The six thousand odd farmers of
Uainn county would have already saw
ed SS00.000 had they been members
OF the Cooperative Marketing ASso-
citation. according to Mr.. E. W. Gil
liam. field agent of the organization.
Before the year is out he expects their
loss through failure to Join the more
mans. which Dr. Poe calls the great
est Of a generation" TO reach around
the half million mark.
Assuming that half of Union
eounty'S crop. estimated TO total fully
1000 bales. was sold at Il cents.
the loss at present market prices Is
about S25 bale. or 100000 in round
numbers declared Mr.. Gillian. "A
case in point," he continued is that
Of colored farmer near Monroe. He
did his best to get me to release seven
bales Of CO ton. which he had pledged
TO the association. so he could sell
when the price was twenty-one cents.
My refusal 10 grant MIN release has
saved him SITS TO date. What the
eventual saving to him will be | can
not tell, II may be $780,
But Few Bales Have Been Sold
0n.y a few bales. of cooperative
cotton has been sold. Mr.. Gillian
said that out of fifteen thousand bales
the association had stored in Char
lotte. only 10 bales had been dis
posed of. The policy of cooperative
marketing is orderly selling instead
of dumping the staple on the market
when it is ginned. This, said Mr..
Gillian, is responsible for the reason
no safes nave been made and not be-
cause the association is engaged in
speculative movement.
Asked what price the cooperative
members would get above the aver
age price received by members,
Mr.. Gillian said that while he had
no way of ascertaining, he believed
they would average at least five cents
a pound more.
Receipts by the association, he add
ed, have been unusually heavy. "All
of the warehouses at the large ship
ping points, he said, "have been
badly congested. The association has
no available warehouse room for more
cotton than has been pledged to it,
but ample space will be secured for
next years crop when il is expected
that there will be stampede of
Southern farmers to join the North
Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative
Marketing Association.

The Disappearing Delicacy.

While New Workers. are enjoying
certain satisfaction at the prospect
of a few cents reduction In the price
OF turkey at Thanksgiving citizens
of Connecticut are looking further
ahead. To preserve a once abundant
food product of their State they are
seeking to put limit on the taking
of shad in the Connecticut River.
Pessimists pretend to foresee in the
near future the time when the turkey
will be as rare a delicacy as the
partridge. The constantly rising
price may offer some justification for
this gloomy outlook. There are, in
the opinion of appreciative judges of
good food, plausible reasons why the
turkey should be advanced into such
exalted gastronomic society as the
partridge and the grouse. The flavor
OF the bird justifies this promotion.
Sad as such result might be to
many in the United States, where the
fowl has been not only at its best but
most appreciated, nobody will deny
that the bird deserves such eminence
on its merits. Yet IL would be dis
heartening to see turkey pass into the
luxury class.
The shad fishermen Of the Connec-
ticut River have been asked not to
set their nets for three days at the
height of the next season that tho
destruction Of the fish may not con-
tinue so ruthlessly. Shad used to be
so plentiful in Connecticut that farm
hands were accustomed to stipulate
that the fish should not be served
more than twice a week. How many
New Workers. can recall when North
River shad was to be had for a quar-
ter? In those days turkey cost less
than % cents pound.
Failure to conserve the bountiful
gifts Of nature, the spread of civil
ization into remote sections Of the
country, which reduces the numbers
of wild animals and birds even
with careful protection, pollution Of

One Level Wage.
Objection to Discrimination in Pay
Stated by n Railroad Man.

You say "The individual employer is

to pay more than the minimum wage 10

I spent twenty-seven years IN rail-
way work and have been head of the
mechanical departments of three large
Western railroads. When you admit
that some workers are worth more than
the minimum wage asked and are will
ing TO pay them more than the minimum
organized labor says. "No, the maxi
mum you are willing to pay the best
must be tho wages for ALL"
When you can solve this problem and
answer tho assertion made TO me many
times, ANY man who does his best "a
as good as any other" you will have
solved tho wage question. y. Y. y.

Municipal Forests.

