AS rule, the long staple upland cot
tons do not yield as we'll as the short
er staple varieties, but much improve
ment in this direction has been effect
ed by a number of breeders in the past
few years. We have been working
along this line on the college farm with
what we term our Sunbeam cotton
which runs from 80 to 43 per cent OF
lint, and produces an unusually long,
strong and fine staple. The idea that
length and strength of staple can not
be secured in upland has now been pref
~ we'll exploded. of course, to do this
requires a proper correlation of various
factors in plant breeding, and one rea-
son. why so little progress has been
made in this direction in the past is due
TO the lack of knowledge of trae funda-
mental principles on Nhe part of many
who attempt to breed cotton. In my
judgment much improvement in this
direction will be made in the next few
years, and a number of varieties with
increased length of staple will be pro-
duced for cultivation on upland soils.
In choosing an upland cotton for length
Of staple, however. one should be gov
erned by the record the crop has made
under a variety Of conditions, and
should be sure the characteristics
claimed for IT have been properly en-
grated and do not represent the opin-
ION of the improver alone, who may
make too strosg claims for qualities
which have not been thoroughly estab-
lished.

TRAINMEN OF Southeast

Employees of Twenty Railroads

Wage Increase
Especial Dispatch to The. Journai.l

fSpeCldl dispatch " An6a JOuTUdl.l
MACON, Ca, Aug. 13.-A strike vote
is being taken among the conductors,
trainmen and yardmen of the railroads in
the southeastern system which includes
all the lines south of the Ohio and
east Of the Mississippilriver. in determi-
nation of having their wages increased
and better working conditions among
the numerous lines. -.4
The vote now being taken will he sent
to the general managers committee in
Washington, D. c., within the next two
weeks and if the demands of the rail-
road employees are not granted or a COM
promise made, il is probable that a strike
will follow that will affect the entire
southeastern system, which includes 20
different railroad companies.
w. NJ Hamilton, Of the Central of
Georgia, and II. A. Fox, representative
of the Georgia Southern and Florida,
are the two representatives of the Ma
con lines. They declare that time will
be given the managers committee to
decide on their grievances and if some
favorable conditions are not granted,
a strike will likely follow.
T. S. Noise, general manager of the
Central, has mailed a circular letter to
every employee of the road that will be
affected il a strike is called, asking
them to use care and caution before
making too broad step. The chairman,
H. Baker. of the general managers COM
~mittee, has issued letters to the differ
ent employees which contains statements
declaring that the men are now receiv-
ing 1.-The highest wages in the world, .
and if the railroad companies were to
grant requests made of them, they
would soon be bankrupt. The local en-
ployes of the, different lines are working
among themselves but refuse to divulge
but little information as to what they
will do. --1@

nave COW mat mas been down two
weeks. Her calf is four weeks old. She
can get up on her fore feet but not on
her hind feet She eats heartily and
seems to be all right every other way
Can you tell me what to do for her?
1t is probable that your COW is suf-
fering from some injury received at
the time of parturition. and the chances
are that she will regain her normal
health in the course of time. Rubbing
the affected part with a stimulating lin
iment, and giving tincture or nux vom-
lea in twenty to thirty dram doses
three times daily until the muscles be-
gin to twitch is the best treatment
which can be suggested. good lini-
ment may be made by dissolving one
half ounce of gum camphor in eight
ounces of alcohol, adding one dram of
oil of sassafras and eight ounces of
concentrated aqua ammonia. Keep in
a bottle with a glass or rubber stop
per. This is an excellent liniment but
it will blister II used too freely and
this is an important matter to bear in
mind. You should examine the feed
your COW is receiving. and be certain
that ii is wholesome in all respects.
If you are feding cotton seed meal or
other concentrated materials cut them
out for a few days and give bran
mashes. Any stimulating food will be
desirable at this time, especially where
the digestion seems to be impaired.

J. c. YOUNG, THEIR REPRESENTA-.

SAYS BOWS, REED, ct Al,
WILL HELP WHEN ORGANIZED
Young For the viaduet-Aids Commit
tee in Formulating Plans For Pro-
cedure in Preparation For Hearing
Before Commission June 1o-com-
mittee Considering Several Plans.

j. c. Young. Of Cedar Rapids, who
has been representing here the Cedar
Rapids men who were voted public
utility franchises, met in a conference
with the viaduct committee of the
Marshaltowr Club Wednesday even
ing. The conference was for the pur-
pose of outlining plan of procedure to
overcome the objections of the North
western and NJ. & St. L. that the VIA
duct on South Third avenue would in
crease the hazard to traffic over the
Chicago Great Western crossing.
Mr.. Young is an engineer, and as
such he was able to aid the commit
tee with data ard how to obtain it so
that the objection made by the two
railroads to the proposed viaduct site
might be overcome Two plans have
beer suggested One Of these is to
have the Chicago Great Western move
it's tracks to cross Third avenue at
Market street, and thus get 1t under
a viaduct Of the length proposed. An
other suggestion was that the grade OF
the intersection at Market and Thlro
avenue be raised to lessen the grade
from the end of via duct, at Market
street to the crossing of the Chicago
and Great Western tracks Both plans
are feasible, altho the difficulty with
the first one is that the Chicago west
err would probably object to moving
its tracks. a,tho if it did so the heavy
grades it has thru town would pc
greatly reduced.
So far Mr.. Young is acting only as
an individual in his connection with
the viaduct project. He is anxious that
it be built, and said as soon as the
Cedar Rapids men became organized
locally that their company or corpora
ton would take al active part OF the
movement to force the viaduct thru
Another meeting of the viaduct com
mittee will be held some time next
week when it is probable that course
Of procedure which the committee VIII
follow at the hearing before the COM
mission on June 10 will be adopted.
