Farmers Should Use Warehouse 10
Encourage Better Quality of Cotton

mediate1y lose what influence it had
exerted on the price; or else, II the
price of cotton were too high, people
would buy clothes of linen, wool and
silk, so that if the cotton price were
maintained very little cotton would
be sold.
Added to improved seed must be
intelligent fertilizing and cultivation,
so combined as to secure the greatest
net return, or profit.
But even with improved varieties,
fertilization and cultivation h e
should be added cooperation in pro-
ducing uniform varieties with inform
length of strong staple in a single
community. The manufacturer can and
will pay more for cotton If the staple
is strong and uniform in all OF its
characteristics, including length OF
staple, than for a general mixture, even
though it contain some extra good
cotton. Let the southern farmer grow

Although there are few varieties
and selections of tomatoes that are
resistant, none are immune. The grow

Experiment Station some. years ago to

strains from theses
In 1922 the tomato seeds were soWn
in hotbeds in early March and the
plants set to the field the latter part
of April. The plants were set IN rows

feet apart i'll the rows. They were
staked, pruned and cultivated as COM

UNCOVERED KNEES
NO LONGER PLEASE
FLAPPERS FORSAKE ROLLED
HOSE IN RESPONSE TO DE-
CREE CHANGING STYLES.

If the knees OF a fapper could only
talk the topic of conversation would
discourage the stocking manufacturers
who are making the newly-inspired
hosette, a stocking that just barely
reaches the knees. The knee confab
would be to this effect:
I'm getting discouraged with life, !"
said one knee to the other. Last sum-
mer everything was right with me.
Now, for no reason at all, the girls
have forsaken the rolled socks and
the half hosette.
Knees Would Complain. S
I'm all covered up, and in this
warm weather I'm suffocating. When
| had my freedom the girls used to
powder me, develop my dimples and
treat me like human. Now, the
blisSful days are all over. We poor
throttled knees must prepare for the
worst!'
1t is true. Slaves of style and fash
ion, girls, firing of the rolled stocking
fad, have discarded the gaudy garters
and declared the below-the-knee effect
is no more.
Reporter Gets Wise.
A reporter, wishing to obtain first
hand information regarding the de-
mise of the rolled sock, approached a
demure little happer and asked the
blush-producing question: DO you
roll your hose" The fair little maiden
was neither offended or pleased.
She retorted: You've been playing
Rip Van Wrinkle! Rolled socks are
passe'-we kids don't do that any
morep
Investigations were made in the big
department stores and the reporter
soon learned that there were practical
ly no sales of the hosette or knee
length stockings.

Ten Billion Buttons
Made in u. S. in 1921
In Addition Sixteen Million Dollars
Worth Sent Abroad.

That the people of the United States
pay an average OF $100,000000 a year
for buttons and have sent $16,000,000
worth abroad since the beginning OF
the war is shown in a recent state
ment by the National City Bank OF
New York.
"The history of the button industry
in the United States, since the war
cut off our principal sources of for
eign buttons, drawn chiefly from Ger
many and Austria Hungary, is" con-
tinues the statement, lone of great
activity both in home production and
expectation. In the year before the
war the value of the buttons turned
out by our factories was $20,000,000,
while a census statement recently an
nounced shows the value of the out
turn of our button factories in 1919,
latest census year, was $43,000000 and
experts in that industry estimate that
the sum paid for them by the final con-
sumner in the United States was about
S100OO0,000. The total number OF but

Detroit Will Have First
Cageless Zoo, With Deep
Chasms Instead of Bars
Michigan City, First to Have Such In
stitution, Adopts Idea of Secre-
tary of the Navy DENLY.

