STATES ENTER PROTEST.
Senators and Representatives II
Conference.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Senators
and representatives from the South
ern cotton growing States at separate
conferences today named a joint COM
mittee to protest to President Wilson
against the fixing of prices for raw
cotton. An effort will be made to
arrange for a conference at the White
House Monday.
A meeting of the members of con-
gress resulted from the formal an
"nouncement yesterday by the presi-
dent that basic prices for the various
grades of cotton will be fixed if this
should be found necessary after the
committee to be named by the war
industries board has completed it's in
vestigation into the general cotton
situation. In the meantime, the
president said, a committee of three
is to be set up to purchase cotton for
the government and the allies at
prices to be approved by Mr.. Wilson.
Cotton broke sharply on the ex-
changes today as a result of the
presidents announcement, but later
there was a considerable recovery.
On the New Orleans market the price
fell about S11.5O bale, or about $3.50
for than the rise early this month
after the department of agriculture's
forecast had shown a decrease of
about 100000 bales in the yield
for this season. Decision of the gov
eminent to name the committee of
inquiry was announced soon after
the forecast was made public.
Senators participating in the con-
ference today said there is no authori-
ty for the president or any govern
ment agent to fix prices and that this
authority could come only from con-
gress. They added that congress had
no intention of enacting such legisla-
ton.
The senate committee is composed
of Smith, of South Carolina, Smith, OF
Georgia, Randell. of Louisiana, Shep.
pard, of Texas, Simmons, of North
Carolina, and Underwood, of Ala

War has given the sheep and wool
industry a stupendous task. The wool
producedin this country furnishes only
about SO per cent Of the amount used
here by wooden mills in peace times;
the war has increased the demand for
wool, and Of course accentuates our de-
pendence upon supplies from foreign
countries. The war has further In
creased the perplexity Of the domestic
situation by making unavailable GER

HOW TO BREAK BRooDY FOWL

Water to Drink.

When hens become broody and 1T is
not desired to allow them to hatch

as quickly as possible. The sooner this
is done the sooner they will resume
laying. To break a hen Of broodiness

be fed or not, as desired. Not much
difference will be found in the time
required to break her Of broodiness
whether she is fed or made to fast.
Usually three to six days of confine-
ment will do the work, but some hens
require ten to twelve days. The broody
hen will be recognized by her inclina-
ton to stay on the nest at night, the
rufiipg of her feathers and her de-
sire to pick anyone who approaches
her, and by the clucking noise she
makes.

income. Such a system requires long
credits in the community.
2. The market for dairy products
fluctuates very little year by year as
compared with other farm products.
3. Through the return Of manure to
the land the fertility and physical on
dition of the soil may be maintained
at a high level and crops increased.
Even after many years a properly
maintained dairy farm has constantly
increasing crop yields instead Of de-
creasing ones.
4. In dairying, labor may be utilized
at a more uniform rate throughout the
year, for example, may have4to employ
much additional labor ut harvest time,
but so far as the dairy Is concerned the
dairyman has about the same duties
to perform every month Of the year.
Thus less help is required se~asonally
and permanent employees may be
kept.
S. Through the dairy COW many un-
salable roughages may be transformed
into products from which cash may be
realized. Grass. hay, co%rn-fodder and
other roughage which may not have a
ready sale are economically utilized by
the dairy cow. Land which is not
suitable for cultivation can be utilized
for p%asturage for dairy COWS.

is preferable to build more open, and
consequently less expensive, houses in
the South than in the North. The best
site for the poultry house depends prin-
cipally on the local conditions. The
location should have good water and
air drainage, so that the floor and
yards will be dry, while the house
should not occupy Il low pocket or hol-
low in which cold air settles, and it
should be situated for convenience In
management and adapted to the avail
able land. Wherever possible a south
ern or southeastern exposure should
be selected, although this is not essen
tial if there is any good reason for fac
ing the house in a different direction.
Poultry can be raised successfully on
any w%ell-drained soil. A light loan

adapted for this purpose, while a very

the green feed for the fowls kept on
such a soil will have to be purchased.
A heavy clay or adobe soil Is not as
we'll adapted to poultry raising, as
such land does not drain readily. and
It is much more difficult to keep the
stock healthy. Long stationary houses,
or the intensive system, saves steps,
but it is easier to keep the birds healthy
and to reproduce the stock under the
colony system, where the birds are al
lowed free range. Breeding stock, and
especially growing chickens, Should
have an abundance Of range, while
hens used solely for the production Of
market eggs may be kept on a very
small area with good results. The col.
ony house system necessitates placing
the houses, holding about 100 hens,
from 200 to 25O feet apart, so that the
stock will not kill the grass. The col
ony system may be adapted to severe
winter conditions by drawing the col
ony houses together in a convenient
place at the. beginning Of winter, thus
reducing the labor during these months.

