Betrayed Through the stupidity of Tholr Owe Ilepreiantetlrei— rtio (lold 1U % eerre Nugnhnn—A Niuloiml ICxtrnvn (UM-Mra Hr form. \ - - I'Min In LonWIann. The impending collapse of tho sugar industry of lAmisfanu Is ono of tho moat singular results of tho incorapo » tency of Demoeratle tarllT-mukors. A year ago tho pluntors wore ordering new plants for thoir factories, ontor Ing into eontruets for deliveries of cano in tho grinding season, and counting with conidoneo upon the payment of bounties under exist ing laws. Tho bounty law was re pealed in August, they havo been making sugar at a loss during tho last two iponths, and with #12,000,000 withheld which they expected to ro coivc from tho government, thoy can not pay thoir debts and are on the ! verge of bankruptcy. That is thoir j situation as it is described in one of the most striking letters of the South ern series written by our staflT corre spondent. Tbo Louisiana planters take the ground that the government has vio lated a contract. Under tho Mc Kinley law it was pledged to pay a sugar bounty of two cents a pound for fifteen years. With that contract In force the planters invostod #60, 000,000 in new machinery and fac tories and in improving their estates, and Ihey made all their arrange meets for tho season of 181)4. When tho season was half over, tho bounty law was ropealod, and they wore abandoned to the mercies of their creditors. They assert that there bus been a gross breach of public faith, and that, entirely apart from political considerations or economic theories, they have an equitable claim upon congress for tho payment of last year’s bounty as a matter of commou justice. What renders tho plight of thoso Southern planters more humiliating is the consciousness that they havo boon betrayed through tho stupidity and folly of represoatativos of tholr own state. Tho Louisiana senators woro in a position to dletato torms to tho Democratic majority, says tho Now ■ York Tribune, yet did not know how to make use of tnolr power and to protect tho interests of tho state. A Republican congress in repealing tho revenue sugar duties had not de stroyed this Southern industry, but had openod a now career of prosperity for it under tho bounty system. Democratic tarlff-makors woro as merciless and destructive to Louisiana planters as a Republican congress had beob generous and magnunimous. They abrogated tho system under which the industry was making extra ordinary progress, and they did this so unexpectedly and wantonly that the planters, who had invested their #60,000,000 in bettermonts of all kinds, are now at the mercy of thoir creditors. The two Louisiana sen ators, after alternately dickering with tho refiners' trust and pleading thoir devotion to the Democratic cause of tariff reform, finally allowed tho Gor man bill to be odactod with the sugar schedule arranged so as to menace the planters of thoir state with ruin and bankruptcy. Senators Caffery and Blanchard have a long account to settle with their indignant home con xtituency. Vi hat Will Ho tho KIToet. There Is no reason why there should be an immediate panic oven if tho last dollar of (fold bullion should disap pear from the treasury vaults.

It is altogether probable that the coming of a premium on gold would bo followed by a sharp increase of prices of all commodities and possibly a stimulus to busine-s that would bo far from panicky in its general effects. It is predicted on tho othor hand that there would be a homo rush of foreign securities for liquidation that would overtax tho hanks and bring no ond of distress. That is a calamity cry without warrant. It is nonsense. American securities are as sound and strong as any in the world. They •re Oven tho best in tho world.

