The telephone habit is mighty good
one for our farm folks to have. Out in
Iowa there is one telephone for every
two families in the state. There are over
$4,000 separate rural lines, with over
25O,OOO miles of wire, and nearly 5000
instruments in that one state. 1t will be
a great thing for this section when prac-
tically every thrifty farmers family has
a telephone.

HDGhHTON, WIS.,, ApTll Il, lSUO.
The scarcity of goods remaining in
growers hands is ample reason for the
marked decline in the buying movement
though buyers are still riding the grow
ing districts ready to take over desirable
lots of both old and new leaf. There
never was time when old goods were so
thoroughly gathered in and even the '04
cropis is much more closely absobed than
the market imagines. A few recent
transactions show prevailing prices:
Lars Severson, 5a at 711a&2c asst.
Il. Sorenson, 5a at Ga &3c asst
Simon Berg s19cs at 7tS2c asst.
Frank Patterson. 15cs at 7&2c.
II. w. Collins. 10a at 61ac.
G. 3. Sweeney has sold something over
1O0cs OF 03 leaf during the week to a
GAINESVILLE packer.
The most important transaction of late
is the purchase of three local packings of
'O4 crop, amounting to about 1900 cases,
by w. S. Brill for the account of the
United Cigar Manufacturers. making
this firm the largest holders of last
years Wisconsin product.

A week of unusually cold weather has
delayed the laying of plant beds some
what, many growers prefering to hold
their sprouted seed for the advent OF
warmer weather. which is now due.
The shipments out ofstorage reach a
total of 20 car loads, 1000 cases, from this
market to all points for the week.

The 1904 crop is very closely picked
up, there being only an occasional lot
left in growers hands. Indications at
present are that this years acreage will
not be materially increased over the last
season. The majority of growers realize
that quality counts for more than guam
tity. everything considered, and are
striving to produce better class of to-
bacco. A few seed beds are already
sown, several being seen in drive from
Soldiers Grove to Rising Sun. By the
end of the week most of the growers will
have their seed sprouted and sown.

PROTECT YOUR oTTo

|
The farmers of the south ~ for
weeks and months had 1t dinged into
their ears that those OF them who in
tended to hold theiI cotton should house
It and protect 1t from rain in order to
have it bring the best price when they
did put it on the market. Their aten-
ton has been called to the fact that
they would lose money, no matter what
the market price, when they sold their
cotton If they put il on he market
soaked with monfhs of rain and muddy
and dirty from lying out in the
weather. 1t does not seem that intel
iigont farmers would need such advice
from the newspaper men and it is still
more incredible that after having this
advice and the plain easons for it
thown at them day after day and week
after week for months that 80 many of
them should pay no attention to 1t.
Take a trip on any one OF our railroads
or a drive through the country along
the public roads and You will pass farm
houses where there are to be seen from
half a dozen to forty or fifty bales of
cotton lying out in the yard with no
cover whatever ver them. They are
not even piled up so that the top layer
of bales could afford some protection
to those beneath; but are all spread
on the ground n layer deep so
that they can catch all the rain and
other moisture possible. Some say that
cotton is packed so tight that it really
can absorb very little moisture. That
may be true, but all men who have
had experience in selling wet cotton
know that it is locked heavily and that
the mills do not care to handle this kind
and will not do SO when they can get
that which has been kept dry and we'll
protected from the weather. We really
do not understand why the cotton far
mers who are holding the produce for
better prices are not willing to make
some slight effort to take care of their
farm product and protect it from the
weather as to make it bring the best
prices when put on the market-It
would AXE small expense Ink little
trouble to house or ever to v over
h few cotton bales that each farmer
in this section of the country is holding
for better prices, yet n sees % Of
them treating it in a calculated
to deteriorate its quality and reduce it's
value through care1essness-or worse,
~laziness.

EASTER.
laZineSS

Easter this yea comes rather late
April 23rd-anG the almanac makers tel
us TINS will not occur again until 1913.
Some contend that ibis calculation is
wrong and that Easter should fall this
year on March &c. The Greensboro
Record says that strictly calculating,
this may he true, but uniformity must
be held, estimating for the difference
in tine III various parts of the coua-
try. I'm other WoTdS,' lit says, lin this
latitude, basing h calculations on the
first full moon after the 22nd of March,
Easter will come on March 26th but 1t
will not hit in very many other places
auO SO we ore set back in order to be
in line. There was great contention
over his question some years ago when
tie late DIR. Craven o the ground
that the date was wrong and from his
standpoint he was right There is al
Ways more or less dispute about The
dane of Observation-Disclosures Chronicle.
We do not claim to be authority on
church matters whether as to doctrines,
history or calculating the time for the
movable feasts, but We are inclined to
think tina both h Chronicle and The
Record are little off lin what they say
in the article above quoted.
AS to their being always more or
less dispute about the date of Easter
such dispute can arise only on are
occasions, as happens this yea and aiso
at the time referred ITO by The Record
as occurring some years ago when DR..
Craven tried to prove ito h churches
which observed the festival that they
lac made a mistake and located it just
tWenty-eight days later than ut really
should have been. These occasions
arise only when the full moon OCCUR
ing on or next after the 21st Of March"
comes so near being twenty-eight days
after hat date that in some sections
of the world it is after that time n
in others it is before, so in the former
case the preceding full moon would be
the one t. go by and in the latter the
one just before the end of the twenty
eighth day. But in order that there
should be uniformity I'm the time for ob-
serving Easter and that there should
not be an observance in some localities
twenty-eight days sooner than in others
because of the difference in local time
of the fuling of the moon all Chris
tan churches which observe Easter,
except perhaps the Greek, use Green
wich time for determining when ar
rives the 18th day of the moon current
March 21st. Easter is that Sunday
which follows the fourteenth day of
the calendar moor which fulls upon or
The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1905-03-07

next after the 21st of March, according
to Greenwich time. So it can be seen
that apparent dispute as to the time
when Easter ome can arise only when
full moon so near THE divid-
inng line as to ba ON one side of it in
some sections Of the world and ON h
other side Of it il other localities. But
really no such dispute can arise because
of the action of the churches in adopt
ing one standard Of time or rather one
locality for determining the exact time
Of the fulling of the moon.
Matters pertaining ito churches and
their ~observances are subjects ON which
we have had little experience in writ
ing and we may not have made clear
the point We wished to develop but we
hope our readers can understand what
we have tried to explain.
