PLANTING COTTON SEED
WILL BE SCARCE

The State Department Of Agrlcul-
ture is receiving many letters asking
where cotton seed may be bought for
next years planting. =,
These inquiries come as result
of excessive rains which have ruined
the terminating qualities OF many
thousands of tons Of seed and unless
farmers get their cotton seed now
and store them, il is almost certain
that no enough seed can be had next
spring to plant a normal acreage.
Therefore, we are writing this let
ter to the members Of the farmers in
stitutes. urging them to buy their
cotton seed this fall, if they need any,
for fear that they may not be able
to buy them at all next spring.
Again. if you have good sound
seed for sale, write I. s. Minter, Di-
rector of Bureau of Markets, Austin,
giving him the variety, quantity and
quality Of the seed you have for
sale and he will list your offering in
the Market Journal free and other
wise assist you in finding a market
for same.
II you wish to buy cotton seed for
next years planting, write Mr.. Min
ter and he will give you a list Of
those who may have seed for sale.
Bear in mind that we do not han
die any ones money nor the seeds Of
fered. We simply put the buyer
and seller in direct communication
with each other.
We would appreciate any assist
ance that any local newspapers may
give by publishing this letter, and
thus assist the farmers in the sec
tions where said papers go to buy or
sell their cotton seed.
Sincerely yours,
j. w. NELL,
Director Of Farmers Institutes

Director Of Bureau Of Markets

EMPEROR
CONSIDERS FATE
OF HIS PROPERTY
Consults With DIR. Kriege
Over His Castles and
Other Estates

Amerongcn, July THE former
German emperor has been discussing
his financial problems for more than
a week with DIR. ]. Kriege, who has
been in charge of of the imperial
estates and funds in Germany since
the Hohenzollern abdication.
DR.. Kriege, one of the former
German functionaries of the Ger
man foreign office, has been here IN
conference with Herr H~ohenzollern
when the latter was not engaged in
wood saving. The marshal of the
German emperor's court, Won Con-
tard, also participated in the dis
cussions.
Has Plenty of Money
The former emperor is not short
of money, as he possessed a consid-
cradle amount on deposit in Holland
before war began. This was added
to appreciably while hostilities were
in progress. During the few stirring
weeks preceding his a%bdication. VIII
liam and his followers transferred
further large sums in ready cash.
But William is troubled as to the
fate of his real estate. He possessed
~ eiioi MY live CdSllpS, n1nI-
ing boxes and country seats scattered
over the empire. The revenues of
these properties are for the present
at least in the hands of the new gov
eminent, which hitherto has paid
from their proceeds all Herr Ho-
henzollern's bills. forwarded to Ber-
lin for settlement. These accounts
have been quite formidable. as the
imperial refugee is called upon to
a for everything he as
well as for his accommodation and
the upkeep of his suite. besides paw
ing the wages of the gardeners and
dom estes of the Bentinck estate
who render him services while wood
cutting or in the h~ou~ehold.
The expenses of the Dutch guard
of gendarmes on duty around the
castle also fall on the Hohenollern
purse.
Future Of Property Unknown
The German governments inten-
tons concerning the former emper-
or's private fortune cannot be
cleaned here. Germans recently from
the Fatherland declare there is a
great deal of purely personal sym
pathy for William among all classes
and that it is likely he will receive
a large portion of the value of what
he owned. They say it is probable
that most of the castles and country
houses will he sold and the cash re-
suit paid to williams account. but a.
number of them may he retained as
government property to be used for
the purposes of local government

Wild COWS ARE
BECOMING PEST
IN MICHIGAN |
Cats Also Take To Wild Life
and Residents Go Cunning
For Them.
fBy The Associated Press. }


Marquette, Mich. Dec. 2:-Wila
cows andWild house cats are proving
to be troublesome tramps IN Baraga
county this winter, Residents Of the
county have had to shoot cats in past
years but this is the first autumn that
man went cunning for cows.
A small herd of cattle escaped from
the county infirmarv last summer. The
cows made their way into the woods
ID decided to become wild. After
they smashed fences and damaged
other property, property owners in
that district also became wild. It was
decided to shoot the mscreants.
Keeper Eifman, Of the infirmary,
led a party into the woods and after
two hours search located, the COWS.
The bovines fled at the approach of
the hunters but not being endowed
with the agility Of gazelles, the ami
mails did not make satisfactory pro-
gress. When the ;lnnt was over the
bag totalled three dead cows.
Many of the wild cats in this dis
trict are said to have been brought tc
lumber camps to reduce the rat sup
ply. When the camps were closed the
tame cats were forced to shift for
themselves. Hunters and guides liv-
ing in this region declare that the off
spring of these cats can seldom be
tanned.
