TWO FOUND GUILTY
Of STEALING COWS

Jasper and George E. Antoine,
white, were found guilty last night in
the court of record of two counts
in the information which had been
filed against them. The first count
charged them with larceny of COWS
and concealing stolen property. They
were not sentenced.
Dave Goldsby, a negro who was in
dicted jointly with the two white
men, was acquitted, and of course
was discharged from custody. The
evidence did not connect him with
the theft.
This case occupied practically all
day in the court of record, and it was
after o'clock in the afternoon when
Judge C. NJ. Jones delivered his able
charge to the jury. Within another
hour the verdict was returned.
Other Business.
One defendant pleaded guilty in the
court of record yesterday morning
and the sentence in the cases of two
others was suspended. Fred Faux
was the defendant pleading guilty
to a charge of gambling, and was
fined So or 45 days. The case of
Agnes Harrison and Louise VIM
were suspended.

BICYCLE RIDER HAS
| NARROW ESCAPE

Emory Washington, a boy about IS
years of age, was slightly hurt whe0
struck by a truck driven by Enos
Cook, and said to have been the
property of Angelettos Bros, on West
LaRua street. The boy, residing at
1915 North F street, had narrow
escape from serious injuries, as he
was riding bicycle and when near
the intersection of Coyle and Jack
son streets, came in contact with the
truck. 1t was at first thought his
injuries were of a serious nature.
Officers investigating the accident
concluded that the truck driver was
not to blame for the trouble, and eff
fected no arrests.

The cost Of cotton production is
greatly increased hy the prevailing
credit system. owing 10 the high cost
OF supplies and the reduction Of the
FARMERS ambition and efficiency. The
change from credit 10 q cash system
now going on is great gain for good
farming and should be encouraged.
The common practice Of renting land
for 8 share Of the crop greatly
hinders the adoption OF improved
methods. Ii means Instead Of the CON
unuous planting Of cotton without at
tenUion TO seed selection or soil i'm
provement When the owner cannot
operate his farm himself. he should
retain strict oversight over the work
done by his tenant and provide.
through written contract. for a Spe-
cited system Of rotation and seed Sc
lection.
If the period Of renting were three or
five years instead Of one, there would
be more incentive for the tenant TO
build mp the soil. The owner who
keeps his land in a high state Of cul-
tivation has no difficulty in securing
the best class of tenants.
There is a tendency among cotton
buyers IN pay an average price for all
grades OF Sea Island cotton. especially
in the smaller markets. This means
that good cotton brings less than its
value. and inferior or dirty cotton too
much. This practice IS an injustice "a
the farmer who produces superior
article and il tends 10 discourage him
from selecting for quality. Unless
buyers are willing TO pay fun value for

respect except TO secure larger yields

interior. cotton is grown only where
there is suitable drainage. On the
other hand. q liberal and regular sup
ply OF water is needed. and wherever
cotton is planted on the dry hills in

quality of the staple On the Sea Is
lands. fields having an ocean exposure
are said TO produce q finer and CLOS
sier staple on account Of the moisture
laden ocean breeZeS. and in the inte-
rior one advantage Of the lower lands
Is doubtless their moist air. which is
conserved by protecting forests and
nearby swampS. In the absence of
sufficient moisture in the air the staple
becomes harsh and shorter This is
further shown by the fact that wet
season is more favorable 10 Sea Island
than 10 Upland cotton, wh.,e the
Upland varieties do better in a dry
season. The relative production Of
Upland and Sea Island cotton in the
northern counties fuctuates with the
season and the changes in acreage due
to varying market conditions.
The mixing of seed and the hy-
bridizing which result from planting
cotton of both types in the same com
munity are q serious handicap TO the
growers of Sea Island cotton. In this
respect portions of Florida where only
Sea Island cotton is grown possess a
marked advantage and the introduc-
ton of Upland varieties should be dis
eouraged.
In addition TO the effect of the high
prices in stimulating the industry and
Of low prices in depressing It, a factor
which must be considered in connec-
ton with the production of cotton in
either old or new sections is the sup
ply Of available labor. Until present
methods are reyoludonized a relative
" large amount Of fairly cheap labor
Is required. and it is a great advantage
If the Iaborers have had long expert
ence with the crop, Throughout the
Sea Island cotton belt there IS now q
growing scarcity OF labor. which is
likely TO restrict the acreage planted.
The farmers must meet the new con-
ditions by the adoption Of labor-saving
machinery in planting and in culuva-
ton. but there will continue TO be diff
fculty In getting the cotton picked.
