I ask not Morgan's gold—

To hit the ball like Cobb.

And yet I envy him
No minor mlstrel note
No stirring lyric hymn;

To soak the pill like Cobb.
Old Caesar was some guy,

RECLAMATION A
NEED OF SOUTH

Lncle Sa I
Chicago, 111., JWe 26.—"What the
nation most needsHs the Intervention
of Uncle Sam to remove to some ex
tent rome of the exceedingly abundant
blessings that a wise Providence has
'showered' upon His chosen spot of
the earth- the South."
Guy L. Stewart, agricultural and in
dustiial commissioner of the St. Louis
Southwestern Railway, formerly as
sistant to James Wilson, Secretary of
Agriculture, thus expresses his attl
tude toward the efforts of the National
Irrigation Congress to be of further
aid this year in the reclamation prob
luma of the south. The National Irri
gatlon Congress meets in Chicago,
Qfecember 5 to 9, and at this gathering
$:t is not likely that some definite ac
don concerning swamp and overflowed
ar d reclamation by the government
rill be taken by the delegates. Con
tuning, Mr. Stewart says:

large the agricultural possibilties of
A
long neglected South. Rice grow
ing Is an irrigation industry, but with
the South as a whole development Is
not, of course, a matter of Irrigation,
as Dixie has been granted the blessing
of plenty of rainfall.
"The South does need the help of
Uncle Sam just as the West needed
It. We want the government to take
our water away instead of putting it
on the soil. This is a simpler under
taking and a million dollars spent by
the government could accomplish the
leclaamtion of an area of swamp lands
sufficient for the establishment of
thousands of homes and for the pro
dtictlon of crops worth each year sev
eral times the amount Invested.
"If the National Irrigation Congress
can accomplish this, and X know the

that the chance of cooperation with

In Regard To Potato
Situation—Bring $1.60 a Bushel
In Houston, Texas.
Houston, Tex., June 26.—Produce
dealers are beginning to feel some ap
prehension in regard to the potato sit
nation, since a potato iamine in this
market appears to be a certainty. The
price has been steadily advancing, ris
ing from 60 and 70 cents at the begin
ning of the season to $1.00 and then
$1.25 per bushel, with another jump
this week to $1.50 and $1.60 per bushel
paid to the growers f. o. b. loading
poiat. Buyers from Northern markets
have invaded the producing sections
and are buying up eeviything they can
lay their hands on at these prices and
shipping them North, and local buy
ers are having to hustle to get enough
t* supply the demands of this market,
Predictions are being freely made that
this market will see potatoes at $2.00
P° r bushel and that very soon. There
,s always a strong demand for pota
toes and they must be had at any
price.
California potatoes are coming in
Before the Western crop began

to move California buyers were in the
territory buying at much lower figures
than are now prevailing.
furnia growers are holding their prices
