Purpose in Her Soma.

Betty was spending the summer at
Aunt Hates, where Mary, the eldest
daughter, was her special favorite.
When Mary announced one day that
she was going away for a visit Betty
was quite inconsolable, and as the time
drew near for her departure she went
about looking sad and doleful. How
ever, just as the car drove up to the
door to take Mary to the station, Betty
began to sing at the top of her voice.
Mary turned laughingly to her and
said, II don't believe you feel so very
bad, after all, that am going away,
If you can sing like that" Said Betty,
in the most pathetic way, "I'se just
singing to keep the tears away"

Are Planning Gradual
Cotton Marketing
Movement

Atlanta, Ga, June 25.-The depart
ments of agriculture of the cotton
states are planning gradual cotton
marketing movement, in anticipation
of the new crop, which gives promise
of being the most effective yet tried.
This plan, which will be developed
at the coming meeting of the Cotton
States Official Advisory Marketing
Board at New Orleans, La, on July
/, contemplates the appointment of
committee of three we'll known farm
ers in every militia district in each
cotton state, whose duties will be to
secure pledges from all cotton pro-
ducers that they will not market more
than 20 per cent of their crop in any
one month.
1t is proposed to due care of dis
tress" cotton. In cases where entire,
or practically entire, crops are mort
gagged, the state market bureau will
seek to find ways and means to carry
1t, in order that it may not go to
market any more rapidly than other
cotton. 1t is believed this can be
arranged in the vast majority of
cases without difficulty.
Any cotton producer is, of course,
at liberty to hold his cotton Just as
long as he wants to. The plan simply
contemplates holding it back to the
extent stated by pledge, and then
longer if the owner desires.
Mills general, over the country, pre-
fer buying their cotton along as they
need it, instead of having to take it
all in the fist three months OF the
season. May of them have frankly
stated they could afford to pay more
for it, if they could get it as needed
instead of having to buy and store
for the entire year. The plan has
been widely approved and steps will
be taken to have it we'll in operation
before the openig of the new cotton
season.

of planting winter wheat, is the urg-

LiIy's Rapid Growth,

The great water lily of the botanic
gardens in London usually has long
season. In the spring it disappears
beneath the water of it's tank.
How the lily vanishes and is re.
produced is explained by Mr.. North,
the curator. The thick root stock
gradually rots away and the fruits,
which are about the size of baseball,
remain at the bottom of the tank.
They are fished up in the spring and
the seeds are extracted. A single seed,
though no larger than a pea, will in
four months produce plant that will
cover an area Of 1000 feet. In its ma
tive district, the Amazon, the Victoria
Regia is largely used by the natives as
food. 1t grows on the lagoons and is
perennial.

Peas for Forage

The Georgia Market Bureau, under
direction of of L. B. Jackson, is urg-
ing the general planting of peas for
forage, in the confident belief that it
can find ready market for every ton
of peavine hay grown. In his week
ly market bulletin Director Jackson
says:
I'm view of the surplus stock of
peas, every farmer should sow all
Stubble or idle land in peas for hay.
There has never been a surplus of
well cured peavine hay. There is no
better forage grown in the South And
this burau feels sure we can secure a
market for every ton. In addition, it
will build up your SOIL"
