could, too." he explained.
Diamond. Stewart said, was leader
of a wild herd at Cilia llend, Ariz.,
until July, 1!>34.
I started out with two horses," he
added, "but the other one was a roping

FARMER FACES LARGER
8UPPLY OF WORLD COTTON
The American cotton farmer In
planning l?iw next year's operation* In
now faced with a smaller supply of
American cotton but a largerv worhl
supply of all cotton, due to Increased
foreign production in 1936 1937, the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
says In its annual outlook report.
Pointing out that conditions In the
United States are conducive to a
larger cotton acreage in 1937, the hu-'
reau said that an increase in production
in an amount substantially great
or than the reduction in tjtils year's
world carry-over of American cotton
might be burdensome.
The bureau also pointed out that
while increased exports would help
to strengthen the competitive position
of American cotton in / world
markets, the advisability of increasing
exports depend* on its bearing
on producer income ^jver a period of
yours.
The bureau, summarizing the cotton
outlook, said: .
"With a further reduction in world
curry-over of American cotton in
1937, us now appears probable, the
1937 United States crop could be increased
somewhat without giving a
world supply of American cotton for
the season 1937-1938 larger than the
comparatively small supply of this
cotton for the present season.
An increase in the 1937 crop by a
quantity substantially greater than
the reduction in the carry-over from
August 1, 1936 to August 1, 1937,
would tend to reduce prices, unless
offset by an increase in demand for
American cotton or by a rise In the
general price level.
"The effect which such a reduction
In cotton prices would have on the
income to producers would tend to
be offset by the increased volume of
American cotton. Although an increase
in the supply of American cotton
for export would tend to strengthen
the competitive position of American
cotton in world markets, the advisability
of increased production demands
upon its effects on the income
of producers not only in the next
year or two but over a period of
years."
The bureau reported that "the world
supply of all coton for the 1936-1937
season is now (late October) expect
ed to be considerably larger than in
either of the two previous seasons
and 15 per cent, above the average
for the ten years 1923-1924 to 19321933.
The total world carry-over at
the beginning of the current season
was 1,600,000 bales less than a year
earlier but this decline is expected
to be more than offset by an increase
in world production.
"The world supply of American cotton
in 1936-1937, however, Is expected
to be about 1.000.000 bales less than
in the previous season, the lowest in
twelve years and 9 per cent, less than
the ten-year average. The world carry-over
of American cotton at the beginning
of the season was approximately
2,000.000 bales Icbs than a year
earlier and the smallest in six years,
but was 17 per cent, larger than the
ten-year average.
"With the carry-over of foreign cotton
materially above the average for
the ten years ended 1932-1933 and the
prospective production the largest in
history, the supply of foreign cotton
In 1936-1937 is expected to reach a
new peak and exceed the average by
11 per cent. The increase in the
supply of foreign cotton in comparison
with the average is largely the
result of the marked increase in Russian.
Brazilian, and Chinese growths,
riie increase over 1935-1936 is largeb
due io im increase in Chinese. Russian
and Indian.
Total foreign production this season
is expected to reach 17.5u0.000
bales, an int rease of l,60o.000 hales
over the record crop of the pre\ious
season and 50 per cent, above the
t< n year average. Such a crop would
exceed the 1936-1937 United States
production hy 5,9f)o.nno bales or 51
per rent . whereas in the ten > ars
ended V.)">2 19".3 the domestic .r.-p ex
reeded tll.lt o| foreign eolllltli.v l,v
3.2bales.
W it h a prospet t (if some in. r. use
in wiir! I . m r\ over ot foreign cottons
in 1P".7. the supply of sin h (ott-m for
the season 1''37-193S will probnb v be
somewhat larger than the unusually
, large supply ot the mrrent s. a.son.
unless tile for. ign crop in 1.'27 1938
is substantially smaller than in the
present season."
Di-cussing prices, the bureau sj.ld
that "changes In supplies of f. ivjgn
cotton affect materially the prh e of
Am. ric an . eti.m. If the supply of
foreign cornm should continue increase,
relative to American cotton,
it would tuwonie increasingly influential
in determining the world prim of
all cottons Moreover, the increasing
adaptability of manufacturing processes
to a wider range of staple lengths
and the increasing proportion of
foreign cotton which is similar In
quality to American are tending to
increase the" direct competition gf
foreign cotton with American in world
markets An Improvement In the
quality of cotton produced in many
A
i localities in the I'nited States would
tend to strengthen the competitive po- j
sition of American cotton in world
t
markets. ' *
Regarding cottonseed, the bureau
said that "the supply attention, especially
if accompanied by a further <
increase in demand, if favorable to ,
maintaining prices of cottonseed and
cottonseed products during the current
season at levels higher than the
comparatively high prices of the previous
season."

