ENGLAND TO MAKE BIG EFFORT
TO Grow Her Own Cotton-IrriyatC &
Three Million Acres.

Washington, April 13. - -Grea t
Britain is bending every energy to
escape from dependency upon the
United States for raw cotton, accord
ing to report 10 the Department OF
Commerce to-day from Commercial
Attache Dennis at London. 70 this
end, Mr.. Dennis said, England is en-
couraging the production of cotton
in the former German possessions in
East Africa, obtained under man
date, and in her own colonial pos
sessions.
while our own people have been
considerably aroused by the so-called
British domination Of the world s Pc
troleum resources" Mr.. Dennis said
little attention has been paid TO the
OBVIOUS fact that as result Of The
war, increasing opportunities f0vthe
production OF raw cotton have de-
veloped within the British Empire.
The British have seized upon that
fact and systematic efforts are being
made by the empire cotton growing
committee to stimulate cotton grow
ing within the empire"
Cotton growing" he continued,
lis being urged by the British in all
the colonies where conditions are
favorable to the crop. India, Egypt
| and Mesopotamia are to be utilized,
as are the former German colonies
in Africa he said, adding that "the
British board Of trade plans to irri-
gate 100000 acres OF cotton lands
near Khartoum.
Commenting on the present inter-
national cotton situation, Mr.. Dennis
declared that by the end Of July the
worlds supply Of unconsumed otton
| would amount to II 100000 bales of
500 pounds each. This, he said,
would be the largest carry-over in
the worlds history. Collapse Of the
European market, as we'll as the
markets of Poland and Finland, he
said, had brought on the 0ver-sup-
ply. Efforts Of the public to bring
down the price Of cotton fabrics, he
| asserted, had done much to weaken
the market.

ceived lately regarding the control
Of the cantaloupe borer, and those
who are interested in growing some
fine cantaloupes will be interested In
the instructions given below by
Prof. Conradi, Of clemson:
"Plant your cantaloupes as early
as possible consistent with safety
from frost. Early maturing canta.
loupes are much less infested by the
worms, as the bug comes out late in
the season. The moth which lays the
eggs prefers the buds and blooms of
the summer squash, and. the squash
should be planted early 80 as to be
In bloom when the cantaloupes are
forming later. These squash should
be planted ten days ahead OF late
cantaloupes.
when the cantaloupes have got
ten to be the size Of child's base
ball they may be bagged with a six
pound nail bag. While bagging the
earth may be slightly hilled with the
feet so that the bags will remain
dry. Sugar bags are too light and
will not stand weathering."

a vigorous protest against the LIQUOR
traffic carried Oh at Bimini, in the
Bahama Islands, because of its proX-

matching conspiracies against the
laws made by a friendly government

an unfriendly act. Other nations, he
