The cot ton belt was just alxnit persuaded that it would have to substitute some- oilier staple for its main dependence. The :boll weevil was supposed to be winning. I Last yeair's cotton crop, according to the final govern rnent report just issued, amounted to more than 16,000,000 bales. It is only a few thousand bales less than the record crop of 12 years ago. And it was produced as a result of the application of modern science in agriculture. .'" This huge crop may not be an unmitigated blessing. Possibly the growers would get a little more for their crop if the total were less. It sometimes works that way. But be that as it may, the big fact is that southern agriculture, helped to a reasonable extent by nature in the way of fav orable weather, has triumphed over the boll weevil. That pent Bt.ill persists, but his destructive power has been ex aggerated. American cotton will probably outlast him. honest Mk?&yz. 1 . MM: feet AT VOL)! I lit-Z-''', GeT RGvT BACW OOmM -tf-toSE.

Mftliu.si'luh must thj life-insurance YESTERDAY WAS EASTER. Ohca. ' nt-fm loast,' in each rbvolvinjr year, man is car ried to the mountain tops and invited to ponder the con summation of faith. Easter, the pajran festivaTwhich time has sanctified in the most glorious moment of Christian progress, is the symbol of that paradise which, if it is not credited on our lips, persists Vitally 'in our1 secret heart. The mystery of existence is fiTim enough. J'or the little steps we take in knowledge there remains, the stretch ing miles of vaue eternity. The careless boast ends at the grave and the man who goes out with a scornful laugh has roblwd himself of the sublime gift of consolation. Na ture, at once sorceress and prophetess, teaches ceaselessly the lesson of resurrection; painstakingly she shrivels the fruits of the earth, scatters the seed, buries it, breathes the quickening life into it and rears it to fruition. ; Life follows life, and generations succeed one another; somewhere these things link themselves together into a single story of remembrance and the acts of a century ago become the experience by which today guides itself. If the body disappears, the influence that which comes from the soul goes on so long as there remains a human mind to con it: ' "The moving finger writes; and having wiil, Moves on; nor all your piety nor wit Shall lure it. back to cancel half a line, j Nor all your tears wash out a word of it." - i To this crushing inevitability come;; the story of the Christian year, translating all the woild into an allegory rf faith and hope; it sums up in itself all those phases which make up life birth, youth, despair, bitterness, death; and crowns these things with the sublimest con ception ever breathed into the heart of man. As the flower performs its reeurr.Mit miracle of bloom; as the year solemnly glides from spring to harvest, from harvest to winters annihilation and then to spring againj to, in the figure of the Christ, does man emerge from the chains of mortality and reach the apotheosis of spiritual csum'ctiori.

It Is as easily grown us the common oyster plant or salsify. The hlack oyster plant Is so named because Its roots have a black. cov ering1. They are as white inside as the oyster plant and have the ad vantage of Browlnff to larger !7.e and being more convenient to clean and nmnure for cooking. Another jname for the black oyster plant Is jscorzonera. Itoth the oyster plant and 'the seorzoneru should be planted early. The first Is a hardy biennial and I the second a hardy perennial, and the roots may remain la 'he pro it ml for two or three yca.s, b it it is ut its best the winter following Its ! first season. It Is one of the two root crops that may be dug any .tjnue, during the winter, the other being tne pursmp. The seorzonera Is vell worth- n small space in the garden where It will occupy little: room and' furnish a welcome change next winter. Care must be used to secure seed from a relialihj'deuler as the Jlfe of the seed is only one year. , , . Tulip rooted parsley Is another I novel vegetable, although by r no I means, new. which, with celeriac or turnip rooted celery, Is appearing in the city markets. Both are easl- I ly grown in tin home garden and a tew roots may hectored for win ter use. The chief value is US flavoring for soups and stews. Kohl i a bis are now recognized jin one of the moid delicute of I ho turnip-cabbage trible for an early garden crop. They are at 1 heir best, w hen given an early spring start, as they grow pithy and woody In hoi weather. They. too. have become an all-season market vegetable.
