NEW ORLEANS COTTON
(By Associated Press.)
NEW ORLEANS, June 30.—Cotton futnres
opened steady at a‘ loss of two.to four points
on poor cables and a fairly favorable weather
map. Scattered showers were reported in the
cotton region and the outlook appeared to be
for more molstnre. Reports from the belt were
wore encouraging than otherwise, although sev
eral states complained that a general soaking
rain was needed. No support was given me
market in the early trading and moderate sell
ing served to hold It down. At the end of the
first half-hour of business prices were six to
seven points under Saturday’s close.
The detailed weather reports showed that
all sections of the belt got more or less rain
within 4S hours and that, while general relief
to dry districts had not been experienced,
enough rain had fallen to cause drouth talk
to appear -unreasonable. At a level 8 to 9
points down the market took on a steadier tone
and, with some little buying to realize profits
on the part of sealplDg shorts, recovery start
ed. The upward trend was very gradual and
the market at no time during the morning dis
played decided strength. At noon the trading
months were 1 point up to 2 points down, com
pared with final figures of last week.

HAYWARD Sc CLARK’S COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS, June 30.—Weather develop
ments over Sunday were distinctly favorable.
Rainfall was good and general except in Ar
kansas and Oklahoma, and it was slightly cool
er except in the north central belt. Indica
tions are for more rain in the entire belt ana
cooler in the northern portion. Arkansas has
good prospects of getting the needed rains.
The Shreveport Times says reports from 12
parishes in north Louisiana indicate that crop
shows considerable improvement. Needs rain but
hot weather has kept weevil damage down.
Liverpool was poor with futures about four
lower than due. Spots unchanged, sales 8,00o.
Our market eased In the early trading to
around 11.50 for new crops but was, as usual,
pulled up by the streugth of July New York,
which according to a report from Liverpool that
•pot demand is slow, and advices from New
York, is the main feature of the market.
Montgomery sent the only unfavorable crop
report.

NEW YORK COTTON LETTER.
NEW YORK, June 30.—There has been no
feature today worthy of comment. In the early
trading there was some scattered short covering
of July, which brought out some selling of this
option and prices were sent down some 12 ro
15 points. There was very little trading in
new crop. Rains shown on map over Sunday
were regarded as a bearish factor and brought
out some selling, there was no special support
In evidence. There Is a good deal of discus
sion today of the amendment to the tariff bill
placing a tax of 1.10 per cent on cotton con
tracts for future delivery. This Is having a
depressing effect and restricting trade to a
great extent.—Anderson.
NEW YORK STOCK LETTER
NEW YORK, June 30.'—The market was dull
and Inclined to be reactionary after the sharp
advance of Saturday. The attitude taken by
the administration regarding the settlement of
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific problem is
encouraging to investors and shows that Presi
dent Wilson is trying to elp business inter
ests as much as he consistently can. Crop news
should be watched carefully. If favorable
climatic conditions continue we believe stock
prices will show improvement.—Potter.
Wearers of Slit
Skirts Must Wear
An Undergarment
(By Associated Press.)
LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 28.—Chief of
Police Lindsay today issued a blanket
order for the arrest of wearers of slit
skirts which are minus protecting un
dergarments.
“A number of women have been ap
pearing upon the streets of Louisville
In dresses which the laws of decency
forbid and I believe this is without
doubt a disorderly act,” says the chief’s
order.
“I refer to skirts which are split up
the side, exposing the limb.As long as
an undergarment is worn beneath the
slit dresses it is all right, but where
a flagrant exposure is made it is the
duty of the police to make arrests.”
Chief Lindsay said that women who
have the “nerve” to appear on the
streets in slit dresses will not mind "a
little thing like a police court trial.”

of good weight and quality and in fair flesh.
