 on the Yuma reclamation project and in the Imperial Valley of California.
 In the cotton belt proper, the short ness of the season and the presence ot the boil weavil will, it is believed, pre- vent Egyptian cotton from ever be- ing profitable. With 3Oo,000 acres under irrigation in the Salt River Val ley, however, a well-baIanced agricu1- ture could devote 50,O00 to Egyptian cotton and it is not unreasonable to expect that this land enriched by aI- falfa and managed by skillfuI farm CTS should produce an average of a bale an acre.

South America. is, one of the most Interesting subjects of discussion at the present time in view of the trade. political, and other relations of it's countries with the United States of America Many of the manufac- turers of Bridgeport have direct trade relations, others indirect, and there are but few of the products of this city which at some time or another do not ind their way to this great continent to the south of us- Few of the peo- pie Of Bridgeport, however, have an adequate idea of what this great con tfnent is. of it's people, its needs and the opportunities which exist for trade and development of relations. A man who knows, Albert Leonard Squier, who has visited every part of that great continent and made study of it's conditions and people, will tell the people of Bridgeport about it in two lectures to be delivered at the seventh annual mid-winter session of the Bridgeport Chautauqua assembly to be held at the Casino in State Street, February IA to IS inclusive.
 MT. Squier's two lectures are enti- tied South America To-day which will be delivered Tuesday evening, February IS, and South America To-. morrow" which will be delivered du- ring the afternoon of February 16 at 2:3O o'clock. a Both of these lectures will be illustrated with hundreds of pictures secured by MT. Squier during his travels, and will show more clearly than columns of descriptive matter what kind of people, and what kind of neighbors the people of the South ern Continent are.
 The information for these two 1ec- lures was obtained by MT.

Valuable Horses Bitten In Rantings of Rabies-Smitten
 Animal. SCHOOL CHILDREN
 KEPT OFF STREETS Pedestrians and Drivers Desert Highways Through Fear
 of Bites.
(special to The Farmer.)


 Newtown, Feb. IA strange dog, l1n1nuzzled, roamed through the Han over section Wednesday and for sew eral hours caused a panic among the farmers It snarled at every dog along its route, crossed fences in pur- suit of cattle in yards and enclosures, and showed every symptom of the rabies.
 The telephones spread the alarm, and children were hastily ordered into their homes by the terrified parents, and the highways were deserted. by teams, so far as their owners could be put on guard. The school children were deprived of recess, and were not permitted to return to their homes by the teacher until their elders came to escort them. Word was sent to the center for help to hunt down the animal
 R. F. D. Carrier Nichols failed to despatch the dog which eluded him. It was afterwards shot by both Edgar Northrop and Michael Cavenaugh by a volIey from shotguns, while the dog was charging directly for them. Then 1t transpired that a delivery horse for Corbett & Grove, merchants of Sandy Hook, and another delivery horse be- longing to the firm of Taylor & Curtis, of the Brick store in Sandy Hook, had also been bitten. Clerks of both firms were making their weekly trips to this section and were close to- gether when the dog hove in sight. Both made a threatening outcroy, and were not themselves attacked.
 The head of the animal has been sent to the state laboratory for exam ination. The horses bitten are vaIua- b1e ones. and undoubtedly will be killed if the examination of the dog shows the presence of rabies. In the meantime their owners have secured them against possible infection of others, or of humans.

Growers of Egyptian
 Cotton Are Aided

A larger proportion of the Egyp- tian cotton now used in this country should be home grown, say specialists in the U. s. Department of Agricu1- ture The varieties raised in Egypt are liable to marked deterioration. through intercrossing and a number of pests in particular the pink boil worm, cause wide fluctuations in the total production from year to year. It seems unsafe, therefore, for Ameri- can manufacturers to depend for their raw material entirely upon Egypt.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Ninety-three
rrade crossings of the Southern Rail,
ways Washington-Atlant line have

Thirty eight were supplanted by

In all construction work the fixed

important highway crossings wherev-
er practicable This policy means
arge additional expense which is I'M

much as its resources and other obli-
