T. y. Hutchinson. a cotton me-
chant favors the Smith substitute.
The Smith substitute. as | under
stand it, seeks to force the New YORK
Exchange, under penalty of a heavy
tax to use the New Orleans contract.
The New Orleans contract is much
fairer. Without going into details.
if a man buys a cotton contract in
New Orleans. he need not fear to az
cept delivery on it. He will get cot
ton that can be use.
Sees Many Evils.
But if he accepts delivery in New
York he is likely to get dog-tail cot
ton that no one could use for ordi-
nary purposes, and the money he will
get as supposed settlement will be
entirely inadequate.
New orleans enforces delivery I'M
der Government standards. and il
cheaper grades are delivered, the lic-
ference is fairly made up in cash.
The Clarke amendment would de-
stroy the hedge markets There are
many phases to the evils this would
cause, many Of them hard to explain.
But suppose, for instance. that a
spinner makes deal to deliver yarns.
II is September, and the yarns are ret
to be made until January. Must he
be forced to tie up several thousands
OF dollars in actual cotton from now

ALFALFA MOST VALUABLE CROP.
Per Acre Value Five Times More
Than Ciover-Some Wisconsin
Census Figures Which Talk
for Themselves.

According to the 1910 census Of the
hay crop, the state of Wisconsin grew
$4,000 acres of alfalfa, which averaged
2.8 tons per acre for the entire state,
and the average acre value Of the
crop was s31.00. During the same
year the combined acreage Of timothy
and clover averaged 1.6 tons per acre,
valued at $14.00. 1t costs no more to
grow an acre Of alfalfa than it does
to grow an acre Of timothy or clover.
The average cost Of growing an acre
of clover or timothy is approximately
$1,000. Thus the farmer would clear
s4.00 per acre in growing these crops.
whereas if he grew alfalfa he would
make a profit of $21.00 per acre, or

A Mans Bargain.

If l cry out for fellowship,
A comrades voice, a comrade's e
grip,
An ear to heed my groan,
Renew that hours dark ecstasy
When all thy waves went over me
And thou and I, with none to see,
Were joined in fight alone.
If demand sheltered space
Set for me in the battle place,
Where at times could turn my face
A screened and welcome guest,
Decree my soul should henceforth cease
From it's wild hankering after peace
And rest in that which gives release
From the desire of rest.
If for final goal should ask,
Some r;pered field that yet may
bask
Secure from hurricane,
Point to thy locust eaten sheaves.
The burlt OFT stars, the still born leaves,
And by the toll no hore retrieves
Nerve me to TIL again.
