STEVENSON ENTERS
COTTON MEASURE

Washington, Dec. "A bill to
enable buyers of contracts to de-
mand delivery of grades Of cotton
they desire for use in manufacture
was introduced today by Represent
ative Stevenson, democrat, South
Carolina.
The bill would divide contracts
into three classes, A, b, and c.
Class A would include middling
fair, strict and good middling, good
middling and strict middling.
Class b would include strict mid
ding, middling, strict low middling
and good middling, yellow tinged.
Class c would call for strict low
middling, low middlng, strict mid
ding yellow tinged, and good mid
ding yellow tinged.
Stipulate Glass
Under the bill a trader would
stipulatc the class of his contract
and the grade of cotton wanted. De-
livery of one-third of the contract
would be required in that grade and
the remainder permitted in the two
grades next in order.
Mr.. Stevenson said passage of the
bill would tend to equalze the price
level as between the futures mar.
ket and the actual value of the cot
ton, which he said had worked to
the disadvantage Of the actual prod
uct. 1t also would save the spin
ncrs and others the necessity of an
extra transaction, he added, when
"'iVcrY To them on contracts in
cludcd cotton they could not use.

SUCCEEDING,
SAYS COMMISSIONER HAYNES

Washington, Dec. 9.-Federal Pro-
hibition Commissioner r. A. Hapnes,
Col. l.. G. Mutt, acting chief general
prohibition agents; andJudge James
j. Britt, counsel, Prohibition Unit,
returned Saturday from a weeks sur
vcy of Southern States, where they
met with directors, divisional chiefs
and their agents, prominent officials
and representative citizens, in fur
thering of a program for closer CO.
operation of all enforcement agen-
cies. Delighted with the success of
the trip, Commissioner Haynes issued
the following statement:
conference in which | have parti-
c!pated the past week with Governors,
Federal Judges, L. S. Attorneys. u.
5. Marshals, Mayors, Sheritfs, Chiefs
of Police and other officials in sever
al Southern states, together with Di-
rectors, Divisional Chiefs and various
officers of the Prohibition Unit, hav
ing as the primary object closer CO.
operation of all enforcement agen-
cicS, as contemplated by the concur
rent provision of the Eighteenth
amendment, proved inspiratonal and
productive of practical help.
Il found in South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Alabama, Louisiana and Florida
militant public sentiment in favor
of prohibition law observance and
constructive enforcement. The atti-
tudc of officials, who volunteered the
fullest support, demonstrated that an
earnest citizenship is asserting itself
everywhere in the South, not unlike
that in practically every section of
the country.
"Old-time illicit distilling in the
South is succumbing to the vigorous.
united attacks of federal, state and
county officials, while the character
of the product, made under most un-
sanitary conditions, is causing such
slump in demand that the problem
is no longer difficult. The same NAV
also be said in relation to coast-line
smuggling, which has been reduced
by means of sub-chaser and motor
boat control and general knowledge
that most so-called smuggled liquor
Is not imported, but doctored, syn
thetic stuff, fraudlently bottled and
fraudulently labelled With all bond
ed liquor securely guarded in ware
houses and scarcely any pure liquor
coming from foreign shores, consul
mers are rapidly realizing that most
available beverage liquor is unfit to
drink, and this phase of the situation,
together with concerted action all
along the line, is making the Eigh-
teenth amendment a stern, enforceable
actuality.
THE trip a whole was eminent
ly satisfactory. There were earn
est proffers of cooperation by high
officials everywhere. The reception
Of our party was warm and generous
at all places, and well-known South
ern hospitality was sbundantly sus-
tained."

ON PLANTING YOUNG TREES

l. The growth made by a young
fruit tree first year in the orchard
is more in determining success than
any other year in its history.
2. The soil should be previously
prepared by deep plowng and pull
verizing as carefully as for seed
bed.
8. If the soil of the orchard is
well prepared, holes to receive the
trees need be only deep and wide
enough to accommodate the natural
spread of the root system. In set
ting replants in an orchard, the
holes should be dug deep and broad
enough to cut back the encroachinp
roots of surrounding trees to avoid
competition until the replant Ia cs-
taLlished.
4. Medium-SiZcd, one-vcar-old
trees or well grow. June buds are
to be preferred to older trees for
transplanting.
D. The roots of young trees
should be protected against drying
out, by avoiding unnecessary expo
sure of the root to air in handling.
e. The roots of young trees are
more susceptible than tops to in
jury from cold and should not be
exposed by handling during freezing
temperatures. A mere frost NAV
kill them.
7. 1t is better to cut the main
roots to six or eight inches in
length than to leave them long
enough that they may be bent or
kinkcd in planting.
s. Usually the tree should be-
planted no deeper than it stood in
the nursery. New roots start more
promptly where the soil warns first,
near the surface. Most planters set
the trees too deep.
9. Compact the soil firmly about
the main roots to avoid drying out,
but do not bruise the roots in firm
ing the soil about them. Bruised
roots renew growth less readily and
are more subject to infection bv
root diseases.
10. Early winter planting, while
the trees are fully dormant, is bet
ter than late spring planting, when
the buds are starting into growth
If the planting must be delayed, the
trees may be kept dormant longer
by removing them from the trench
turning them over, and again heal
ing them in.

Prison Population Increases.

The past fall and winter months,
with their increase in unemployment,
have resulted in increasing the prison
population of the state from fourth
to 4 third, according to estimates
made by prison officials of North Car
DINA. This applies alike to the pris-
oners sent to the convict camps OK
the counties for minor infractions OF
the law and to the state prison, where
the prisoners charged with more fla
grant violations of the law are pun
ished.
The heavy increase in the prison
population of state prison, together
with tho bad weather during the past
three months, has made it impossible
for the prison authorities to collect
the full amount they should have col
lected from prisoners who have been
hired out on contract. The prison
gets $1,75 per day for every working
day, but the prisoners have to be fed
and clothed no matter whether they
work or not. And the convicts seem
to eat just as much when they do not
swing pick all day as they eat when
they are at work There have been
so many days of raih and bad weather
that the central prison has been suf-
fering financially. The prison has to
feed and clothe the men, and when
they do not collect the s1.75 per day
for their services, the prison runs in
the hole on the contract.
