Cotton Exchange Doors Should
Be Closed Says Weston.

Requesting the introduction of a
resolution in the United States SEN
ate calling for an investigation as to
the amount of spinnable cotton on
hand in America and at European
points, United States District Attor-
ney Francis RI. Weston Friday adj
dressed a letter to United States SEN
ator E. D. Smith, in which he makes
an attack on the cotton exchanges, as
the cause of a lower price for cotton
than should be expected in the face
of the short crop.
Mr.. Weston asks that American
consuls in Europe be instructed to
Investigate the amount of cotton on
hand at various points on the conti-
nent, and that agricultural agents in
this country ascertain the amount on
hand in the United States.
In the face of a six million bale
crop, Mr.. Weston says, the smallest
crop in a quarter of a century, cot
ton is continually going down. He
tells Senator Smith that the crop in
this state is practically gathered, and
the return is only a small fraction of
a normal crop. Unless there is a good
price for the staple this year, says the
letter to the senator, the condition of
the farmers and of all industry will
be distressing.
Mr.. Weston tells the senator in his
letter that ne has been to cotton Of
fees here to sell cotton and that the
buyers first have DO consult New
York, New Orleans and Liverpool Ex-
changes as to the price that should be
paid. "This looks unusual to me-" the
letter says, "and the sooner the
doors of the exchange are closed, the
better it will be for agricultural in

lem that ever confronted agriculture
in America, a problem which i not
solved will, as the head of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange well says,
end u supremacy among the worlds
growers of cotton.
President j. P. Woodall of the Au-
gusta Cotton Exchange has received
a letter from President Edw. S. But
ter of the New Orleans exchange,
urging that the Augusta exchange
use it's every effort to get the farmers.
to turn under or burn the stalks. All
cotton factors in Augusta will be ask
ed to send an appeal to every Gus
toner to this effect.
The following is the letter received
by Mr.. Woodall:
"New Orleans, Sept, %.
"Pres. Augusta Cotton Exchange,
Augusta, Georgia.
"Dear Sir: 1t has been suggested
that a campaign should be inaugural
ed throughout the South embracing
every region affected by the boil
weevil, urging and insisting that far
mers Immediately on gathering their
cotton burn or turn under the cotton
stalks. This should be done without
delay as we understand that if the
stalks remain in the fields untilfrost
the weevil will have ample food.
"It is hardly necessary to impress
upon you the Importance of some ac-
ton that will minimize if not totally
destroy this frightful menace to
Southern cotton culture.
evil you not take this matter up
with your members and get them to
write and if necessary to wire every
bank and merchant with whom they
do business and every farmer from
whom they receive cotton, insisting
that cotton stalks be cut and DufnC
or turned under.
"It goes without saying that if the
weevil menace continues to spread as
it has done, it is only a matter of
time when our supremacy among the
worlds cotton growers will end.
Something must be done, and that
without delay, and it is hoped and
believed that the course suggested
will contribute materially towards
relief.
"Kindly let me know what action
you may take in the premises.

Greenwood Frowns on Gam
bIers and Bootleggers.

Greenwood, s.. c., Oct. IA war
against bootleggers and gamblers was
begun today following a meeting OF
CITY council this morning which every
police officer in the city had been no
tilted to attend. Members of council
told the police officers that they had
been lax in their duties and asked for
explanations and suggestions. Mayor
A. S. Hartzog declared that expense
would not be spared and any amount
of money necessary to clean up
Greenwood would be spent to protect
the morals and good name of the
community.
Chief of Police NJ. B. Chandler de-
clared police officers were handicap
ped in efforts to enforce the law
against bootleggers by failure of So
called good citizens to cooperate
with them and that it was practically
impossible to secure information
against liquor trafickers.
In reply to the statement that the
law against bootlegging could not be
enforced. Alderman j. B. Harris de-
clared that council and the police
force were composed of men Of av-
erage intelligence and if they could
not cope whit the situation they ought
to acknowledge their failure and step
down in favor Of. those who could.
'tAny police officer who is friendly
to gamblers or bootleggers ought to
have the decency to resign" he said.
Council decided to call a meeting
of the mayor, the chief Of police and
the police committee at once, to work
out details of the campaign against
vice. Mayor Hartzog declared the
war would not be sporadic, sudden
and soon over, but he and city coun-
Gil would see that it was waged in
c~essantly from now on. As many ad-
ditional officers as necessary, will be
added, he said.

Turn Under Cotton Stalks or
Burn Them.

If the farmers of Georgia and
South Carolina are to make any cot
ton nextyear it behooves them to
get busy right now turning under or
burning the cotton stalks. Millions
of boil weevils are in the cotton fields
now and are feeding on the late
squares that have come with the
growth of the cotton plant during
August and September. The lack of
fruit on the cotton stalks, caused by
the earlier depradations of the Vice.
vii, caused the stalks to grow much
larger than they ordinarily would
have and during the warm weather of
September the. stalks grew rapidly.
Boil weevil experts tell us that it
is imperative to turn these stalks I'M
der with the pillow or plow them up
and burn them in order to destroy
the weevil's places of Information for
the coming months. If these stalks
are not destroyed the weevils may be
expected in greater quantities than
they were even at the beginning of
this year, and every n knows that
in most fields there were weevils on
each tiny cotton plant waiting for
the squares to appear.
The farmers must tackle this prob
lem intelligently and earnestly. 1t is
no plaything and we r informed
that the success or failure of the
yield next year largely depends upon
the destruction of the weevils this
fall. 1t is stated that mere blowing
up the stalks is not enough for they
should either be turned under with a
turn plow or plowed up with a enid
die buster" and then burned. Ex-
perience gained in Alabama in attack
ing the boil weevil problem is said to
have taught the farmers there that
!! the stalks must be turned under and
the weevil with them or the stalks
| burned. Of course, the turning under

While The Chronicle is urging liv.

so that there may be more money
crops on the farm than cotton, yet
we must make cotton and we should
be ashamed to be a gutter in the face
of the boil weeyil. We must apply
the most intelligent methods to s

We never heard of kraut being
made of collards, and it would seem
that there is too much of the loose,
green leaf to make a well-havored
product. However, there is no reason
they should not be handled just the
same as cabbage, with perhaps a lit
tie more pounding as the kraut is be-
ing packed. The following recipe is
copied from a government bulletin:
For sauerkraut select only mature,
sound heads of cabbage. Shred either
with a hand shredder, IN ordinary
slaw-cutter ora large knife. Pack in.
open jars, pressing down firmly, but
not too tightly. Distribute as evenly
as possible two ounces of salt to each
i've pounds of cabbage, or about a
pound Of salt to 40 pounds of cab
bages. When jar is full v with a
clean cloth and a board cover or
plank. Weight this enough to bring
the brine up to the over. If it is kept
IN a temperature of sc degrees F.
fermentation will start promptly. A
scum soon forms on the surface,
which shouldbe completed in from 6
to 8 days. After this is complete, the
jar should be set in a cool place. II
it is put down in the fall, when the
weather is likely to be pretty cool, it
will need only covering enough to
protect from insects. 1t is safer, how
ever, to pour a layer of melted para
fine wax about the cover over the ex-
posed parts. This seals the jar and
prevents spoilation.-Southern Rural
list.
