WEST INDIAN COTTON.

Messrs. Wolstenholme and Holland, of
Liverpool, write as follows, under date Jan
uary 27, with reference to the sales of West
Indian Sea Island cotton
Since our last report a good business has
been lone i'll West Indian Sen Island cotton
and prices remain very firm. About $50
bales have been sold, including Nevis and
Mon serrat (old anil new crop It'd. to 49,,
St. Kits I'D to 800, with a few superfiue
lots at I'D. and Barbados at 1870.
Owing to the poor character Of the crop,
Carolina Sea Islands are pressed for sale
and extra fine graded cotton has been sold ut
1891. and some graded crop lots are offering
at 16d. to 184d, West Indians being pre-
ferred. We understand that many Carolina
planters are intending to grow Upland cot
ton in place of Sea Island, owing to the
poor yield of the latter and the competition

THE IMPROVEMENT OF A USEFUL
GRASS.

The Report of the American Breeders
Association, Vol. vi, 1911, contains an arti-
Gle by L. A.. Moorhouse on the selection of
Devils grass (CynOdOn DactyIon), called
in the United States Bermuda grass. In
West Indian agriculture, Devils grass is one
of the most noxioue weeds of arabic land,
but 1t is OF value as a pasture grass and in
1ispensable as a grass for lawns. l. is also
useful for covering banks of sand and simi-
lar situations where excessive erosion or
washing is likely to occur. From these points
of view much benefit can be derived from
careful selection.
For pastures a type should be selected
which produces q dense growth of upright
stems; for the prevention of washing, plants
with a vigorous underground system should
be selected; whilst a type which forms an
exceedingly close turf is best suited for
growing on lawns.
The initial step towards obtaining improv-
ed strains is to select a hundred. or even
more, plants which appear to possess the
desired characteristics; it will be we'll to OBJ
tain these mother plants from different
localities, noting the rainfall and kind of
soil of each situation. The cuttings from
these plants should be planted in good, but
not heavily MANFRED soil, at a distance of 2
feet by 4 feet. The cuttings from one in
dividual plant should be confined to one
row, and q nursery number given to each
plant.
After one Or two seasons, those plants
which correspond in o measure to the de-
sired ideal, can be transplanted by cuttings
into larger plots. From this area material
will be available for general field planting

A SUBSTITUTE FOR CELLULOID.
New Non Flaming Film.

The British Fire Prevention Committee
announce that they have undertaken a series
of comparative tests with cinematograph
films of celluloid and of a subtance known
as "Cellit," and that the results of these
tests may be summarized as follows:-
These tests demonstrated
That a cinematograpb film made of "Cel-
lit" is practically a n~on-fammable film, and
may be described as mon flaming"
That even if the conditions are such that
a loose roll of "Cellit" film should become
ignited, the flip either burns with difficulty
or can be easily put out.
Having regard to the results Of these
tests, 'ECellit' has been classified by the
committee as "non-faming'.
This is the only celIuloid substitute that
has so far been submitted to the British Fire
Prevention Committee for official test and
carries it's certificate Times, J0n. 81.

EFFORTS TO LOCATE
WADE STEVENS

Atlanta, May 2S.-Efforts are being
made by the police of DeKalb county
tonight to locate Wade Stevens, II
years old, son of Mrs. Sarah stevens.
whose charred skeleton was found to-
day i'm the ashes of her home on Nc
Donough road. Close to the bones of
Mrs Stevens were those of her adopted
daughter Nellie, aged >. The skulls
of the women had been crushed and.
there We're other indications that both
had been murdered. Robbery is thought
to have been the motive for the crima,
as Mrs stevens Is reported to have
been well off and to have kept con-
siderable sums of money in her house.
After investigating the case, the cor
oners jury directed the apprehension
and detention of young Stevens, who
has disappeared. 1t is said that he
was heard to express a determination
to go to Chattanooga Tuesday, and the
police have been unable to trace his
movements since last night. He was
not charged with the murder by the
Coroners Jury