GROUND SUBSOILING, SECOND ONLY IN IMPORTANCE TO IRRIGATION. Th» Benefit* of Bnbaolllnff mm Cat Forth by the Experience of Toanfar* A Co., Proprietor* of the.OeneTa Nurseries— Their Methods of Operation—A Plain Statement from the Commencement of Experiment* Eight Tear* Age. Benefit* of Bnbsolllng. In answer to numorous inquiries in regard to our method of subsoiling w« will endeavor to present a plain state ment from the commencement' of our experiments as conducted during the past eight years at Geneva, Nebraska. In the spring of 1887 we commenced on our nursery grounds to prepare the ground for planting in the ordinary manner. We plowed the ground about eight inches deep and planted our nur sery stock, among which was a quanti ty of seedlings which were dug the same fall. In order to get the proper length of root to successfully trans plant the seedlings it became necessary to get under them much deeper than the ground had been plowed, which was accomplished by using a seedling digger set to run nearly sixteen inches ! deep It required six horses to do this work and the ground was stirred up as it had never been before. The next season this field was planted to corn and the yield was nearly 70 bushels per acre, while land plowed in the ordi nary way yielded only 35 bushels. This led us to experiment in preparing the ■oil, our motto being: “Plow deep and thoroughly prepare the soil before planting. ” I'.ach succeeding year gave us good results by deep stirring, though we did not attain the full measure of succes in our experiments until we began to use a plow to subsoil the entire ground. In the fall of 18'J1 we purchased a Mapes subsoil plow with which we succeeded in gettting down to the depth of six teen inches below the surface. Our method is to first plow eight inches deep with an ordinary 14-inch stirring plow which is followed by the subsoil plow running in the same furrow loos ening the soil to the depth of eight inches moro but not throwing it to the surface. This gives us a reservoir six teen inches in depth to catch and re tain all the moisture that falls, and we aro convinced that during the twenty three years we have resided in Filmore county there has never been a season when the rain-fall was not sufficient to fill this reservoir with water before the growing season commenced. We have been asked the following questions by correspondents: Q.—When do you subsoil—fall or spring? * A.—We have subsoiled both in spring and fall with equally good results. Q.—How many horses do you use? A.—We use three horses on each plow, though two good horses will do the work. Q.—What kind of a plow do you use? A1—The Mapes subsoil plow, manu factured by Deere & Co., Moline, 111. Cost of plow, 814.00. Q.—What is the nature of your soil? A.—See analyses of the sqil, and let ter of Prof. Whitney appended hereto Q-—Is your land upland or bottom? A.—It is upland prairie, the depth to water being 114 feet. Q.—What is the cost per acre of plowing by your method? A.—As the subsoil plow is drawn by a separate team and follows in the same furrow behind the stirring plow, it simply amounts to one extra plow ing. Q.—What is your method of cultiva tion? a*—uur metnoa is first to harrow j each evening all the land plowed dur ing the day. This breaks up the clods before they become hardened, and pre vents the soil from drying out by evap oration. Before planting we again harrow and pulverize the surface with a "float.” We are then ready for plant tag. If we plant to small grain we drill east ana west, leaving the surface just as the drill leaves it. As the prevail ing winds are from the north and south, the surface beipg made rough east and west helps to protect the grain and pre vent blowing out. If we plant to corn our method is to plant about three or four inches deep, follow the planter with the harrow, and give surface cultivation, run ning the cultivator teeth just deep enough to destroy the weeds and break up the surface of the soil. We endeavor to cultivate the corn just as soon after each rain us the condition of the ground will pertnif. If the rain be a heavy one and the soil is firmly packed it is of the utmost importance that the crust be broken as soon as possible in order to retain the moisture in the soil, the loose surface soil acting as a mulch to prevent evaporation. During the past exceedingly dry sea son, our nursery stock—particularly one field containing 800,000 apple trees —was cultivated once a week. We used a spring tooth cultivator merely stirring the surface, and as a result of this method of cultivation there was no time during the entire season when the earth would not ball in the hand under slight pressure at a depth of three inches below the surface. This condi tion was brought about by having a deep subsoil reservoir to store up the surplus moisture which fell during the early part of the season, and retained by frequently stirring the surface to prevent evaporation. We find that it is not necessary to subtoil each season, but that once in three years will answer all practical purposes. If a field is subsoiled and planted to corn the first, or first and second year, then followed by wheat or oats, the results will be satis