Aside from these there were only a few

‘Blind John" a Tartar;
His Bulldogs Worse:
Police Down 'Em All
In the rear of 470 Decatur street
there is a tiny cottage where a robust
individual, known to the police as
“Blind John,” because both of his orbs
are sightless and his Christian name is
John, hold sway. Saturday night
"Blind John” drowned his sorrows with
such boisterous results that neighbors
telephoned for the police about 1
o'clock Sunday morning, and Call Offi
cers Jones and Watson responded.
“Blind John” refused to let them
into his little home by the door, and
when the two policemen climbed Into
the window he cailled upon two big
bulldogs, who lead him about Atlanta's
streets, to protect him.
The officers managed to fight the
dogs off until the blind man’s wife
came and rescued them.
Freed from the restraining Influence
of the two dogs, the call men started to
take John away. The blind roan fought
them for some minutes before they
could drag hi from the house to the
patrol wagon, and finally they landed
him, still fighting, at police headquar
ters, where a curse was the only an.
swer the desk sergeant got when he
asked him his name.
TOWNS ALONG W. & A. TO
DISCUSS LEASE QUESTION
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
A DAI RH V i l.l,K, Ga., June 28.—At a
mass meeting of citizens here a memo
rial was issued to towns along the
Western and Atlantic railroad asking
them to hold similar meatings and dis
cuss the disposition of the road.
It is planned to present the views of
each town to the W. & A. convention
to be held in Atlanta.
Saving and Investing
The Astor Investments.
BY JOHN M. OSKISOH
Fourteen months after John Jacob As
tor went down with the Titanic the of
ficial appraisal of his estate was complet
ed. That appraisal showed a total value
of about $88,000,000, nearly $25,000,000
in stocks and bonds and other forms of
personal property, and over $63,000,000
in real estate holdings.
The Astor theory of investment, so far
as realty is concerned, has always been
a simple one. It is to go ahead of the
tide of development in New York City,
buy property in large tracts, pay taxes
on it until the ctiy’s growth hems the
property round, then erect “taxpayers”
(low and inexpensive buildings to be
let as stores and offices, and finally when
the district gets fixed in character, to
make long term leases with builders who
want to put up big structures.)
In this way farms have been con
verted into city lots in the course of
years at a tremendous profit to the As-
tors. Among the hundreds of parcels
of real property left by John Jacob As
tor the lowest in value of those describ
ed in the newspaper reports of the ap
praiser’s work was put in at $8,000. The
highest was valued at $10,400,000.
There is little doubt that the later
investments of the John Jacob Astor
fortune were confined rather strictly to
stocks and bonds. In the list given
some of the heaviest investments were
of railroad and industrial securities
which have become known as investment
issues only within the present genera
tion. For instance, there were nearly
four millions in the stocks and bonds
of a Niagara power eompany, nearly a
million and a half of the stock of the
Pullman company, and various large
holdings of bank and trust company
stocks which have rather recently been
created.
This was a perfectly normal develop
ment—one which the investor will take
into consideration. He is a wise buyer
who confines his purchases of real es
tate to the undeveloped portions of a
city which is su’"? to grow. When that
growth stops is time for the real
estate buyer > look for other oppor
tunities to r ,.e his money grow.
Among tl great number of stocks
and bonds i;i this estate certain small
lots were leported by the appraiser as
of nominal or nd value. But in the bulk
the Astor estate holdings were good.
They were chcsen wtih the factor of
safety in mind all the time. Probably
the income from the whole list of stocks
and bonds would not run as high as 5
per cent on the investment.
The Importance of Irrigation
E VERY year forces me to see
more than ever the Impor
tance and value of irrigation
in some form for all sections of the
south. Today irrigation is being
largely practiced in all of the dry
and aired sections of the country.
They have learned of its value and
without it they could not exist. It
has further converted many of the
barren deserts into lands worth
hundreds and thousands of dollars
per acre, and today irrigation is
doing more towards feeding the na
tion than any one would imagine.
