 Country

Washington, n. C., Oct. 1.-The province of Friosland. in the Meth erlands, which recently held an az rlcultural fair at the provincial capital, Lecuwarden, is one of the most important dairying regions of Europe. Black and white I'ricsian cattle, a breed known in America as HolStHin- -Fricsian, have found their way into most Of the milk and butter countries of the world.
 Friesian cattle were mentioned by the Roman historian Tacitus as be irg Of importance as early as the year oS A. n. Perhaps because Of this early start. or by reason Of the favorable location of the prov ince in regard to industrial cities Of northern Europe, Freisland farm CTS have grown prosperous through many years of furnishing their neighhors with butter and leosc.
 Grazing Lands Below Sea Level
 This northern province Of the Netherlands lies between that arm bl 1It btt'bl hI'N IT dS ilIf /'tN 'i'. | Zee and the North Seas.

Canal-hor1ored fields are filed with black and white grazing cattle.
 In winter. however, weather con- d,,ions are often severe. Storms Of wind and rain may lash over the land for days. The necessity for feeding and warming milk cow during such periods has developed q style of domestic farm architer- tnre peculiar to T'rioslard Barn and dwelling arc under one roof. which rises high into the sky in order tc provide loft spaC. for the immense amount of hay needed as cattle feed during the long winter.

 Hospitality Life of Hills
 The peasantry around Balmoral are a cheerful lot, hard working and intensely religious. The white-wash- ,d interiors of their cottages with open hearth and china -decked dress er form an appropriate background tor life among rugged hills, severe yet hospitable. Royal visitors from rhe castle have often stopped in such simple surroundings when cvcrtallen by storm or fatigue on some highland journey. This free dom Of pNisteuc" was even in Queen Nictoria's day a feature of life at Ralmoral T. is one Of the charms which wear after year draw BruainS rulers 10 their castle in the Scottish highlands for an August holiday.

YARN PRICES HOLD FIRM,
SOUTHERN BULLETIN SAYS

CHARLOTTE. n. c., March l9 R).
Conditions in the yarn market re-
main unchanged says the weekly
bulletin issued by the Southern
Yarn Spinners' Association. Trad
ing is confined to small purchases of
hand-to-mouth variety. SpinnerS'
prices are held firm at a considera-
BILE advance over market quotations.
Unquestionably there is potentially a
large demand for yarn not yet COW
cred by purchases. Just what is
necessary to bring this demand into
evidence remains to be developed.
THE slight recession in cotton
values has not caused a commensu-
rate softening in yarn prices. Buy
ers believe that spinners' prices are
high, while in fact today's yarn
prices are below replacement cost.
"Spinners are experiencing increas-
ing difficulty in securing supplies of
good grade. clean. white cotton, even
at q material premium over New
York spot quotations"