factory, though a slight falling off will be noticed in the third crop after subsoiling, (For instance. A field that was subsoiled in the fall of 1891 and cropped to corn seasons of ’9,' and ’93, was planted to oats in the spring of ’94 and produced a yield of 3914 bushels per acre; while on another portion of the same field which had been subsoiled in the fall of ’93 and raised a crop of corn the season of ’03, the yield of oats was 44}j bushels per acre, showing a difference of 5 bushel per acre in favor of the land which had raised but one crop since subsoiling. ' Now we will compare the results on land on the same farm not subtoiled. V(toil*plowed in the tall of 1898 -AI -i. i and planted to corn In the {all of 1893, yielded 75 bushels per acre; while corn on land not subsoiled, but otherwise treated in identically the same manner, yielded but 30 bushels per acre. Land subsoiled and planted to potatoes in the spring of 1893 yielded 135 bushels per oere, while the potato crop on land not subsoiled was practically a failure. This season (1894) the yield of potatoes on subsoiled land was 90 bushels per acre. The potatoes were planted on the 18th of May, and on June 23 we had the last heavy rain of the season. From June 25 to August 16 we had 49-100 inch of rainfall, less than % inch in fifty-four days, and still we raised a fair crop of potatoes. Rye on subsoiled land yielded 30% bushels per acre; on land not subsoiled 2% bushela Oats sown on land which had raised one crop of corn since subsoiling yielded 44% bushels per acre, on land which had raised two crops of corn since sub soiling, 39% bushels per acre; on land not subsoiled, 17 bushels per acre. The corn on subsoiled land this sea son was, by an error, planted too thick. The planter had been used to drill corn for fodder, and when we commenced to plant the field corn the plates were not changed. This error caused us the loss of a corn crop this season, there being as many as five to seven stalks in each hill. The corn stood the drouth and hot winds without injury to the tassels, and wherever by accident it was thin ned out the cars were well filled and matured, and we have not the slightest doubt but that with proper planting and good cultivation, we can raise a crop of corn with no more moisture than we had this season of 1894. Just north of this field of subsoiled corn, we had a piece of corn on land not subsoiled. The two pieces were planted from the same seed, on the same day, with the same planter, and received exactly the same after cultiva tion, there being nothing but a drive way between the two pieces. Thesdif ference in these two fields was very marked. The corn on subsoiled land made a vigorous, healthy growth, the stalks were large and tall, there was an abundance of pollen up until the fifteenth of August, notwithstanding the fact of its having been planted en tirely too thick, yielded a little over 15 bushels of sound corn per acre. On the land not subsoiled the stalks were not more than two-thirds as tall, were much smaller in diameter, the tassels were completely withered by the hot winds of July 28, and there was not a peck of corn on the entire field. We are convinced from these facts that if there is a fair amount of moisture in the soil, hot winds are not necessarily fatal to a crop of corn. One of our neighbors, Mr. J. H. Heath, living a short distance from Ge neva, succeeded in raising the best field of corn in this neighborhood. His method is to use a lister with a subsoil attachment. He runs - the lister ten inches deep, the subsoil attachment loosening the soil three or four inches below that He believes in thorough cultivation, and this season his corn averaged 20 bushels ber acre. We append both the chemical and mechanical analysis of the soil, togeth er with a. letter from Hon. J. Sterling Morton, also weather report from the government station at this point Respectfully, lOUAUISKS <K 1^0. VIEWS OF 8ECRKTARY MORTON. United States Department of Ag riculture, Office of the Secretary, Washington, D. C., Aug. 14, 1894.— Hon A. J. Sawyer, Lincoln, Neb.—Dear Sir: This department recently received from the firm of Younger & Co., Gene va, Neb., a sample of the surface soil and corresponding subsoil which is sup posed to represent a large amount of soil in that section of Nebraska. These samples were subjected to mechanical analysis in the divisions of agricultural soils The result of this analysis are so exceedingly interesting that 1 beg to,call yor attention to them and to ask vou to present them to the irrigation convention about to assemble in your state at Lincolu. I enclose you herewith a copy of the division of agricultural soils and also a tabulated statement of the analysis, accompanied by specimens of the dif frent ingredients contained in the samples, arranged so as to make an in teresting object lesson of the result. Experience has shown that this soil is very refractory and very diffi cult to improve. In dry seasons it produces almost nothing. It has also been ascertained by experience that this soil is greatly benefitted by subsoiling and thorough cultivation. The question to be answered by the analysis was, therefore: Does the sub soil contain