THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA. FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1913. 7 MARKET REPORTS Atlanta Markets Atlanta Live Stock (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, July 10.—Private reports that numerous showers or local rains had occurred in Central Texas and Oklahoma, served to par tially relieve recent new crop apprehensions, and the cotton market was a shade easier dur ing today’s early trading. First prices were three points higher on July and August, but generally two points lower and the active months sold about 3 to 5 points net lower shortly after the call. Private cables attributed Liver, pool’s steady showing to short covering for over the holidays, as the market will be closed there from today until Monday morning. The market firmed up during the middle of the morning on the failure of the official fore cast to suggest any immediate change in weather conditions and apprehensions that con tinued drouth would cause crop deterioration before the August bureau report. Prices at mid day were 3 to 5 points net higher. Trading continued quiet during the early afternoon. Reports of high temperatures again today in the southwest and encouraging Balkan reports inspired some scattering demand but realizing by recent buyers held advances in check and caused slight reactions around 2 o’cuock when prices were within a point or two of yesterday’s closing.

NEW ORLEANS. July 10.— -Cotton futures opened steady, unchanged to 3 polhts down compared with the last quotations of yesterday. Cables were not as good as due and dispatches concerning the Balkan situation were regarded as highly unfavorable. Good rains were re ported In Arkansas, where they were badly needed, and they stimulated selling of the new orop months. The old crops were neglected. The forecast of showery weather for the larger part of the belt was called bearish and was against the market. At the end of the first half hour of business most of the trading months were 6 points under yesterday’s close. The market reacted around the middle of the morning on reports that spot interests were buying futures, but no pronounced buying de veloped as considerable bearish comment was caused by the receipt of the first balf> of the new crop in Texas and by reports that more bales of new cotton would soon be coming into sight. Bulls pointed out that the first bale was eight days -later than last year’s first hale. At the highest of the morning the trad ing months were 3 to 4 points over yesteday’s final figures. At noon the market wa§ quiet at a net advance of 1 point. NEW ORLEANS COTTON The following wer* tb' ruling prices on tb« vfhangp today Tone steady; middling 12%c f * steady. fjist Pr*v.

This compares with July 1 last year. * Weather developments over night were as predicted and favorable. Cooler with showers In Oklahoma, Arkansas and Tennessee. Cloudy over entire belt except southern half of Texas, where it is fair. Indications are for generally cloudy weather with more extended showers in Oklahoma and the central belt; generally fair and warm in central and south Texas. Several points in the central states reported rain this morning. The market declined at the start but was soon brought up by the strength of July New York and also on some support In October, which position New York says will likely be af fected by the very small stock there. It looks as If the Intention is to advance the market. The into sight for the weekk looks around 24,000 bales, against 25,203 last year. We compare with mill takings of 195,000 bales for this week last year. ' COMPARATIVE PORT RECEIPTS m Last Year. Today.

