Agricultural E. D. Smith's Views On the Cotton Growers' and Cotton Spinners' Conference--Warehouses to be Built throughout the South. From the State. "Willie the conference between the cotton spinners and the cot ton growers was not al! that 1 wi-hed for, st was a great begin mug and forced upon the English spinners and the spinners of Fall River the fact that they must hereafter recognize the cotton grower as a factor in their operations instead of the cotton spec utor," said Mr. E. I). Smith, wh< was in the city yesterday. Mr Smith is just back from Waph mgton where he attended th? conference as a member of the executive committee of the Southern Cotton association, and bp is very enthusiastic over the results and the outlook for a bet ter understanding when the crop of this year is baled. "Briefly summed up," he con tinned, "both spinner and grow er learned something. We learn ea tnat we must organize tnor ooghly, develop mnreoncommer ical lines and concentra'e oui cotton in warehouses to be buill all over the South by the associa tion. At present my plan is to or ganize a warehouse company it every State in the South, th< warehouses to be built by an an sessraent on every cotton bale In these warehouses the farmeri could store their cotton and ob tain advances at the price to b< fixed by the cotton association not by the Liverpool, New Yorl and New Orleans cotton exchang es." Mr. Smith said this last verj emphatically, lie has fought per sistently for a farmers'control o the farmers' product and neve loses opportunity to bring thi out. "Should there be a Hale of ou warehoused cotton over the prici hxed by the association, whicl may happen because of an extra ordinary demand for the staple we would give to each farme depositing hifl cotton in the ware houses hts prorata share of tin advance, first deducting what i necessary for the expenses o running the warehouses and in snrance. All of this was goiu over at the meeting although i wa? not enlarged on to any grea extenr. We, however, will shov the hall River and English Hpin ner vet that we control the mar ket. As for the Southern sninnfr who attended the convention, hI were enthusiastic over the ache meH advanced by us and assurer us of their heartiest support." ''Suppose you build your ware houses and a small number o farmers refuse to deposit thei cotton with you?" he was asked. "Why we will simply buy thei; cotton and prevent them fron placing it on the market," repliei Mr. Smith easily and in the man nerof one who had thought all o this out before. "Handled" Eggs. aiucii^nu rnnuer, A Now Jersey genius claims to have succeeded in producing an egg with a handle. To the incredulous, inclined to doubt tli story, he exibits seven egirs witli Department. these ,4!ateat improvement^" ail pr ^duoed by White Leehorns. The t tr. ak is described as having ot? j he small end a protuberance from the shell ahout as big aa'he h uid'e of a small demitasse. The < butt of the egg is fl-itteried , that the egg stands by itselt. thus taking the point off 'hat famou-i pt : erim^nt of C >111 mh who had to break the egc to en able it to st"?nd alone. Anyone can see tie commercial value o; this new product, if 'he claims hold cood. Dealers will find them so much easier to handle and e g cups wtll be superfluous, when the new variety is lull vogue. ? Work For The Month. 1. May is the most pressing i month in the year, on the farm-j > s0 miny things to plant and everything needing work at once. ! Much depends upon getting the I .... | crop worked before the grass can ' j get a start. May is the crucial i time. If a farmer can manage to do everything as it should be done in May he is pretty safe for a good crop. 2. We are all behind on account of so much rain and cold, but do not get in such a hurry that you can not do your work j right. It always pave to have aj good seed bed. It pays in the stand you get, in the rapidity with which the crop will grow off and the thoroughness and ease with which you can cultivae it. 3 We all feel pressed on ac count of the scarcity of labor This is largely due to the fact ' that all want to spread out on ' account of good prices, but retlect ?that if we could all make as much as we desire the prices would immediately come down 1 a t ItDtr i r\r r>o c? r 1 oral ^/\ ?
