COTTON GOSSIP

Gossip has it that the Tong" interest
that hquidated cotton yesterday will
try to buy it all back on any good re-
action, and for this reason the boys
we're rather friendly to the long side
for turn.
Friday is July notice day. Nobody
seems TO have much idea what will
happen. It is said that Liverpool will
demand the cotton unless differences
continue to narrow
The buying looks to come from good
sources and sentiment is more friendly
to the ball side

OPINION ON GRAIN.

CHICAGO, June 25.-Bartlett, Frazier
& Co: Wheat-Rains west Of the river
may interfere somewhat with harvest
ing, but are certainly timely in the
spring wheat country. We are likely to
have a lower opening, but do not look
for any big decline.
Corn-The weather is perfect for
growing crop. which has a tendency to
curtail new speculative buying.
Oats-Market looks lower with other
grains. but there is a stronger feeling
regarding the values Of oats than pre-
wallis in corn. based on the belief that a
great deal Of damage has been done
which can not be repaired.
Provisions are liable to have a set
hack

Acting president of the American
Commission to investigate Euro
pean Agricultural Corpora
ton.
Special Cable TO The Atlanta Georgian.
BERLIN. June 25.-The marked and
cordial hospitality with which the
American Commission has been re-
ceived everywhere on it's travels
through Europe was reflected again
in Berlin. In all countries visited
every effort has been made by both
Government officials and heads Of ag-
ricultural institutions to facilitate our
work.
Perhaps the one greatest advantage
which the trip has brought is the fact
that a comparatively large number of
men representing diversified interests
in the United States have come in
contact with the work Of Europeanl
agricultural cooperative Institutions
and their leaders.
Interest in Agriculture.
l have been much impressed with
the deep. interest displayed in agri-
culture as a whole here, both among
the Government officials and business
men A similar interest is being
awakened in our own country, but in
Europe It is very clear and defined.
II Is based on the conviction that the
welfare of the farmers is not a class
interest. but a national interest; that
the promotion and development of ag-
riculture are essential parts of a ma
tional policy.
I also have been impressed with
the extent Of the political activities
and influence Of the farming classes
in some of the European countries.
This of course, may account in part
for the interest the Governments take
in agriculture.
Skill Shown in Farming.
Even the most superfiuOus observa.
ton Of conditions in Europe cannot
fail to impress one with the remark
able skill shown in farming here. For
example, the average yield of wheat
in Germany is thirty bushels to the
acre-more than double that in the
United States. In the best farming
districts It rises to between forty-five
and fifty bushels, and this in a coun-
try with a rainfall of only twenty
inches year.
The organization of cooperative in
stitutions in addition to relatively
cheap labor probably has had much
to do in bringing about this skillful
farming. IL has given the farmer
capital at a low interest and on easy
terms as well as the possibility of
disposing Of his products to advant-
age. The success Of the methods en-
| ployed are also due partly TO the sys-
| TEN Of agricultural education, and as
a consequence to the application OF
| science to practical agriCu ture

A protest against No. IS White being
given a perfect score was lodged with
Referee Beecroft, by the entrant Of the
Mais, who secured a number Of sigma
lures to a petition to the referee to re-
open the case. The protest was based
on the allegation that the White truck
stopped its motor on the first days run,
compelling the driver to crank 1t. This
was disputed, and at a meeting held
Friday night Referee Beecroft heard a
number of witnesses, and took num-
Der of dispositions bearing on the subject.
The fact was brought out that num-
her of the entrants and drivers signed
the protest under a misrepresentation.
and later they asked that their names
be stricken from the protest. Referee
Beecroft. who left for New York early
yesterday morning, took all the papers
in the case with him, and will render
a decision in the matter within the next
few days Whatever decision he makes
will not affect the standing of any of
the cars except No. Is White.
