COTTON RATES WILL BE PRoBED
Important Hearing Scheduled by In
terstate Commerce Commission.

A Washington dispatch says that
two Of the most important cases re-
specting the shipment and compress
sion Of cotton that ever have been
brought before the interstate com
merce commission have been assign
ed for hearing at Montgomery, Ala,
beginning on March 3, and at At
lanta, Ga, beginning on March 6.
The cases are those of the Com
mercial and Industrial Association
of Union Springs, Ala, against the
Central Of Georgia railroad and 9TH
er carriers, and the Railroad Com
sion of Alabama against the Cen
trail Of Georgia railway and others.
Both cases affect the rates on the
shipment Of cotton from every part
of the cotton belt in the south, not
only to points of compression but to
ultimate destinations in this coun-
try and in Europe. The complaint
in the first case alleges unjust dis
elimination against cotton buyers,
cotton merchants and cOmpressOrs,
and the second AYERS that the rail-
roads invoke unreasonable and dis
criminatoTy regulations respecting
the transportation and compression
Of cotton. Not only every cotton
planter and every cotton buyer, but
every railroad in the cotton belt is
interested directly in the adjudica-
ton of the sases.

Every year brings to US new and
more practical methods of dealing
with the enemies of cotton, but in
all such discussions we cannot fail
10 observe that the burden of the
message is to diversity, to intensity,
breed early crops, and learn to live
in the face Of difficulties These
terms have been used so much that
they have lost much of their force.
and fear they have very little mean
ing. Perhaps it would be better if
we could hear more Of how to inten-
sify, or how to diversity. This is
the method or the tactics | am going
TO use in the present series of ar
ticles.
One law I would attempt to lay
down at the outset is that we must
make a close study of varieties of
cotton in order to be able to decide
which is the earliest and best yield
ing in our particular community,
and under our peculiar conditions
seYerally. Our motto will be try
them all, and hold fast to that which
is good. Another suggestion is,
begin to approach the merchants on
the question of making markets for
homegrown forage crops and grain.
This can and must be done. A mer-
chant in southeast Georgia town
told me that he handled eighty-four
tons of hay in 1910, and seventy
seven came Indiana, Ohio and Hi

KEEP MEAT IN HOT WEATHER
Lumpkin Man Tells of Successful
Plan He Has Pursued for Sew
ePal Years,

Hon. Mark Everette of Lumpkin,
who is well known to many readers
of The News throughout this Sec
ton, tells the Atlanta Constitution
how to preserve meat even in warm
weather. All of the pork raisers
would do we'll to read what he has
to say. His letter to the Constitu-
lions is as follows:
Il notice from news reports in
the Constitution that the farmers Of
south Georgia are expressing fear
that the continued warm weather
will prevent their killing any more
hogs this year.
Il have for several years pursued
a plan in killing my pigs that ena-
bles to do so in warm weather as
well as during a cold snap. The
method is as follows:
Il prepared wooden box 6 feet
by 4 feet wide, and about 4 feet
high. l then had made a tin box of
a size six inches smaller all the way
around than the wooden box.
Il then put thick layer of cotton
seed hulls on the bottom of the
wooden box and along the sides,
packing ice between the hulls and
the tin box, and using liberal
amount of coarse salt. 1t took only
200 pounds of ice to answer this
purpose, and this amount has never
failed to last from a week to ten
days, even in the warmest of wealth
er. Particular care, however, must
be exercised in packing hulls tightly
around the ice and in the crevices
between the chunks.
Il then kill my hogs in the morn
ing and have them sailed down by
noon. While it is warm the salt
will stick better. When night comes
l spread the meat, and the next
morning pack it in the tin box.
Il have done this for some time
now, and have yet to lose a single
piece of meat. Last winter, in the
warm weather, l killed several hogs
that averaged over ESQ pounds.
1T may be that the publication
Of this account of my experiences
in curing my meat will be of assist
anCe to other farmers who are now
at a loss what to do on account of
the warm weather"

DOUBLE THE COTTON CROP

nOis, while seven were bought local
ly. When asked if he would be will
ing to purchase more locally he i'm
patiently replied: Yes, if the farm
ers would raise it; but they do not
seem to care to try to raise anything
but cotton" Just how many mer-
chants there are in the state of GeOr-
gia like that l would not pretend to
try to guess, but farmers can make
many more of them if they begin to
make hay
We can easily double our present
yield Of cotton on the same acreage,
if We make or create the proper con-
ditiOns for its growth But grant
that we did not care to more than
equal the present crop for many
years to come. Then We should be-
gin now to reduce the acreage and
increase the yield per acre, and clear
some money on every pound we do
make. A certain mountaineer was
asking his neighbor when he plant
ed corn. We'll, about the third
week in June was the reply. The
question was asked at once: why
do you plant so late? Do you think
it pays to plant that late?'' well,
you save three plowings and a darn
lot of gathering was the drawn
out reply. Perhaps we do feel that
way sometime, but such a feeling
is sometimes accompanied with a
pretty bad case of the hook worm.

ATLANTA.-Opmion varies here
regarding the plot alleged to have

two men to inoculate the, cotton

Or. E. H. Stockbridge, editor of
The Southern Ruralist, doesn't place

without the cotton boil to feed on.
Gov.-elect Smiths informant stated
that the two men claimed to have
100000 live weevils ready for dis

Lander, Wyo.-On the Wind River
reservation the Shoshone and Arapa
hoe Indians are in open revolt. They
are on the verge of starvation and the
cold weather of the past week has
added to their misery.
1t is predicted that the Arapahoes
at least will not long remain within
bounds.
The Shoshones are timid and non
combative, but the Arapahoes. who
are In the majority. are fighting men.
and they will not endure seeing their
squaws and children hungry. They
say that sooner than starve they will
go out onto the grazing lands of the
reservation and kill cattle and sheep
belonging to white men.
The Indians have the sympathy of
the white people of Fremont county
who know their pitiable condition.
A thumb mark" petition is now
signed by the heads of families of
both tribes demanding that H. E.
Wadsworth, the agent, be removed.
and another agent appointed to con-
duct the affairs of the tribes.
The government has just finished
spending an appropriation of $600.O00

Every member of the combined
Council of the tribes has signed the
thumb mark" petition to oust Wads-
worth.
The Shoshone members of the Coun-
Gil are Joe Lajeunesse. John Tinban-
ma, Cable Rogers and George Washa-
kie.
The Arapahoes are represented by
Yellow Calf, Lone Bear, William
Shakespeare, Henry Lee Tails and
Little Shield.
The thumb mark petition will be
the strongest document of the kind
ever presented to the Interior Depart
ment. In addition to the name of each
Indian it will contain an imprint of
his thumb.
