Texas
Cotton Exhibition

GALVESTON-To some there may
have come an idea that there are varie-
ties of cotton, but is safe to say that the
average southerner who has not been &C
lively engaged in the cotton trade will be
absolutely amazed when at the Galveston
cotton carnival he sees in orderly rows
down the length of the cotton palace case
after case filled with varieties OF cotton,
both domestic and foreign, of whose ex-
istence he never dreamed. Each speci-
its full history with details that are of
greatest interest to the man who has
the least connection with the cotton in
dustry in any form.
From all over the world, Siberia, China,
Mexico, South America, Africa, Australia,
India, Hawaii the Philippines, the is
lands Of the Indian ocean, in fact, from
every world point where cotton is or has
been grown, will come either a bale, a
bag or package as the fiber was origin
ally put up by the native grower. With
out reservation, the management OF the
cotton carnival can say that never In the
history of the world has such a complete
collection OF all varieties of cotton been
placed before the public. The exhibit
has never been duplicated, and IT is
doubtful II ever any other organization
win go to the trouble and expense of
bringing from all points of the compass
these different specimens of the plant
whose product makes for the textile SUI
premacy of the south.

South Carolina
Beef Cattle in York

YORKVILLE.-Specia 1t is said that
home-raised beef cattle is scarcer In this
section at present than ever before with
in the memory of the oldest inhabitant
Several days during the past week neith-
er of the three local butchers had any
thing to offer in the way of fresh meat
1t is said that the trouble is due en-
tirely to the fact that practically no Ell
fort Is being made to raise beef cattle,
and that while il is a fact that there
are probably as many mich cows, per
femily, in York county as in any county
in the state, it is also a fact that all
calves are disposed OF at whatever price
is offered by those engaged in buying
and shipping them just as soon after
they are born as possible. The price paid
ranges from $50 to $3.50, and as re-
suit those who are in position to raise
them, do not, are, by reason Of their
desire to side-step a little extra work,
letting go for practically nothing that
for which If kept for not exceeding II
months they could get from SO to SIS.
Veal is rarely ever offered on the local
market for the simple reason that there
are few If any who would buy at any
price. 1t is quite likely that similar con-
ditions as to the disposition Of calves
prevail all over the state, and it would
be interesting, to say the least, to know
how. much money is being squandered
each year in this way.

Tennessee
Warninu on Flies

NASHVILLE.-ln special warning Is
sued with the regular weekly reports OF
the board of health, DR.. Max Goltman,
superintendent of the city health de-
partment, declares that the infant NOR
tality, which for the past several weeks
has been unusually high in Memphis,
can, in a great measure. be reduced If
the proper precautions are taken.
DR.. Goldman lays particular stress upon
the fact that the common house fly IL
largely responsible for the high infant
mortality rate. He says: Files contami-
nate the household, the food and the
drink and are greatly responsible for the
general mortality and especially for the
infant mortality"
Overlooking is also given as another
reason for the unusual number of deaths
among infants. In regard to this DR.. Colt
man says: TOO much food, undiluted
food, snacks, cakes and candies eaten
at any old time is also to blame. A child
should not be fed every time it cries; ii
may be crying because it is sick from
overlooking"
During the past week death claimed
II children between the ages of days
and years, and 10 between the 2 to g.
year stage. .

Eggs, Pork, Peaches

HOUSTON.-"There is practically a
new country east and north of Beau
mont" said Lon c. Hill, the horticul-
tural and agricultural agent of the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe, who spent Sat-
urday in Houston. IT remember going
into that country in 1902 and telling those
people that their land was not without
value simply because the pine trees had
been cut of 1t. 1 advised them to raise
peaches, and they did so, and now off of
this formerly worthless land they are
producing $40 per acre annually. This is
mighty good in view of the fact that
there are many thousand acres of such
land still awaiting some attention.
II went back to some of the men who
have planted orchards and said, Now you
have done mighty well with this land,
but there is no reason why you cannot
get another $50 per acre They wanted
to know how, and I suggested a thou
sand hens for every ten acres Of peaches,
and then suggested that COW peas be
planted, either the clays, the whip-poor-
Wills or the little black-eyes, anything
that would rehabilitate the soil. Chick
ems love shade and the peach trees would
furnish II. Hogs could be turned into
the peas, which could be mixed with oats,
and the land without being impoverished,
could be made to produce double what
IL does now"

