Encourages Civic Improvement.
The league is doing much to encOur-
age cities In the Improvement Of their
appearance. The city BeautifuW idea
Is now sweeping over the country.
Many cities are spending millions Of
dollars IN this work, the most notable
example being Chicago, which has q
plan under way which materially
part OF the city. Des MOines, from
dirty, iu-arranged town, now has be-
come one of the show places Of the mid
die west. The new civic center formed
by grouping public buildings on both
sides Of the Des MOines river is regard
ed as the finest effect Of its kind in any
American city.
The league Is active in its encourage
ment OF a movement against the DOllu-
ton OF the waters in public streams
and against the billboard nuisance in
large cities. It has done much to for
ward the work Of anti-uOise and anti
smoke crusades. 1t Is quick to call at

the health and comfort and attractive
ness Of any municipality. The question
Of garbage collection and destruction is
one of the matters which Nas been
much discussed. The member Of the
league in attendance at the Atlanta

city. Garbage is collected by a series
Of cars which are run by power fur

garbage In this way the heat Of the

value in the city's work.

President of Farmers Union
Not Yet Informed of Details

President Charles S. Barrett Of the

a statement relative to the report from
New York that banking interests had
agreed to finance a cotton holding move
ment to the extent of s5O.OO0,OO0. He said:

conference which it is said looks to the

plan which must necessarily affect sew
eral hundred thousand farmers only by
newspaper reports and not In the intri-
cate details essential to so tremendous a
movement 1t would therefore be I'M
just to all concerned to express definite
opinion in advance of full information"
Mr.. Barrett stated that reports show
that cotton Is being held and will be
held. He said he was just in receipt of q
letter from c. e. Howard, secretary of
the Southeastern Cotton Buyers associa-
ton, saying, Farmers are now holding

to this time have not contained enougi
nitrogen to insure the best results. This
is shown by the fact that side applica-

the rusting and shedding of cotton. o.
course we must not depend on the nj
trate to do all the work OF this charactei
for us as IT is an expensive form of plant
food, but every farmer for the sake
of economy and the building up of his
land must begin the practice of crop

purchased and applied, and on soils
which are in very bad physical condi-

Occasionally, pasturing on green sor-
ghum results in the death of one OF
more animals; death generally comes
very quickly and has in many instances
been attributed to bloating which some
times follows when animals are turned
off a relatively dry pasture on to one
very green and succulent and they over
eat Most of the deaths from grazing
on sorghum, however, are now believ-
ed to be due to the formation of prussic
acid in the plants. This is a most dead
ly poison and has been found in over
200 species OF plants. Poisoning from
this source, however, is not common in
the eastern states, being much more pre-
valent west of the Mississippi than east
of IT. It has been shown by investiga-
tions at the Nebraska experiment sta
ton that when sorghum and kafir corn
are stunted by drouth for long periods
that prussic acid may develop in suffi-
cient quantity to bring death to cattle
grazing on it. Normal plants are en-

pounds of nitrate per acre, part of it to
be put ON just after the wheat has start
