Because there is such wide difference between

would advise all producing interests not to use
the future cotton market as hedge against spot

PLANT OTHER FOOD AND FEED
CROPS. Do not put all your eggs in one
basket. Plant other crops besides cotton.
Putting everything into cotton has been
one of the mistakes that the old South al

FOREIGN DEMAND IS OPENING UP.
Cotton is worth at least 30c pound basis
midding or more. The logic of the facts
prove it. Before the war the world was
taking from fourteen to fifteen million
bales of American cotton. For the last
four years the South produced from eleven
to twelve million bales annually, or a
shortage of about three million bales a
year. This shortage, of course, was offset
by lessened demand from Europe.

YOU ARE ENTITLED TO COST PRICE.
You are entitled to get back the money
you paid out to raise your cotton, aside
from the rightness Of holding your cotton
until you get what you think it is worth,
facts all go to show that you will get it if
you hold it. If the owners of cotton listen
to all the rumors and bearish dope" of
the spinners who are trying TO scare the
weak cotton holders and shake out enough
cotton to give them a supply at cheap
prices, of course cotton will go down. But
if they sit tight in the boat and hold their
cotton they will get their money.

Tuesday by Secretary Baker. who APP
peared before the house military COM

Congress did not give US enough
money to permit holding together
such an army as we recommended"
declared the secretary, cor money
enough for the army authorized by
law. You made appropriations for
$4,000 men and we have over 700,-
600 men now. After September 80,
we must get down to 225,000 to keep

CHRISTOPHER RAID ON
Not Since 1913 Has There Been Such
a Need for Action.

Manhattan. July %. Another
grasshopper raid in Kansas-and the
fight is on. Not since 1913 has there
been the need for such a campaign
against the hoppers. At that time a
thousand tons of poison were used.
This year almost twice that amount
has been ordered, and the work has
just begun.
County agents of IL counties in
southwestern Kansas, meeting with f.
c.. Kelly and H. H. Nininger, of the
entomology department, and Karl
Knaus, of the county agent leader
office, Kansas State Agricultural col
lege, at Dodge City last, week reported
the grasshopper situation as very seri-
Gus in the territory south and west
of Larned. Ford county is in the heart
of the infested area.
Many of these counties have already
organized for poisoning the hoppers,
and others are taking steps to organ
lie, in order that township trustees
may petition county commissioners to
furnish the poison, as provided by the
recently enacted grasshopper law
Plans were made to conduct general
poisoning campaign Immediately over
college has placed six men in the field
to assist during the next two weeks in
organizing those counties which do
not have county agents.
Where the poison has already been
distributed the grasshoppers are prac-
tically under control. Comanche,
Meade. Clark, Finney, Gray, Hodge,
man, Edwards, and Ford counties have
placed orders for white arsenic
amounting to from to tons each,
and Comanche has placed an order
