fore has competition been so close among cotton- 
produclDg countries and by snch outrages as they 
threaten, the Mississippi outlaws are merely pro- 
motlngthe Interests of cotton growers In other coun¬ 
tries. 
Replies from 1,800 dealers In clover seed In Ohio, 
Indiana, Illinois and Michigan, which 8 tates pro¬ 
duce most of the clover seed and nearly all the sur¬ 
plus, tell the Department of Agriculture that the 
seed crop of Mammoth Is a trifle below an average, 
while that of Medium Is less than two-thirds of an 
average. Generally twice as much of the latter as 
of the former Is raised, so that the falling off Is all 
the more lamentable. The quality of both kinds Is 
better than usual. The reports are almost unani¬ 
mous that there Is no old seed left in the Interior, so 
that there is less surplus than for several years, and 
It Is believed a considerable amount of Imported 
seed will be needed. 
The Cherokee Strip boomers, huddled under all 
sorts of shelter or exposed " in the open ” along the 
borders of the “ Promised Land,” have, for the most 
part, suffered terrible things during the last week or 
fortnight. They have been densely packed around 
the United States registry offices, and many of them 
have kept In line for long periods, some two days or 
more, as the clerical force and number of registra¬ 
tion places have been quite Inadequate. At the 
offices from 4,000 to v,0C0 home-seekers have often 
been In line at the same time—many of them women. 
On September 14 over 1.0C0 of the latter-mostly 
school teachers, typewriters, clerks and servants— 
were registered at office No. 9 alone. As many as 
20,000 fresh arrivals occurred on the same day along 
the northern line. Complaints have been loud and 
bitter of favoritism on the parts of the clerks and 
soldiers, who are charged with securing registration 
out of their turn for those wlllllng to pay from $2 to 
$5 apiece. Then the land-grabbers are out In force 
to seize upon the best locations through means of 
hired cowboys and other reckless desperadoes, so 
the opening is freely stigmatized as a fraudulent 
land speculation. The weather has been extremely 
hot during the past week, the thermometer register¬ 
ing 110 degrees last Thursday. Water has been 
scarce and selling at high prices—as much as $1 
a bucket. Food of all kinds has been at famine 
prices. Exposure to the torrid sun, sweeping hot 
winds and ubiquitous dust clouds have caused a 
world of woe and sickness, and hundreds have gone 
away In disgust, disappointment and wrath. Honest 
settlers lucky enough to secure a homestead will 
have richly earned It—but the rascals appear to have 
the upper hand.

FRUIT CULTURE, 
and the Laying Out and Manage¬ 
ment of a Country Home.—By W. 
C. Strong, Ex-President of the Mas¬ 
sachusetts Horticultural Society, and 
Vice-President of the American Po- 
mological Society. Illustrated. New 
revised edition, with many additions, 
making it the latest and freshest book 
on the subject. 
“ Mr. Strong gives evidence of that thorough grasp 
of the subject which he has gained from 30 years' 
experience as an orchardlst. His book Is a simple 
clear well-condensed manual of practical informa¬ 
tion on the fundamental principles involved in the 
successful cultivation of each species of fruit 
Boston Advertiser. 
“ In no branch of Intelligence has there been so 
much advance as In horticulture. Every year solves 
new problems Insoluble before, and with new IdeaB 
new books follow. It Is In just this line (In the 
endeavor to elucidate fundamental principles) that 
Mr. Strong believes he finds an unoccupied field 
and this book is the result.”— Thomas Meehan in’ 
Gardener’s Monthly. 
“The author has shown excellent Judgment In 
giving the particular information which small fruit 
raisers wish to know ."—Boston Transcript. 
“The directions are specific enough to be under¬ 
stood by beginners and wise enough to be of profit 
to experienced fruit growers.”—Home and Farm 
(Louisville).
