 Washington, March 1s.-Special.)-- A special report that will Indicate the probable pig population of the lead Ing swine states will be made by the department of agriculture co-operat- ing with the post office department, it was announced today. Over 24.o00 rural mail carriers connected with $500 post offices in 14 representative states will collect the necessary data May 1.
 The plan is to secure reports by questionnaires from 12 farms on each rural route in the various states. This information will be collected by rural mail carriers fin tho regular course of delivering mail and TO- turned to the postmaster for for warding to the department of agri- culture for tabulation.
 The states to be covered are Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, sin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Geor- gia, Alabama and Mississippi.
 Special effort will be made to have the returns representative of the ter ritory from which they are taken From these returns, ratios, per centages and state totals can be worked out and applied to the total number of all farms in these states
 An accurate estimate of the prob able pig population for the year will be of great value to hog raisers. This information considered in connection with the estimated consumption de- n1and will annhla rrOUarq their operations and marketing so that the supply at all times will be in proper relation to the demand, which in turn will tend to stabilize prices throughout the year and prevent wide price ranges.

TRADING IS ACTIVE
 IN NCOTTON MARKET
Weather Conditions Cause Daily Swings in Price
 of Staple
By Associated Press

New Orleans, March 19.--WhiIe the extreme range of prices in the cot ton market this last week was only 55 to 66 points, trading was active and fluctuations were rapid The reason for the narrow range was the even balance of the news, which made the market a trading proposition. As has been the case for some time past there was little outside interest taken in the market and trading was done mainly by professionals. Highest prices came on the closing session while the lowest prices were sprin- kled through the first four sessions of the week. At the highest the trading months were 16 to 35 points over the close of the preceding week while at the lowest they were from 22 to 4s under. May traded up to 16.90c rising from 16.33c as the low est price, and closed at 16.79c. In the spot department middling lost 25 points in the net results, closing at 16.75c against 11c on the close of this week last year.
 Weather conditions over the belt played an important part in bringing about the daily swings in the price. Too much rains was reported for aWHlle put ldleT on ufy WealHeT set iIi and along with 1t came reports of ing the new crop. At the end of the week, however, the undertone was firm on prospects of more rain over the greater part of the belt.
 Rain in Texas
 During the day, Saturday, several points in Texas wired in that rains were falling and that farm work would be delayed in consequence. At the same time, portions of north and west Texas and also some portions of Oklahoma, were regarded as likely to benefit from more rain at this time. Planting was reported going ahead in the more southern sections of the state, and according to private re- ports reaching the market, all of the cotton destroyed by the recent cold wave in this part of the belt has been replanted.
 Reports from cotton goods markets were generally unsatisfactory, the strikes in New England still dragged on and there was talk of further cur tailment of production in other mill territories. This was balancedl to some extent by cablegrams from Liv- erpool, telling of more business being don by Manchester with both India and China and reporting that much idle machinery was being re-started which was resulting in a decrease In unemployment. While spot cotton was generally regarded as quiet, and even slow of sale most spot men said that there was no pressure of offer ings and that the demand was suf ficient to keep anything like an, ac- emulation of offerings off the mar ket. The eager taking up of March tenders here was regarded as a highly favorable feature.
 This coming week the market will open with the final report of the sea son on ginning from the census bu- reau for which about 5000. 900 to s,10o,o00 bales seem to be the divid- ing line of opinion.

The story thus far:
 Camille Westbrook has gone to South Africa with Dolly Mortimer, her little butterfly friend. who has made the trip from London to join her husband at Johannesburg. Elliot Glyn, in love with Camille, has made the. trip with them. She has in her possession q valuable ring which she has accepted from Reggie Van Tuyl, young man -about-to town always in financial difficulties, as security for loan. On shipboard and again in South Africa attempts are made to steal the ring from her. At Durban she and Eliot are strolling on the lawn together after dinner at Lady Kilmorny's.
 T love this charming old villa. Don't your" camille's hand stopped down and caressed a trailing bit of greenery that was vine-leaved, and had big, round flowers of a creamy color. How 1t clings! What Is it?"
 That's the passion flower"

Wont you come down and we'll take little stroll?" Coffee was finished and some of the other guests were sauntering on the velvety grass in twos and threes. Lady Kilmorny's parties were never general, but mostly tete-a-tete, and therefore 'un success fou," and looked on as delightful. Some one was sing ing, and the windows of the drawing room were flung wide open to the darkness.
 Camille stepped down from the ve- randall by Glyns side and walked across the sward from which sprang little clinging plants that caught the rose tulle of her frock, and which was say with tiny flowers like stars.
 "1t almost seems like treading on little living things" said she, regret fully.
 "Yes. You'd see better if there was a moon. On clear night one can look way out over Durban to the sea, and the houses seem so pretty, like little white ghosts nestling in the green"