Citrus Growers Congress

HOUSTON.-Last year the Texas Cit
rus Growers association, through the
work of its secretary, and Messrs. E. s.
Stockwell, of Alvin, and c. S. Canada,
of Tuleta, Tex, placed a very fine ex-
hibit of citrus fruits and other products
of the coast country at the National Hor-
ticultural congress, held at Council
Bluffs, Iowa, November 1929.
This year the congress will be held at
Council Bluffs again on November IA to
10. 1t will be larger and even more rep
resentative than last year, though last
year &c states had fine exhibits. The pre-
MUM list open for Texas coast products
will be more extensive, and the attention
paid to Texas will be greater even than
last year. Owing to the late frosts in the
northern states this yead the average
crop OF fruits is not greater than 80 per
cent and so the value OF an exhibit from
a section which never fails to have fine
fruits will serve to call attention in a
still more striking way to the Texas
coast country.

South Carolina BUILDINGS

CHARLESTON.-Tha South Carolina
is unusually well taken care Of in the
way of federal buildings is shown by
comparison with some of the figures
submitted by other sections of the
country to the committee on public
buildings and grounds, in the effort to
induce that committee to authorize ap-
preparations for buildings, while in
others there are towns in which the
postal receipts exceed those of any city
in South Carolina, and yet these towns
have no postoffice buildings. One of
the most remarkable instances 10 that
of the Fourteenth district OF Ohio,
which was once represented in the house
by James A. Garfield. The figures
on file at the postoffice department
here, which were used by the represen-
tative of that district in the effort TO
induce the committee to give him q
building, show the following receipts or
postal revenue during 1909 for the cities
mentioned: Ashland. sS4,530.02; Islyria,
s46,315.S7; Lorain, $42,764.S0; Norwalk,
s29.9o4.11; Shelby, s24,746.62; Bellevue,
s21. 981.47; Mount Vernon, S20,957-61;

Cotton Trade Circles

CHARLOTTE.-Mr. r. M. Mlller' Jr',
president of the Cotton Manufacturers
Association of North Carolina and for
mer president of the American Cotton
Manufacturers association, has just re-
turned from Boston, Mass, where last
Wednesday he attended meeting OF the
board of governors of the National AS
ISOLATION of Cotton Manufacturers OF
which he is a member.
Aside from a general discussion Oh
the situation and the selection OF Mar
ragansett Pier for the place OF the fali
meeting of the association, September ~,
Mr.. Miller states that little was done at
this meeting.
Mr.. Miller found the general sentiment
I'm cotton trade circles in Boston and
Philadelphia sanguine with belief that
better times were ahead and with de-
sire to assist in the return OF improv-
ed conditions, but in New York every
thing appeared to be still gloomy. Mr.
Miller is of the opinion, as well as 9TH
ers. that stocks in the hands Of the job
bers are small the bulk OF the goods
on hand being in the warehouses OF the
manufacturers If the Indications later
on are for a small crop or for an aver
age crop and not a large crop, then the
demand will pick UP right away. Other
wise some time will elapse before normal
conditions return. ...

