COTTON GROWERS FEAR
INFLUENCE OF BUYERS
Form League to Combat Alleged In
huence Of Brokers and
Manufacturers.

New Orleans, May 19.-At a Sc
cret meeting here of cotton growers
representing 100000 acres of cot
ton producing land, the American
Cotton Growers league was organ
lied, designed to combat what was
alleged to be "a strong influence
brought to bear by representatives
of cotton brokers and New England
manufacturers" on the proceedings
of the conference assembled here to
consider the organization of a $780,
100000 exports corporation.
A committee was appointed, com.
posed of A. Alan Breen, Bayminette
Ala; George f. Haskins, Mobile;
Harvey w. Swayne, Atlanta; w. F.
Work, Houston, Tex, and Justin
Fair. Montgomery, Ala, empowered
to work out plans to meet the al
legged influence"
Announcement that the growers
had organized was made by one OF
the members of committee, who ex.
pressed the belief that "the death
kne'l OF the speculator in the cotton
producing world may have been
sounded" by the organization of the
league.

LAND BOOM ON
 IN NORTHWEST
By HOLLAND.


 New York, June a.-Cspecial.)-It may be that the tide of emigration from the United States to the great agricultural sections of British North America will be checked, if not entirely stopped. through the realization of those who would cultivate farms in regions where the summers are brief and the winters long and very bleak, that in our own far northwest virgin soil in abundance can be found and only awaits development and possibly better transportation. For already reports are reaching New York that movement is under way in the far northwest which gives promise of so greatly and rapidly increasing IS to jus tify the use of the term formerly familiar in the agricultural sections, a land boom" Certainly such movement is un- der way in South Dakota, where the citi4 zens have taken heed of it and are re- ioiced, but little notice of it has oc- cured elsewhere.
 More and more eagerly those who are seeking new lands are penetrating South Dakota in the hope of securing some. De- niand has begun and that has been fol- lowed by the inevitable increase in price Nevertheless the price has not deterred those who are anxious to buy land and all the indications point to q considerable. perhaps very greater, enlargement of az ricultural industry in that state which is of great area and also rich in natural resources
 Two or three years ago had it been re- ported that land in central South Da- kota had been sold for $100 an acre or even more, that fact would have been spoken of as reflecting a brief and in- l.,, ,l-fi -fc which have come from that state tell of sales of land in central South Dakota for as much as S100 an acre. and in some cases even more. Much of this land is virgin soil, although some of it has been improved. The movement points to a large development of the land market, probably consequent upon readjustments which are now everywhere in the United States, noticeably in the south, in pro- gress.

SUMMER MAGIC

By Almonte c. Howell. Heat, oppressive and still. Enfolds the broad expanse Of valley and hill
 In it's whitening glance. No pleasant stirring of breeze Whispers it's silent song Through fluttering trees Or dances through grasses long. The distance shimmers and shakes In the quivering air. And scarce an insects hum breaks The silence everywhere. The magic of summer days, Short lived and few. Is in the shinmering rays Of the sun in the dome of blue. And life is calm and sweet Tn the light of the sun. While stilled are the hurrying feet Till the spell is done.
  If Is known that upon many Of the sumnits of the high mountain ridges or the Hawaiian islands, in the regions or heavy rainfall, are open bogs which sup port a peculiar and interesting flora. Many species form more or less hemis- pherical tussocks which rise above the general level of the bog. A showy slobei- la with numerous large cream colored flowers as much as three and hall inches long, peculiar violets and a sun dew are found there.

THE LAND BOOM

But this land boom, for it is almost ap- propriate thus to speak of it, is not con fired to South Dakota It is represented by considerable activity in the land mar kets of Minnesota This is not specula- tive if the reports which we have re- ceived are correct. It represents the spirit of development and reflects a tendency towards greater and greater agriculture, especially wheat, in the northwest. In Minnesota much of the land which has been brought in this way into the mar ket is so-caIled "raw acreage" That is to say, the land has been bought by those who purpose cultivating it, although some of it has already been brought into cul- tivation.
 Those in the northwest who have been watching this movement now feel justi- fled in predicting that within a year or two these improved lands, hitherto un- cultivated, will cause a new record to be made in the harvest returns in the northwest
