MARKETING Of COTTON CROP
Committee Appointed BY Texas coehon
Growers Association Makes
tIcaf Suggestions.

- -
At the recent meeting Of the Farm
ers' congress at College Station, a ON
mittee was appointed by the Te1aa
Cotton Growers association was apr
pointed to study and make o
mendations as to what was best to ha
done relative to the crop this year.
says Co-Operator. This committees
met in Dallas and discussed cotton
growing, ginning, hauling, baling and
marketing, and with the view max
there might be system and co-opera-
ton in marketing Issued ufT-s their
signatures the following RsS$--iendar
lions to the public:
To the Cotton Planters Of Texas and
the Entire South: We your commit-
tee on best methods Of handling and
marketing the cotton crop, beg now
to recommend:
/. That with the present prospects
Of a short crop, no cotton be sold at
less than Is cents per pound, middling
basis, interior common points, and
that the same be marketed at q rata
of not more than ten per cent per
month.
2. That we urge upon all the great
Importance Of Investigations az the
greatest factor that will enable the
planter to control his cotton by living
at home, and to that end we urge the
planters to avail themselves OF the
education advantages of all demon
stration work carried on by the govs
eminent.
8. That we indorse the idea OF ms
king cotton grading a part OF our pub
lie school curriculum, more especially
in the rural districts, and appeal to-
our state legislature to make provision
therefor.
4. We urge the proper warehousfng
and care of cotton, to the end that II
will become a safe and ready collateral
and urge the hearty cooperation OF
bankers and financiers in assisting
the planter to hold his cotton when 30
desired, by making liberal advances
on same.
5. We deplore the slovenly manner
in which the present square bale, as q
rule, Is prepared and sent to marhet
and the, gross extravaganza In and
careless handling of same from the
ginner to the spinner, entailing need
less time and expense in shipping.
accomplishing, etc, and recommend
some package acceptable to the trade
that can be compressed at the gin and
go direct and rapidly, from the gin
to the mill or the ships side.
6. We finally urge the planters TO
cover their cotton entirely with heavy
bagging and keep same under shelter
either on the farm at the gin or I
the cotton yard, In order to prevent
country damage, waste, etc. q
We realize the consummation OF
the above suggestions to a large ex
tent depends upon the widest public
ity and we therefore request the press
Of the south at large to give space TO-
same, and to u bankers, merchants
business men generally and brother
farmers to give US their ablest counsel
and cooperation In the common Cause
of educating and upbuilding the agrt7s
cultural classes, the bulwark OF our
national prosperity. Respectfully snh-
mitted. 80

A Queer Thing About July.

How we came to pronounce July as
we do now with the accent on the sec
Ond syllable is one of the unsolved
mysteries of speech. Named, of course,
after julius Caesar. it should really be
pronounced to rhyme with duly" and
SO our forefathers actually did pro-
nounce it. Spenser, for instance, has
the line, Then came hot July boyling
like to fire." and even so late as John
sons time the accent was still on the
"Ju.' 1t is one of many words which
would startle those ancestors of ours,
spoken as we speak them now-Lon-
don Chronicle.

..use Less Fire. More Sense

DIR. Seaman A. Knapp never
gave better advice to Southern farm
ers than in the aphorism: Use
less fire and more sense in dealing
with your fields in springtime.'
In view of the fact that the very
greatest need of our Southern soil is
humus, and the most costly, of all
f%ertilizing elements is nitrogen, it is
positively sickening to see farmer
after farmer burning trash, corn
stalks, ETC., which would supply
this humus and nitrogen. Nature
is seeking to restore soil fertility by
putting back this rotting vegetable
matter; foolish man defeats her
efforts.-Progressive Farmer

CLIMATE AND LEGISLATION.

If the nations capital were located
in some northern city would it pro.
mote efficiency in legislation or en-
courage loOseness? The inquiry is
de, but not unnatural. The extreme
heat of the ordinary late spring and
early summer in Washington is rec
ognized as a deterrent against pro-
longed sessions of congress. About
this time of the year whenever con-
gress IS meeting the minds of repre-
sentatives and senators begin to turn
toward adjournment day There is lit
tie inclination to stay around till
June or July. Last year, when it be-
came necessary to continue the work
until August, it was positively ip-
pressive if not actually dangerous to
health.
Senator Aldrich believes that the
present session may be ready to close
by May Is. If he wants congress to
adjourn on that date, st ii safe to say
it will do SO. So his prediction is
worth some attention. 1t is evil
evident, however, that if congress is
ready to drop work by that date it
must either hasten through a mass Of
important pending legis' alton in a
disastrous eleventh hour rush, or leave
unfinished business that ought to re-
ceive attention. Congress has been in
session practically four months; Mr.
Aldrich says it may adjourn in less
than six weeks more. The sessions
