COTTON PROFITS IN EGYPT
Growers Realize Better Price in Ag-
gregate for Their Crop Than Do
American Producers.

Notwithstanding Anticipated methods
and small knowledge of the value of
seed and other by-products, Egyptian
cotton growers realize 4 better price in
the aggregate for their crop than do
American producers This is partly
because of cheap labor and partly be-
cause the lack of rain during the har-
vesting season makes the field loss
very light.
If modern methods of cultivation
of the land were employed the profit
would be even greater. AS it is, cot
ton worth IS to 90 cents on the market
is there produced at a cost of little
more than 10 cents per pound
To produce the best grade in this
country costs from 10 to II cents.
while it brings only II TO 10 cents
And it must be remembered that
Egypt must pay for irrigation at that.

Gets Job: Dies First Day.

John J. Cullen had been out Of
work since January. Almost every
day he had applied for work from the
contractors building a bridge across
the Passaic river between Belleyille
and Arlington, n. ].
An extra man was needed and the
contractors put Cullen to work
Pleased at getting a job, he worked
with zest until noon AS he was leav-
ing the bridge for lunch he fell into
the water a few feet from shore.
The water was shallow. Cullen
rose to his feet and staggered to
shore. Then he dropped again When
men reached him he was dead. He
was thirty-five years old, and lived
at ZIG Cleveland Avenue, Harrison.

NOT WORRIED OVER COTTON
Acreage viii Not Be Lessened More
Than IS Per Cent, Says Colonel
Simpson Of Texas.

Fifteen per cent. perhaps, not more,
will be the total reduction in the cot
ton acreage of the southern states
this year, said Col John \. Simpson
of Dallas, Tex. one of the most extern
siVe operators of the southwest, while
in Washington recently. Some per-
sons will tell you that the cotton acre
age in 1915 will not be so large as last
year by 80 to 40 per cent, but mark
what say, it will not be reduced more
than Is per cent. And it should not
be. The cotton acreage does not fix
the production by any means. A re
duced acreage might mean big crop.
and big acreage a small crop. There
are SO many varied conditions, depen-
dent upon climate, the boil weevil and
other things, that it is impossible to
determine how much cotton any sec
ton will make until a few weeks be-
fore picking.
1T is utter folly for persons in Off
cial life, or in business, to tell the cot
ton planter how much land he shall
devote to cotton or what crops he
shall plant. Diversifcation of farming
is all right; it's an excellent thing,
but the man who has worked his so
acres for a generation, raised a big
family and learned his land is Ger
tainly better able to tell what he ought
to do with that land than a man in
Washington or New York, who never
saw it. The farmer might as we'll tell
the banker how to run the latter's af-
fairs. | look for a good-sized crop this
year If weather conditions are favor
able, and if we get big crop, it is not
going to hurt much. The bulk of last
years crop is out of the farmers
hands. Perhaps u per cent remains
unsold OF course, all of this has not
been sent to the mills or exported, but
the grower has disposed of it. The
crop averaged the Texas planter about
~ cents a pound which is not good
price. as everybody knows.
The Southwest, however, is show
ing better business conditions. This
is due probably to the sale of the cot
ton and the consequent circulation of
money"

GOOD IDEA OF COOPERATION
Better Prices Received for Butter
Than From Elgin Factory-No
Middleman to Be Paid.

Since ours is very cooperative
community | thought perhaps a de
scription of some of its works might
be of interest.
First, we have one of the finest
ereameries in the country 1t is a
success in every way and gives COM
plete satisfaction. Its butter averages
five cents above Elgin prices. and
scores highest in the state tests. 1t is
managed entirely on a cooperative
plan. Shares are held by the farmers
who are its patrons A MANAGER and
assistants are hired. and also one of
the finest butter makers in the eoun-
try All are given good salaries so
they can afford to give all their time
and interest to it, writes Mrs.
George H. Harper of Litchfeld. Mich.
in Farm Life. They own good build
ings and first class equipments. Only
separator cream is accepted and cred
tied according to test Instructions
are given in care and feeding of dairy
cows and handling the milk. Cieanli-
ness is the watchword, and we all
know therein lies the first principle
for good butter
This creamery was capitalized at
$4,000, all paid in and has never made
any assessment Stockholders were
limited to farmers only. No one could
hold over 30 shares of stock at $40
per share and the maximum dividend
should be per cent. They have been
able to keep the cost of manufacture
down to Is cents per pound and pay
interest on investment.
Non-stockholders share in the same
privileges, only they receive no divi-
dends. settlement is made every
month with p&rons The buttermilk
for the year is sold to the highest bid
der
Stock salts. balanced rations, mix
lures. oil meal. fence posts and corn
are sold at cost to patrons.
Milking contests are held yearly
with selected COWS fed on balanced ra-
tons. This is open to all patrons and
is almost of equal benefit to every 9th
er farmer
Under the same management and Of
ficers, but conducted separately, we
have the Shippers association, for ham
ding live stock and produce. Before
organizing capable man was sent to
Buffalo Gour market4 and interviews
were held with various buyers and in
struetions received as to grading all
kinds of live stock so there should be
no mistakes
Patrons hold shares same as in the
creamery. Observation-Disclosures pay about
30 per cent for handling of their
stock and share in other regular ex-
penses.
The live stock is graded and
weighed at home yards and the own
ers tag is placed on it. So each man
is sure of getting the price his own
animals bring. There is sinking
fund for insurance. SO if any animal
dies or is injured it is fully paid for.
It has proved very satisfactory SO far
always netting more than the local
buyer could pay, as there is no middle
man to be paid No one will have any
losses to meet or risks to run, only he
is subject of course to the fluctuations
in price.

KAISER UNDER FIRE
"Berliner Tageblatt" Tells OF Attack
of Russian Aviators on Emperor.

The "Berliner Tageblatt" prints the
following anecdote about the Kaiser:
ION one Of his recent visits to the
headquarters Of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg on the eastern battle
front, Russian aviators apparently ad-
vised Of the presence of the Kaiser,
approached and began a hail Of bombs.
"The Kaiser stood only few hun
dred feet away talking with Won Hin
denburg and officers Of his staff. When
the whirr Of the motors first announced
the arrival Of the Russian airmen.
there was great CONSERVATION among
officers and men. Orders were hur-
riedly given for squadron of Saxon
ion airmen, who were stationed near
by for the protection Of the headquar-
tiers stan, 10 go up and attack the
enemy flyers.
"The Kaiser watched their prepare
tons and ascent, while bombs dropped
several hundred feet away.
AN anti-aircraft gun was brought
into action.
TOO low" exclaimed the Kaiser.
gazing intently at the burst of cloud
far up in the air.
Then, borrowing pair OF field
glasses from one Of the officers. he FOL
lowed every move Of the battle up in
the skies,