ing-glory.
Where it is feasible to conflne sheep,
goats or hogs to very restricted areas
for n or more seasons, they will in
most cases completely kill perennial
weeds. Where it is not practicable
to Craze sufficiently close to entirely
destroy perennials, the grazing still
greatly weakens the root system Of
these plants, making it IN easy task
to complete the destruction by culti-
walton.
Smother crops.-Thick stands and
vigorous growths of smother crops
may be depended on to keep down the
top growth Of perennials. The most
commonly used smother crops are al
falfa, buckwheat, soy beans, millet,
sorghum and bur clover. Some weeds
are more susceptible to this treatment
than others. Bermuda grass may be
eradicated by a continuous succession
of smother crops. Alfalfa, where 1t
succeeds we'll, is the most effective
smother crop, largely because II COM
bines frequent clipping with the
smothering effect. 1t may be relied
upon to reduce greatly or even to Grad
fcate entirely most perennials except
some Of the grassy weeds. In the case
of smother crops, as with pasturing,
the principal value is to weaken the
root systems Of perennials, which ia
c%ilitates the work Of cultivation which
is to follow.
Moving or cutting.-Cutting off re-
peatedly the tops Of perennial weeds
with a mower, scythe Or other tool
may sometimes be used to advantage.
This Is of most use on pastures, road
sides and other uncultivated places. 1t
has been found that moving twice a
year for two years will eradicate the
fern brake, n of the bad weeds of
pastures in New England and New
York.

Other Observation-Disclosures perennial
weeds occupy very limited areas it is
often practicable to prevent further
spread by covering the infested area
with building paper, taking care to lap
over and weight down the ends so as
to exclude all sunlight. Building pa

New York.-The weather prophets
and the fashion prophets do not go
through life hand In hand. There is
no ~cordiality between them, It would
seem, judging from the way in which
they oppose each other, observes a
leading fashion writer.
You may have noticed this situation

the state Of the weather than the state
of fashions; but those who must deal
with the latter MS a daily issue, and
must try to conform the output Of
fashions with the output Of the sky,
deplore the separation.
The utter audacity that women have
shown since the beginning Of time in
regard to the caprices Of the weather
is a part of the history of the civili-
cation of man.. To return to that fig
leaf 1t was probably the only time in
history when the climate was met with
the right sort of costume. Since then,
the world Of women has gone on the
path that suggests obstinacy.
Take. as an example Of the pervers-
ity Of the present moment, the incom-
ing fashion of25-inch sleeves at a time
when kid gloves are difficult to pay
for. The women Of today, we are quite
sure. have no idea Of attempting the
methods Of the directoire by going
about the streets with entirely bare
arms. Josephine. the empress of the
French, may have believed that the
short sleeve was correct for her time;
but this is a workday world, full Of the
rush and impetus Of activity-and
open-air activity at that. We might
have a chance of looking like a group
let loose from a boiler factory at mid
day in August, If we rushed about the
streets with our athletic and Slightly

to the pleasure a woman thinks she
will find in wearing her old clothes.
We are wise enough to know that it is
in. the adoption of changing details
that the majority Of women show their
knowledge Of fashions. A woman may
continue to wear a blue serge gown
cut in the form Of a coat and skirt,
If she realizes that she must instantly
adapt that gown to the tight or the
loose cuff, the high or the low waist
line, the gather or the plain hip. A
somersault in costumery is not always
followed, even by well-dressed women,
but they will do honor to a quick
change in the minor detail of a cos
tune.
A million women wear sailor collars
when they come into fashion, although
they may attach them to a gown that
has the wrong line in certain places.
These million women drop sailor col
lars when they go out Of fashion and
take up the long, rolling Tuxedo collar
when it becomes the dominant feature.
Therefore, when sleeves change
women change with them. Whatever
else the costume reflects that is wrong
or right, good or bad, It nearly always
keeps pace with the change in the arm
covering and in the neckline.
In summing up the situation Of to-
day, one feels sorry for the woman
who would try to keep up with the
shifting kaleidoscope of sleeve that the
designers have turned upon us.
