Cotton Production Costs Can Be Cut

Makinn And Saving
Atlanta. Georgia.— (Special.)—"High
prices for cotton, such as we had a
year ago cannot reasonably lie expect
ed for a long time to come. European
countries that nominally use hull' our
crop are so thoroughly disorganized
unci paralyzed in a business way that
they will not he able to take the
usual quantities and pay high prices
for many years to come,” said H. O.
Hustings, President of th6 great
Southeastern Fair.
“This situation which we cannot
control, calls for lower costs of mak
ing cotton as well as reduction in cot
ton acreage. The quickest, safest
and most effective way to reduce cot
ton making cost is to produce on one’s
own acres every pound of food, grain
and forage needed for family, tenants
and laborers and live stock.
“The situation requires chickens,
hogs, milk cows and acres of corn,
oats, wheat, forage and miscellane
ous crops from which to feed them.
Last, but not least, in importance, is
the home vegetable garden which is
the quickest and cheapest source
food in the world.
“Most folks here in the South don’t

Twenty Years in Forestry.
The Yale forest school has just
celebrated its second decennial re
union and the twentieth anniversary
of Its founding, says the American
Forestry Magazine. Over one hun
dred alumni and students, or approx
imately 20 per cent of those who have
received professional Instruction at the
school attended the reunion. Of the
twelve leading forest schools ten are
under the direction of Yale men, and
eleven have Yale graduates In their
faculties.- In addition, forestry Is
taught as a subject at four other in
stitutions by Yale graduates. In all,
43 men from ibis Institution are en

It is a frame of light construction

When this adjustment 1ms been

Opossum a Pest in Australia.
New Zealand has a native species
of opossum which wears a very peuu-
tifill fur. It is not at all like the
opossum that we know in this country.
Many years ago it was introduced
into Australia, and, finding there none
of the natural enemies that preyed up-
-on it in its'own land, it has since in
creased in numbers until it has be
come a serious pest. It is a robber
of fruit trees.
However, the value of the animal
for its fur Is so great as to outweigh
the damage it does in the fruit-growing
sections, and in view of this fact, the
Australians are encouraging the in
crease of opossums in forest districts.
Their skins are becoming a consider
able item of export, and already many
of them are made up into fashionable

First American Train Robbery.
Train rubbery, a pastime which was
for some years very popular in the i
West, was inaugurated 4S years ago
at Verido, Nevada, when the Overland
express was field up and despoiled of
about $50,000. This robbery marked;
a now departure in the field of crime. ‘
for previously only stage coaches and
travelers had fallen prey to holdup
men. When western outlaws are dis- j
cussed, the name of Jesse James is
usually the first brought up, hut he
was not the pioneer train robber.
That dubious distinction belongs to
one Buck Taylor, who, with four com
panions, pulled off the train holdup
which was the first of a long string of
similar crimes.
