the policy OF cautious marketing

to this level undoubtedly has been
due no ll.tle to the meagerness Of re-

lieve, has been the rapid growth Of
exports. For the season as a whole,
the exports have no; been much above
60 per cent OF those mp TO the same
date last year. But for last week, that

but we venture TO say there are few

News closely enough to catch the
small item which recorded this highly
encouraging fact. Under the head Of
weekly receipts and exports 1t was
shown that the total exports for the
week ending Friday had been Si9,SiS
bales as against 227,j77 for the same
week Of las. year. an excess OF 1872

THE SIBERIAN cossAcKs,

A French writer says somewhere
that in all time the Cossacks have

ever. Cossacks and Cossacks, and
Cossack is an excessively wider term
considering that it includes inhabit-
ants OF Transbaikalia as well as
settlers on the banks Of the Don. The
Siberian and Transbaikal Cossacks
are the descendants of settlers in ST.
IBERIA and Transbaikalia, and form
part Of the same organization; but as
a race they differ greatly from the
European Cossack. The European
Cossacks have quite falsely the repu'
tation of brutality and cruelty. This
Is no doubt because they are employ

KILL INSECTS IN WINTER.

Urges State Entomologlst.
The necessity for destroying in
sects In their winter alternating
quarters is stressed in an Interview
made public today by Wilmon Newell,
State entomologist and entomologist
at the A. & NJ. College.
Fall and winter is essentially the
time when insects may be destroyed
In their winter alternating quarters"
said Mr.. Newell. Among the most
important insects from the farmers
standpoint at present Is the sorghum
nudge. II is this tiny nudge that hs
caused the bightlng and loss Of
sorghum and Sudan grass seed the
past season In the majority OF Texas
localities. No practical steps can be
taken against the nudge during the
growing season. but II passes through
the winter as cOcoon-coyered larvae In
the seed heads and hulls OF Johnson
grass and any Sudan grass, sorghum,
feterl.a or milo maize heads left In
the field. All fields which have been
in these crops the past season should
have an vegetation plowed under
deeply this winter. Not single old
head OF any OF these plants or Of
Johnson grass should be left unburn.
ed or unburled All Johnson grass
areas near Sudan or sorghum fields,
or better still, all johnson grass,
should be burned over this winter
with a good hot fire which Is suf-
! fcient to burn all seeds. Sudan seed

purposes should be fumigated with

fumigating can be had by writing d.

LEGISLATURE IS
NOW IN SESSION
There Is a Long List Of Important
Business Which viii Be Given
Consideration.
by Associated Prcss)

Austin, Tex, Jan. r. - Many i'm.
rortant changes in Texas laws were .
on the unwritsen program Of the F.
thirty.fourth biennial session Of the 1
Legislature, which convened here TO. I
day. Many legislators believed the
session would last not less than 800
days, or approximately four months
This period would mean an extra ses.
sion. Seldom has q larger number Of
laws with which the people Of The
entire State are familiar been In
prospect The legislators who fore.
cast a four months session based on
these laws do not allow time in this
period for completing legislative
probes such as have been character
istlc OF all recent sessions.
1t now appears certain there will
be a strong effor; to amend the Rob
ertson insurance law. under which
most Of the oldline companies left
the State. Although Goyernorelec,
James +. Ferguson has announced
against any liquor agitation. the pro
hibitionis,s expect 10 make at least
some advance in their cause. 1t is
said that the demand for amending
the Allison law to prevent shipments
into dry territory will probably be
the first important case TO drag the
liquor question to the front Governor
Ferguson's ideas for solving the land
tenantry problem are one OF the high
points Of interest at present.
An important proposed bill would
create \ corporation commission Of
three or five members with iurisdic-
tion over all public utilities concerns,
Another bill would put service cor.
/ porations under Railroad Commission
/ jurisdiction.
The submission Of a constitutional
convention to the vote Of the STATE,
! It is said, is certain to come before
the Legislature.
A summary Of the more important
measures now in prospect follows:
Regulating interurbans, possibly
placing them under the provisions Of
