Do Not Rush Cotton on the Market.
The Farmers' Union urges her
members and farmers generally not to
rush their cotton on the market at
the present prices, which are below
the cost of production. Every bale of
cotton being sold is taken from the
producer at $20 per bale less than its
real value. Who is the bear on the
market? Is it not the producer? If
you would refuse to take the price
offered the speculators will have to
give your price. Can you do better?
Certainly you can. The Farmers' Un
ion has been offered all the money
necessary if we will only pr our
cotton in bonded warehouses. The
Union has a number of warehouses,
and the Standard Warehouse com
pany is also in position to store cot
ton. and issue receipts. The latter
company can store 70,000 bales and
issue receipts which will be negoti
able at any bank. Arrangements have
been made for carrying your cotton
for you if you will but cooperate. If
further information regarding this is
desired address the undersigned at
Pendleton, S. C. I would advise any
one putting their cotton in ware
houses to arrange for money for six
months at least.
Is. it good judgment to warehouse
cottonI I will answer yes, It is al
ways good judgment to warehouse
any product when it sells below pro
duction, and conditions will certainly
warrant it now.
As to the condition of the present
cotton crop, the weather over a large
portion of the belt is bad, and so are
prospects. Heavy rains are reported
over Texas, Oklahoma and Florida,
and reports of deterioration from the
cottop belt still come in from every
tate, and the world realizes now
at the crop is short. It will not
more than duplicate our last crop.
There will be no top crop this year,
and cotton is opening prematurely. I
want to urge our farmers to ware
house their cotton and get money on
it to settle their indebtedness and
inarket the crop as the world needs
it. By so doing you can get your
price.
It will pay the farmers to remem
ber that corn is now selling at $1.10
per bushel, bacon from 11 cents to 12
cents per pound, ham 18 cents to 20
eents per pound. Real, real farmers
are purchasers of the above articles.
Now, Irother, don't grumble when
the specular to offers you 8.75 and 9
ents for your cotton. He knows
that you have to pay for the above
articles you have bought to make this
cotton, and you. now have to meet
your obligations. Now, be fair and
don't blame him when he offers you
the~ present price. Remembat? that
buying bacon, corn, flour, molasses,
hay, guano, mules and horses is the
cause. I want you to remember that
there is no country where the above
articles can be raised cheaper than
here in South Carolina. The remedy
for 8.75' and 9 cents cotton is diver
sification of crops. So let me sug
gest that you write "diversify crops
this year" and tack it up in the most
conspicuous place about your -house,
so that you can be' reminded of it ev
ery day, and then do it, and you can
name your price for your cotton and
secure it for your 'whole crop. So
diversify. B ars

SLAUGHTE OF JACK RABBITS.
Texas Ranchmen Kill Them By the
Thousand.
It is getting near the season for
ack rabbit hunting in Midland coun
v, says a Midland correspondent of
e St. Louis Globe-Demeroat. In a
w more weeks one of tihe big annual
unts will take place on some ranch
here the rabbits 'are particu'larly
entiful. The hunt will'last all day
nd end with a barbecue. There will
plenty of fresh meat for the dogs,
the coyotes and the buzzards when
,the hunters get through.
*Tender-shearted visitors from the
east might be inclined to think that a
bunt in which all the way from 500
to 1,000 jack r'ibbits are killed is
eruel. They are not familiar with
jack rabbits.
The jae.k rabbit is a peculiar pro
duct of the plain. He does not live
.where fields are closely cultivated,
nor does he linger around long after
the mer'quite is grubbed, and the rich
sod turned over with a breaking plow.
A wild and care-free life for the jack
rebbit. who also likes a little spiee
tha~t comesC f*omIf invading. a ranch
~man's gtarden and orchard. The jack
Irabbit eats only things that are of
mine vilue when fed to something
el e. Therefo:re. the jack rabbit is a
pest. And as a pest the ranchmen and
c;r< join hanIds in getting rid of
jack rabbit has a sentimental side.
The prairie dt talks in short. sharp
barks. which ::re really not barks at
all, but calls almost identical with
the bluejay. The prairie dog is also
an eloquent conversationalist with his
tail, which, though short, is kept wag
ging all the time. Old plainsmen say
theat one prairie dog can talk to an
other wigwag fashion without utter
ing a sound.