anything which enriches the surface soil when it is brought up, or is the improvement resulting from subsoiling and cultivation due entirely to the loosening of the soil? The an alysis show.s that the latter is the trne explanation. A chemical analysis of the samples is being made and will be reported to you later, but sufficient has been done to show that there has been no consid erable amount of lime or other cliemt» cal substance it the subsoil to explain the favorable results of subsoiling. These favorable results must, there fore, be wholly due to the loosening and opening up of an otherwise imper vious soil. This soil and subsoil are both com posed almost wholy of very fine sand, ailt and clay. There is also a large amount of organic matter containing considerable nitrogen. Cultivated in the ordinary manner, a soil of this character remains impervious to water and air, and therefore very subject to dronth, and although it contains many elements of fertility, these cannot be come readily available WHY NOT SUBSOIL? The practical suggestions which I wish to submit to our friends is: Why not subsoil and cultivate more thor oughly? Instead of digging ditches let us first try subsoiling as a means of catching and holding the water that nature supplies us on the spot. The success that Messrs. Younger & Co. have attained by subsoiling their land, as now explained by this mechan ical analysis, suggests that this is the possible solution of the question that the irrigation convention is called upon to solve. My proposition, therefore, is, instead of digging ditches, subsoil and cultivate thoroughly I remain, with warm personal re gards and best wishes for the success of the convention of irrigationists at Lincoln, very truly yours, J. STERLING MOBTON, Secretary. CHEMICAL ANALYSIS. Unites States Department of Ag riculture, Division of Chemistry, Washisatow, D. C. August SO, 1891— Hon. Chas. W. Dabney, jr., Assistant Secretary.—Sir: I submit herewith the result of the analysis of the samples of of soil and Bubsoil from Younger|& Co., Geneva, Neb., transmitted by you to this division for examination. The analyses show a remarkable sim ilarity between the two Boils, indicat ing that the subsoil is practically as rich in plant food as the soil Itself. The soil in its constitution is remarkably similar to the typical blue grass soils of Kentucky. Its great fertility depends largely upon the high content of pot ash which it holds and on its content of humus There is no basis for the idea which is entertained by the owners of the soil that the subsoil is of a m\rly na ture. It contains rather a low percent age of lime carbonate. Its fertilizing value as indicated above, and which has been noticed by the people in the vicinity, depends upon the abundance of the plant food elements already mentioned. Bespectfully, H. VV. Wiles-, Chief of Division, t DRESS SUITS TO RENT. hell About the Ballasts, tho Price*1 and the lieu Who Hire Them. More men than ever buy dress suits nowadays, and more dress suits are hired also. There are in New Tork probably fifty or sixty places where dress suits can be hired, says the Sun of that city. The cost varies from fifty cents to $3 a night, depending on localities and the character of the suit. The wearers of hired dress suits in clude guests in hotels and visitors in the city who have unexpectedly found need of a dress suit. Dress suits are sent daily in the season from this city to Brooklyn and Long island, Hoboken, Jersey City and Staten island, and frequently to places further away. There is one establishment whose solo business is renting dress suits. Generally the business is carried on in connection with some other trade. Some men hire a dress suit once a season, others two or three times, and others again hire them season after season, thus avoiding the trouble of keeping dress suits of their own in order. At the establishment devoted ex clusively to the business there are kept in stock from 250 to 350 suits. The suits are of good quality and fashion ably out. The charges run from $2 to $3 dollars. The latter price might be charged for a suit that had never been worn. A party of a dozen or fifteen men hiring together would get them at $1.50 each. Sometimes en tire clubs, perhaps fifty or sixty men, hire suits for a ball or reception. In suoh cases they get them at perhaps $1 a suit. When strangers want to hire dress suits a depoito is sometimes required, usually $20 or $25. The ordinary life of a dress suit is about two years. After that it is let at a lower price, perhaps $1.50, to be worn in amateur minstrel entertain ments, or for uses entailing harder wear than it would be likely to get in ordinary social service. In their final estate the coats are sold' to waiters for $2.50 or $3. Such coats may be in good order, and not much worn but not in the current style. Of course winter is the best season for this business, but there is some thing doing the year round. It is not unusual for men going away over Sun day to hire dress suits to take away with them. The best months of the year are January • and February; the greatest demand of all comes on the nights of the great publio balls. If the Earth Were Divided.