The need for forest development
and conservation is so acute that
ordinary foresight and economy are
no longer enough to insure an ade-
quate timber production in this coun-
try two generations hence.
Our forest problem has reached the
stage which the problem of food pro-
duction reached in Japan when resort
to the cultivation of hillsides by
means Of terraces became imperative.
Every means of protecting forest
growths, of planting trees where
there are no trees, every precaution
against unintelligent cutting. must
be exercised before it is too late.
The creation of national and State
forest preserves, not as a hoard but
as a group of timbered areas to be
economically administered for the
production of lumber. was great
step toward saving the timber crop.
The creation of cooperative spirit
between the Forest Service and pri-
vate owners of timber land was an
other. But there are many smaller
means by which the work Of saving
the timber crop can be advanced.
One of these devolves upon every
citizen, and that of course is the ex-
ercise of care to prevent the starting
of fires in woods of whatever acre
age. The Forest Service is now oc-
cupied with another which devolves
upon municipalities, and the New
York State College of Forestry is
cooperating with the Government in
determining the opportunities for the
creation of municipal forests in New
York State.
Many towns and cities in the
United States have already acquired
municipal forests for the purpose Of
protecting their water supply. Other
communities have established them
with timber production uppermost
in mind.
In Europe, where timber economy
was practiced when the forests of the
United States were virgin, the mu-
nicipal forest, scientifically managed,
Is an old institution. Switzerland
has successfully maintained COM
munal forests for centuries.
Everything that contributes to the
preservation of the timber crop in
this country is worth earnest effort.
If New York, in addition to its State
preserves, can do anything for timber
conservation through municipal for
ests 1t should be done, and speedily
done.

Opera and Horse Show.

Diversions for the citizens of New
York are no longer arranged with, the
idea of preventing one from interfer-
ing with another. New York to-day
IS altogether too large for any con-
alterations OF that kind to cramp the
enterprise of its managers. The me-
tropolis is apparently able, to judge
from the liberality with which it's
entertainment Is supplied, to patron
ize to the profit of managers what
ever good may be laid before 1T.
This evening will witness the open
ing of the season at the Metropolitan
Opera House, an event which used
to be regarded as of such far reach
ing Importance that the theaters at
tempted no important productions on
the same night. 1t was left by the
timid managers of an earlier day to
the opera alone. 1t was never con-
sidered possible in the past that a
first night of the Horse Show could
be allowed to conflict with the notable
artistic and social event taking place
at the Metropolitan.
Now the little old New York In
which such precautions were consid-
cred necessary has apparently passed
away. The city has increased so in
population, It's theatergoers are so
much more numerous, the habit of
patronizing public amusements has
become so much more general that
any number of novelties may be safely
offered on the same evening.
So both the season at the Metre
politan Opera House and the National
Horse Show will begin this evening.
AS if that were not novelty enough
for one New York night, there will be
several new plays at the theaters, with
more to follow during the week. So
much is the city now able to support
ir the way of diversion.

tion of early maturing varieties OF
cotton or early spraying of varieties
requiring longer to mature, so plant
Ing that the crop shall be well ad-
vanced before the boil weevils have
become numerous and destructive.
The department investigators make
a strong plea for maintenance Of
high quality standards in the cotton
States. 1t is urged that approved
varieties or a single variety be culti-
waited In communities in which the
superior varieties may be kept pure.
Particular emphasis Is put on the fact
that frequently locally selected seed
of good varieties is better than new
stock, and growers are reminded that
the running out so feared by them
may be postponed II not entirely
avoided for many years when isola-
tion, selection and clean ginning are
maintained.
AS to the production cost, the
grower who knows his own expenses
and has access to the average or
standard figures for purposes of COM
parison should be able to stop the
leaks and make the best of whatever
advantages his situation offers. In
planning of crops the farmer is urged
to seek better quality and to limit his
outlay. not only to provide sufficient
acreage of corn and other grain for
his Household purposes but so to build
up and maintain soil fertility as to
get the best results from his land,
labor and capital. These are some of
the recommendations urged by the
agronomists and agricultural econo-
mists who have been devoting their
time to study of this question.

For Bellevue Patients.
There Is Need for Warm Clothing
and Also Baby Carriages.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: May l
ask your generous readers to think OF
the patients of Bellevue Hospital these
first winter days?
To complete the cure obtained at
Bellevue in many cases, indeed in most,
the patients should go to the country
for few weeks of convalescent care.
This is quite impossible unless they have
proper amount of warm clothing, es-
pecally overcoats.
Those patients who are without funds.
OF whom Bellevue has many, turn to
their trusted friend the Social Service
Office to help them obtain the necessary
clothes There come fathers unable to
return TO work. mothers tired and worn
by illness to whom two weeks in the
country will mean their only rest, and
children of all sizes and ages who should
go away before returning to the hard
work and scanty food of their homes IL
we would keep them from soon again
becoming patients Of Bellevue.
Any of your readers who want to
help these patients should send any
thing in the way of warm clothing to
Miss Mary e. Wadley, Social Service
Bureau, Bellevue Hospital.
There Is one other thing many tired
mothers also ask for a baby carriage or
go-cart and we have none to give them.

