AMERICA HOLDING COTTOMSUPREMACY Efforts of Egypt and India to Secure This Honor Not Yet a Success.

BY 8YDNEY ESPEY. Washington, April 17. Kipping pace with tho advancing prosperity of the south the cotton crop of the Untied States is Jumping upward by leaps and bounds. It was larger In 1910 than ever before. Other nations, notably Ksypt and India, both parts of the Itrltltih empire, are trying to question the supremacy of the United Htatea In the cotton field, but this supremacy seems to be unassailable. This nation exported $530,000,000 worth of cotton In Iftlfl. In value of cotton exported, this exceeds by $60,. 000,000 the best previous record, but the quantity exported, however, was materially less than In certain earlier years. The pxtorts In 1910 amounted to 3,44, ooo.ooo pounds, but In 10OS the record mark In quantity was reached when the exxrts totalled 4.374.000,000 pounds. In 19'S, bowever, the value of the exwrt crop was but $439,000,000. The average export price jn 1910 was HVi cents, as against 10 cents In 1fos. The exKrts of raw cotton represent approximately two-thirds of the cotton produdioi of this country, and this ratio between the cxtorts and the domestic consumption has been main tained through a long period of years.! In the early )enrs of this century cotton rapidly became the dominant feature of American exports and even In the marvcloim advance of agricultural and manufacturing Interests in the Kuropean market of the past twenty years, cotton has more than held Its own. Tho nations of the world are compelled to come to tho I'nlted States for their cotton because of the scarcity of the staple in other sections of the globe. Estimates for Year. An estimate of the cotton production of the world for the season of 1910-11, supplied by the bureau of statutes of the department of commerce and labor Is as follows: For the United States. 10.153.000 bales of f00 pounds; India, 4,lSt,,Ouo bales; ('hint., 1.200.00 bales; Kgypt, 970.000 bales; Russia (Asiatic provinces) 768.000 bales; Mexico, 125,000 bales, and miscellaneous, including Ilrazll, Peru, Uersia, Turkey, and other countries, 615,000 bales, making the world's crop 18,049.000 bales of which considerably more than half was supplied by the United States. The Hrltish empire is making a great effort to Increase the cotton crop of Kgypt. It Is believed that In thar ancient land climatic and soil ronditions are extremely favorable to the development of cotton, and scientists believe that in the future Its crop will rival that of the United States. It U not yet a formidable factor of the world's supply, however. The great mills of England still look across the Atlantic for the bulk of cotton for their looms. China now ranks third among the world's cotton producers. That empire has an annual production of 1,200,000 bales, most of which is manufactured Into yarns and cloth by hand machines, while 2no,no bales are annually exported to Japan. Of the cotton crop of India it is estimated that slightly less than one-half Is exported. Of the Kgyptlan cotton practically all is exported, going chetfly to Great Britain and the United States. Its long staple and silky luster give it n high value when used in conjunction with the shorter stapled cotton of other parts of the world. What Outlook It. The outlook for an Increased cotton crop In the United States Is highly favorable, according to the governscientlsts. Despite the encroachMAY AVOID OPERATIONS By taking Lydia E.

