A half cent reduction was made on top scores.
 Uncertainty of future supplies and the possibility of an early increase in ship ments were held responsible for unsettled and sentimental conditions of the mar kets Purchase of number of cars of California butter by Chicago dealers. as well as sales of some New Zealand stock, added to the disturbance.

Price of Wheat Goes Down With Prospects
 Of Heauy .Deliueries

CHICAGO, March Retrospective abun dant deliveries of wheat here to fill May contracts have had a tendency to ease down values in the wheat market this week. Compared with week ago wheat this morning was # @ 1ac lower. with corn off ss@1c, oats $ @ isc and provisions 65 @77c
 Although at the beginning of the week a sudden cold wave led to fears of crop damage and lifted the wheat market to the highest prices reached in more than a month. the bulls soon lost their advan- tage houses with western connections sell ing freely opinions that no injury Of conseouence had been done. Then came news of liberal purchasing of wheat to be shipped to Chicago from Omaha and other western centers, and notwithstanding that no subsequent days rallies took place as result of export buying for Europe. the more general drift of prices was to- ward a lower level.
 Orders to unload wheat afloat here and also to unload rye on board vessels here CTS uneasy, and considerable liquidation in, the wheat marke tensued. an impression being created that no dearth of bread stuffs would be witnessed in Chicago dur Ing May Indications of enlarged domestic trade in flour acted. however, as a steady Ing influenc con the wheat market, and so too, did small but continuous decrease of arrivals of wheat at most primary mar kets.

WOMEN AND GIRLS
SOLD FROM $500 UP
WHITE SLAVERY ON THE IN
CREASE SINCE WAR. Pow
ERTY CHIEF CAUSE.

Traffic in women and girls between
the different countries in Europe and
between the United States and Eu-
rope has been on the increase ever
since the world war.
Investigation has revealed the fact
that agents have gone to Europe to
buy women and girls at prices rang
ing from $500 to $4,000 for shipment
to this country.
Agents preyed on the hordes which
poured out of Asia Minor recently
and found refuge in Greece. Many
fathers of families, Grecian soldiers.
were confined in Turkish prison camps.
The families left destitute, the daugh-
tiers were easily inveigled into the net
of the white slavers, to be sent to an
other country to lead lives OF shame.
Conditions since the war have made
the work of the white slavers easy.
Hundreds of thousands of wage-earn-
ers dead or hopelessly wounded, the
resultant poverty has caused young
wives and daughters to accept almost
anything in preference to their lot.
The League OF Nations has appoint
ed an international committee to deal
with the situation. Abraham Flexner,
of New York city, sociologist and
educator, has been made a member.

FALL SELECTION AND
CARE OF PULLETS
COUNTY HOME ECONOMICS
DEMONSTRATORS MAKES A
FEW SUGGESTIONS.
By Mrs. w. H. Gurr.

Immediate and careful attention
should be given pullets in order to get
maximum returns from the poultry
flock during the fall and winter
Pullets must produce the bulk of
the high priced eggs, as the hens will
take their rest. The flock will not be
profitable unless there is a fair egg
production during the season of high
prices. A dry, we'll ventilated clean,
sanitary house should be available, al
lowing four square feet of floor space
per bird. Six to ten inches of clean
straw or hay litter should be placed
on the floor. 1t is much more profit
able and sanitary to have this scratch
pen and mash hopper under shelter
during the winter and to conhne the
birds during the winter and also dur
ing rainy days till late in afternoon.
1t is desirable to confne the pullets
for several days for final culling. The
birds will become accustomed to con-
'finement and can be more easily and
effectively examined. Having culled
out undesirables for the poultry sale
it is important that attention be given
the producers. When possible it is
advisable to separate the pullets by
pens, according to development. Those
laying should be placed in one pen,
those about to lay in another and those
needing forcing in another.
In order to get maximum produc-
ton during winter the pullets should
be brought to laying in October. This
timing production can be regulated to
some extent by foods and methods of
feeding. A good laying ration recon-
mended by the Georgia College OF
Agriculture IS:
Scratch Feed-100 pounds of wheat,
100 pounds of cracked corn, 100
pounds of oats.
Mash Feed.-100 pounds of wheat
bran, 100 pounds OF corn meal, 100
pounds of ground oats, 100 pounds OF
beef scraps. =,
The method of feeding giving good
results is to have the. mash fed in
hoppers before the birds at all times.
Scratch grain is fed in the straw or
litter on the floor, where birds will be
required to scratch for it. One hun
bred pullets should be given from 10
to II pounds of scratch feed per day.
A very light feeding of from two to
four pounds should be given early in
the morning and the remainder late
in the afternoon.
If pullets start producing too early
reduce the mash and increase the
scratch feed, while for hurry-up pro-
duction the reverse is true.
In addition to the above rations
oyster SHE'LL grit and green foods
should be available at all times.
The value Of milk cannot be over
estimated for poultry OF any age and
for any purpose. Fresh water. should
be supplied at least twice a day and
the containers washed once per day
and kept in shade. Pullets should be
kept confined few days during Gull
ing but allowed range again.
Over 100000 coffee percolators are
used in the United States.