The CITY of Detroit, Mich, is to have
q caee1ess zoo, in which visitors can
view the animals in the open at dis
lance of 80 feet without danger OF an
attack as the animals will be confined
nv chasms of artificial rock. Credit tor
introducing the first cageless zoo in
America will be given to Secretary OF
the Navy DENLY. native OF Detroit,
who saw a similar arrangement IN
Rome, Italy
1t is planned to found a zoo on the
1O0-acre tract recently bought and OF
Tered to the city by the Detroit Zoo
Iogial Society. In this zoo the animals
viii live, sleep and eat in the open, and
can Dlav and romp at will within GER

The size of these open spaces IN the

WHY FISH MIGRATE.

specific gravity sufficiently to cause
discomfort in its navigation. This i'm
pe1s it to seek fresh water, wherein
because of the less Density it can
float nicely and agreeably.
So in the fourth year it runs up a
river, where, under an arrangement
conveniently made by nature, it breeds.
But it is not the desire to spawn that
brings it into the river; the impelling
agency is fat. On the other hand, the
salmon could not venture into fresh
water unless it was fat, because, if
lean, it could not float or navigate
comfortably therein. ,
1t is the same way with the shad
and with other sea fishes that run up
rivers to spawn. Such, at all events,
is the new theory.
AS for air bladders, nearly all fishes
have them, the founder and sword
fish being among the exceptions. 1t IS
found that the air bladder contains
more and more oxygen with increasing
DEPTHS. Fishes taken from great depths
in the sea have air bladders filled with
nearly pure oxygen.
The purpose of the air bladder has
been in dispute ever since the days OF
Aristotle; but apparently its chief
function is to determine buoyancy,
while almost undoubtedly it helps out
the oxygen supply of the FISH.

riment Station Marvel, has so far
proved itself to be our most promiss-
ing wilt resistant tomato. The fruit IS
smooth and OF medium size.
The next most promising variety is
the elf-Pruning, a new variety being
introduced by Burpee Seed Company;
The fruit of this variety is smooth and
well favored, but since it has been
grown at the Experiment Station only
one season, we prefer testing its re-
sistance in this section for one or two
more years before drawing conclu-
sions.
OF the other varieties the Italian to-
matoes excel in vigor, fruitlng ability
and resistance. The point that keeps
them from gaining favor is the very
unattractive shapes. These varieties
are rather low in acid, which may APP
peal to some consumers but may be
undesirable to others.

PUBLIC INTEREST
 IS SHOWN IN CASE
Former Parliament Member Is Accused of Using Club Money

London, March 17.-Unusual public interest has been displayed in the case against Horatio Bottomley, member Of Parliament and formerly editor of John Bull and other London perlodl- calls, whose trial on a charge Of con- verting to his own use f5,0OO which belonged to the Victory Bond club, be- gan yesterday. s%
 Mir. Bottomley has been chairman of the Independent Parliamentary group but resigned that position and has announced that he intended to suspend his political and journalistic activities until the case against him was cleared up. His summons to police court was elimination ot long series of legal actions which re- suited from his conduct of the Vlc- tory Bond club and the Thrift club in 1919. In some of these MT. Bottom ley appeared as complainant charging libel againts persons who had at tackled him and in other cases sub scribers to different clubs whose funds were alleged to have been under Mr.
  by application to police courts.
 In the course of one of these ac tions Mir. Bottomley testified that f450,O ,OOO had been subscribed to the Victory Bond club and that f350,oO0 had been returned after a run on that organization resulting from publica- tion of what purported to be an ex- pose of his conduct of that organi- zation.
 Makes Promise
 At that time MT. Bottomley proms- ed that the remainder would be soon returned to the subscribers. On his behalf it was stated that he had lost f35,00O in the project and, owing to decline in the price of Victory Bonds, expected to lose another f1o,000.
 Amusing Incidents
 There have been some amusing in cidents in connection with the case. One of those who publicly attacked Bottomey's management fthe clubs was Reuben Bigland, a solicitor of Birmingham whose name appeared on a circular sold in the streets and entitled "A record of Horatio Bot tomley's good deeds and achievements on behalf of cX-service men, wounded sailors and soldiers, cripples, widows and orphans since his election as member of parliament the pamph- let contained only blank pages. For selling it a news vendor was sentenced to serve ten days in prison on the charge of obtaining q penny by false pretenses.
 MT. Bottomey has been described | as the greatest lay lawyer of modern times and has had an extensive eX- perience in litigation, personally de- | tending himself in court in several lengthy legal ordeals.
