Washington. Feb. 13.-The state de-
partment today issued this statement:
AFTER some preliminary exchange OF
views between this government and tn.
governments OF other powers inter-
ested in Chinese matters. the depart
ment on the 10th OF February sent the
following instruction to the American
representatives in ST. Petersburg. To-
kio and Pekdn:
"'You will express to the minis
ter for foreign affairs the earnest
desire OF the government OF the
United States that in the course OF
military operations which have be-
gun between Russia and Japan
the neutrality of China and in all
practicable ways her admdntstra-
tive entity shall be respected by
both parties and that the area OF
hostilities shall be localized and
limited as much as possible. SO un-
due excitement and disturbance OF
the Chinese people may be pre-
vented and the least possible loss
to commerce and intercourse OF
the world will be occasioned.
(signed) JOHN HAY
IA the same time this government
informed all the powers slgnatory OF
the protocol at Pekin Of its action AMI
requested similar action on their part"
No answers to the above note. in ad-
dition TO those received up to yester-
day, have been received at the depart
ment.
There is hint that Austria will seek
to avoid any participation In the pro-
ents. on the ground that she has small
concern in the matter. England wants
a more definite statement OF the pur-
pose and scope Of the note. Hay is
disinclined to yield to this wish. He
thinks it would be impossible to get
the powers together. IL An attempt is
made to very exactly define the pur-
pose OF the concurrent action. 1t is
declared uhe government has been AMI.

purposes and has tried to express that
fact in its note.

The Wise Course For the Farmer
Correspondent Cotton Plant

Cotton has been an interesting
subject for many years. 1t grows
more interesting as each years
crop is marketed. The changes
in the price of cotton have a wide
felt effect upon the finances OF
the civilized world. The sudden
rise or fall of one cent per pound
in the price of lint cotton makes
and unmakes fortunes in a day.
These things make it impor-
;ant tor the farmer to study the
supply and demand for cotton.
If the crop is few thousand
bales in excess of the demand,
the entire crop sells for less than
it should. If on the other hand
it falls below the demand, the
price advances beyond the real
value. Hence it is a matter of
vital Importance to the farmer to
know how much is wanted and
how to make just about that
quantity.
Just now the supply is short of
