Marketing Bill
At CAPITAL Conference

Washington, Oct. S1-Formal an
nourcement was made today by
Secretary Jardine Of the department
of agriculture, that a representative
group of spokesman Of various farm
organizations had agreed on the
terms of a new cooperative market
ing bill which will be presented to
Congress at the December session
with the endorsement of the admin
istration.
This measure will be the major
item on Pres. Coolidge's program OF
the relief for American agriculture.
Its approval by Secretary Jardine
means that no further consideration
will be given by the administration
to the marketing proposals Of the
Coolidge farm commission that fall
ed of action in the last congress.
The new bill Is the product OF a
conference in which 20 leaders OF
the larger farm cooperative organi-.
cations Of the United States as well
as the department Of agriculture
were represented. 1t reconciles IN
large measure conflicting views as
to just what steps the federal gov
eminent should take in encouraging
cooperation by farmers in the mar
keting of their goods.
In the course of a discussion of the
subject today Secretary Jardlne de-
clared the new plan as still in
formative stage" awaiting sugges-
lions from cooperative leaders VINO

Former Glory Of
Fort Pulaski Now
But a Semblance

Savannah. Ga, Oct. 81 (AP) -
Rearing their damp sides above the
widespreading green marshes, the
mouldy brick walls Of old Fort Pu-
iaski present but a semblance of
their former glory.
Guarding the mouth of the Savan-
nah river, the fort which was once
regarded az well-nigh impregnable,
is now but a she'll A wild tangle Of
brambles and bushes has grown up
in the court yard; dark pits Of stag
nant. snake-infested water take the
place of the clean cistern of yester-
year, and the deep moat has become
choked with debris.
Citizens here have started a move
ment to persuade the government to
turn the fort over to the city. in
order that 1t may be restored. It is
planned to make the fort easily ac-
cessible TO visitors by the construc-
ton of a new pier over the marsh
between the fort and river.
Visiting the fort now is q matter
of difficulty. After a long row in a
boat, one reaches the north side Of
the channel and lands at a rickety
wharf leading to the fort. The en-
trance Is across a wooden bridge Uf
modern construction. Heavy bolts
stud the doors, which hang idle.
A scene of desolation is inside.
Weeds and underbrush choke the
courtyard, while few struggling
peach trees, planted during the occu-
pancy of the fortress, intermingie
with the brush.
Although the dungeon may now be
entered with safety, the hum of thou
sands of mosquitoes warns the visitor
of their presence. The parapet is
mounted by q fight Of granite stairs.
From it one is given a view Of the
marshes which surround the fort for
miles in three directions, while to the
east Is the open sea.
Placements for the big guns are
situated on the parapet. The old,
heavy weapons were at one time
hoisted by means of rude derricks
made Of stout planks and block and
tackle. The gun chambers served as
sleeping and living quarters for the
men. Long ago the ancient cannon
were removed to arsenals.
Fort Pulaski was named for Briga-
dier General Count Casimir Pulaski,
Polish nobleman, who fell in the de-
Tense Of Savannah during the Amer
lean Revolution. At the time Of its
construction, the fort could with
stand any type Of cannon ball fred
against 1t, but during the siege Of
February. 1862, rified cannon made
q number OF breaches In the walls.