Mississippi
Bio Carlton Meeting

JACKSON.-A conference was held here
IN the counting rooms Of the Merchants
Bank and Trust company between
Messrs. Rathbone, Owen and Turner
New York financiers and cotton dealers
and local bankers, cotton buyers and IN
surance men, regarding bills OF lading
of cotton consigned for foreign shipment.
The meeting was arranged at the In
stance of President W. NJ. Anderson, OF
the Merchants Bank and Trust company,
who invited the New Workers to visit this
city and confer with the interests con-
cerned The gentlemen are touring the
cotton belt for the purpose Of consolidat-
ing all cotton shipping interests as to a
plan for protecting foreign buyers
against fraud.
II Is believed that a plan can be
worked out whereby the insurance COM
panies will be able to protect foreign buy
ers against INSCRIPTIONS cotton dealers
who have brought the business into dis
credit in many instances.
Various plans have been suggested, and
the mission of the Fasteners Is to gather
data and familiarize themselves with To-
cal conditions so that when they report
back 10 New York they will be able to
present something definite and satisfac-
tory to all parties. They have recently
visited Memphis and left from here to
go TO New Orleans.
II is believed that by insuring Of bills
OF lading against fraud the insurance men
will see to II that such practices that
have prevailed in some instances In the
past do not occur again. The insurance
man will see that cotton is properly
shipped.

Louisiana
Bio Land Deal

JENA-A deed of much Importance
was filed with and recorded by Clerk of
Court ]. H. Bradford Wednesday. The
deed conveys the entire holdings of cut
over lands belonging to the louisiana
Central Lumber company, situated in the
parish of LaSalle, to James Gould and
Robert J. Edwards, the purchase price
being $4,000. This transaction is Of i'm
portance to the people of this section, be-
cause 1t sets at naught the idea that has
prevailed so long among the residents,
that the timber being removed the lands
were of no value. This land has been
subjected to soil survey and it was
proved that it contains the necessary
properties to make it fine for fruit and
vegetables. The property obtained by
Gould and Edwards in this transaction
will at once be brought into a state of
thorough cultivation by thrifty people,
who thoroughly understand the methods
of diversified farming and the cultivation
of grapes, figs and peaches. Other
transactions of similar nature are now
pending in this parish.

Alabama
Crops in Good Shape

MONTGOMERY.-The Advertiser
crop review IS as follows:
Nass:re seems 20 have gone into a
combine with the Alabama farmer during
the last week 10 produce the greatest
and best crops that have sprung from
the bosom OF the old state in many a
year.
Warm, growing rains. followed by hot.
dry weather. with plenty OF sunshine,
form the almost ideal conditions under
which the cotton crop has been growing
Practically the oaly danger to the crop
now, according 20 reports from every
section OF the state, IS that Of allowing
the grass 10 secure too great hold.
Because OF the wet fields, IL has been
impossible for many OF the planters TO do
any work In them. However, advantage
is taken OF every opportunity to get the
fields into good condition, and while the
crop is from. two to six weeks late, II Is
believed that IL soon will catch up TO
normal conditions
The surprise Of the season, however.
Is the condition as well as the acreage o.
the corn crop. In many sections, the
amount Of land planted in corn has
been Increased 10 and % per cent, while
in many OF these. the cotton acreage
has been reduced TO that extent. To the
popularity OF the Williamson method is
attributed this change, and il is declar-
ed BY many farmers that the crop of
corn this season will be great enough TO
Eupply the demand for the next two
years

Spartanburu Farms

SPARTANBURG.-W Harris, SUI
pervisor Of farm demonstration work in
Spartanburg county, has added a now
feature to his work. He has los dem
illustrators under his charge, and he is
taking a census of their families He
said this morning that already he has
found two families in which twins have
been born this summer. One family
has IL members and another IA. Among
the demonstrators there ara three old
bachelors. Mr.. Harris says that his
census will be completed by August Is,
but that his figures will not hold good
long, as the stork is usually pretty
busy during the fall in Srartanburg
county. Mr.. Harris has been pursuing
a very helpful course In connection with
his farm inspection work, and that has
been to take a list of farm tools Un-
necessarily exposed to the weather. He
has kept very careful list OF the farm
ers so exposing tools and the tools ex-
posed and sent this to the authorities at
Washington. This mov3 on the part of
Mr.. Harris has worked wonders In
Spartanburg county. Farmers are TAX
ing better care of their implements as
a result of Mr.. Harris report of their
negligence.

