The Cotton [Growers' association r
is going right ahead, gathering si/e
and momentum like a snow bull go-1
ing down hill. What a pity these!4
farmers did not begin working for a
themselves and their country seventeen
years ago instead of wasting 1

and of England ate trying to make |j
J-, , ^
a great deal out of Karon Komura's
ST
I preference for English as the lan- 0
( ' guage to be lsed in the peace confer- t
ence. They fancy that this is evi- t.
dence of the rapid and permanent ;l
spread of the use of English in the j,
realization of its destiny to become 0
the world-language. The Washing- 0
(ton Post, for instance, sees in this
very natural wish of the Japanese M
plenipotentiary the sign of a revolu- j*
tion human speech?Ex j]
The citizens of New Orleans are '
seeking comfort in the belief that 0
they are suffering only from mos- I'
*. quito bites. That the mosquito was (*
the disseminator of fevers was known
to the people of Ceylon, and per- ^
haps to all of India, some fourteen 11
centuries ago. Modern science is
merely rediscovering facts that were
commonplaces of knowledge in the se
east before Eugland was settled bv ft
its present races. When Rritish p
scientists started investigations into d<
' the effects of the mosquito bite, they tl
!
were astonished to learn that the m
fa benighted h.athen in a land where ol
Ie?
f' every prospect pleases and man only p<
is vile had anticipated their boasted E
. ? science by centuries, had found that tl
there were sixty-seven kinds of 1110s- of
quitoes, and further that there were lo
' four kinds of malarial fever caused ti<
by the bite of those mosquitoes. The 01
Romans also knew the fatal effects fr
of the mosquito bite, and resulted to tli
effective measures for getting rid of
the pest. ?Ex. j cc

As Italian farm laborers, fruifg
rowers, ami small farmers are coming
into the south in increasing
numbers there has inevitably result- i
eel a competition between these newcomers
ami tin- iiegr??e>, who, up to j
this time, hau- enjovml a monopoly
in the field agricultural lalior. Several
<|iie<tions are suggested by tilis |
competitive struggle that are of j1
great interest to iliis section. Is it |
likelv That tlu* Italian anil immi- i
I
grants of a similar class will (lis*
! place The negro as a farm laborer in
I lie sou thy Is such an event desirable?
Professor Walter L. Fleming,!
of West Virginia I'liivcrsity, makes j
these remarkable assertions:
Side by side with negroes, the Italians
have proved their superiority as j,
'farm labo.ers. Mr Dougheity, a
planter of Raton Rouge who em-1
ploys about H) Italian Jamilies,states
that tliev are [leaeeah'e and mor*
industrious than the negro; that thev j
<|I^W(I) learn to do unfamiliar work,
trea^tock lietter and cultivate their j
crops more intelligently; that they J
are more economical and do not rush ,
into deht nor spend their earninsg ;
extravagantly. < ?tner planters repoi t j
that they are good famers; that they
have model farms and well-kept!
house and premises; and that thev
raise everything at home. Near
Greenville, Mississippi, is an Italian j
colony engaged in cotton farming, j
hacn ianniy on zu acres usually clears
on each crop $200 to $300 above
expenses*
He#ud(is that many farmers have!
substituted Italians for negroes as I
tenants.
Here we have an even more definite
statement, quoted by Professor
Fleming from A II Stone, a pointer
of Greenville, Miss.:
It is always difficult to get. a negro j
to plant and properly cultivate the j
i outer edges of his field the extreme j
ends of his row, his ditch banks, etc.;
The Italian isso jealousof the use
. of every foot for which he pays rent;
that he will cultivate with a hoej
places too small to be worked with
a Jplow and derive a revenue'
from spots to which a negro would
not give a moment's thought. I
have seen them cultivate right down |
. to the water's edge the banks of:
bavous that had ntver before l>eeo |
touched by the plow. 1 have seen
theni walk through their fields and
j search out every skipped place in 1
; every row and caref ullv put in seed '
to secure a perfect stun d.I have seen
them make more cotton per a:?re than
the negro on the adjoining cut, gather
it from two to four weeks earlier,
and then put oxtra time earning
money by picking in the negro's field.
