COTTON MARKETING
Agriculture, John H. Page Commissioner.

The great trouble in the marketing of the cotton of the South is in the fact that the producers insist on sell ing in 90 days a crop that it takes the world 12 months to manufacture and consume. This creates the neces- sity for the middlemen to buy and hold the cotton until the manufacturers are ready for it. These middlemen are brought into existence through desire to make mony and in buying the cotton they expect to make money by holding. Their operation is spec ulative, and they cannot agord to hold cotton on small margin if they know it. Their expenses in interest, insur- ance, etc, are heavy. All of these things are taken into account, and de- ducted in advance when they buy, con- sequently these items fall on the farm CT.
 The cotton spinners do not care what price they have to pay for cotton as long as the price is the same to all. I have heard them say so. They base the price of the manufactured product on the price they pay for cot ton. Now, here is the chance for the farmer to increase the price of cot ton. The Secretary of the Treasury has already placed fifteen-million dol lars in the banks of the South to be loaned to the cotton producers on cot ton at six per cent per annum. Ev- cry farmer who will borrow money on his cototn, and hold it for six or nine months, is almost assured of high CT price.
 The way to borrow money is to put your cotton in a warehouse and get a receipt for it, and borrow on the warehouse receipt.
 The U. s. Government has estab- lished in Little Rock for the season a man to grade and classify cotton for the producer This service is available to all the producers. You can send your sample to him, get it graded and classed, and place the grade in your warehouse receipt This will help you to borrow at better advantage, and to sell at better advantage. You can sell at any time. Get a club of farmers together, or see your local merchants or bankers, and get loan on all, or part, of your cotton, and hold it for better market
 The solution of the cotton grower rests in marketing the crop gradual ly, through legitimate buyers, and brokers. This will always insure you the market value of your cotton. The farmer can warehouse his cotton as easy as the speculator, and at less cost.
 Ask your merchants for assistance in borrowing money on your cotton, if you want to hold it. By all means do not rush your cotton on the mar ket. The crop is short.

 Commissioner

The suggestion that the people Of
the United States form clubs and com

ize themselves In the use Of weapons
In readiness for protection In case Of
war is only new in the form of the
weapons In which we are asked to be-

if of London, dated June IL, 1349, 566
years ago, Edward III sets forth how
the people Of our realm, as well OF
good quality as mean, have common
ly in their sports before these times
exercised their skill of shooting ar
rows; whence it is well known that
honor and profit have accrued to our
whole realm, and to us, by the help
of God, no small assistance in our
warlike acts. Now, however, the said
skill being, as 1t were, wholly laid
aside" the king commands the sheriff
to make public proclamation that
every one of the said city, strong in
body, at leisure times on holidays. use
in their recreations bows and arrows,
of pellets and bolts, and learn and ex-

PREHISTORIC WORKS IN OHIO
In tho State There Are Some Five
Thousand Remalns Of Ancient
Civilization.

On the banks Of the Scioto, within
four miles of Columbus, on its north
boundary, stand two conspicuous ex-
amples Of the work Of the prehistoric
peoples Of that vicinity. One is on the
old F1enniken farm, on the east bank
OF the river, and on the west side OF
the river road, about mile north OF
the water pumping station and fltra.
ton plant. The other is on the west
side Of the river, three miles farther
north, and is on the west side of the
road that skirts the west shore of the
river. 1t Is on the Ehrum farm.
] They are mounds of the same type
and Of considerable size. They stand
on level planes, from which they rise
abruptly and symmetrically to height
OF twenty or twenty-five feet. 1t must
appear to any observer. writes H. J.
I Galbraith In the Columbus Dispatch,
that they are artificial and not natural
mounds. The owners Of the proper
ties have long placed high values on
them and have not been disposed to
| permit them to be opened. AS a mat
ter of fact scientific psychologists are
not anxious to explore these mounds,
for, while they admire them as ex-
amples of the work Of the ancient in
habitants here. they know from expe-
rience In exploring such earthworks
that 1t is extremely unlikely that they
would yield anything worth the time
and labor it would take to make the
explorations.
There are several less conspicuous
mounds in the county that Doctor
Mills. the curator Of the museum at
Ohio State university, would prefer to
open, mounds that the general public
would lightly regard, If indeed they
would recognize them as the work of
prehistoric peoples at all. There is a
mound Of this kind on the Olentangy
river near Worthington that is hardly
known at all to the general public that
Doctor Mills has been watching for
some time. II know that mound would
yield a rich store of treasures" said
he. There isn't any sort Of doubt
about It, but feel sure that anyone
who would explore the two Scioto
mounds would get little for his pains.
Counting them all, big and little,
there are probably $50 earthworks of
these ancient people within the Dor
ders of Franklin county, and five OF
six thousand in the state OF Ohio. No
other state In the Union Is richer in
the evidences Of a prehistoric civiliza
ton than the Buckeye state is.

Apaohe Chief Dead.

Magoosh. supposed to have been the
only baldheaded Indian In the world.
and the last of the famous war chiefs
OF the Apaches. ninety years old, is
dead. He had 20 wives In his time.
In February, 1907, two Of his wives
died within a week Of each other.
Maeoosh led his Indian braves at
dozen massacres and in scores of
raids. His most serious defeat was at
the hands of the Texas rangers, I'M
der Capt Daniel w. Roberts, In 1875.

FOUR-Fo0TED ORCHARD PEST
Best Way to Destroy Pocket-Gophers
10 by Poisoned Bait, Before the
Young Are Weaned.

Photographers are serious garden
and orchard pests in some parts of
the country. These animals are pro-
vided with a pocket-like pouch on
each side of the head The pouches
are outside, Independent of the mouth,
and, contrary to the belief of many,
are not used for carrying dirt out OF
the burrows but for carrying food.
The presence of mounds of earth in
garden, orchard or lawn indicates the
presence of either a pocket-gopher or
mole. The burrow of the gopher is
sometimes left open temporarily,
which is not the case with that Of a
mole. Photographers are largely noe
turnal in their habits above ground.
Hawks and owls, foxes, weasels and
the common house cat prey upon the
photographers 1t is probable, too,
that the larger snakes devour them.
No. o steel trap may be set in
the burrow by digging down a foot
or more behind newly made mound.
The top of the trap should be on a
level with the floor of the burrow and
nearly covered with fine earth. The
opening should be covered in order
to exclude the light.
By far the best way to destroy
photographers is by poisoned bait,
particularly before the young are
weaned. AS much powdered strych-
