Crop Diversification
Is Strongly Urged

Atlanta, Ga.-The economic saliva
ton of the Georgia and the Southern
farmer can be gained only thru crop
diversification, in the opinion of the
officials of the Georgia Department of
Agriculture.
The one-crop is antiquated, these
officials show. It has kept the farm
ers of the South under burden of
debt for many years and was the
greatest bar to Southern progress
along all lines that the South has
known since civil war days, with its
farmers practically bankrupted, it was
not possible for Southern business of
any kind to prosper, for the farmer
was and is the backbone of business.
Growth of the diversi6cation idea
has been rapid in the South, it was
stated here. In Georgia many farmers
have within the past few years realiz-
ed that only thru diversified farming
and cooperative marketing could agri-
cultural freedom be obtained, and to-
day Georgia is one fthe leading
states of the South in agricultural pro-
gress.
Reduced Acreage Urged
With the boil weevil still grave
menace to cotton, and the promise
reduced demand for the staple vii
cause a decline in price before tn,
next crop is grown, it is important thai
farmers of Georgia, as we'll as the RES
of the South, move with great caution
in taking on more cotton acreage thar
they have been handling.
1t really would be the part of wis
dom for the cotton growers to cur.
tail their cotton acreage this year. A
larger acreage not only would cos
more to cultivate and gather, but il
would give the boil weevi1 more plants
to feed upon and destroy and if the
price of cotton should decline, as il
threatens to do, the farmer with the
larger acreage would face heavy fnan.

MAKING TESTS
OF WOOL LAW

CHEYENNE, WYO., APRIL 25.--
Test of Wyoming's pure Wool" act,
which require G~ al iai,YiJs Gis-
played for sale in=tliis state, if they
are purported to contain wool, shall
be plainly labeled with the amount of
virgin wool they contain, has been
postponed several months as the re-
suit of an agreement between Prose-
cutting Attorney Roche Mentzer of
Laramie county and counsel repre-
senting Cheyenne merchants charged
with violation of the act. In accord
ance with this agreement, five Of
seven cases against merchants nave
beer withdrawn from JUSTICE court
and the cases against the other two
will be withdrawn in justice court
when the prosecutor is ready to file
charges against these two in the dis
trict court. The transfer of the two
test" cases to district court prob
ably means that trial of the accused
merchants will not be reached before
ext August. If the trial of either
of the defendants in the test cases
results in a conviction an appeal will
be taken to The state supreme court
inc a final determination will be de-
layed several more months. Mean
while, it is stated, Cheyenne mer-
chants dealing in clothing will COM
ply with the provisions of the law.
The defendants against whom jug
tice court cases still stand and who
are to be made defendants in the dis
trcit court cases are Sam Stark and
Morris kruilak. both dealers in mems
clothing. The defendants the justice
court cases against whom were dis
missed are Louis Pasternack, Veta
Bros, Sam Marchick, Dan Bergman
and the Golden Rule.
Able Wyoming attorneys have
been retained to defend Stark and
Kruilak in the test cases and they
will have the services, as well, of II.
A. Friedrich of Chicago. representing
the National Association of Retail
Clothiers and Furnishers. Friedrich
came to Cheyenne to attend the o n
ference which resulted in the test
cases agreement. Wyoming counsel
of Stark and Kruilak are r. N. Mat
o of Cheyenne, e. e. Enterline of
Casper and Clarence A. Swanson of
Cheyenne. The latter is United
States referee in bankruptcy for the
district of Wyoming.
Arrayed with Prosecuting Attorney
Mentzer in the test cases may be
special counsel representing the Wy
oming Wool Growers association,
which organization sponsored the
Pure WOOL act. Kleber Hadsell of
Rawlins and Byron Wilson of Nc
Kinley. respectively vice president
and secretary of the Wool Growers
association. are the complaining wit
nesses in the test cases.
While a statement of the plans of
the defense is not available it is in
timated that the Pure Wool" act
will be attacked on constitutional
grounds.
The National Association of Retail
Clothiers and Furnishers Is interest
ed in the test cases because the Pure
Wool act affects all clothing sold by
makers to Wyoming merchants, re-
q~uiring that such clothing be labeled
with information containing its wiz
gin" wool content and furthermore
because the Wyoming law Is the
model for Truth in Fabrics legis-
lation which now is before the na-
tional congress.

Several native and cultivated
shrubs nave proven successful. The
list includes Missouri towering ur-

suckle, Harrison's yellow rose, Rus-
osa roses. elders, coral berry and
c~otoneostes. The native shrubs
which can be used include Buffalo
berry, choke cherry and mountain
honeysuckle.
Experience in tree planting has
shown the ACCESSIBILITY of digging
large holes in order to break up the
hard pan and to give the roots a
chance to spread without encounter
ing rocks. In planting hardwood
trees, these should always be cut
back and but a few stub branches
left Injured roots should also be
carefully trimmed. When planted,
the tree or shrub should be set in the
ground at a slightly lower level
than in the nursery. Soil is added
about the roots and firmly packed
with the hand. The soil should be
placed level about the tree and If
settling occurs more soil can be add
ed to keep the surface level. When
watered, the soil should be thorough
ly soaked as when the soil Is well
drained, no danger will result. 1t is
not sufficient to simply sprinkle the
soil as this only moistens the TOP
soil. II the ground is kept cultivated
for three or four feet about the tree,
and a dirt mulch maintained, less
evaporation will result and more
water will be available for the tree
If the grass Is kept some distance
from 1t.
Several nurseries are recon-
mended by the University, including
the Guernsey Nursery, Yankton, S.
Oak; Oscar II. Will. BisnIark, N.
Oak; State Nursery. Helena. Mon
tana; North Colorado Nursery, Love
land, Colo.;; S%ondereger Nursery
Beatrice, Nebr.; Harrison Nursery
Company. York, Nebr.; Jewell Nurs-
cry Company, Lake City, Min; and
Northwest Nursery Company, Valley
City, North Dakota. Trees and
shrubs may safely be planted for
two or three weeks later this spring,
provided dormant stock is specified
when ordering from nursery com
panies.

