COTTON WILL BE DAMAGED.
Clemson College Urges Farmers to
Put Bales Under Shelter.

South Carolina farmers will suffer
heavy losses on their cotton if they
continue to allow it to stand in their
yards and fields exposed to the rigor-
Gus weather Of winter This is the
statement of experts at Clemson Col
lege, who urge that the farmers Of
the State find some way Of housing
their cotton properly, even if they
have to build only temporary storage
sheds. Advice on this point is also
being given out by the cutton-mar-
keting specialists Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Cotton is believed to be absolutely
non-perishable. 1t is true that if the
staple is properly sheltered it will
last indefinitely in it's original condi-
ton. But it deteriorates in quality
aged cotton that farmers lose most,
it is said, since in their ignorance of
what the low grades ought to bring,
many people will sell damaged cotton
lol SeNSldl uOlldIS per DdlS less IMAM
it is worth.
1t is understood that no part Of
the 100000 subscribed by the
bankers Of the country to be loaned
on cotton at 6 per cent will be ad-
vanced on cotton which is not prop
erly warehoused and insured.
The weather is taking on its usual
winter ipclemCnCy. Yet the various
field men of Clemson College, return
inc to headquarters, report that the
numbers Of bales of cotton scat
tered about front yards and fields
seem to be increasing rather than
decreasing. Somebody is losing
money on every one of these bales.
1t is time to do something about it.
If storage sheds are not available,
they should be built. 1t is estimated
that even to build a new shed, it will
cost only 50 per bale to insure and
store 1 1000 bales for a year and this
cost is much less than what the loss
from exposure is likely to be.

Oldest Settlement on Earth.
christian Herald.)

AT last we are set down in the
midst Of Damascus, a city that can
claim life without a break from it's
founding back in the dim dawn of
the worlds history. When Abram
crossed the desert from Haran 1000
years ago this city was standing.
(See Genesis xiv Is and xv:2). She
dates back to the time Of the Pha-
raohs in Egypt; in fact, she was old
when Greece and Rome we're strip
lings in years. Rome may be termed
the Eternal City" but Damascus is
twice as DID, and though her streets
have run red with blood Of battle
and rapine many times, she has not
been overthrown.
Babylon is an heap in the desert
and Tyre a ruin on the shore" but
Damascus remains.
Was there ever such a place to see
the nations Of the earth parading to-
gether? Here in the market place
are motley crowds Of Persians,
Moors, Afghans, Indians, Egyptians,
Sudanese, Jews, Bedouins, Druses,
| Turks, Europeans. The streets-so
crooked, so narrow, so dirty, so full
Of life, with that strange smell Of the
desert upon them! The residences
as seen from the street are ugly and
disappointing enough, yet, like old
barns and tumble-down mills at
home, are fascinating and pictur-
esque.
