RESTING IS CALLED FAlLACY
Profitable to Keep Soil Busy Growing Some Crop.

Those who practice resting the land instead of planting 1t to some legume should ponder well the result of an experiment at the Alabama experiment station.
 On a plot where velvet beans were grown the year before the yield of sorghum hay was 7.O64 pounds, while on similar land where no crop at all was grown the year before the yield of sorghum hay was only 3,792 pounds. Oats yielded 33.6 bushels per acre aft CT velvet beans and only s.4 bushels after crab grass and weeds.
 Idle or resting" acres are unprofit- able; the land should be kept busy growing a profitable or a sol improv- ing crop.

LOSSES HIT FARMERS
Cotton Growers Suffer by Inac-
 curate Grading of Staple.
Field Survey of Marketing in Repre-. sentative Towns in Nine Principal Producing States of South
 and Southwest

Irom the United States Department Of
 Agriculture.t
 That losses to cotton growers In the United States probably reached seven and a half million dollars in 1913-14 taken into account in the primary sales, and that in spite of tendency toward improved conditions since the promulgation of the official cotton standards of the United States the losses due to inaccurate grading are still great, are statements of special ists of the office of markets and rural organization of the U. s. department of agriculture, in Department Bulle- tin 451, recently published. The bulle- tin is based on a field survey of cot ton marketing in representative towns in the nine principal cOtton-producing states of the South and Southwest, in all of which general failure .ade- quate and consistently to 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 familiarize 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 baling and covering, and proper storage.

also were disclosed by the survey. Thus middling cotton of l 1-16-inch staple in certain market brought 13 cents a pound, while middling of 1b- inch staple at the same place and on the same day brought only 1905 cents. The latter cotton should have brought one-half cent more than that Of the shorter staple bale. Therefore, If the 1-16-inch bale brought its true value, the other bale sold for at least s17.5O below its real value. While all variations observed were not as great as this, wide differences were found in numerous instances in every state where investigations were con- ducted.
 Geographical Price Variations.
 Inconsistencies in the valuation of tiRged and stained cotton also were observed, the differences made in some cases between two bales of cot ton of the same grade on the same market being greater than the amount paid for the cheaper bale.
 The survey showed that for the same grades the prices paid were on the whole considerably greater in the eastern cotton states than in those west of the Mississippi. These dif- ferences. according to the specialists, were much greater than differences in freight rates to mills alone would &C., count for. The other factors in favor of the East are believed have been the direct purchase by mill buyers, the existence of good storage facili- ties, the availability of relatively cheap money, and the more general knowledge of grading among farmers due to longer establishment of cotton- growing in the section.
 The investigators found that the producer received an appreciable ad- vantage in prices when he was able to make round lot" sales of ten or more bales of cotton at time. It is sug- gested that stiIi greater advantages can be secured by selling where pos sihle in lots of bales of the same grade.

Great Variations Found.

The surveys conducted by the spe- :ialists showed great and inconsistent gsriatIons in prices paid for cotton of different grades. The average of prices On observed transactions in Alabama for one month, for example, was 1851 cents for strict good ordinary and 13.47 cents for strict good middling. the lat ter being six grades better than the former. The higher grade of cotton thus sold for 20 cents less per bale than that of the lower grade, when on the basis of New Orleans differences, 1t was actually worth s7.5O per bale more. The inconsistencies and differ ences were especially apparent among the higher grades above middling. This, the specialists feel, Is most un- fortunate since 1t shows a failure to recognize the value of improvement of cotton varieties by growers and in ef- feet puts premium on careless and indifferent farming.
 Marked differences in the prices paid for cotton of the same grade b the same markets on the same day

RICHM0ND COLLEGE

Yesterday at noon fifty students OF
Richmond college walked out on q
mess hall strike. declaring that they
would remain out until cooking con-
ditions at the establishment were
changed for the better. From informa-
ton gathered 1t seems that there Is no
scarcity OF food In the dining halls. and
there was no kick concerning the
quality served. but the objection lay
in the fact that the cooks used none
too much care in the preparation of 1T.
Fifty of the men yesterday morning
signed a petition asking that some
change be made. a copy of which was
presented TO the manager Of the re-
fectoryi and another referred 10 the

organization. The student senate i'm
passed upon the petition and
adopted resolutions recommending a
change in the preparation Of the food.
and then referred the whole matter to

HUN HORRORS SHOWN
BY CONSUL FROST
Ruthless Submarine warfare--Lu-
sitania Catastrophe Retold.

horrifed audience in the Jefferson
hotel auditorium listened yesterday
evening 10 the most gruesome account
of Germany's ruthless submarine war
fare ever related in Richmond, by
" esley Frost, former United states
consul at Queenstown. AS instances
of the most hideous and inhuman acts
Of the war were recited stereopticen
slides taken Of some wreckage or in
coming life boat, brought the horrors
TO life as an example of the HUNS
atrocities to America. These slides
included dead victims. men. women and
children. OF the Lusitania, wreckage OF
hospital ships and other dismal evil
dences OF Germany's VICTORIES" on the
high seas.
Air. Frost related the method OF at
tack of German submarine which,
after torpedoing ship waits until the
lifehoats are lowered and then Ares on
its occupants at close range, or takes
away the boats food and thus leaves
its occupants adrift many miles from
shore. Mr.. Frost stated that in the
earlier periods OF the war. German
submarines towed these boats to shore,
but at present 1t was not only the Gus
tom not to do so, but to wait until
the ship is several hundred miles from
shore before attacking 1t.
The favorite method of attack is to
cause a DObeT explosion WNiCn ooes

cases where the ocers of a submarine