Cowboys and Colds
Stage Big Celebration
In Honor of Victories

Genuine enthusiasm and an Opt
mistic view of the future marked
student utterances when between SIX
and seven hundred men and women
of the University of Wyoming last
week participated in a gigantic cele'
bration in honor of the Cowboy de-
bateing, boxing, and wrestling teams
according to reports from the State
University. In order to aid in the
celebration the University officials
declared a half holiday and in other
ways assisted in making the celebra-
toin a graet success.
The celebration was preceded in
the forenoon by speeches and
stunts" before a student mass meet
ing presided owe by A. G. Crane,
President of the State University.
At this meeting short stunts were
staged by the members of the de-
batting teams, the wrestling team and
the boxing team and speeches were
made by DI Crane. Debate Coach
II. II. Higgins, boxing coaches G. H.
Mcconnell and Fred Parks and by
Jack and Jim Lynch, Cowboy wrest-
ling coaches.
The debating teams. with 32 out
of Sc victories are holders of a re-
cord believed to be unequaled in the
history OF intercollegiate debating
while the boxing team recently won
the Rocky Mountain Conference
Championship. The wrestlers. altho
including several men new to the
mat game, succeeded in winning sec
ond place at the 1924 conference
meet at Boulder.

THE SIGNIFICANCE
OF ARBOR DAY

Governor Ross has issued his an
nual proclamation designating May
9Th as Arbor Day. This day has
been observed In Wyoming since
1883 when a Law was passed sug-
costing Its yearly observance. Arbor
Day in America originated In Nebras-
ka in 1872, as the result of efforts
of ii. j. Sterling Morton who was
then a member Of the State board
OF Agriculture and who later became
United States Secretary Of Agricul-
ture. II Is now universally observed
throughout the country.
Nothing so helps to beautify a city
as do trees and the are of trees
serves to educate the people in pub
lie spirit and foresight. Arbor Day
Is a means of doing practical good
to the community and an incentive
to civic betterment. The planting of
trees by school children impresses
upon them the beauty OF trees and
tueir eject in improving the appear
Rnce OF school grounds. streets and
parks. A clean and beautiful town
is u source OF pride to its citizens,
A %slovenly, unimproved. treeless
town Is likely to have s~loyenly in
habitants.
After the world war. the thoughts
of the people turned to finding suit
able memorials to those who had
fallen. In many cities and commun-
tiles, the sacrifice made by the citi-
zens has been commemorated by the
planting, with suitable ceremonies,
OF groves or OF trees. These
should serve as monuments to Others
fallen soldiers.

NEW YORK COTTON AYlNIIY XAn H1A :

NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES
 NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 14.-Consump- tion figures were considered favorable in the cotton market today, but after advances of 10 to 2S points soon after the opening, pronounced weakness de- veleped and persisted until practically the close. The best weather of the winter over the belt and further 3un- favorable accounts from cotton goods markets were mainly responsible for the selling, which toward the; end had prices 68 to 119 points under the last prices of yesterday. The close was 6S to 116 points net lower on the day. March traded as low as 31 .92c. and sold at 31.97c in its last transaction. October traded as low as 26.50c, and that price census bureau figures of 576,644 bales uary were much higher than expected, but were offset by the clear dry and fairly warm weather prevailing over the cotton region. This, together with the duNness in the cloth markets, brought out. a great deal of liquidation from the long side. The interior sold heavily. .s.nSs iSis .''l

COTTON BREAKS
 SPOINTS NDAY
Domestic Consumption Figures, Considered Bullish, Fail To
 Import Strength {.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1l.LBullish figures on domestic consumption for the month of January failed to create any huying power in the cotton market today. and . moderate early advance was followed by very severe break In priees.~ Tho selling, much of which came from the south, was accompanied by reports that mills were hedging stocks of SyArns sor goods, and the market was also. uhder pressure. of offerings from Liverpool and local sources. May broke from 38 25c to 32.05c, making a. net decline of 95 points, and July was evsn weaker, selling off to, S0.62c,l or .113 points net lower. Closing prices were at theslow- est on most positions, with the smArket easy at net declines of s5 to 113 toints on old crop months and of S9<to 100 points on the later deliveries. r -2; pfS
 The market opened firm sat@an ad- vance of 21 points to . decilnss of $ points. Liverpool was lower tlnn due, but the opening here was ihkluenced by the report of the censu1 buresu showing that domestic miilsk had con sun1ed 576, ,64< bales for January, ,t 'c0in- pared with 461 ,515 for December. These figures were considerably E above ex- pectations and attracted ns.gc0d deal of bullish comment, but evidently failed to check offerings. Ass soon as the initial buying orders had Aeen .tub- piled, the market turned weak under a continuation of the selling movement and became very nervous and unsettled during the afternoon on continded com plaints of a poor demand for cotton goods, the talk of accumulation stocks of both goods and yarns at the mills and reports that holders of spot cot ton in the south were selling hedges here on the decline. March sold off to 31.75c, or 112 points net lower, and old crop months generally touched the lowest prices reached ins the market since the present decline started from the 37-cent level of late last November. New crop months were relatively quiet and steady during the entire day. Ap- prehensions of labor troubles in Eng land may have contributed to the de- cline, but local brokers attributed the weakness chiefly to the Hnfavorabie views of the cotton goods situation.
