awhile that the farmers would suffer
material losses. But in most cas-
their antipathy for the Afro-American

the excursions planned by the rail-
road companies for their importation
fell 'y the wayside.
A new feature Of ;he cotton crop
this year is an excessive demand for
,inters. Representatives of German
firms made their first appearance in
this field. and they have done a good
business. The orly apparent draw
back to this class of trace Is the fact
that shipping rates are higher than
from the Mississippi and Georgia
mills
In view OF this fact movement
has been started among the cotton
men to take the matter up with the
railroad companies with a view Of Sc
curing better rates. Oklahoma iirters
have been pronounced superior to any
other in the United States and the
mills here are selling them at lower
figures. Should the railroads take
favorable action there seems no ques-

Mr.. Parke has been in charge of the
Wyoming division of the Union Pacific

that division without men, SO far az