C., July 10.—That the government will resume federal assist ance to the South Carolina national guard is practically assured because of a telegram addressed to Secretary of War Garrison this morning by Governor Blease, in which he complies with the specifications of conduct set forth in a letter from the secretary received to day. Secretary Garrison notified South Carolina’s chief executive that he must resume proper relations with the war department before federal assistance to South Carolina organized .militia would be resumed, saying that he ex pected Governor Blease to give co-op eration and assistance in requiring the militia to comply with the provisions of the law. Complying with the mandate of the secretary, Governor Blease addressed the following telegram to Mr. Garrison this mornnig: “All South Carolinians endeavor to do their duty. If those boys are al lowed a chance they will do theirs, and I shall do all I can to encourage and assist them, and you can count upon my co-operation and assistance in bringing about a compliance on the part of the national guard of this state with the provisions of the militia law as enacted by congress, under condition* of my former letter and reply thereto. “Wire orders for encampments, be ginning July 17.” SCHOOL GIRLS WELCOME MR. WILSON TO LINKS Secret Service Man and a Chauffeur Act as President’s Caddies 1 (By Associated Press.) HANOVER, N. H.. July 8.—President Wilson tried new golf links today, this time the nine-hole course at Dartmouth college. He left Cornish early and, mo toring thirty miles over green hills and valleys, arrived here before noon. The college town was filled wi.th summer school students and some of the young women tripped enthusiastically across the links to greet the president. From the roadway groups of town folks watched the play. The president played a fair game, but found the links much more difficult than the Woodstock course, where he was yesterday. Dr. C. A. Grayson was again his # opponent. There were no caddies about when they arrived and a secret service man and one of the , chauffeurs volunteered for the task. Turkey Raising F ROM present indications there will be a large number of turkeys raised in Georgia this year. This has been one of the best seasons suited to turkey grow ing we have had in many years, and the people who have paid at tention to their turkeys and are fortunate enough to have a lot will certainly come out on top this sea son. The spring months have been dry and it has caused the young turkeys to get a good start and practically out of danger. I have seen recently several large flocks of turkeys that certainly look prom ising and from all accounts the present outlook is very encouraging for the turkey growers this year. This is something that could so easily he raised by thousands of farmers and something that cost but little to grow, especially where large meadows and pastures are available for the young turkeys to get grasshoppers which is the life of a turkey. Diseases of different kinds that seem to be fatal to tur keys have played havoc -in many sections of the United States with this industry. It seems that only through the southern states are the parts that have escaped the dreaded disease known as black head among turkeys. It has killed thousands in a great many of the eastern states and has made it al most impossible to grow them in large numbers throughout the east. Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Vir ginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida up to the present time have escaped these diseases and the crop of turkeys through Texas and Tennessee espe cially for the past few years has brought millions of dollars out of the east into these sections, solid trainloads of turkeys having been shipped through the winter months to eastern states and most of this money was practically picked up from waste off of the average farm that would have never been converted into cash had it not been for the turkeys. It is sur prising why more people do not pay attention to this wonderful crop every season and have several hundred dollars’ worth of turkeys to market in the fall of every year. _/ If we had more grasses and more meadows over the south than we have at present we would see more turkeys as meadows produce a great many grasshoppers and make an ideal place for the breeding of them, and as they contain so much animal food the main thing that turkeys seem to thrive on best this waste could be covernted into thousands of dollars if more attention was paid to this industry. Recently I remember reading an article and seeing the pictures of a California turkey ranch where a lady raised them by the thousands and they had the range of an irrigated alfalfa field. It must be an interesting sight to see these turkeys in droves of thousands catching the grasshop pers just ahead of the water when it is turned on for irrigation purposes. As the water flows among the alfalfa roots it drives the grasshoppers by the thousands ahead of it and the turkeys in great droves follow the water and catch these insects which are converted into the most valuable food that can possibly he raised. It is to he hoped that with the large amount of turkeys that are now being grown in Georgia and other southern states that a large per cent of them will be kept for breeding purposes and this country stocked with turkeys as it should he. Several turkey raisers to my knowledge have been so successful this year that their losses have been practically nothing ex cept through accident, and have now practically raised every turkey they have hatched this season. It seems that the best way to raise turkeys is to let them go according to nature. They require a little special attention for the first few weeks of their lives and afterwards by following nature’s care they seem to thrive better than by any other method that has been practiced in raising them, especially in large numbers. The old urkey he i seems to know best just what to do with her young, and up to the present time very few people have been successful raising turkeys by artificial means like they do ducks and chickens. They having a different disposition do not seem to thrive as well when artificial piethods are applied nothing like the equal of ducks or chickens. With food products of all kinds, especially meats being so scarce and selling at such high prices and will continue to do so for years to come there are but few things that the farmers and their wives could pay attention to that would pay them much better than a flock of turkeys.

