I some time ago received a letter from the editor a widely lated tobacco trade paper, asking me to his paper an article on Eastern North plant tobacco with at ten cents I contented and the gist of all I in that article was, if farmers they would net ten a pound for their cotton for the next few there would not lie twenty per cent, of a co crop next year if they knew would get no more for it than it has brought since 1895. Now my object in this here is Is it not possible that by the use of judgment and planting the next crops of cotton and tobacco that we may both get more than we have been for our tobacco and ten cents a pound for cotton t should have taught us by this time at least that it is both foolish and dangerous to our entire dependence in any crop. Let every farmer who reads this ask himself the why did sell for more this year last t Why has tobacco sold for more than it did last year f Crops on the whole are no better than they have been but they are short- than they have been, and there- in lies the secret to the situation. Scarcity of article increases the demand for article in- creased demand means higher prices. This cannot be refuted. farmers don't conclude that all your are going to cut off their tobacco and crop you will get rich one year by doubling yours, because nearly everyone of them have come to same conclusion that you have and if you do this there will be trouble for you next fall. If farmers would only organize them- if did nothing more than look after keeping the acreage their crops within the bounds of reason, there is no telling the good that would result from it.

It is de sired to make the Department of as great practical benefit to the people as possible, and effort will be spared to attain this end. During this winter the fruit growers are specially urged to make a careful examination of their trees, and send any insect or twig to the Department so that the matter may be if it importance. As this is for the benefit of the people, we hope that they will use It to the best of their ability, by deuce or otherwise.

No administration has ever re- a more defeat at Um hands of a Senate ed by a majority of Its own party, than has boon administered to present one by the amendments added to the treaty within the last few days. Instead of cringing; to England, as the treaty originally by Lord and accepted by Secretary Hay and Mr. did, and begging the consent of England and all the other European powers to our constructing the Nicaragua with oar own money and then giving to all other countries equal rights therein with us, amended treaty serves notice on England that the treaty is thereby abrogated; that we are to dig the canal and control protect it our own way without asking consent of power in the world. In short, when the Senate ratifies that treaty it will be a thoroughly American document, the public sentiment of the country has from the first demanded that it should be. When these amendments were first talked about, the indulged concerning the fight the would make to have the treaty ratified without amendment. When the time came for a down did the administration Not van tiniest little bit. On the contrary; Mr. even gave his consent to amendment promised to forward the treaty to England after its ratification, but he told the Senators who went to inform him that the amendments would be added whether he liked them or not that he was afraid that England would never, never accept treaty, that Hay was positively certain it would not. But that doesn't seem to be worrying the Senators. They if England rejects treaty as amended, Congress will adopt a revolution declaring th Clayton treaty abrogated, and that the construction of the Canal will go right along just the same as though England had accepted the treaty. The republicans of the Ways mid Means Committee received two defeats while the House was sitting as a committee of the whole to con- sider amendments to the Revenue Reduction Bill. The House by a vote of to defeated the Com- amendment, abolishing one sixth and one-eight beer on the ground that it was a against the small brewers of the and by a vote of to adopted an amendment, pro- posed by Representative H. C. Smith, of Mich., requiring all railroad and express companies to make sworn statements monthly of their business and to pay one cent tax for each bill of and re- issued. Latter the Commit- tee assisted by Senator of N. Y., who is president of one the big express companies, rallied its forces and got the latter amend- struck out just lie lore final vote was taken bill. From being the of the House to being unknown to a of the House is quite a plunge for a man to take inside of two years, but the drop has been made by Hon. Thomas Reed, whose law practice now includes a a little Congressional lobbying. Mr. Reed was just coming of the when Representative Indiana, one of doorkeepers, who that fat man was. such is fame. Real Spirit of lag. hearts are usually very much larger at Christmas than our Edward of Christmas that in the December Home Journal. desire is to remember every- body that we know. But means do not generally allow us to do it. So we often pass entirely by at Christmas people to whom a simple, Merry Christmas, and more, would mean a world of cheer and Because we cannot give what we would like to we think that we should at all. The truth is. whether we choose to edge it in so many words or not, that we have grown so commercial- and so mined in this country that thousands of us are prone to our Christmas presents by the yardstick of in- value, or by what the recipients will them. We seem to have entirely lost sight of the fact that we can always give something. And i we gave that something we would really come closer to real spirit Christ- mas giving. A few cheerful words filled with that expression of strong good will, that is like sweet perfume, have a meaning that only a few realize. There- is nothing so pleasant this world as the feel- that one is remembered, and this a few written words will often con- more strongly than a gift. Yet we invariably put the gilt first. Our remembrance must take some form, we think, other than a mere verbal or written expression. And that is the artificial within us; natural. We seem to refuse to believe that it la the simplest things do that have the great eat Influence. It is simplest Christmas that remains.
