Now IS the time for the juicy
prune to appear on every American
table. On the Pacific coast there
was left over from last years crop
165, 900, 900 pounds Of prunes and
1900 carloads of ralsins. Now
comes an enormous new crop,
while the demand has fallen off.
Consequently tue growers OH the
other side Of the continent are feed
ing tue fresh prunes to the hogs
rather than to dry and pack them.
The current price for prunes is
II to / cents pound fer all four
sizes, free ON board, Pacific coast,
and for ra;sins, accor ding to quality,
from 2 to. Il cents per pound for
the old crop aud from 81 to 81

How to Get Rid Of Cocoa
Grass.

A special to the Daily States
from jackson, Miss. says:
According to Mr.. J. W. Waterer,
q prominent planter OF Yazoo
county, an absolutely sure method
to get rid of the troublesome and
destructive cocoa grass which ill.,
tests many parts of the State is to
SOW the land broadcast with okra
for one year.
Mr.. Waterer states that several
years ago he read of this method
in the agricultural columns Of the
Atlanta Constitution, and made the
experiment with complete success.
Since that time his plantation has
no: been infested with cocoa grass,
but many valuable places adjoining
his have been almost ruined by the
pest. He estimates that from 10
to 20 acres Of land troubled with
cocoa grass can be cleaned, each
year BY merely wiring l: off and
apart from tue other lano and SOW.

CAUSE Of locKIAW.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by 4
bacillus or germ which exists plentifully
In street dirt. It is inactive so long as
exposed to the air. but when carried be-
meath the skin as in the wounds caused
by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ is
reused to activity and produces the
most viruient poison known. These
germs may be destroy ed and all danger
of lockjnw avoided by applying Cham
berlain's Pain Balm freely al soon as
the injury Is received. Pain Balm is an
antiseptic and causes such injuries
to heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the usual
treatment. It Is for sale by JOS. s.

The Cotton Crop.

The Times-Democrat issued itt
monthly report on the condition Of
the cotton crop Monday, Oct. 8,
which Is IN part as follows:
While many sections report more
or less deterioration during Sep
tember, 1t is probable that, on the
] whole, the loss was not 10 great as
had been anticipated by farmers.
The unusually hot, dry weather
of September caused cotton to open
very rapidly throughout the entire
belt, many sections reporting prac-
:icaily the entire crop now open.
This condition has made 1t neces.
sarY TO hasten the harvest as much
as possible, and there is IN almost
every quarter an urgent demand
for pickers that can not be supplied
even atl,wages much higher than
usually paid. With fields white
with open cotton, this scarcity of
labor for picking is just now .
serious problem with the planter.
Heavy rains during October would
be disastrous IN many parts of the
belt.
The early and rapid maturity OF
crop, together with the fact that
early varieties of cotton were plant
ed in sectio1s menaced by the boil
weevil, resulted in an unusually
heavy movement to market during
September. As a rule, farmers
have shown disposition TO sell
freely at ten cents or better, but
an unwilIingness TO accept less. In
many sections farmers are disposed
TO hold for better prices than have
been offered this season.
With favorable weather tor an
other month, and a late frost. the
yield will probably be some larger
than last season, but tins increase
will not he III proportion TO the ln-
creased acreage planted.

COTTON STUBBORN
1t Hangs on Close to
Ten Cents.
That II viii Go Higher is the Opinion
of Men Who Have Studied
the COndi-
lions.

Tho spot cotton market in Raleigh
and throughout the cotton belt has
etood for weeks at nearly the same
figures.
Grades from a little over nine cents,
10 nine and a half cents, and With
some spurts up as high as 1915 for
the best grades.
Lately the figures have been below
9 IL cents, but i'm the last few days
il has been 8 IL, 8 9-16, 9 SIS, and
the top notch yesterday paid here was
9 SIS cents q pound. 1t was exactly a
year ago that cotton broke from the
ten cent mark and went up to 10 3-16
A great portion of the crop has al
ready been marketed, in some sections!
fully fifty per cent, but in this section
it is less than this, for the farmers
about Raleigh have generally been
holding on for ten cents and over, fig
ures which they think will certainly
come.
In this opinion they reach the same
result as that reached by men deal
ing in cotton, many of whom expect
IN see q greater price paid than that
at present the rule.
Mr.. Charles Il. Johnson, of this city,
one of the best known cotton men in
the State and the South, said i'm sub
stance yesterday
Cotton is stubborn and refuses to
be forced down to lower prices. Those
buyers who are expecting to get cotton
for less money than is now being paid
had best haul in their horns. The far
mers are not going TO sell for less and
they are able to hold their crops bet
ter now than for many years, and they
are doing it, waiting for higher
prices
Here is a prediction: 'If the South
makes two more good cotton crops,
and sells at good prices, it is going to
be the richest section of the Union,
and it Will take the place in the coun-
try to which it is entitled. 1t will
again be the home of Presidents and
of the leading Congressman and Sen
ators, furnishing the leaders for the
ma ton"
Capt c. N. Allen, of Auburn, the
largest cotton grower in Wake coun-
ty, and the member of the Board Of
Agriculture from the Fourth district,
who was in Raleigh yesterday, said:
II have fully made up my mind
never to sell another pound of cotton
for less than ten cents, therefore am
not selling at the present prices"
Last year Capt. Allen held his crop
and sold the bulk of it for over 16
cents pound thus getting the highest
price on the Raleigh market for the
past tWenty-nine years. A few years
ago he sold at - cents, thus being the
highest price in twenty years. That
shows what he thinks of holding for a
good price, and that he puts his belief
into practice.
He thinks that cotton will go up in
the spring and he is going to hold his
crop for the expected advance.
There are many others of like mind
with Captain Allen, and there propose
to hold for the advance, which they
think is certain to come.
