COTTON ACREAGE
MONTH OF JUNE
Special Investigation of Department of
Agriculture Showed Preliminary Es-
innate Not Far From Correct.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, May 19.-The area
planted to cotton in the United States
last year and which was under cult
yation at the end Of June, was 500 900
acres more than the department Of
agriculture estimated in it's prelimi-
nary report in July. A special inves-
tigation was made by the department
and, with the assistance of the census
bureaus report on the quantity of cot
ton ginned, it reached the conclusion
that the area planted was 34,766, 900
acres instead of 34,O97,O acres, the
preliminary estimate. The area picked
is estimated at 34,2S3, 900 acres. indi-
eating that the area aoa ndoned was
less than IA per cent. The revised
figures will be used by the department
in making it's cotton acreage this year
in July. Revised estimates place the
average yield at 1909 pounds instead
of 1882 pounds as preliminarily esti-
mated

INSTRUCTIVE FLY EXHIBIT

DR.. Blocker Secures From
Atlanta Board of Health
a Most Interesting Nat

ve1opment of the House
Fly.

Through the courtesy Of the Allan
Ia board of health. DR.. Louis deM
Blocker has received very interesting
fly exhibit which can be seen for a
few days in one of the Crystal Phar-
maey's windows and. which is exceed
ingfy Instructive. = -
Very few people, with all the talk
about flies, really know how the lit
tie pests are Matched and grow. This
window exhibit shows the fly in each
of his four stages of development.
The life circle of the fly from the
egg to full development is eleven days
and the following are the four stages
of development:
Four Stages of the Fly.
Eggs Il day)-The fly lays 120 eggs
at a time in manure or garbage. The
eggs hatch in one day and a tiny mag
got crawls out of each shell.
Maggot (6 days)-The maggot feeds
on filth, grows rapidly for six days.
and then draws up inside its skin
known as the pupa.
Pupa q days)-The red skin forms
a shell in which the maggot (now
pupa) slowly changes into a fly in
four days.
FIy-The fly breaks through the
shell, crawls around for a few minutes,
until its wings are spread out and
then flies away.
After this. the new fly begins to
lay eggs and they hatch in a similar
1t is easy to see therefore
how the millions of flies with which
we are frequently infested spring into
being in a few days
The exhibit in the Crystal Phar-
macy's window is worth going to see
and the school children particularly
should all take a trip down town and
look at It.

The Latest Jest From Hague

From the Detroit Free Press
There is a great deal of humor In
the proposition lately submitted to the
Hague conference calling for an inter-
national police to be organized for the
peaceful enforcement OF arbitral deci-
s1ons.' In fact, it is doubtful whether
the conference has known a more joy
Gus incident since the Chinese repre-
sentative blandly asked his colleagues
what should be done If one party to a
dispute wanted to go to war and the
other didn't.
The proposition is of course an ac-
Acknowledgement in so many words that
arbitration agreements are not worth
the paper they are written on unless
the contracting parties feel inclined to
honor them 1t is a sad admission that
the reign of force still continues and
that moral suasion operates only by
sufferance. 1t is nothing less than a
suggestion that a standing army be
maintained in order to insure peace be-
tween the highly enlightened and al
truistic nations which make np the
Hague conference. This in principle is
precisely what is advocated by the
present-day champions of big navies
and big armies, who, to the horror of
the pacifists, declare that only in prep
aration for war is there surety of
peace
But let us go a little further into the
matter. lt would. we take 1T, require a
somewhat sizable international police
force to compe1-say Great Britain and
Germany-to abide by an arbitration
decision If either of them should feel
disinclined to do so. We are afraid
that the result OF such an effort would
be the marshalling of the biggest mill
tary force of modern times, and per-
haps the beginning of that general war
of which Europe dreams O. nights
whenever its digestion happens to be
out of order. And there wouldn't be
much left of the peace conference when
the finish came.
Then, too, there would be the unim-
portant problem of deciding who should

Tho Government. the cattle men and
the packers foresee prices for beef next
winter that will make present prices
look low. This will result from diminu-
tion of supply. even as present prices
have resulted from the same pretty
nearly exclusive cause, as not only
economists but the ordinary consumers
now see.
Patrick Cudahy, the packer now in
London, puts the case exactly: The day
of unlimited free pastures is gone.
Farmers are now finding it expensive to
raise beef, and prices are going up ac-

has no kick coming. Nor will the con-
sumer have in the long run.
The truth is that the past era in ths
United states of cheap and abundant
food. especially of meat food. was not
an era of good eating. Merely to be
gorged is neither delectable for the
palate nor salubrious for the health II
Americans, fed on meat poorly cooked
three times day, were a. vigorous peo-
pie. they also were a people with phe-
nomenal indigestion and wretched
nerves.
Cooking is not merely an art TO PAM
per the appetite, 1t Is also an art of
fine economy that wastes not and that
conserves the full food values. The art
of cookery is to come In America, and
1t Is coming now.

some figures which show for 1918 only
46OoO,0O0 beef cattle in the United

them, large and small are almost as
