AGE LIMIT FOR HUNTING.

Just as the matter of age limit has
been applied to the issuance of Ii.
censes for driving automobiles, or In
other words. chauffeurs, just SO the
general adoption ON the license sys-
tenn for hunting has served to operate
with regard to applicants for hunting
licenses.
In Georgia 1t is against the law for
any one under 16 years of age to
drive an automobile, and no license
can be issued to any one under that
age for driving as a chauffeur.
Throughout nearly the whole coun-
try the license system for hunting is
now in vogue, and three restrictions
ere thrown around the issuance OF
hunting licenses. One restricts the
hunting license requirements for chill
dren; another refuses to issue IL
.censes to children; and yet another
requires children to have the written
consent of their parents or guardians
before license will be granted. In
fourteen states children are required
10 have license, the age requirement
varying from IL to 81 years. New
Jersey prohibits children under ten
years of age from hunting with fire.
arms, but allows them between the
ages Of 10 and IA to hunt with an adult
who is licensed to hunt.
At this time, the real beginning Of
the hunting season in Georgia, these
restrictions are most interesting AMI
serve to accentuate the necessity of
precaution In hunting during the com
ing season. 1t is a foregone conclus-
ion that it will not be very long be-
fore Georgia, South Carolina and
other Southern states will put the age
limit clause in their hunting license
laws, -Augusta Chronicle.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. ~
That losses to cotton growers in the
United States probably reached seven
and half million dollars in 1914
because grades were not probably
taken into account in the primary
sales, and that in spite of a tendency
toward improved conditions since the
PRONUNCIATION of the official cotton
standards of the United States the
losses due to inaccurate grading are
still great, are statements of special
lists of the Office of Markets and Rur-
al Organizations of the u. S. Depart.
ment of Agriculture, in Department
Bulletin Asst, recently published. The
bulletin is based on field survey of
cotton marketing in representative
towns in the nine principal cotton
producing states of the South ana
Southwest, in all of which a general
failure adequately and consistently 70
recognize grade differences was found
The specialists point out that cotton
producers themselves can have large
share in improving these conditions
The growers are urged to familarize
themselves with grades and to insist
that the proper classification be given
their bales by buyers. Emphasis is
also placed on the economic import
ance of securing proper ginning, ade-
quate bailing and covering, and proper
storage.
Great Variations Found.
The surveys conducted by the spec
ialists showed great and inconsistent
variations in prices paid for cotton o.
different grades. The average of pric-
es on observed transactions In Ala
bama for one month, for example, was
1851 cents for strict good ordinary and
13.47 cents for strict good middling,
the latter being six grades better than
the former. The higher grade of cot
ton thus sold for 20 cents less per
bale than that of the lower grade,
when on the basis of New Orleans diff
ferences it was actually worth $3.50
per bale more. The inconsistencies
and differences were especially appar-
ent among the higher grades above
middling. This, the specialists feel, is
most unfortunate since 1t shows fail
ure to recognize the value of i'm

CONvICTS TO PLANT COTTON.
They viii Cultivate 1900 Acres Of
Prison Farm.


McAlestcr, Okla.-Thirtecn hundred
acres of the state prison farm will be
planted to cotton this year. All work
except the overseeing of the labor will
be done by prisoners.
The land OH which this cotton will be
produced WAS few years ago merely
rocky and waste. Hills rock covered
and eroded by rains and gullics deeply
cut by spring floods surrounded the
concrete walls of the pcnitcntary.
Hard labor and careful management
have changed the surface to Il rolling.
well drained seed bed.
Rocks were removed from the Sur.
face. Gullics were filed up after
drains had been laid. Dams and riprap
were emplaccd to hold back the fine
soil carried down by showers.
In the coming year almost the entire
acreage will be devoted to cotton. Of
the land still rocky ana uninprovctl
hog and cattle pastures have been
made. Bermuda grass is spreading
and before many years ut the present
rate of development enough beef and
dairy supplies will be produced to feed
the convicts.
