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.

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. If a
panic should come it will be of tho

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

It is predicted on tho othor hand

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.

mechanical analysis of the soil, togeth

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,

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.
