COTTON PLUNGES
81 AT new YORK
Uneasiness Over Crop Curb and
U. S. Loans Felt-Stocks
Also Sag.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 11.-A wide
open break in the New York Cotton
Exchange today carried futures down
more than 81 bale.
Trade buying appeared on the de-
cline and served to check the down.
ward movement, although rallies were
feeble.
Old and new contracts alike we're
carried down by the selling. The
March position broke $665 bale to
basis of 1852 cents a pound; May
was down $3.50 a bale to 1888 cents:
July was down $3.50 a bale to 1850,
and October $3.50 to 1914.
Traders said there were no new de-
velopments affecting the staple which
would account for the slump, but the
market for some time had been
showing signs of uneasiness over crop
control uncertainties and lack of in
formation respecting the Govern
ments intentions with respect to
loans on the new crop.
Selling came from many quarters
and in sufficient volume to catch many
stop-loss orders. There were indica-
tions of heavy liquidation of stale
speculative accounts.
Today's break was the sharpest wit
messed in the Cotton Exchange since
September 8, 1927, when losses ran
to about $40 bale 1t exceeded even
the sharp setback in July. 1898, when
the imitation boom then under way
was pricked
The decline in cotton also disturbed
other speculative markets. Wheat
futures at Chicago dropped we'll over
2 cents bushel and corn about as
much. When the decline in cotton
was checked, however, grain prices
came back little. ....-.-.-
The stock market was also unset
tied. Early gains running to as much
as 81 share in some of the indus
trial issues were converted into losses
of somewhat greater extent. Some
stocks lost as much as ST to 50,
although recessions were moderate for
the most part.

Macedonia, the capture of 5000 rebel

istry ordered the vessel to proceed to

The government dispatches did not
mention a single clash with the rebels
but painted picture of rapid series
of capitulations and surrenderS of
villages into the governments hands.
These reports said that the revolu-
tionary officers and regiments of their
commands were fleeing eastward from
Macedonia while 5000 had Surrend-
cred to government forces.
Seres, where the government troops
met unexpected resistance last night,
was reported by Gen. George Kondy-

bellion in Crete, but that his pleas had
been ignored.
Athens went wild with excitement.

IN APPRECIATION OF
VISIT TO THE LITTLE
HOME ON THE HILL

Mrs. H. Weaver sends in the fol-
lowing expression of appreciation
from Lansing:
Last Saturday morning, to my sur
prise, crowd of the Presbyterian
young people came to visit me, and
they brought such beautiful basket
of apples, oranges, and flowers. It
did my heart good to be remembered
in this way.
Sometimes I get discouraged and
think my friends are all dead and
gone, but that visit made known that
I had some left on earth. Jesus said
cup of cold water given in His
name should be rewarded, and l am
sure that this group of young people
will be rewarded for this act of kind
ness.
They sang some songs and had a
prayer, and then went away. May
the blessing of the good Lord rest
upon every one of them.
The group included: Misses Kath-
crime O'Neal, Mary Sapp, Francis
Blevins, Ruth Davis, Mary Gambill,
and Messrs. Walter Osborne and
Irwin Barr.

CHANGES 70 BE MADE IN
PUNISHMENT OF PRISONERS

Just what will be the outcome of
the sweeping investigation of the
present methods of punishment meted
out to prisoners is not yet fully
known.
The two negroes who were punish
ed for disobedience in a way that
caused both to lose their feet, has
caused much comment and excite
ment among prison officials and the
public at large.
The Legislature appointed an in
vestigating committee whose reports
are not favorable to the two camps
in Mecklenburg county and Chairman
Capus Waynick Of the State Highway
and Public Works Commission, has
ordered the suspension of five en-
ployes at these camps.
There will in all probability be
some new legislation passed by the
General Assembly in disciplining pri-
sioners and marking the road to diff
ferent forms of punishment by the
prison authorities.

PLAN YOUR 1885 GARDEN NOW

Every family in the county should
plan to have a good garden this year.
A good garden is worth at least 5000
for the feed it produces, and is worth
many times that to the health of the
family. A one-half acre garden will
provide an abundance of fresh, stored
and canned vegetables for an aver
age family Of six.
Winter Flowing: If your garden is
unplowed, pillow it just as soon as you
get the land in proper condition and
leave it rough until planting time.
Give the soil the advantage of winter
freezing and thawing, which greatly
aids in pulverizing the land and
keeping it in good working order,
and also helps to kill insect and weed
pests.
: Manuring: Just before blowing ap-
ply liberal supply Of manure to
your garden. An application at the
too much. If impossible to get ma
nrre, decayed straw, leaves and other
rate OF 10 to Is tons per acre is none
organic matter may be used. Sowing
Of rye or crimson clover on the gar
den in the late summer and early fall
helps in adding humus matter to the
soil. .s,.
Burn Rubbish: Clean up and burn
all trash and vegetable residue on the
garden, especially along the fence
and corners. Such refuse is ! good
winter home for garden pests and
diseases.
Fertilizing Gardens: After harrow
ing or discing the garden, 500 to
1000 pounds of 4-8-4, or 4-12-4 ferti-
lizer per acre should be applied
broadcast, and then narrowed in, also,
several loads of fine, well decayed
manure may be applied. Additional
nitrogen and other fertilizers may
be used to side-dress rows of various
vegetables later on if desired.
Make or repair your hotbed and
cold frames now, so as to have them
ready when planting time arrives.

Loans to be Made Only to Farmers
Who Fail to get Credit Else
where for Necessities

Washington, March 24.-Farmers
of North Carolina will be able to
make emergency crop and feed loans,
from the $6O,OO0,00O fund appropri-
ated by Congress within week ac-
cording to Governor William /. Myers
of the Farm Credit Administration.
Governor Myers said the emergen-
cy loans will be made only to farmers
VIII are unable to obtain elsewhere,
supplies, feed, or the necessary credit
to purchase such items, and not to
any applicant who can obtain credit
from any other source, including pro-
duction credit associations.
AS in the past, applications for
emergency crop loans will be made
to the county crop loan committees
already set up in most counties.
Loans will be made only to appli-
cants who are cooperating directly
with the production control program
of the Agricultural Adjustment adj
ministration or who are not propos-
ing to increase their 1885 production
in a way detrimental to the success
of the program: A statement to to
this effect is contained in each loan
application.
Governor Myers said that the max
imum emergency crop loan to one
farmer this year is $400 and the
minimum is $40 but not loan for the
growing or harvesting of crops may
be made in an amount greater than
is actually needed in each case to pur-
chase seed and fertilizer necessary
for production. The fund is appro
priated specifically for emergency
purposes and must be used to assist
the maximum number of such needs,
he said. He also pointed out that
considerabl part of the funds must be
used to assist farmers whose operat-
ing resources have been depleted tenn
porarily as a result of the drought
last summer. Consequently, these
farmers are now in need of such
emergency loans to begin the new
crop year.
