COTTON MARKETS

New York, June 6.-The cotton
market opened barely steady at de-
cline of l to points in response to
lower Liverpool cables than expected,
and during the early trading active
positions held off to a net loss of to
II points under scattering liquidation,
and local pressure inspired by reports
of scattering showers in the eastern
belt, including some moisture in the
Carolinas. The western belt forecast
for generally fair weather checked
the offerings, however, and the market
steadied 2 or 3 points from the lowest
during the middle of the morning IN
covering and moderate support from
trade interests.
The weekly report of the weather
bureau proved quite as bullish as ex-
pected, and the market later became
more active and firmer on covering
and fresh outside buying with the new
crop selling about 13 to Is points net
higher. The old crop was relatively
quiet, but ruled about unchanged to
4 points higher.
Trading continued very quiet dur
ing the late forenoon with prices rul-
ing about to points under the
closing figures of yesterday

New Orleans, La, June 6-Cottor
opened quiet at a decline of to &
points on poor cables and showers in
the eastern half of the cotton belt
In spite of the advantage given the
bear side no great amount of selling
was done and the market had a very
steady undertone. A moderate de-
1nand for long account sprung up or
the decline and was sufficient to sup
port the market At the lowest in the
early trading prices were to
points down. AT the end of the first
half hour of business they were two
points up to three points down, com
pared with yesterdays final quota

The market was inactive until il
O'Clock, when the weekly weather re-
ports were read to the ring They
were called exceedingly bullish MS
they stated that practically all parts
of the cotton belt were experiencing
too much dry weather and too high
temperatures. Trading quickened and
on buying for both accounts the old
crops were put 2 points over yester-
days close and the new crops were
put 3 to a over. At noon the amrket
was quiet but steady at the highest

COTTON is BLOOMING In
The FIELDS In SUMTER
Recent Rain Has RGiuVGndtGd
the King

From his fine farm of 700 acres
near lAmericus, for which, it is said,
he could easily get $4,000 if he de-
sired to sell, Mr.. ]. w. Howard sent
The Times-Recorder yesterday bou-
ouet of white cotton blooms, which,
while not the first sent in by one day,
are very early for the season.
Mr. Howard believed his blooms the
first ones, but his energetic young
neighbor, Griffith Eldridge bore off
that honor one day in advance.
But both these farmers have plenty
of blooms in their fields.
Mr.. Howard has three hundred
acres in cotton and it is the admira-
tjul of all passers by. He purchased
some time ago the former Bird plan
tation and by energetic effort and
thorough cultivation has brought it
up to the point where it is considered
one of the finest farms in Sumter.
Now that the first blooms have been
disposed of the cotton trade awaits
the appearance of the first bale and
opening of the busy fall season.

Who WOULD SUCCEED
IF POPE SHOULD Die?
RanpOIIa Picked as the Fa.
VOFite

Rome, June 6.-The Pope is not
granting audiences, ostensibly for
the reason that Italy is celebrating tho
jubilee of the lillian occupation 81
Rome. The real reason is said to be
that he is weak and depressed and
has not yet recovered from the ef-
fects of his last attack of govt. The
Pope's physicians have ordered him
to take a prolonged rest
AS a result of the prevalence of
disquieting reports in regard to the
condition of the Pope's health, the
possibility of conclaye in the near
future is discussed, but there is not
the slightest sign of canvassing or in
trigue among the cardinals for the
chair of St. Peter. Nevertheless prog
nostications as to the possible sue
cessor Of Pope Plus X are being
made.
Cardinal Rampolla is considered to
be almost certain of thirty votes from
among the siXty-two who voted for
him at the last conclave, when Aus
tria's veto prevented his election. AL
though the cardinals objected to the
use of this veto power, it practically
eliminated the then Papal Secretary of
State, and eventually his vote dropped
to ten.
Thirty-one cardinals are still liv
ing who were at the last conclave.
The Sacred College now has only 40
members, % Italians and q foreign
ers. If the conclave should be held
this year or next not all of these 40
would be able to participate. Some
are old and infirm. Oreglia is SO
and bedridden. Gruscha is 81 and
Capicelatro 88. 1t is therefore proba-
BILE that not more than 40 or As will
enter the conclaye
1t may be assumed that the cardi-
mails who voted TO rRampolla at the
last conclave will again support him,
while it is well known that many of
his former adversaries are now his
supporters. The Pope himself is re-
ported to have said that he felt his
successor should be Leo XIV, thus
clearly designating Rampolla, whose
policy would have been a continual
ton of Leo XIII.
There will be no mention of a veto
at the next conclave. One of the
first acts of Pope Plus X. was the
PRONUNCIATION of a constitution abol-
ishing it, and prohibiting cardinals
under pain of accommodation from
receiving even in the form simple
desire any demand for their good Of
fees in presenting a veto, or making
it known in the conclave regardless
of whatever manner it may have come
to their knowledge.

