find a suitable plant a tion. lie has enough of Texas and is desirous of returning to his old home. The reporter had a short talk with Mr. Land Tnursday evening, and from his conversation, it would seem that he considers the agricultural outlook quite gloomy 'n Texas. There has been a gen^ oral failure in both lite corn and I cotton crops tin's year, and from | his observation ami experience, cotton growing in the "Line ! Star" state seem* to bo practical1 ly doomed The trouble with cotton is on 1 account of the Mexican boll 1 weevil. This pest began to make ! its appearance in Southern Texas I about ten years ago, and since i that time ii has been spreading northward and eastward, at the rate of about 50 miles h year. Hecauae of the weevil, cotton raising lias already become a thing of the past in many portions of Southern Texas, the farmers having changed from cotton to rice, sugar cane and other crops. ' I planted this year," said Mr. Land, "for 40 bales of cotton." That is, with good seasons, and no injury from tho weevil, I I...? U.wl IU..I 1. I. nin;u III lin VO Iltiu I 11 <1 I Illllt'fl. IIis not unusual to make from a bale to a bale and a half to the acre. The boll weevil made its appearance, however, and altogether 1 will not get more than 5,000 pounds of seed cotton. A large farmer near by had some 000 acres in cotton, and his yield was hardly as good in proportion as mine was. "The department of agricul lure," Mr Land went on to say, "has had several expert ento mo'ogists, in Texas for several | years past, trying como means of destroying the boll weevil ; but up to this time nothing has been accomplished. The weevil makes its appearance with the square* and blooms, and when there is a good season in June or July at the fruiting period, ,iu*t at the time a good season is needed, you can put it down that your crop is gone. The only thing that seems to afleet the boll weevil is hot, dry weather. It does not thrive on cotton that is stunted or backward, where the sun can get to the squares and blooms ; but gets in its work on luxurious growths, where the squares and Is Your I.tfe "Worth Cents?

'In addition to the boll weevil this year the farmers of almost the entire state have had to contend with a terrible drouth. Except in a few localities, the corn crop has nmoun'ed to practically nothing, and taken all together, the Texas farmers are having a rough time of it. Mr. Land is now thoroughly satisfied that the Piedmont section of South Carolina is pupporior to I any part of Texas as a place to! j live in. "You have to work harder lure maybe," he says, "but there is never such a thing as a complete failure of all kinds (ofcops.
