CATFISH CLIMB 1S FEET

An interesting account of the
climbing catfish of Colombia (Arges
marmoratus) was published a few
years ago by R. D. o. Johnson. These
fish can climb, by means of suction
apparatus, not only up the steeply in
clined bed of a mountain torrent, but
even up a smooth, vertical surface.
Mr.. Johnson saw some of them climb
a vertical distance of eighteen feet
in half an hour, up wall of rock
over which trickled thin film of wa
ter, says "The Scientific American" !"
In connection with a recent publ
cation of this article in Natural
History" G. K. Noble states that 9TH
er species of fish are known to
climb in the same manner. Several
of these occur in the Himalaya. Ne
machilus rupicola, and perhaps other
species of mountain cyprinids, adhere
to the rocks by means of their smooth
ventral skin and enlarged lips. The
silurid genera Pseudecheneis and Gly-
ptosternum cling by means Of a we'll
developed abdominal sucker.
The mountain torrents of the
HimaIaya form the nursery for many
species of frogs. Their tadpoles, like
the fish, have become adapted to
their location; some cling by means
of their lips and ventral musculature
while others possess a we'll developed
ventral sucker.

TO CARE FOR DISTRESS COTTON
South Carolina Cotton Association
Outlines Plans and Offers Sug
gestions to Farmers.

Columbia, July 5.-At a meeting
of the board of directors of the South
Carolina Cotton Association Thurs
day, J. Skottowe Wannamaker, D.
M. Crosson, T. H. Tuten, G. L. Toole
and W. O. Tatum were appointed a
committee to prepare an address to
the people of South Carolina on the
situation as if affects cotton today.
This committee has issued the fol!
lowing address:
"At a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of South Carolina Division
of the American Cotton association
on July /, request was read from
the great commercial paper OF Eng
land, the Manchester Guardian, that
a detailed statement be sent covering
the production of cotton in America
and the various matters bearing
thereon, and the ability of America
to furnish sufficient increase of cot
ton to fill the wants of the world war,
it being plainly stated that the
world will need an enormous in
creased supply of American cotton ;
and that every legitimate line of the

cotton industry is intensely uneasy,
following five consecutive crops with
the certainty of a short crop this
wear. The statement issued by the
census bureau of the agricultural
department shows during the present
year there has been an enormous de-
crease in the available supply of cot
ton, the demands for raw cotton ex-
ceeding the supply to a greater ex-
tent than at any time IN the last so
years, plainly pointing out the GER
tainty of cotton famine.
"We believe that the time is at
hand for the farmer to take stock
and find where he is as to his prers-
ent holdings of cotton and the crop
that is soon to be gathered. With five
successive short crops and with the
certainty of another short crop in
1920, it is unthinkable to the average
man that manipulators and gamblers
in cotton can depress the price two
and three cents a pound per week
but such are the facts.
"The enormous increased cost in
production of cotton receives serious
consideration of the boarc, it being
clearly shown that the present crop
will be by far the most costly crop
produced and that cotton for future
delivery is being sold on the New
York exchange far below the cost of

To Care For Distress Cotton.
"Plans have been perfected by the

largely members of and stand behind

distress cotton, and both the small
and large farmer will be able to get

ing higher prices when the mills de-
mand this cotton.
"The matter of agricultural labor
is most serious concern to the en-
tire agricultural and commercial life
of America. Two million negroes have
moved from the cotton producing
sections alone since 1914. Statistics
show the certainty hereafter of an
even far greater increase in the ex-
pense of producing cotton, the fer
tilizer for 1921 being sold out at rec
ord breaking prices.
"The enormous earnings being
made by the manufacturers both at
home and abroad and the fact that
the cotton producer is unable to pro-
duce cotton at prices being paid and
compete with ether lines of industry
impressed upon the board OF direc-
tors the necessity of issuing state
ment of depressing cotton prices that
has ever existed. It was also shown
that the European countries, such as
Germany, Austria and the Czecho-
Slovaks, who were large users of low
grade cotton were in distressing need
of some and steps were being taken
to get this cotton into these coun-
tries through our representatives
abroad and open up marke; for every
bale of same. There can be no ques-
tion but that these efforts will sue
ceed.
"Our committee was appointed to
prepare a statement through the press
pointing out to the farmers, mer-

holding cotton, the erection of ware