NO TROUBLE ABOUT LACK OF
NEGROE8 ON JURIE8 LIKELY
Trouble over the selection of Juilew
Irr North ("arolltm haw caused a
number of people to wonder If the
warn? situation would likely arise In
South Carolina. The concenaua of
local attorney* is that there will be
no Much Rouble In thia Htate ut lea?t
for Home time to come. The Htate
supreme court of this state has held
that the method of selecting Juries
In South Carolinu does not dUcrtminate
against aegroei. The Ktatutes
provide that all Jurymen be qualified
electors and the qualifications for an
elector are that he be a citizen of
the stute for the required length of
time, be of good moral character and
sound Judgment, has paid his poll tax
six months prior to election for which
ho qualifies. It also provides that he
must be able to read and write but
In case he cannot do so he may qualify
by showing that he has paid taxes
on $300 or more worth of property.
As a result of those qualifications
there are very few colored qualified
^lectors in this state.
It is argued however, that the "fe w
who are? qualified electors, may have
to have their names placed In tho
Jury box but even this is not certain
as only one third of the qualified
electors must have their names in
the jury box. ?
The law governing selection of jurymen
is as follows:
"The said county auditor, county
treasurer and the clerk of court of
common picas of each county shall,
in the month of December of each
year, prepare a list of such qualified
electors, under the provisions of the
constitution, between the uges of
twenty-one and sixty-five years, of
good moral character of their respective
counties, as they may deem
otherwise qualified to serve as jurors,
being persons of sound Judgment
and free from legal exemptions, which
list shull include not less than one
from every three such qualified electors
under the provisions of the constitution
and of good moral character,
to be selected without regard to
whether such person lives within five
miles from the court house."
The supreme court has held that
there is nothing In this section of the
statutes that is discriminatory. The
statue reads as follows on this point.
"There is nothing in this section
which discriminates against individuals
on account of race or color or
previous condition, or which subjects
such persons to any other or different
treatment than other electors who may
be qualified to serve as jurors. Competent
colored men are equally eligible
with others for service under this
section."
I ho qualification for an elector are
as follows under the statues of this
state.
"Every citizen of this state and the
United States twenty-one years of age
and upwards, not laboring under any
disabilities named in the constitution
of 1895 of this state, who shall have
been a resident of this state for two
years, in the county one year, In the
polling precinct In which the elector
offers to vote four months before any
election, and shall have paid six
months before any election any poll
tax then due and payable, and who
can both read and write any section
of the said constitution submitted to
said elector by the registration officers
or officers, or can show that he
or she owns and has paid all taxes
collectable during the previous year
on property in this state assessed at
$300 or more and who shall apply for
registration shall be registered.
Beard Much Longer
Than Jap Champion
Tokyo. Nov. 7.? Maojiro Kato's
beard so long he has to be careful
not to trip over it, won the national |
championship Saturday as the longest
in Japan.
Knto, a 72-year-old patriarchal hard-J
ware dealer, is only five feet, one inch i
tall. His beard is five feet. si\ in< fits
lung. And it causes him plenty
of bother.
When Kato goes walking he stuffs j
the ends of his flowing white wiiis- i
kers in a specially made hand-bag !
to keep tliem from dragging on the
ground.
Orders have b. en issued in Germany
for fines to be 'as large as

Search For Missing
Judge Gets Impetus
San Diego, Calif., Nov. 7.?C. R. Gilliland,
Pine Valley construction foreman,
today identified a picture of the
mlSHing Justice Joseph F. Crater, of
New York, as that of a prospector
he had seen seven months ago.
Gilliland told Deputy Sheriff Chester
Grade, that the prospector who
appeared to be cultured and have
money, stopped at the Butterfield
stage station which he was rebuilding
atop Mountain Springs grade.
He had a string of seven heavily
laden burros and said he was heading
for the wild Jacumba country
seking gold. Gilliland said the prospector
talked with him and had dinner,
staying about four hours.
