EUROPEAN NEWS AND VIEWS.

The difficulties which the ancient
builders of the Tower of Babel ex-
%perienced with the language may be
easily understood by anyone who has
spent a little time in Basrah. Not
the least of the many problems pre-
sented for solution to the British
authorities in their operations against
the Turks has been this same problem
which the contractors for the old tow
er wrestled with many centuries ago.
The dialects in common use at Bas-
rah are said to be over forty in num-
Der. The most popular is Arabic, but
it is not Arabic of Egypt or Morocco;
it is a distinct tongue, with which the
Egyptians or Moroccan experiences
the greatest difficulty. Then there
is Persian, with variations known as
Bagdad- Persians, Nejd-P ersians and
Bssrah-Persians Turkish is frequent
ly heard, while Aremenian and Chald-
can are the languages of the native
Christian population. Kurdish is used
by another section of the inhabitants,
while Hindustani is the language of
the Indian troops forming part of the
British forces.
1t is obvious in such a situation

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.

Crrom the United States Department of
 Agrieulture)
 That losses to cotton growers in the United States probably reached seven and half million dollars in 1913-14 because grades were not properly taken into account in the primary sales, and that in spite of a 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 457. recently published. The bulle- tin is based on 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 a general failure ade- qvate and consistently to recognize grade differences was found.
 The specialists point out that cotton producers themselves can have a 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 ance of securing proper ginning. ade- quate baling and covering, and proper storage.

 As result of the new order the total area of released territory has reached 3O9.1S6 square miles. The area originally quarantined in 1906 was 72S,543 square miles.

RESTING IS CALLED FALLACY
Experiments Prove That 1t Is More Profitable to Keep Soil Busy
 Growing Some Crop.

Those who practice resting the land instead of planting it 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 7,064 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.
