States Association of Commissioners of
Agriculture to-day reelected all its old
officers to serve the ensuing year.
Little Rock, Raleigh and Montgomery
were nominated for the next meeting
place. The vote resulted in a tie. and
the matter was referred to the Execu-
tive Committee.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson was
elected an honorary member.
The following telegram from Memphis
was read:
We the undersigned Interested in the
prosperity of the cotton producers of the
South, respectfully suggest that your as
sociation, by resolution, request the, cot
ton exchanges of New orleans and New
York TO change their contracts for future
delivery of cotton; to clearly define an
each and every one the grade of cotton
TO be delivered. so. that the buyer may
know what he is buying and be placed
on an equal footing with the seller. We
do this because we believe that the pres
emit contract basis of middling Is a lever
being used to depreciate the value of our
great staple, and instead we want the
contract to be a mercantile Transaction
The telegram, which was signed by
George Arnold T. M Norfleet, McNeal
Bond, s. Lundee. Robert Wilkerson and
H. S. Spinning, provoked considerable dis
cussion.
A number of matters relating TO the
raising of cotton, concerning fertilizers,

discussion upon the subject of correct and
reliable cotton statistics. Definite action
in the shape of resolutions will be taken
later on these matters.

CHINESE TID-BITs.
DeIicacfes Imported for San Fran
cisco CeIestinIs.

From the Philadelphia Record. -
The common belief is that the Chineses
diet consists largely of rodents and bird
nests, but, while not quite so unappetizing,
II nevertheless consists almost exclusively
of foods with which other people are I'M
familiar. The Chinese dietary Is almost
exclusively vegetarian. and the Chinese
have the reputation of producing the
greatest amount of food material from a
given area. The United States government
agricultural experts are studying the prin-
cpal Chinese food plants for the purpose
of discovering whether any of them would
make suitable or desirable additions to our
vegetable gardens. Naturally, the Chinese
quarter of San Francisco from its prox-
unity and ready accessibility to Chineses
ports, and the large food requirements of
che numerous Cinnamon who market
there, offered the greatest opportunities
for these Investigations. Most of the Curl
Gus roots, green vegeta D,es, seeds and 9TH
er articles of food making up the stock in
trade of the Chinese merchant are totally
unknown and unstable outside of the mar
row limits of the Chinese quarters
few of them are grown in California but
almost all are imported directly from Can
ton.