TO PREVENT WAsTEFULNEss.

Democratic leaders in the house OF
Representatives are planning 70 give
a great deal of attention during this
session of Congress to the appropria-
ton bills. It is by demons rating
their ability to spend Uncle Sam S
money wisely that the Democrats
hope TO establish their claim for
greater recognition next year, and ii
there is one thing upon which there
is no division of opinion among the
House majOry leaders, i Is the de-
termination to make the coming ses-
sion memorable for lis business like
administration of the vas govern
ment machinery.
That the Republican cabinet men,
bers realize that there will be no
chance for unmerlted expenditures
is indicated by the fact that the
greatest care is being given TO the
preparation OF estimates. The inter
ior department will ask for a million
and a haf less than was called for
last year. The navy department, it
is announced, will ask for two mil
lions less, and similar savings will be
in o1her departments. This
saving is i'm the estimates alone, and
by the time the Appropriations COM
mittee gets through with lis pruning
work the probabilities are that the
saving will be still further increased,
while the efficiency of the govern
nent business will no. be decreased
in The slightest degree.

MIXED FARMING.

If there is any one thing that seems
to point to brighter future in Kansas
agriculture more than any ofher, i
lies in the fact that our FARMERS are
recovering from their wheat mad
neSs"-their single crop system of
farming-and are studying and prac-
ticing rotation more and more each
year.
The farmer who puts all his eggs
in one basket by continuous wheat
cropping, is compelled himself to
labor very hard for a short period Of
the yeT and loaf for the balance.
He is not able 10 occupy hrs full time
and energies in his business. and this
causes distinct and heavy loss. Then,
if the season should prove unfaror-
able, he has nothing 10 fall back up
on, as he would have in diversified
farming, and he suffers or gets out
of the game.
If the season IS only partly favor
able and his grain sprouts in the
shock or lis qualify IS otherwise in
Iured, he can perhaps, get a good
price for the sound wheat, but what
shall he do with that WHICH is injured
1t might be valuable for feed, but to
what can 1t be fed? lie has no live
stock except his work teams, and
feeding does not en'er INFO his scheme
Of things
Perhaps the worst feature of the
whole single cropping system is that
The grain farmer is, each year. haul
ing away his farm by the wagondoad
and selling it by The busheA. No soil
can stand constant cropping with no
enrichment, and the wheat farmer
and this applies 10 the corn farmer
has nothing with which TO manure
his soil, and he is using up his capita
because his system compels him 10
do so.
The grain farmer has only one mar
ket, and upon It's fluctuations win de-
pend his welfare. The man who dr.
yersfieS his operations has several
markets upon which 70 depend and
the chance Of having money comm
lin at different lines Of the year in
stead Of all in a lump. If he keeps
live stock he enricheS his soil each
year, but If he does not and sill prac
tice miXedfarming he does not wear
out his land so rapidly as does the
grain farmer. The mixed" farmer
has within reach various avenues Of
revenue and various options as 10 the
disposal of his crops. This gives him
the advantage of the market, and not
the market of him.
With alfalfa, milo maize and SPAN
ISL peanuts, the Western Kansas far
mer has advantages possessed by NO
other farmer similarly located, and
these, used in rotation with his wheat
crop. wild permit him to make dollars