Four New Varieties of Peaches

The bringing forth of new varie-
ty of fruit is a comparatively simple
matter, and is to be encouraged The
introduction of new varieties is the
basis of improvement of our domestic
plants.
An old variety may be propagated
for several decades, and there is prac-
tically no danger of degeneracy; while
on the other hand it is practically i'm
possible to improve its many charac-
tiers. A variety has its fixed characters
and allows practically no alteration.
If better fruit is to be had a new
variety must be introduced. So we
should not be surprised nor discour-
aged at the constantly replacing of a
variety of fruit for a variety that is
more desirable.
The Georgia Experiment Station
has recently brought to light four
new varieties of peaches. In 1911 APP
proximately 500 seeds from the Elber-
ia variety were planted all of these
seedlings were brought into bearing,
and out of this number four were Sc
lected as being worthy of propaga-
ton. Two trees of each of these are
now in full bearing at the station, but
have not as yet been named. They
are known by the numbers, one, two,
three and four and are described as
follows:
No. l, yellow flesh, decidedly free
stone, medium size seed, we'll colored,
sweet, juicy, slightly like the Elber.

HABERSHAM COURT

court, in the Northeastern circuit for
Judge Jones. This was Judge Yeo-
mans first court since he was appoint
ed to the Pataula superior court bench;
and reports from GAINESVILLE are that
he disposed of the business of the
court like a veteran and made de-
cided1y favorable impression.
Judge Yeomans will hold his first
court in his own circuit week after
next, when the fall term of Quitman
superior court will convene at George
town.
The appointment of Judge Yeomans
to succeed the late Judge w. c. Wor-
rill gave general satisfaction, and he
is expected to make splendid record
on the bench.

bility in that it ripens slightly later
than the liberia
No. 2, yellow flesh, decidedly free
stone, medium size seed, very prolific,
we'll favored but moderately juicy,
highly colored with red color OF skin
going slightly into the flesh, ripens 5
days later than the liberia. This va
riety tends to overbear, otherwise it
is as large as the liberia and possess
es an attractiveness that is very much
desired by the commercial buyer; and
is remarkably cold resistant.
No. 3, yellow flesh, decidedly cling
stone, beautifully colored, redness OF
seed extending slightly into the flesh,
sweet and juicy with we'll developed
flavor, large seed, prolific, as large as
the liberia and ripens 4 days later.
This variety is practically free from
scab, and is very promising tor home
use and the local market.
No. 4, yellow flesh, decidedly tree
stone, we'll favored, redness of seed
extending into the flesh in the form
of red streaks, medium size seed, larg-
er than the liberia and ripens 10 days
later. Prolific, not subject to scab but
subject to brown rot. This variety is
not as attractive as the other three,
but it possesses commercial possibill-
ties in that it closely follows the Ell
berta in time of ripening, and may
thus extend the harvest period.
The aim sought for in this work
was to get variety that was the equal
of the liberia, commercially, and
ripen about ten days later.

Hay Dried in England
By Electric Fan Process
Artificial Treatment Said to Increase
Its Feeding Value.

LONDON.-Making hay while the
sun shines is out of date. Hay is now
being grown in many parts OF Eng
land by methods over which the
weather has no control.
In these advanced sections the grass
is gathered, perhaps in damp state,
as soon as cut and crammed into
rick in the stack yard. An electric ian
does the rest.
When the rick is built metal cyl
inder is inserted so that an air cavity
is formed. This cavity will serve a
Seton rick to insure the safety OF the
curing and cooling process. A ian
placed in the cavity dries out the
grass and keeps it from rotting:
1t is claimed that hay dried IN the
rick has a higher percentage of al,
buminoids and carbohydrates, and
therefore increased feeding value over
that dried naturally.
