those serving that the old name was
changed. and that the regiment was in
future to be associated with new conn
ty, for its earliest connections had BEEN
with Devonshire. many western names had
been borne for a century or more upon
it's rolls, and its war-worn coors and
the monuments TO Its bravery had found
shelter and honorable record in Exeter ca
thedral but at the time OF the territorial
change the Twentieth had its depot at
Bury Lancashire, and the county title for
Devonshire had already been appropriat-

TIE ENGLISH SPARROWS. The resi-.
dents OF Germantown have long labore6
under the dclusion, says the Philadel
phia Record, that the English sparrow,
which 10 found in every nook and cor.
ner OF that historic suburb, was intro.
duccd into tho United States by the
late John w. Bardsley, native of Eng
land, who was famiHarly known fs

lived in the little two.story house still
standing at Main and Upsal streets,
Germantown. From an authoritative
source 1t now appears that the respon-
sibility for tho introduction OF these
pest'ferous little birds must be laid
upon Nicholas Pike, OF Brooklyn. He,
1t Is stated, brought over with him
from England In the fall OF 1850 about
eight pairs OF sparrows, but they soon
died. Two years later he repeated the
experiment, having purchased q num-
bor of sparrOws while On his way to

HOW TO FIGHT THE TRUSTS

Nix. J. a. Marsh, Of Union County,
\. c., makes the following sensible
suggestions
L suppose farmers are generally
pleased with the interest being taken
in regard to the fertilizer trust, hoping
that it may eventually result in devls-
ing some PRACTICAL, systematic cooper
ativc plan of cirectuasly preventing
said trust from raising the prices be-
yond all reason, which doubtless any
and all trusts would do were they GER
tain that they could force the people
to buy their goods.

ctfcctual, especially this late IN the sea-
son, for each and every farmer to call

amblG and resolutions

"A Noted Cotton Expert Advises
Against Selling tho Crop in Adj
vance.
Thcro is tendency on tho part OF
! some cotton growers to consider favor
ably plans for selling in advance the
crop which they expect to raise this
season, and some newspapers have
advised thcm TO try 1T. In regard to
the proposition that Southern farmers
should sell on basis Of Now York
futures for September and October
delivery their crops Of cotton not vet
planted, MIR. Alfred b. SheDpersou
writes aS follows in the Manufacturers
Record
mo farmer could sell his crop on
the basis Of prices for September and
October delivery unless he agreed to
deliver it during those months. He
could deliver only small proportion
OF his crop by that time, as picking
usually goes on until December and
sometimes much later. He could only
sell with safety for delivery In Novcm-
Der and December, and New York
futures for these months are nearly
half a cent lower than for September
delivery. The present price for
November delivery would leave the
farmer, after paying freight, commits
slOns anu other charges, about cents
per pound ior middting cotton. This
should not be regarded very tempt
Ing price, since IT has been exceeded
during every calendar year with only
one exception since 1926.
"Should the farmer sell now fOr de-
livery next fall or winter and prices
before then should advance from anv
reason, he would have to make u de-
posit OF money equal TO the advance,
and tho raising OF this money might
prove announcement and expensive. If
the farmer should sell more than his
crop turned out to be, he would then
have to buy Of his neig h bOrs to max o
up the quantity. In the event OF high
cr prices ruling at that time than hc
had sold at, he might thus suffer con.
