WITH THE USUAL GREETING
Elderly Darky Remembered His Training and Addressed Stereo-
 typed Question to Angel"

Jack McGreeyy, the vaudeville en- tertainer, was reared in a southern locality where the population was largely black and where the older darkies were invariably respectful A part of their deference, says Me Greeyy, was to inquire as to the health of the family of anyone who addressed them, even if he were stranger.
 Thus an elderly negro was at work in the fields not far from a fair grounds where parachute jump was a part of the entertainment. The jumper, a girl, had gone up in a bal loon and had encountered a wind which blew her some distance before she cut loose, and when she landed it was only few feet from the old uncle with the hoe. He had not seen her descend. and he fairly blinked as he beheld the vision in scarlet tights and virulent peroxide hair His train ing did not desert him, however, for he asked presently:
 Good eyenin, Miss Angel. How's yo' paw an maw?'

TO ABANDON ONE-CROP IDEA
Wise to Place Dependence Upon Single Staple.

After twenty or thirty years of agi- tation the South has decided to aban don the one-crop idea. The war in Flu rope is credited with convincing the cotton planters that it is not wise to place all dependence upon single staple. says Providence Journal. Re ports from the agricultural depart ments of the southern states indicate that there is general interest in food crops, and that the farmers in the cotton belt will enjoy greater prosper ity this year than in 1914, even though change in the European situation should increase the demand for tex tiles
 The South is in a good position to raise cattle and other food supplies Increasing population insures a good market for all of these that can be produced. and as yet there is nothing to warrant the fear that they will not give fair profits. There is room enough in the South for both cotton and other crops. and the wonder is that the people of that part of the country failed to see the advantages of diversity many years ago.

FARMERS SHOULD HAVE PLAN
Attention of Those Interested in Farm ing Should Be Called to the
 Necessity of Basis.

The attention of the farmers and those interested in the farmers and in farming should be called to the neees. sity of putting the farming business on a community or district basis, states A. l.. Paschall, farm adviser fol Cochise and Santa Cruz counties of the agricultural extension service Uni versity of Arizona college of agricul. ture, and the U. S department of az | riculture. Such a system is necessary for tf 2 standardization of products, the economical purchase of supplies and the efficient distribution and prof itable sale of products.
 In order to realize a profit from farming there are generally two i'm portant considera tions other than the improvement of the farm unit:
 1. Local Markets.
 There is some complaint among the farmers that the local or nearby deal CTS will not buy or handle their prod ucts In some cases this is perhaps Justifiable. A better understanding and closer cooperation between the
 
 would be of advantage to all How ever, the consumers make certain de- mands of the dealers. and in order to supply these the dealers must know where they can get the supplies in sufficient quantities, of uniform qual. ity and as cheap as possible. For in stance. if farl r brings in to To- cal dealer a few sacks of red pota- toes, when the dealers customers want white potatoes. he should not expect the dealer to buy Further more, the dealer wants a regular de pendable supply of produce so that he can meet the requirements of his can meet the dealers demands by studying the markets, organizing and cooperating to supply them.
 2. Distant Markets.
 In order to develop the agricultural areas of these counties and to find sale for the products other markets than the local ones must be consid- cred However, in supplying these, practically the same requirements as those which apply to the local markets must be considered. The markets. soil and other local conditions must be studied What can be produced prof1tably to ship in carload or train load lots?
 Let us get together and study this matter in a businesslike way. Let us know what you are producing, in what quantities. with what success or fail ure We desire to make a detailed study of as many farms as possible, but we cannot reach them all in this way in short time By studying our soil, water supply and other local con- ditions and our successes or failures, and bringing these data together in a systematic manner. much can be ac- eomplished toward solving the prob lens of making our farms pay.

TOO MUCH FOR JUDGE GARY
Youthful Lawyer Made Technical Er- TOT in Billiard Contest With
 Legal Veteran.

Judge Martin, as young lawyer and on first arrival in Chicago, thought himself fortunate in gaining an intro- duction to Judge Gary-the Gary who tried the anarchists. The judge took shine to the young chap and pro posed a game of billiards, wherein Martin made technical error that he remembered for long. Gary played an old mans game, and Martin then as now, was particularly handy with a cue

LOOK FOR COTTON SURPRISE
Millions of Soldiers in Europe Will Have to Be Supplied With Cloth.
 ing When Weather Changes.

''The situation in the cotton busi- ness is about what I have steadily predicted" said former cotton man to a Birmingham Age-HeralG repre- sentative the other day, and from now on We may look for something surprising to many interested in the staple
 T believe cotton will sell for 12h cents in July and 15 cents in August l base my predictions upon the fol- lowing facts: The normal demand for spinnable cotton over the entire world before the present war began was ap- proximately 15,5O0,000 bales, every. thing running The mills consumed for two years previous to September l, 1914, 31000.000 bales and also large carrying over from previous years Not for a decade or two had the de- mand for cotton come as near ab- sorbing the crop offering as in the two years named-1913-1914 These crops were marketed at an average price for both crops of 1920 cents for middling Today there are more cot ton spindles either running or await ing cotton than ever before Those making army cloths are pressed to the limit In this country and in Europe, Russia and Japan. When the warm weather sets in millions of soldiers will have to be supplied with cotton clothing; every two weeks, 'tis said, there must be new outfit for those on the firing line; winter clothing will have to be discarded Hospital demands for bed linen, bandages and clothing will steadily increase
 "The manufacture of explosives will consume near 100000 bales: some of this will be linters. but a good part of the 100000 bales of linters is go- ing into upholstery and mattress mak- ing; much of 1t into absorbent cot ton, so that 100000 bales will be used for explosives and if the war continues during summer, even more
 The New York cotton exchange regulations-by federal enactment will begin to be felt more and more In a restrictive sense as to reckless short selling as the remainder of the crop comes in, and as there develops an ownership by those determined to get better price: cotton gamblers will hesitate to make heavy commit ments for the summer months, with steady advancing market. and strong ly controlled and diminishing supply I believe that late planting and fair seasons will yield a 13.500. .000-bale crop at least"