Cotton Mill Line

CHARLOTTE.-Cotton mills in South
Carolina, particularly those in the neigh
borhood of Greenville, Greer, Anderson,
Bolton and Spartanburg are SUBSCRIBING
literally toward the interurban trolley
line which the Greenville. Spartanburg
and Anderson Railway company-tne
South Carolina branch of the great inter-
urban trolley system that Is contemplat-
ed for this general section-is making
ready to construct from Greenville to
Bolton and Anderson to connect with
the Seaboard either at Greenwood or Ao-
beville and north to Greer and Spartan
burg.
The North Carolian end Of this great
interurban trolley system is comprehend
ed in the Piedmont Traction company, of
which Mr.. w S. Lee, Jr., of this city,
is president. The Observer mentioned
the fact several days ago that Mr.. j. P.
Clark, of Michigan, one of the leading
experts in the country, had been secured
as vice president and general manager
OF this system and that active operations
would commence as soon as the neces-
sary arrangements could be made.

Crops in York County

|. YORKV1LLE.-Wh1le there have been
no heavy downpours of rain in this i'm
mediate section since the first part OF
the week, still owing to light showers
up to Thursday comparatively little
ploughing has been done. and as result
crops generally are needing work; this
being especially true to corn, much
of it being almost too far advanced
to admit Of now being ploughed with
safety.
In many instances where corn was
planted on good land to be cultivated
on the Williamson plan the farmers, ow-
ing to continued rains, have been una
BILE to apply fertilizer according to the
plan, but Notwithstanding this fact the
plants are hardy and vigorous, and show
no signs of any effort having been made
to stunt them. While 1t is a fact that
cotton is much smaller than usual at this
season Of the year, still 1t has all been
hoed over and will, if weather conditions
permit Of ordinary cultivation, soon over
come the handicap under which it has
been laboring.

Wheat on Pine Lands

BUCKATUNNA.-The high price Of
flour last year caused some Of our peo-
pie TO try small paintings OF wheat. Elk
periments have shown that 1t grows nice
ly on these pine lands. The yield of q
field near here recently harvested was
25 bushels per acre. Some Of this wheat
was ground on a corn whitewater power
and made fine bread.
Crimson clover and alsike clover have
done well here this year, and our farm
ers are finding out they can raise prac-
tically all they need here in South Mis-
sissippi on these cheap pine lands. Corn
is the finest ever known In this section.
Cotton is small, but is beginning to look
very well.

Chester Corn Crop Fine

CHESTER.-Special: With laying by
time" only few weeks off Chester farm
ers are bending every energy to get the
crops clean. The heavy rains OF re-
cent weeks gave the grass a big start,
and the past few pretty days have seen
an immense amount Of work done with
the hoe.
The farmers are very optimistic over
the outlook for a crop, both cotton and
corn; and comparisons made with last
year are very much in favor of this year.
The corn crop from the present outlook
will be the finest that Chester county has
produced in many years, while the same
thing may be said of the grain, both oats
and wheat. An unusual amount Of wheat
was planted this year, and a good crop
has been made.
Some sections of the county have been
visited by hail storms, but with these ex-
ceptions, nothing has happened to injure
the crop more serious than the heavy
rains; and with favorable weather from
now on there will be a big crop.

Fruit Dropping in Prices

CHARLOTTE.-Farm Of the county
are complaining about the drop in prices
of fruits they are offering on the local
market Both peaches and apples
are being brought in large guam
titles, especially the former, 10 the
local market and the abundance
has brought about drop in prices. A
few days ago peaches were being sold
at 30 cents a peck and only about so cents
a bushel can now be received from house
keepers and produce stores. Apples are
in greater demand than peaches at the
present, perhaps, for the reason that tne
flavor Of the peaches has been hurt oy
the constant wet weather just at the
time they were ripening.
