The crusade of the Chicago Board of Trade against the bucket shops of the country, and at this time against the bucket shops of Nebraska, has the support of the Omaha Grain exchange, which maintaine these places are detrimental to legitimate husiness. Many forms of bucket shops have been contrived and operated under the title of exchanges which In reality were without any features of real business, but were known as skin games. Suit Is now pending against the bucket shops of Nebraska, nearly all of which are operated in the southern part of the state, not one having been opened along the Omaha road to the north President Taft called upon the comm sioner of corporations for a report on the dealings in “futures” and the c.mmissioner In his report says: “Hedging {8 a very mmportant and com- mon future transaction in certain farm products. Cotton mills sell thelr cloth many months In advance. They must therefgre assure themselves of a supply of raw cotton. This necessitates hedging. For example, a cotton merchant agrees in February to furnish next October to a spinner 1,000 bales of cotton at 10 cents a pound. The merchant belleves he can buy this cotton of the producer next October at a price which will enable him to make a profit. But crop conditions may Inter- cotton. Therefore, when the merchant makes this agreement he hedges it also by buying on the cotton exchange future contracts dellverable next Ootober of 1,000 bales. “Agaln, hedging benefits votn farmer and spinner by reducing costs. That is, hedg- ing has to some degree relieved the mer- chant of a risk. It therefore enables and forces him to reduce his charges. While the spinner does not often hedge, he buys of merchants who do. The merchants hedge practically all thelr transactions. In short, I regard hedging as necessary and proper. It is not speculation. It is the avoldance of speculation.” Grain conditions of trade are similar to cotton and the obnoxious feature of both is the bucket shop nuisance. When the commissioner was questioning a witness as to the results of one of the proposed bills were made a law he replied: “That bill would destroy In sixty days the business fabric It has taken fifty years to bufld. It is not necessary to blow up a whole ship to remove a few barnacles.” The commissioner adds: “The desirable end, of course, it to eliminate the evil and retain the good. Whether this can be done and how I do not presume to say. I feel clear, however, that where an ex- change by its own regulations, by its own action or neglect abandons In whole or In part the beneficial functions which are the sole justification for Its existence it places itself in a very dublous position,” Omaha Man Passes Highest Exam in U, S.

Will Sea Island cotton save the West Indies? This question is belng asked daily throughout the long stretch of islands ex- tehding from the British Virgin group to British Guiana on the malnland of Scuth America. Backed by the influence of the Britleh government, all the resources of sclence and the wealth of the English spinners and dealers, the: blanters in the islands belleve they can answer the ques- tlon In the affirmative. Sea Island cotton was Introduced In the West Indies as an experiment in the first years of the present century, but did not begin to attract wide attemtion until 1904. Then shipments totalllng 35,02 pounds of high grade ocotton from St. Kitts and Nevis caused the American raisers to take notice. From that date the Increase In West India cotton has been the talk of the English manufacturers. In 196 the crop tor a few fislands wna 23,778 pounds, a phenomenal advance, and in 1906 the crop was 32,456 pounds, more than 260,000 pounds over what it was two years before. These . figures made such an Impression upon the minds of the American planters that they are sald to have reached a de- elsion not to let the West Indles have any more of their seed. There Is the crux of the situation, and the English planters are walting hopefully to learn whether they ean continue on their present prosperous way, or whether In the course of time their transplanted seed will become vitated and they will be at the end of their rope for lack of fresh stock. Scientific propogation of all obtainable varieties for producing seed has been under way In Barbados for several years, and the planters of St. Kitts and other places are now buying thelr seed there, paying 14 cents per pound. But, while the Barbados soed is giving excellent satlsfaction there is the lingering suspiolon that some day that also will weaken under the straln of inbreeding or over development. The Imperial Department of Agriculture is doing a splendid work. Its speclalty is botanical gardens where an incessant ef- fort 1s made to acclimatize the native pro- ducts of one section of the empire In an- other. Tt is constantly growing new things in strange places, and because of the world- wide extent of ita feeders in colonies In évery corner of the globe, it has excep- tional opportunities for experiments in transplanting. The botanical garden at Dominica, In richness and completeness, it sald to stand second only to the famous one in Ceylon. Cotton was eagerly seized upon by the department and s belng treated along practical lines. Not only do the govern- ment experts watch with minute care the crops they are growing in the official garden, but they go Into the plantations. When they see a particularly hardy plant with desirable individual characteristics, they mark it. From this time the plant is watched closely and, If at the time of picking, 1t seems better and more hardy than fellows, it is set apart and its seed planted over and over again to dls. cover whether it was merely a ‘“sport” or a useful, permanent variation. By such methods it s hoped to develop spe- clal varieties for every fisland, exactly suited to the conditions under which they first appeared. The spread of Sea island cotton was largely due to work of Mr, P. Wade of London, who began in 1904 with a plan- tation in Montserrat that .was; $30,000 in debt. Today it Is said toghe free of all ineumbrances and to e opaying hand. somely. Last year one plantation of sixty acres in St. Kitts cleaned: $5,000, largely because of cotton. BEstatessthat ten years ago could have been bought for a song are now rated lke corner lots in & boom town. The boom eventually will strike its normal level, but it the ¢cotton does not de- terlorate, the land will still remain encr- mously valuable. There are few plants so thoroughly de- pendent upon the location of the ground in relation to the ocean as Sea Island cot- ton, and the differences in quality and quantity In areas sharply bounded are as- tonishing. For instance, St. Vincent, in the windward group, four degrees south of St. Kitts, is sald to produce the finest cot- ton In the West Indles, a grade that sells from 12 to 18 cents more than the St. Kitts® product. In St. Kitts there Is an area about three miles square, Which produces as high as 860 pounds of lint per acre. This 1s an especlally favored spot on the south side of the island, profected from the northeast gales. A yleld of 250 pounds is obtained In other spots on this lsland where it will grow profitably at all. Nevis, ten miles from St Kitts, gets but a paltry 100 pounds per acre, while Montserrat, forty miles away, gets 20 pounds. Apparently only continued planting determines who 1s the drawer of a lucky location in the cotton land lottery. In St. Kitts the area of maximum production s defined almost as sharply as if by, a fence. The boll weevil has mot reached the islands where cotton is doing so well, but the planters are dolng a vast amount of spraying to head off such pests. They have a horrible example in Antigua, where, during the last two years, the cotton bud maggot injured the crop to badly that the enterprise was nearly abandoned. How- ever, the landlords took heart once more and now have 300 acres in cotton. This is reported to be doing well, because the weather was hot and dry in the last bud- ding season,”A condition the maggot can- not abide. To further the war on pes the imperial Department of Agriculture undertakes to buy and disinfect any new seed brought Into an Island, and to watch it afterward to see whether the disin. fectant was effective. Tobacco and sugar were formerly the great staples of the Caribbean, but tobacco growing dled a natural death and sugar was scarcely paying when cotton loomed on the horizon. With it came & provi- dential discovery. This was that cotton 18 planted in May and June and picked in November—the month for planting sugar cane. Hence, no time need be lost between seasons. The discovery agaln made oane & valuablo asset where cotton was raised. It was a case of killlng two birds with one stone, most of the preliminary work for the cane belng Incidental to the cotton cultivation. This double tiling Is con- tinued two years, then the ground ls planted In pigeon peas, which are later plowed under as nourishment for the soll The other fertilizers are of the chemical kind and are imported from the United States. & Ginning facllities have been provided In St. Kitts and other big producing islands, and $27 per ton s pald for seed. The cot- ton seed oll 1s shipped to Barbados for re- tining. The St. Kitts bale welghs 62 pounds, and the freight on it to Liverpool 1s about $4.37 per bale. A soclalistic departure made by the Im- perial Department of Agriculture should be a matter of Interest to students of economics and advocates of government ownership. Cotton was introduced in the Virgin islands by the government experi- ment station. It did well. At that time the sole industrles In the islands were fish- ing and ralsing a few cattle and sheep. The sclentists furnished seed to peasants living near and persuaded them to try It. Theso ploneers soon found that cotton patd them and the industry became general. However, the inhabitants of the Virgin islands were exceedingly poor, and all to- gother could not raiso funds for a gin. The department entercd the commercidl tield by bullding a gin and offering to buy cotton In small lots at the usual rates An outlet for their products having been found, the islanders of course raised more cotton. The ginnery Is run on strictly honest commercial lines and the profits €0 to the government. The experiment in the Virgin lslands has worked so well that the Income from the ginnery equals all other revenues of the government put to- gother. The government has fostered the enter- prise In other islands hy advancing money to the planters. The manner of collecting these loans was to levy an export tax of 1 cent per pound. But the government is now anxious to got out, feeling that the industry is well enough established to support Itself. One objection to the ex- port duty was that it was a flat rate, Being the same for Inferior cotton selling at 10 cents per pound as on that selling at 35 cents. To take the place of the government as & sort of wet nurse to-cotton growing, the British Cotton Growing assoclation has been Incorporated by royal charter. It Is lending money where assistance Is needed. Among other things, it undertakes to act as a commission and clearing house for the crop, provides cheap Insurance, fur- nishes cheap transportation from the Is- | lands to Liverpool or Southampton, has | agents who encourage the tenants, and publishes timely and valuable bulletins in addition to those issued by the govern- ment. - Among the association’s members in eouncil are mbout fifty of England's biggest men in the cotton business, in- cluding spinners, dyers, printers, weavers, representatives of labor organizations and members of the nobllity. The assoclation also has a West African branch. By FREDERIC J. RASKIN, Tomorrow—“Curing the Insane.” HOWARD STAYS IN THE PEN Inventor of Aircastle Instead of Aero- plane Will Not Be Paroled.

Those persons, egged on by a certain pink paper, that have been parading & plan to get W. W. Howard out of the penitentiary because, they said, he had in- vented an aeroplane by which he was to enrich prosperity, have sustained a terri- ble jolt. They have at last found out, as The Be tated some time ago, that a man Who has “done time™ in other penitentiaries is not eligible to parole under the Ne- braska laws, Furthermore, they have dls- covered that Howard's Invention is an alr- castle Instead of an alrship J. 3. Deright and Probation Officer Bern- steln have returned from Lincoln, where they saw Howard in the prison and had & talk with him, “It appears that besides doing time In Tllinois he was in the penitentiary at Jack- son, Mich.," said Mr. Bernstein. ