ORGANIZE To
KEEP UP PRICE
Of COTTON
FOUR SOUTHERN FEDERAL RE-
SERVE BANKS WILL STAND BE-
HIND PRODUCERS - BANKERS
PLEDGE THEIR SUPPORT.

Galveston, Texas, Aug. 16.-Repre-
sentative bankers from eight cotton
states today pledged themselves to
stand solidly behind the producers in
an effort to secure fair and inform
price for cotton and in this they were
pledged the support of the four south
ern federal reserve banks. The meet
ing of bankers held here today result
ed in the perpetuation of the cotton
states bankers conference, the next
meeting of which will be held in No
vember or December, subject to the
call of President Joseph Hirsch of
Corpus Christi, Texas.
The means by which it is proposed
to secure to the producers fair price
for their staple is the gradual market
ing of cotton. The bankers have
agreed to advance money to the farm
ers on cotton securities, and the fed
eral reserve banksI representatives
agreed to re-discount this paper. Thus
they hope to offer no more cotton than
the market will instantly absorb. The
purpose of such graduated marketing
is not speculative but for the benefit
of the producers.
In the meeting today. five presidents
of state bankers association, three
representatives took part. Unanimity
of opinion marked the progress of the
conference and the participants feel
that the financial south is soidly be-
hind them. There were 72 bankers
present.
That the federal reserve directors
are in sympathy with the movement
was shown by several kilograms from
Chairman w. p. G. Harding of the
federal reserve board. In one of these
Mr.. Harding expressed a willingness
to meet with committee of southern
bankers in Birmingham on August 26.
Pursuant to his expression, a commit

Mr.. Harding on the general subject
of cotton marketing. The committee
is composed of one representative
from every state and nearly all the
members are the presidents of their
respective state bankers associations.
The next meeting of the conference
will be called at the discretion Of
Chairman Hirsch, who predicated that
it would be held during the latter part
of November, in a central city of the
south.
The formation of an association of
southern bankers had been one of the
plans of the leaders in calling the
meeting held here To-Day, but after the
delegates arrived, it was decided that
a sectional association might be han
dicapped, with antagonisms that would
mar the work of a permanent confer
enCe.

AGRICULTURE,
LESSONS AND
HOME LIFE
SUGGESTIONS FOR THE RURAL
TEACHER TO AID IN MAKING
THE PUPIL SEE THE RELATION
SHIP.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. ia num-
ber of suggestions to help the rural
public school teacher in leading his
or her pupils to see the direct relation
between home life and their school
studies, are contained in a new publi-
cation of the department Of agricul-
ture. This bulletin, No. PSI, entitled
"Correlating Agriculture With the Pub
! lie School Subjects in the Northern
States" contains a plan OF work eX-
tending from September through the
fall, winter and spring, to the end OF
June. Under this plan, each pupil is
encouraged to undertake some home
project; that is to say, some work at
home which will extend through
whole season, will be connected with
the instruction in agriculture which
the pupil receives at school, and
record of the results of which will be
faithfully kept and turned in to the
teacher at the conclusion of the pro-
iect. At school the pupils exercises
in arithmetic, spelling English, geogra-
ply etc, are so directed that the
value of these subjects in practical
life is made clear. For example, in
the language lessons, the pupil may be
asked to write out the method which
he used in testing milk with a Bah
cock tester, special emphasis being
placed upon the need for making the
meaning absolutely clear. In the same
way the records obtained from COW
testing may be used as exercise in
arithmetic and the pupil asked to com
pute the total yield of butter fat its
money value, and the estimated profit
from any given dairy herd.
In the supplement of the bulletin
is contained a number of sample
score cards designed to assist the
teacher in rating agricultural exhibits
which the pupils should be encouraged
to make. The new bulletin is designed
especially for rural school teachers in
the northern states.

ENGLISH ORDER
HAS BEEN FILLED
FRANCE AND ITALY STILL BUY
ING HoRsEs-PRIcEs LOWER
THAN BEFORE.

Morris Williams in his weekly mar
ket letter, says that the English gov.
eminent has sent out notice that no
horses will be bought after the last of
July. Prices following this will not
be SO good. The letter follows:
Notice has been sent to dealers that
England will cease to buy army horses
after the last day of July. Whether
their wants are permanently supplied
or whether it Is only temporary sus-
pension of buying, Is not known but
it will for the time being at least,
cut off the demand for the better class
of artillery horses. France and Italy
continue in the market, but the class of
horses taken by these two coun-
tries is much inferior to those &C
copied by the English, and the prices
are much lower. fear those who hold
their English horses later than this
week may have to accept lower prices
for them.
