almost unprecedented storm that swept
over dozen States in the last forty
eight hours and government prediction
OF more cold and snow. the shifting

to mitigate extensive crop damage

that greatest damage has resulted in

early corn are certain in some places.
Reports from the northwest Indicate
that barley. oats. rye and corn. We're
badly damaged by the cold. The soil.
however, still is In fine condition for
plowing, and it is not too late for
resctting. In Kansas Missouri and
Kentucky, it is possible to protect
small fruits and lessen the loss on
apples. Mississippi, Tennessee and
Arkansas reports shows that consid-
erable damage has been done by the
coolest April weather on record in
those States.
Information from Wisconsin and
Michigan indicate that the fruit crop
will not be much more than one-half
the usual size at a number of points.

TRYING to Curb Evil.

Washington. d. c.. April 2i.-Unless
abnormal speculation in cotton in the
United States is stopped and the bus
mess taken out of the hands of stock
gamblers, Americans will lose foreiSn
trade in that staple amounting TO mill
lions of dollars each year. Efforts
are now being made BY the government
to curb this evil, and upon their sue
cess largely will depend the future OF
American cotton abroeu.se
The abnormal increase In the price
OF cotton. caused by spectators in the
United States last year, heavily cur
tailed the imports of that product IN
foreign countries. In Russia alone
the falling off of imports of American
cotton amounted to nearly one-hah pr
those of the previous year, when al
most s50.0o0,00o worth of American
cotton was imported into that country.
Russia in 1908 required S1a5.ooo,oOo
worth of cotton, of which almost one
half was imported. tiye-siNth of which
came from the United States.
OF the American cotton used III Rus
tsia in 1908, about one-third was
bought through German and English
commission houses, The American
product in this way is bought and sold
several times before it finally reaches
Its destination, and therefore. even
under ordinary conditions. the price OF
the raw product has reached abnormal
proportions by the time II is deliv-3
cred at the textile centres of Russia.
Russian manufacturers assert, With
out qualification. that ii they We're
able to buy at reasonable figures they
would consume S100,00o.000 worth ot
American cotton each year.