Box G, Smyrna, Georgia Mr. Loring Brown, Smyrna, Ga. Dear Sir: Ifind your department in The Journal about the most interesting part of the paper. While my business takes up most of my time, still I am a farmer at heart and have my good-sized gar den in which I carry on my experi ments and derive much satisfac tion. I am in hearty sympathy with you in your efforts to attract the attention of the people of our state to the possibilities in meat-produc- s ing stock and dairying. I have even started a small piece of ground towards ultimately putting it in alfalfa. I feel that I can at least preach what I feel, and can speak with more conviction from my own experience, though it may be in a small way, than if I did not follow your teachings by prac tical experience. However, there is one thing that the producer of beef must get around before a satisfactory price can be had for beef on the foot. I saw a neighbor who had a young cow in fine condition try for three weeks to sell her to local butchers and finally had to accept three cents per pound, live weight, for her. If not mistaken, this is the price which has prevailed for years. Why, I cannot buy the green, ground bones from the butcher for less than three cents per pound; some of the steak I bought at 25 cents per pound may have come from this same cow. I am glad to get your letter, and you struck the keynote. You are right about our markets in the south for beef; however, if we had enough of this product there would be competition in the shape of nu merous packing houses, and they would offer prices sufficient to make it profitable. However, I know of a number of cases who have had similar experience to your friends. The butchers will not pay the price for good cattle that they are worth in comparison to what we have to pay for them when we buy until they are forced to do so. If enough of them are offered and a market made for them we can then get for our animals here what they are worth. However, if we had plenty buy ers would come, and things would change, but never until then can we get the actual worth of the few scattered animals, regardless of how good they are unless they are carried direct to the packing houses, who are usually willing to pay a fair price for them. Will be glad to hear from you again. Mr. Loring Brown. Poultry Editor, Atlanta, Ga.: Dear Sir—Would like to ask what could be the matter with chickens when they just drop off the roost at night dead. They all seem to be in perfect health and laying every day, but every once in a while I find one dead when I go to the hen house in the mornings. I keep my hen house perfectly clean all the time, use lirrfe and disinfectants, feed scratch food and mash, and always have charcoal and oyster shells in front of them. 1 also get soft shell eggs now and then. What could cause this? Any information regarding the two above questions will be appre ciated. In reply, your chickens are too fat and have been fed too much ‘green food, and have not had suf- cient exercise. The soft shell eggs indicate this, as they are usually laid by over-fed hens, and the chickens have evidently died from apoplexy. Feed more oats, less rich grain food and make the chickens take more exercise, and the trouble will be corrected. Saving and Investing THE BOY SCOUT’S CREED. BY JOHN M. 0SK1S0M In the manual used by the Boy Scouts of America occurs this paragraph: “A scout is thrifty. He does not wantonly destroy property. He works faithfully, wastes nothing, and makes the best use of his opportunities He saves his money, so that he may pay his own way, be generous to those in need, and helpful to worthy objects.” When I read that paragraph it brought to mind a picture of the origi nal from which the boy scouts got their name. It might have come from ob servation of the very lives of the old frontiersmen, except you’d have had to cut out the first four words In writ ing about the old fellows. They were not thrifty. Here is a book written by one of the old scouts—a cheaply printed, abomi- nally illustrated book. It was issued in 1900, and was written shortly before. It Is the autobiography of Captain Wil liam F. Drannan, who was born in 1832, who left his home in Tennessee at the age of fifteen to join Kit Carson, and who spent thirty-one years on the plains and in the mountains of the west. “Chief of Scouts” the captain called himself, and his narrative shows how truly he won the title. I read this book with absorbed In terest—a simple, wonderful record of an adventurous life—until the very end. And there I found this: “By this time I had spent and lost in speculation about all the money that I had realized for my property, and the outside property I owned I could not sell at any price. Since that I time I have wandered around from pil- ! lar to post, catching a little job here and there, and at this writing am tem porarily located at Moscow, Idaho.” There he was, at sixty-seven, very near the end of the trail, swallowing the pride which forbade his seeking “notoriety,” as he phrased it, laboring to put his story before the world in the hope of getting a little money. No, the old scouts were not thrifty. Oscar Underwood, Jr., Takes Examinations For Lawyer’s L.icense PATENTS n ■ VFUVA W»f.wnE.CoI«m»ii,W«*- MT%| ingUm, DO. Bookcfree.
