Destroying Soaches

One profitable way of destroying reaches is to set roach traps and sell the product to the numerous fisher- men. There is big demand and the price remains high. Fruit jars and wlde-mouth bottles can be made to serve as fairly good traps by plac- ing attractive food in the jars and locating them so the bugs can climb in. Powdered borax or sulphur when scattered around reduces reaches, but poison baits are the best to utterly destroy. Flroride of sodium, eaustic poison, is sure death to them They will eat more or less of this poison without mixing with anything if laced where they are in- clined to reside. A little sugar mixed with 1t makes it more attractive. It may be sprinkled on damp stale bread potato peelings 1T decaying potatoes, and if mice eat or anything else, death is sure. White arsenic or arsenious acid may be uacd in the same manner and is very effective in killing reaches, ants, mice and other vermin. Kill them out early before they get good start.

 New Orleans, June Especially ] Although weekend statistics were
 bullish as to spinners' takings and variations in worlds visible supply, not only of American but of all kinds. the continuance of favorable weather in the interior and improving crop ac- counts influenced extensive liduida- tion today, resulting in an important decline In the market.
 Returns to a prominent New York commission house indicate average condition of the crop to be 71. points to an increase In acreage of per cent, indicating a yield of 11,100, 900 bales.
 Rumor has 1t that returns to the National Ginners' association average the condition of cotton at TO- indicat- ing an increase in acreage of per cent. pointing to crop of 10.400,00 bales.
 While weevil may be held in check for the present, the arrival of new when they will likely become more numerous than yer unless excessive hot. dry weather prevails.
 Government officials look upon the situation as alarming and are urging energetic work on the part of the farmers to exterminate the pest with poison. In the meantime the statisti- cal position of the staple continues to grow stronger. Compared with last year the worlds visible of American decreased s4000 bales during the past week. against an increase of 10000 last year, reducirp 1t to 2.5S3. 900 bales today against 2.687, 900 last week. and 4,S22,o00 last year. Furthermore. the south has only about 2.427000 bales still to market vs. 4.7s9.000 on hand at this date one year ago
 While the market may be lower temporarily, if good weather contin- ues it is in good shape to make quick recovery in event of had weather set ting in again.--H & B. Beer.