Some evening the ranch telephones
in all the surrounding county near
where a hunt is scheduled will ring a
general alarm, and the ranchmen who
answer will hear a message for all:
"Going to be a rabbit hunt at the
J ranch tomorrow.'" That is all the
notice that is needed. On the same
evening the word will have passed
around in town and as many as have
'horses to ride will make plans to join
the sport.
Soon after dawn the next day a
procession of riders will start for the
ranch where the hunt is scheduled.
Preceding them will be a wagon or
two loaded with rolls of chicken yard
fencing, -which plays an important
part in the hunt. The men with the 1
fencing will drive straight to the
point where the hunt is scheduled to
end. Usually this will be the mouth
of a small canyon or draw. Here will
be built a corral of chicken wire, and
then stretchiig out from either side
of the corral's mouth will be run
tong lines of fence wire held in place
by stakes. Sometimes these two
wings or wire will make a V-shaped
mouth a quarter of a mile across. The
point of the V is the mouth of the
corral and into it eventually all the
jack rabbits will be driven for miles
around.
After all the preparations have 3
been made in the way of fencing the
hunt proper will begin miles bat of 1
the V-shapped wings. The hunters on
horseback will scatter until they are
a straight line across the prairie cov
ering several miles. There are women
as 'well as men among the riders, as
the riding is easy and liable to none
of the dangers attending the follow- 1
ing of hounds after coyotes. The hunt
has a captain, and at his signal, usu
ally the firing of a revolver, the line
of riders begins to move steadily for
ward. The outside riders move a
little faster and soon the line takes i
the form of a semieirele.
Steadily the riders move aeross the
plain and steadily the riders draw in
near each other as the corral wings
are approached. Before tlie advane
ing line the frightened ra.bbits are
already skipping alone and occasion
ally an expert with a revolver takes a
pot shot at one from the saddle.
As the wings are approaehed the
ridei-s increase their speed and the
rabbits run blindly. Before they
know it they 'have run against one of
the wire wings. There is nothing to
do but folloiw the fence, and in a few
minutes they have run through the
mouth of the corral.
A rabbit would never think, if rab
bits do think, of turning around and
trying to break - through the line of
horsemen. He keep on going until
surounded by the fence, when there
is no escape. When the round-up
ends 'the corral is filled with rabbits.
The number may range from a few
hundred up to a thousand. The rab
bits are killed with clubs or by dogs,
and the hunt is over.
Then comes quite as much of the
day's sport as the aunt itself-the
barbecue given by the ranchman
whose pastures have been rid of thei
pest. All day the beeves <have been
hanging over the pits near the ranch
house..- Coffee has been steammng min
boiler kettles and there is an aband- 1
anice of bread and piokles. The hun
gry hunters hurry to the scene of the
feast and, as it is usua'lly 3 o'clock
or after before the hunt is over, they
are ready for the meal.
After dinner the remainder of the
afternoon is sipent in pony racing,
maybe a baseball game or other
amusementsy and then there is an
other lunch on the remnants of the

The San Jose Scale in South Car
olina.
The San Jose (San Hozay) scale
is the most pernicious insect pest of
fruit and shade trees in South Caro
lina. In some sections the owners of
trees are cutting them down owing to
the presence of this insect. The Di
vision of Entomology of the South
Carolina Experiment Station has re
peatedly emphasized the fact in the
press that there is no necessity for
-utting down or other wise destroy
ing a tree merely because it is infest
ed with San Jose scale unless the
tree is so far gone that .t has not
mnough vitality left to recover after
the scale is killed. Although one of
the worst insects of America, it has
seen demonstrated over and - over
tgain that the pest can be success
gully and economically controlled.
Fruit growers all over the United
States who are troubled with this
est are controlling it by the sprays
Ikv'=ed for that purpose. All citizens
)f South Carolina who have trees dy
.ng or who know that their trees are
.nfested with scale, or who have
rees in an unthrifty condition are -
.nvited to write to the Division of
Entomology, South Carolina Experi
nent Station, Clemson College, S. C.
