A land of giant earthworms is re-
ported in the Australian Museum
Magazine.
This is the fertile Bass Valley, rich
dairy and potato country, where the
ploughs Of the farmers turn up thou
sands Of the species megascolides
australis. ranging from to IL feet in
length and about three-fourths of an
inch in diameter. This worm long has
been known to science, but has been
considered a rare variety.
1t is not known how the soil swal-
lowed by the earth worms is regurgi-
tated, but their progress through their
burrows is marked by gurgling and
sucking sounds loud enough to staTtle
the nearer. Thin. milky-colored jets
of fluid are calculated from the pores
on the backs CT the worms when they
are excited. Only one bird eats them
and only when it can find nothing
else. The average length is about 4
feet, but 6 and foot specimens are not
uncommon. T. r. H.

GOVERNORS URGE
EARN CONFERENCE
Hope Is Expressed Hoover
Will Call Session to Seek
= Cure for Ills.
Rvahe Associated Press.


CHARLOTTE, N. c., November 13.-
The Governors of the two Carolinas,
Virginia and Georgia sought remedy
for the ills of agriculture in their sec
ton at a conference here yesterday
with agricultural leaders of the four
STATES.
Divergent views on the question Of
mandatory cotton acreage reduction
came from Gov. o. Max Gardner of
North Carolina and Gov Ibra c. Black
wood of South Carolina. The North
CaRolinian suggested President Hoover
cali an international conference on cot
tons acreage reduction and warned that
the South might "cut its throat" by
reducing its acreage while the rest Of
the cotton growing world increased its
acreage.
Gov. Blackwood expressed belief no
great harm would come to the South
by the loss of part of the world cotton
market.
Hopes for Conference.
Gov. Gardner asserted President
Eopyer should call a national confer
enoe' on agriculture. He expressed hope
that the Nations Chief Executive would
notify the Governors Conference to be
held. at Jackson Miss, November %
that the Federal Government would
cali a national agricultural conference
at Washington.
Gov. Gardner, who called the con-
ference here, opened it with his ad-
dress. He was followed by Gov. Black
wood and then Gov. Richard B. Russell
OF Georgia and Gov. John G. Pollard
of Virginia were asked to give their
v1ews. Both demurred and the confer
eroe went into executive session.
Some 35 agricultural leaders, includ-
Ing the commissioners of agriculture of
the..four States, met with the Governors.
=, Sees Voluntary Reduction.
The North Carolina chief executive
asserted the farmers of the four States
represented at the conference would
drastically reduce their acreage planted
to tobacco. cotton, peanuts and pota-
toes in 1882 because of low prices paid
for~the crops this year He said the re-
ouMions would be made voluntarily
Al of the Governors spoke briefly at
luncheon given in their honor by the
Charlotte Chamber of Commerce.
GOV. Gardiner promised North Caro-
lima farmers voluntarily would reduce
their cotton acreage by 100000 acres in
1892.
Gov. Pollard said the agricultural
situation in Virginia was not so serious
as IN other States

GRAIN FUTURES
SELL DOWN ON
PROFIT-TAKING
Weak Securities Factor in
Decline; Corn Options
More Active.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
Units Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Oct. 2e.-Further
profit-taking sales on the Board Of
Trade today gave wheat a sharp
dip. There was little support at
the start and a scattering of over
night selling orders was sufficient
to depress prices. Liverpool was
strong on higher asking prices by
Russia and the advance in North
and South America.
Weakness in stocks was a factor.
Corn was steady and firm but price
changes were small. The cold
weather was a bullish influence.
Oats was dull and easy with wheat.
Opening Is Lower
At the opening wheat was 4 to
q cents lower, corn was unchanged
to Il cent off and oats 4 cent
lower. Provisions were steady.
A lower exchange was factor in
Liverpools q to INC advance today.
The cratic action of wheat
Wednesday has induced a more
conservative attitude on the part Of
the trade as to immediate trend Of
prices. The disposition now is to
move more cautiously on the buying
side on bulges although sentiment
remains bulliSh for the long pull.
Wheat prices have advanced 30
per cent in three weeks, rather
rapid if the advance is to be held.
Minneapolis December and Duluth
May sold at 70c, said to be the high
est any future has sold since the
sterilization operations were aban-
doned by the government.
Corn More Active
Corn is beginning to assume a
little more activity on the belief
that the holding movement in sew
eral states is progressing. The mar
ket remains largely local affair
and fluctuations in small range
with prices following wheat. The
weather was rainy with some snow
in Minnesota and the Dakotas with
temperatures lower.
There is a disposition to take pro-
fits on small bluges in oats, affect
ing any attempts at a sustained
advance. The seaboard reported
some foreign demand Wednesday.