Schoharie's Flop.
The Rock Ribbed Democratic County
That Voted for Miller.

To THE New YORK HERALD: What
has happened to Schoharie county that
1t should now be Republican after an
unexampled adherence to the Demo-
cratic banner7
On Tuesday. in spite of the Demo-
cratic sweep. 1t gave Miller 4.s6s votes
against s,614 for Smith. while for the
senatorship Calder carried II by the
closer margin of 100 votes. But why
should the Republicans be carrying IT at
all? If 1 remember correctly. 1t was
one OF the three counties out of the
slxty-one In the State which in 1894. in
period of great Democratic reversal.
remained loyal to the Democratic party,
the others being New York and Kings.
The late Grover Cleveland once told
me that for some reason which he did
not quite understand Schoharie, inhab-
ited by a rural population, many of
whom were hop growers. had always
turned UP with Democratic majority.
never was in the county. and so
far as / know never saw any one who

strongest support among employers who

strongest support among employers who
have not looked beyond the convenience
Of having the State adjust the problem
of their responsibilities to their en-
ployees. 1t is an easy way to charge
to overhead expenses the insurance cost
Of accidents, but the state Is losing that
personal touch--that Inherent sympathy
between men which exists In spite of
all the cynicism of pseudo-reformers--
in interposing a commission between the
employer who Is to be compelled" and
the laborer who was willing to accept
employment and TO rely upon his rights
under the common law.
The statute does not provide ade-
quate compensation for substantial in
Juries; it gives altogether too much for
the trifling accidents. and the careful
and intelligent iaborer who Is injured
through negligence is placed upon an
equality with the careless and indiffer-
ent man. The great principles OF jus
tice and equality are sacrificed to the
lazy convenience OF employers and the
careless indifference of inferior work
men.
The Constitution of this State was
amended TO bring about this condition
an exception was made In favor of n
class, and the result Is to emphasize
the maxim of the common law that
every innovation occasions more harm
and arrangement by Its novelty than
benefit by its abstract utility, or, al
Bacon phrased IT, "it is not possible to
find remedy for any mischief In the
Commonwealth but 1t will beget some
new mischief"
The mischief being created by the
workmen's compensation law Is the
estrangement of employer and employee
the intensifying OF antagonisms which
always grow up between men who re-
main largely unknown to each other
and who get their impressions through
the Intervention of demagogues and
self-seeking politicians. Not the least
of the causes which led to the defeat
Of Nathan l.. Miller was the feeling on
the part of workmen that the compen-
cation law was not accomplishing JUS
tice. Men don't want to be patronlzed
they don't even want the benefits of their
own connlving. In the last analysis
they want Justice, and the great APP
Proclamation is the trial by jury, which
has been taken away by the amendment
to the Constitution necessary to the
Legality Of the compensation act.
And the courts Of this state need the
protection of the jury. 1t is not fair
to the system to pass the buck TO the
courts in these compensation cases. The
safety of our institutions depends upon
the finders of fact being taken from the
ranks of the people. returning 10 the
source when the litigation is completed.

Legende VieIle.

From the Arkansas Gazette.
In the long and long ago across the
world came faring ft.-..1.
A being wrought of beauty az OF mist
and dreams and FIRE,
OF crimson lips that breathed a spell. OF
witchery ensnaring
or dangerous deep eyes that moved TO
madness and desire
Unto the magic charm of her the high
gods made obeisance
And in her honor on a night tho ban
quet board was spread
with clustered gems amid the viands
cleaning for her pieasance.
And gold and rose and purple wines,
: and amber wines and red.
Yet in the gypsy heart of her the wan
der song was singing
The wine stains spread across the
boards. and in the light OF day
The scattered gems like fallen stars
along the CLOTH were clingng---
All but the gypsy feet OF her had
borne her far away
And SO II was forevermore when sum-
mer hath departed
The high gods mark her passing with
the immemorial sign
on all the winds the wander song that
calls the gypsy hearted
On all the trees tho glowing tints OF
Jewels and of wine.
