treated fairly, or we will take the
crop and lock 1t up and mold IL

America is in good position TO
dictate to the rest of the world the
disposition of the cotton crop, for
the United States raises in the cot.
ton belt five sixths of the worlds
supplies. The demand OF the world
is increasing at the rate of 400. 900
bales annually, and Mr.. Calvin of
Texas, assured the convention that
ne had figures to prove that the
available cotton area of the United
states was enough to keep ahead of
the worlds demand for years to
come. He pointed out that in
Texas alone there were 6,ooo, 900
acres more. With intensive meth

A most curious. ugly and ungainly
semi-aQuatic creature is that which is
known by the common name of mud
devil or hellbender. The mud devil
has neither the spiked TAIL the horned
head nor the cloven hoofs that are sup
posed to be the distinguishing marks
Of the evil one. but he IS hideous
enough to suggest all sorts of horriG
dreams and Nightmares. and on that
account has been made more repulsive
by the bestowal of his uneuphonious
common name. He is not poisonous In
any way, has no horns or sting, but Is
simply q mud devil because he is re-
pulsively ugly. In general appearance
his distorted and wart covered body is
not exactly unlike that of a gigantic
tadpole. His average. length IS about
eighteen inches, but occasional we'll fed
individuals may exceed even two feet
from tip TO tip. He has broad. fiat
head and sharp. sawlike fin running
from the middle of the back TO the tail.