AT ments of the boll weevil, and the limitations which nature has imposed on the cotton growing area, it is believed that Intensive or scientific development, can be instituted in regard to this Htiiplr with the same good results that have followed with other agricultural products. Scientists of the bureau of soils and of the bureau of plant Industry, department of agriculture, are now paying great attention to this phase of the cotton problem. It is believed that the advance of the boll weevil has been stopped temporarily at. least. It has not secured any strong foothold In new territory of the south In the past two years. The value of raw cotton imported into the United Statea during the year 1910 was, in round terms about $13,ono.ooo, of which $10,000,000, came direct from Kgypt, $2,0oo,000 from the United Kingdom, presumably from Kgypt; nearly $1,000,000 from Peru, and $750,000 from China. Another factor affecting the cotton situation is the rapid growth of cotton mills in the south. The United States has always been a great importer of cotton cloth from Kngland, manufactured largely from its own cotton. The cotton cloth supply of this country annually shows an increase of domestic manufacture, but Kngland's textile industries are so firmly organized and entrenched that for many years her American rivals made little headway. Tho value of cotton manufactures exported during 1910 was in round terms. $35,000,000, and of the cotton manufactures, imported, $66,000,000, of which more than half was .in the form of laces, edgings, embroideries, and other high grade manufactures of this character. Comparing the total value of the cotton exported in 1910 with that of earlier years, the figures of the bureuu of statistics are as follows: 1910, $5:10.000,000; 1909, $462,000,000; 190S, $4:19.000,00; 190", $407,000,000; 1906, $413,000,000. Prior to l!06 tho total hnd never reached the $40o,ooo,ooo mark, though the quantity exported in 1306, which was 3,641,000 pounds was less than in anv year si net- 1904. Ai Local Theaters "Ben Hur." Will there ever be another "Ben Hur?" I looks by the thousand are written every year, read, talked of and forgotten. Plays are produced by the hundreds each season; are seen by crowds and sink into the Limbo of oblivion; that Is. most of them. There are two or three exceptions. Klaw & Krlanger's production of "Ben Hur," Is one conspicuous example, and Lilt & Dingwall's "In Old Kentucky," is another, with "Way Down East," as a good third; but these latter plays have nothing in common with General Iew Wallace's immortal romance except their longevity. More than nine million people have seen the great drama of "Ben Hur," and more than three million copies of the book have been sold; yet the desire both to see and to read has not been satisfied. The serried thousands still clamor for sight of the wonderful Star of Bethlehem or hang breathless on the result of the marvelous chariot race In which the victory of Hur means happiness for him and his family, the defeat of paganism and the glory of the Christ. There have been other books written along the lines of "Ben Hur," and they have achieved ephemeral success both as romances and afterwards as plays. "Quo Vadis." is a striking example. It was read by many thousands of people in every quarter of the globe. As a play it had n phenomenal run for a season and then died of neglect. Now It is only memory. But "Ben Hur' continues to shine In the theaters of the country, bringing into their doors untold thousands of persons who ordinarily abhor and detest the playhouse. The sincerity and beauty of the story, the magnificence of the spec tacle, the reverence with which the drama touches on sacred subjects and the illuminating and exalting scene at the finish, the triumphal entry into Jerusalem of the Nazarene. have made a visit to the theater in which "Ben Hur" is presented something to ujlift the spectator and send him away rejoicing in his human nature.

Constance Collier has received a flattering offer from Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree to play the leadng femin ine roles in his Shakespearean revivals this spring. Her acceptance of the offer depends upon whether the run of "Thais," in which she is playing the title role, is cut short by warm weather. The New Theater in New York has been leased to the Liebler company at a rent said to be $75,000 a year apd 20 per cent of the profits. The first production to be made there will be the "Garden of Allah" on an elaborate scale. The lease is to be for a short time only, as the founders of the theater contemplate giving grand opera there in a few seasons.

ELECTRIC HATCHING

Is the Latest Experiment in the Northwest. (American News Service)

Spokane, Wash., April 17. Sixty-' leo H. Fihe, with characteristic ennine healthv chicks from n setting of terprise. has succeeded in landing tho

73 eggs have just been hatched by electricity on J. Don Alexander's ranch at Reitmeier's Station. Washing-; ten. near Spokane. Tho initial test was so successful that 1.300 eggs will be placed in the incubators as soon as the apparatus can be installed. The equipment which is not patented, can be attached to an ordinary oil-burning incubator at an expense of less than a dollar. Construction of the electrically operated incubator is simple. Mr. Alexander took the lamps from the oil-burning machines and wound German silver wire around the frames above the! egg trays, connecting the coils with an incadescent light circuit. This is made through a contact device, consisting of a piece of iron fixed on the regulator arm to dip into a small cup filled with mercury. Wlien the temperature in the incubator vises to 103 degrees, the natural hatching point, the iron arm is lifted automatically, shutting off tho current, until there is a fall of one-fourth degree. As a precaution against overheating in t'le event of the failure of the controlling device, a piece of underwriter's fuse is placed in Cie circuit at the hottest part of the machine, thus shutting eff the current at 155 degrees fahrenheit. "The chicks we hatched in testing the machine the first time are of nor-! mal size and unusually lively," Mr. Alexander said, adding: "Of course I did not strike it the first time. 1 experimented several months with small) settings before reaching what is said I by poultry experts to be perfect, incubating heat by electricity. Tho reason I did not protect the invention by patents is because I want every farmer interested in chicken culture to profit by my work without any expense on his part. I have nothing to sell."
