Agitation Against Speculative
Trading on N. Y. Exchange
Changes Trend of Prices.

MEMPHIS. March 2l.-That tne
bears in the cotton market have pref
ty well discounted influences favor
ing that side of speculation appears
from developments of the past week.
There has been manifest concern
among the traders who have for
some time been resting easy on the
short side, and many of them have
covered their exposed positions. Out
side participation in the market has
continued limited, which has prevent
ed any large advance in values,
though sentiment has undergone a
change. Several reasons have been
popular with those trying to explain
the change in the trend of prices.
One that has found favor is that
the agitation against speculative trad
ing, especially through the contract
in vogue in New York, has had a ter
dency to encourage covering, for there
has been a tightening of the rules az
to the acceptance of low grades for
delivery on contracts. The large
amount of cotton shipped to that CEN
ter which has been rejected by the
classification committee directed at
tention to the fact that differences
between contract prices there and
those ruling in the South for the ac-
tual stuff were large, and that il
would be practically impossible 10

ing them back in the open market 1t
has also been limited that the turning
OF the light on methods used by the
large spot concerns in their efforts to
depress prices resulted in a Change Of
plans, lest adverse legislation be given
boost.
There was also a recognition on the
part of the shorts of the strength in
the spot department. The lower grades
were also gaining in favor and were
beipo taken by the spinners.
The report of the Census Depart
ment showed that in the United States
during February mills used up $4,000
bales of cotton. compared with 44S,0D
for the same period in 1913, and that
stocks in the hands of spinners were
smaller than then. Nearly a million
more spirdles were in operation than
year ago. Exports to foreign coun-
tries were also much larger than for
the same period last year.
The uncertainty as to what the final
ginning report would be acted all the
week as a restraining influence on

Great Waterways Congress at
Savannah to Assemble Noted
Engineers Of the World.

SAVANNAH, March 21.-A floral
auto parade, the first ever held in
South Georgia, will be one of the fea-
lures of the festivities accompanying
the meeting of the National Drainage
Congress at Savannah April 22-25.
Liberal prizes will be offered for
the most attractively decorated auto
mobile or float. The judges will prob
ably be the Governors of Georgia and
adjacent States. Many of the Chief
Executives of Southern States are
expected to attend the congress and
from among them the judges will be
chosen
Men of prominence in public life
and business affairs will gather for
the congress. From Europe will come
several engineers of note, among them
Sir William Willcocks, whose work
in the construction of the great As
souan dam across the Nile, in Egypt,
the worlds most colossal work of
that nature, has won him interna-
tiAal fame. The Importance OF
drainage is becoming more apparent
from day to day, especially in Geor-
gia, Florida and the CarolinaS, with
their great low, unreclaimed areas,
susceptible of vast agricultural posi-
bilities. The congress will be pro-
ductive of a wonderful stimulus in
that direction.

Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, March 21-Ambassador
Pages remarks before the London
Chamber of Commerce have proved
intensely gratifying to his listeners.
His remarks are now accepted as
natural tribute to the virtues o. the
Asquith administrations policy.
On the other hand. curiously
enough, It is now understood that MIR
Page is intensely annoyed that his
after dinner effort should be con-
strued as amounting to a pleasantly.
In his own eyes he was making Sc
rious declaration of a Cabinet policy
He maintains that since the Lord
Murray episode in Colombia, Euro
pean investors in South America
really have been filled with fear lest
the United States oppose their finan-
cial activities, and 1t was this dread
which he set himself to combat. Far
from being a pleasantly, this section
of his speech was intended as de-
liberate declaration of President Will
sons wishes.
Press Supports Him.
Meanwhile all classes in England
are rallying to the support of Mr..
Page. All the newspapers give the
greatest prominence to Washington
kilograms announcing that the Am
bassador will not receive an official
reprimand.
In fact, 1t is almost Mr.. Pages mis-
fortune that he is not made victim
Of official disapproval. That is the
only thing that is needed to make him
the idol of the British public and
give them chance of showing their
real appreciation of an Ambassador
who already is ranked among the
great predecessors in his post, while
his American critics are regarded as
beneath notice.
For example, The Pail Mall Gazette,
in its usual superior tone, says;
Editorial Comment.
"Mr Page is probably keeping eX-
tremely cam over the calculated ag1-
tation which his pleasantries at the
recent dinner of the Associated Cham
bers OF Commerce evoked in America.
"The ideals of Senator Chamberlain
are. Of course, pretty well known,
while the fact that Mr.. Hearst is the
leader in the press attack on the Am
bassador is no less significant I'm
der the circumstances, Mr. Page will
probably conclude that, in spite of
the senator's pondefOuS ODJecIlonS,
courtesy and humor are qualities still
permitted to an Ambassador"
The Evening Standard has an edi-
torial headed THE Great American
Joke" After referring to the Amer
lean boast of it's great national sense
of humor, it proceeds:
Thinks II Humor.
ut Is more than surprising to hear
of the tumult caused in the States by
Mr. Pages reference to the Monroe
Doctrine and the Panama Canal.
What hurt most was his reference to
the large extent to which Great Brit
ain would profit from Americas mag
nificent enterprise. This is accepted
in dead earnest over the Atlantic, al
though II is now explained as a pleas
antry such as any Ambassador, espe-
cially any American Ambassador, is
entitled to indulge in"

SELECTION OF COTTON SEED

Don't forget that in that field OF
fine cotton each plant is a separate

good, some bad, and some Indifferent.

human affairs, extra good people are
somewhat more scarce than just COM
mon, everyday people, so in that cot

them, next year you are going to

;By W. MILTON KELLY)

iBy W. MILTON KELLY
Dairy COWS do not have the ability
to make something out Of nothing.
The highly developed special purpose
dairy cows, the most profitable pro-
ducers, cannot be kept in northern
latitude without a liberal supply Of
grain food. If We had pasture grass
at ell times of the year it would be. diff
ferent; but dairying has so far made
more progress in colder climate,
where it is necessary to house the herd
and feed them inside. during the win
ter months.
A great change is gradually coming
over the dairy business On the ma
jority Of farms the dairy business has
in its fullest and most profitable de-,
velopment, been built up largely upon
a basis of cheap grains and CONNER
cial oy-pro6ucts from the grain pro-:
ducing states.
In many dairying sections in the
eastern and middle states where milk
production is the leading branch OF
agriculture, the plow has been largely
laid aside, the farms converted into
the growing Of hay and ensilage, the
great gain garden Of the west furnish
ing the main elements required to
make milk. Is this the most proflta-
BILE type Of dairy farming to develop
in other sections? Shall dairy farm
-ers be content to utilize their expen-
sive land for the growing Of hay and
ensilage corn, increase the number OF
COWS kept on their farms and depend
upon the grain growing states to fur
nish them with large portion Of their
cattle foods? This is question that
must be worked out before man can
adopt any definite policy In the build.
ing up Of his dairy, business.
The constantly increasing demand
for these feed stTffs and grain feeds
is making their use almost prohibitiye
to dairy farmers Should this induce
US to go out Of the business or to sell
some of our cows?- 1t is certain to
prove a blessing to US in the end. Al
though it may decrease the number
Of COWS kept on many farms, it is go
ing to open up to US the possibilities
row lying dormant in our soils and be
the means Of causing US to adopt 9TH
er crops that are better. suited to our
economic needs It is going to en-

dairy foods and highly organized truck
and market crops that viii afford US

the concentrated foods that are need
ed to balance the rations Of the high
producing cows have had expert
ence in the growing OF potatoes and
various other market crops on dairy
farms, and will say without hesita-
tion that By depending upon the ma
nure from our dairy COWS and clover
crop for nitrogen and by the purchase
Of mineral fertilizers carrying good
amounts of phosphoric acid and pot
ash, we can develop a better and more
profitable system Of dairy farming and
crop growing and greatly increase the
stock carrying capacity Of our farms.
Many dairy farmers are situated in
localities where market crop growing
may not prove adapted to their farms,
and such men would undoubtedly ind
greater profits in growing some grain
crop in place Of money crop, and
