artificial languages will at last be nearly as numerous as those of natural growth Quite a number of years ago the idea that It might be possible to construct a simple language that could made readily available for commercial Intercourse among all nations was materialized In tho Jargon that was called Volapuk For that the good points were claimed that have since been claimed for Its various successors A few enthusiasts devoted themselves to study of it and held meetings at which It alone was spoken Then it gradually passed into tho limbo of forgotten things Next Esperanto was brougiit out with copious assurances that it was indeed the real thing Then came Ro another artificial language said to be perfectly good The latest addition to the list is called Ido There may have been others but we do not now recall them AH these ready-made languages have this feature in common that they look like what is called and sound like it when one tries to speak the words They arc constructed mostly from Latin roots with a few conveniently adaptable Anglo-Saxon ones mixed in Their variety of terminations to denote is in the use of a large variety of terminations to denote gender and number in the case of nouns and mood and tense in the case of verbs That no artificial language will ever become useful for any kind of intercourse among the people of the different countries is a foregone conclusion Only a live one can become universal An artificial language still-born and it is as impossible galvanize it into life as it would be to revive and bring back into use one of the dead languages Let it be gramted that through extraordinary effort an artificial language might be brought into commercial use among nations whose languages are of Latin Greek and Anglo-Saxon derivation then there would remain the practical impossibility of making it available in the countries where Oriental languages which arc In all respects radically different from those of Europe and of the countries populated from Europe are spoken While persons speaking English German French Italian Spanish Danish Norwegian or Swedish might be able to familiarize themselves with a language like Esperanto without great difficulty to the peoples using Arabic and its kindred languages Chinese Japanese or Hindustance the artificial language constructed on the European plan would be as difficult MEETING They meet a very general and growing demand for information in regard to the most prolific and profitable varieties They are supposed to be made by trained and competent ofllieals whose Interest and efforts are limited to the one object of getting the truth as nearly as possible and disseminating it as widely as practicable I do not hesitate to say that these official reports are far and away more reliable and nearer the exact truth than the tests that may be made by the average practical farmer They carry weight and establish conviction because they are authoritative and disinterested I have received from the Georgia station the preliminary reports or the variety tests of corn and cotton made lu the year just closing These In-elude twenty-one varieties oC corn and

the Dig Prodm tion Mr Thompson district raan-ufier of the Southern Cotton Oil Company with headquarters in Charlotte as a gridt believer intensive farming lie holds to the belief that an intelligent farmer on ordinary land an vastly augment his yield of cotton com by tile aid of more fertilizers end that the augmented yield will more Gian repay the Increased cost of production That Mr Thompson is 'willing to back up his opinion by substantial action is evidenced by his course last spring in giving out fertilizers to farmers in various sections of the county for use on designated ureas in return lor the seed produced by the cotton on the land Last sea-on that is for the season just elosed Mr Thompson put out about $60000 worth of commercial fertilizers in Mecklenburg county and he is just ciovv balancing up his books with the receipts from the seed That he has (been the gainer goes without saying jfnr the seed has been selling at 45 cmT' 50 cents almost since the rop movement began The who titered into the agreement have also profited in substantial measure for the production of lint cotton has been approximately twice as great as under the old regime With cotton selling for 14 15 and 16 cents the farmers have also been greatly benefited The accruing profit has been a double one for Mr Thompson has been benefited as a result of his intelligent venture and tiie farmer himself as it he result of his increased lint yield Mr Thompson frankly admits that he entered into- the scheme for no other purpose than to demonstrate to the farmers the absolute value In dollar' end cents of Intensive farming Had be only come out even he would have (been satisfied it was an educational campaign on his part to show the value of the intelligent vise of more (ommerclal fertilizers This is evidenced by the fact that he scattered bis work in the various townships in order to reach as many people as possible It is rather interesting to note lhat a number of the farmers In the compact offered to pay cash for the fertilizers used as snort as they had visible evidence of the results in the ehape of enlarged yield It is a safe jirediction that tnere 'will be at least 23 per cent more fertilizers used in Mecklenburg county next season than last as a result of the Southern Cotton Oil educational campaign NORTH CAROLINA FIRST In this connection It is gratifying to reflect that North Carolina stands first in average yield per acre of cotton rith 252 pounds of lint to the The annual meeting of the slur? holders of the Commercial National Bank of Charlotte will

More Rales Farmers in Much Retter Condition at Ibid of This Season Than at the End of the laist Eor Entire Crop Was Sold on an Average of 13 Cents or Possibly Retter Mecklenburg county lias gone over tho 25000 mark in the cotton production whicli goes to show that the local shortage was not nearly so great as had been anticipated Tho fact is that the showing for Mecklenburg ranks well with any county lu the cotton-producing belt figuring on the acreage and the general demoralization which the crop suffered in the course of its maturity The last census report revealed tiie fact that nlightly over 25000 hales had been ginned up to that time and this represents practically the tbtal production although there may be as much as 2000 more bales reported before the season comes officially to a close in March FARMERS BECOME ENRICHED Figuring that the average price received for these 25000 bales and the greater part of the crop has been sold was 13 cents a minimum estimate tiie farmers of Mecklenburg received for their cotton crop of 1909-10 the sum of $1625000 which is at least $600000 more than they received for the crop of 1908-09 They have also become greatly enriched because of the exceedingly fancy prices which they received for their cotton seed for at an average price of 45 cents a bushel the seed from these 25000 bales of cotton come up to a valuation of $335000 Ordinarily the farmers have been receiving only 30 cents a bushel for their seed as a maximum and while this price induced a good many to sell this product a good proportion of the seed produced was kept at home and used for feeding and fertilizing purposes The high prices which have prevailed this season have influenced practically all the farmers to sell their seed in many instances exchanging for cotton seed meal which is highly valuable as a fertilizer as well as for feeding By this method of exchange they secure the top cf the market for their seed and are at the same time given meal and hulls at figures which makes the proposition economical from their point of view These are the lowest possible estimates In the first place the crop is figured as -being 25000 bales whereas it may run to 27000 or 28000 Furthermore 13 cents is estimated as the average price while as a matter of fact much of the cotton produced in the county was sold at 14 cents and some of it at 15 Very little is being sold for the present higher 'prices for the simple reason thntnearly all of it has been sold RAPID MOVEMENT OF CROP The movement of the crop has been singularly rapid Reports from the Charlotte indicate that the entire crop has been sold with the exception of a few thousand bales This easily explainable on the ground of the high prices which were uniformly offered The market during the entire season has manifested some unusual qualities the most unusual of them all lying in the fact that it never broke It suffered fewer fluctuations than any market in many years and maintained its normal strength rriore uniformly than has possibly ever been known The high tone which prevailed influenced rapid sales and an exhaustive movement to such an extent indeed that the farmers find themselves at this time of extrema prices without much raw material to sell The following general table showing comparative acreage stated conditions and census reports as affecting the entire crop
