The Farmers' I ion has been offered all tho moi necessary if we will only put < cotton in bonded warehouses. fl Union has a number of warehous and the Standard Warehouse co pany is also in position to store c ton and issue receipts.

I will answer yes, \t is ways good judgment to warchoi any product when it sells below p duction, and conditions will certaii warrant it now. As to the condition of the prcsc eotton crop, the weather over a lai portion of the belt is bad, and so t prospects. Heavy rains are report over Texas, Oklahoma and Flori< . aiul reports of deterioration from t ifj cotton belt still come in from eve State, and the world realizes n< I ?iiat the crop is short.

It is getting near the season 1 MR.jack rabbit hunting in Midland coi H^By, savs a Midland correspondent aMhi! St. Louis (rlobe-Demeroat. In ' !w ,n()r(l w<>('ks one of the big aniu Ranints will take place on some ran l^Hfvhere the rabbits ?.re particulai ^RlcntiThe hunt will last all d Hyluid end with a barbecue. There w Br^be plenty of fresh meat for the do; j-the coyotes and the buzzards wh L the hunters get through. Tendcr-'heaiied visitors from t B. east might be inclined to think thai W hunt in which fill the way from ;1 W.to 1,000 jack nbbils are killed H cruel. They arc not familiar wi jack rabbits. The jack rabbit is a poeuliar pi I duel of the plain, lie docs not li I where fields arc rlosely cultivati H nV- dues he linger around long nPl ? th;l ii?cv-w|ni|e is grubbed, and the ri m sod turned over with a breaking phi A wryl and care-free life for the ja P r *bI?ir.-y who also likes a little sp H th;).| comes frmn invading a ram ja 'man's garden and orchard. The ja K rabbit eats mily things that are H more v?lne when fed to somethi II el-e. Therefore. th<* jack rabbit is II post. And as a pest the ranchmen a ^>"'ers join hands in getting rid || jack rabbit lias a sentimental ^'n cct. The prairie dog talks in short, slm licr barks, which are really not barks ; to all, bnt ealls almost identical wi at the blnejay. The prairie dog is al low an eloquent conversationalist with li of tail, which, though short, is kopt wa tho ging all the time. Old plainsmen si its tluit 0110 prairie dog can talk to a tho other wigwag fashion without uttc If ing a sound. ice Some evening the ranch telephon to in all the surrounding county noi ?rf where a hunt is scheduled will ring Jn- general alarm, and the ranchmen wl ioy -answer will hear a message for al )ur "Going to be a rabbit hunt at tl ^ho J ranch tomorrow." That is all tl ;eS) notice that is needed. On the san ,m- evening the word will have pass< ot_ around in town and as many as hai ter horses to ride will make plans to jo: 1U| tihe sport. ,ti- Soon after dawn the nexit day lve procession of riders wall start for tl on ranch where the hunt is schedule If Preceding them will be a wagon < is two loaded with rolls of chicken yaa ut fencing, which plays an importai ny part in the hunt. The men with tl re_ fencing will drive .straight to tl sjx point where the hunt is scheduled I end. Usually this will be the mout ,sc of a small canyon or draw. TTere wi bo built a corral of chicken wire, an lse then stretching out from eithor sic ro_ of the corral's mouth will be ru long linos of fence wire held in pla< by stakes. Somotimcs these tw mt w'n?s or wire will make a V-shapc ,ge mouth a quarter of a mile across. Tl ire ]K>int of the V is the mouth of tl C(j corral and into it eventually all tl jack rabbits will be driven for mih j10 around. >ry After all the preparations ha\ ow been made in the way of fencing tl iot hunt proper will begin miles back c >p. the V-shapped wings. The hunters o ar, horseback will scatter until they ai . I a straight line across (he prairie co1 re- ering several miles. There are womc on as well as men among tho riders, : nd rifling is easy and liable to nor ids ?f the dangers attending the follov Ur ing of hounds after coyotes. The hui has a captain, and at his signal, usi m_ oily the firing of a revolver, the lir 10 of riders begins to move steadily foi 12 ward. The outside riders move 20 little faster and soon the lino fcaki ;rs the form of a semicircle, es. Steadily the riders move across tli en plain and steadily t'lie riders draw i 0 near each other as the corral wing ws are approached. Before the advam ve ing line the frightened rabbits ai lis already skipping alone and occasioi ;et ally an expert with a revolver takes nd pot shot at one from the saddle. ou As the wings are approached Mi iat- riders increase their speed and tli ps? rabbits run blindly. Before the he know it they 'have run against one c iat (lie wire wings. There is nothing t vc do but. follorw the fence, and in a fe an minutes they have run through tl: dy mouth of the corral. sr- A rabbit would never think, if ral ig- bits do think, of turning around an >ps trying to break through the line c ist horsemen, lie keep on going unt se, surounded by the fence, when thei >v- is no escape. When the round-u an ends 'the corral is filled with rabbit nd The number may range from a fe So hundred up to a thousand. The ral bits are killed with clubs or by dog and the hunt is over. Then comes quite as much of ll; day's sport as the aunt itself?t!i barbecue given by the ranchma ?g whose pastures have been rid of 11 pest. All day the beeves have bee ]1C hanging over the pits near the rano house. Coffee has been steaming i boiler kettles and there is an ahum ?()), a nee of bread ami pickles. The hui m_ jrry hunters hurry to the scene of tli ()l> least and, as it is usually 3 o'eloc or after before the hunt, i*; over, the I are ready for the meal.

Ttho S?? Jose (San Ilozay) scale a is the most pernicious insect post of 10 fruit and shade trees in South Caro1: luia. In some sections the owners of io trees are cutting them down owing to io the presence of this insect. The Diio vision of Entomology of the South Molina Experiment Station has refo pea ted ly emphasized the fact in the in pi ess that there is no necessity for cutting down or other wise destroya ing a tree merely because it is infested with San Jose scale unless the <1- tree is so far gone that it. has not enough vitality left to recover after *? the scale is killed. Although one of 1 the worst insects of America, it has ,c been demonstrated over and over In n tl,c Pcst oau ^,0 successfully and economically controlled. Fruit growers all over the United States who are troubled with this post are controlling it by tho sprays devised for that purpose. All citizens ot South Carolina who have trees dy30 ing or who know that (heir trees are infested with scale, or who have ' trees in an unthrifty condition are invited to write to the Division of Entomology, South Carolina Experiincut Station, Clcmson College, S.