Without its use we would probably
have a famine in this country, and
billions of dollars have been ex
pended by the government and in
dividuals to harness up water in
time of plenty and have it so lt can
be converted to growing crops at a
time that it was most needed. With
the thousands of gallons of water
we have in abundance all over this
section of country is certainly folly
is for us to allow this great product
not to he converted into food or
money through the growing crops
when it can be done in this section
so cheaply and to such great advan
tages. The people of the south have
heretofore made a living so easy,
such as it was, and have been able
to exist with so litle effort until we
little appreciate what is ahead of
us and what we will have to do here
after to meet competition, and we
will be forced sooner or .later to
utilize the great advantages that we
have if we are enabled to keep up
with the progressive times and meet
competition from every land as we
are being forced to do every day.
There are now quite a few people in Georgia using irrigation in some
form or other, and thousands of acres in Florida have been made to pro
duce wonderful crops for the people of that state, and it has made many a
man rich who has taken advantage of the opportunities it offers for him.
I see every year with more force .than ever the importance of its use in
Georgia. I have never yet seen a year that seasons were ideal throughout
the entire year for producing the possibilities of an acre in our state.
There is always some time and usually several times during the year when
the rain or water can be used to great advantage. Irrigation to the farm
er is the same thing as fire 'insurance is to property owners. When we
need it we need it badly and unless we. have it our year’s work is often
lost or Its actual value not utilized as it could be if we had Irrigation at
times to carry us through for even a few days or a week to keep our
crops growing during the dry spells and keep them fro mbecoming hard
and scalded. Even enough to keep moisture in the soil during these hot
dry spells, which are usually short, will often save a growing crop until
we do have rain to make a heavy yield. No man can count absolutely
certain now on making a full crop of anything unless these precautions
are taken, hut with it you know absolutely sure and certain you can use
Just as much fertilizer as you want, put just as much work as you want
on an acre of land and know positively that you will secure a full yield from
your efforts and investment, and I believe that it is the best investment &

man can possibly make. «
Everyone should fortify themselves with at least one to five acres
of irrigation somewhere on their farm so that they can he absolutely cer
tain of never making a total failure and producing enough to carry you
safely through the year even though your other crops do not make a big
yield. With the large number of rivers, creekB and branches all over our
state, a small gasoline engine can so easily put this water on the land,
either to be carried up and down rows, to flood the land or by overhead
pipe system, all of which are possible and profitable as it only cost a small
amount of money to install this system and when once done it is there
forever, With irrigation a person can raise an unlimited amount of veg
etables and potatoes on an acre of ground and keep something growing the
entire year. They can plow and plant any day they desire and usually
make as much on one acre as a person has a chance to make on ten with
out it. The United States government will gladly send bulletins on the
subject of irrigation and the different irrigation companies, one of which
has an office in Atlanta, are always glad to give this information and refer
you to visit and inspect the different plants that are constructed near you
and see what they are actually doing.
With the proper attention given this work it would be of untold value
to this state, and would make every man who used it properly as much if
not more money on the investment than any money thaV could possibly
be spent in connection with the average farm or truck garden. The day
is coming when it will be used extensively over the south, and it can even
he done profitably for cotton growing as it has been proven by several
who have used it. ’ *
There has recently been one hundred acres laid out and surveyed for
the use of irrigation near Columbus, and many small plants who have used
it in different parts of this state are more than pleased with the results,
and we have every year a drouth some time during the year any one
who has had any experience at all with farming can realize and see the
importance and necessity of irrigation in some form, lt Is worth investi
gating and will pay any one to use it, and in time to come irrigation
will be worth in proportion to Geor
gia what it is worth to Florida and
Colorado.

QUESTION.
Shellman. Ga.
Have just been reading your ar
ticle in Atlanta Journal on alfal
fa. I certainly agree with you—
as I put out 5-8 of an acre in No
vember last on a poor piece of land
as there is in Georgia, being right
at my houses and having just set
tled at this place since April,
1912. I got a fine start by liming
and inoculating my seed. I cut in
May a crop that would measure
fifteen inches high and we have
quite a drought, and the cold
weather retarded its growth. We
had a good season about two weeks
ago and it is now about twelve
inches high, is spreading and looks
much better than it ever did. It
has passed the experimental stage
(as I only planted it as an experi
ment), and I will plant more large
ly of it this fall, as I have lands
that I am satisfied will grow it
equal to any of the lands out west.
My patch is creating quite a lot
of notice, and many others will
try it this fall. There was a gen
tleman from Rockmart here during
the reunion at Macon who came
out to see my patch, and he said
he was in yours and Mr. Gid Mor
ris* patches the week before and
said I had the best patch. So, you
are right about it growing here. If
you pass this way stop off and see
mine. C. M. C.
ANSWER.
Your letter received and it is
similar to hundreds of others that
I am getting. It shows how easily
we can succeed with alfalfa in this
state if we would only make an ef
fort and do the necessary things
essential for the successful grow
ing of this wonderful plant. The
time will come when alfalfa will
pull this state out of debt and show
the farmers the road to prosperity.
It is only a question of time, and
the beauty of it is those who have
succeeded let others know how
easily it can b e done. The farmers
of this state need so badly assist
ance on these lines and it is so hard
to get them to change out of the
ordinary line of cotton and corn un
til we will have to use every effort
possible to show others how easily
this can be done and what a won
derful supply of food we can have
so easily made if we will only make
an effort.
Your experience is similar to
many others and with an abundance
of feed in Georgia we could so eas
ily have live stock to not only fur
nish our own wants but to ship to
other countries. The boll weevil
will force the people sooner or
later to wake up and take up the
growing of alfalfa and live stock,
and those who are smart enough to
prepare themselves beforehand are
those who will be protected and will
not suffer. To think how easily it
can be done it has often been a
mystery to me why people are so
behind about taking hold of this
proposition and getting themselves
in an independent condition instead
of waiting until they are forced to
dd so.
QUESTION.
Atlanta, Ga-
I have a fine cow which I am ex
pecting to come in about August 15,
and will appreciate information from
you how and what to feed her from
now on and during that time, and
obl tee- H. G. S.
ANSWER.
It would be best to give the cow
a run of a gocsi grass pasture, with
a limited amount of wheat bran and
corn meal once a day. If you
haven’t good pasture, feed her alfal
fa hay, all she will eat up clean at
least once a day, and from four to
Six pounds of equal parts of wheat
bran and corn meal. In addition, see
that she gets plenty salt and plenty
water. This feed should be contin
ued until after the calf is at least
two weeks old, reducing the corn
meal to one-third and the bran two-
thirds during the week of calving,
gradually increasing the quantity,
especially if she is a large cow.
She should be fat and in fine fix
when she calves, especially if she Is
a heavy milker.
QUESTION.
Brooklyn, Ala.
I am anxious to raise Indian
Runner ducks, and wish you would
please answer through The Jour
nal a few questions regarding the
care of them and what I should
feed both old and young ones.
What would be the profit per year
on four ducks and a drake by set
ting the eggs and selling the young
ducks? At what age are they
ready for market, and can you
mention a good market for them?
Thanking you In advance, I am
X. Y.
ANSWER.
I am enclosing you a little book
let on ducks, telling how to feed
and care for them.
The amount of profit to be made
from raising ducks depends alto
gether on the market you have to
dispose of them. The people in the
south are not educated to paying a
fancy price for young ducks, and
do not realize their value like the
east. Usually ten weeks old ducks
that are flrstclass bring from^$3 to
$4 per pair on tne eastern markets,
but it is impossible to get such
prices in the south. Seventy-five
cents each would be a fancy price
for three to four-pound young
ducks, and it would be a hard mat
ter to find people who would pay
this price, although it costs about
this amount to raise them to this
age. Until you have built up a
fency trade for them I doubt if you
could make duck raising pay in the
south, as the market proposition,
the high price of feed and the low
price of the market will not war
rant it.
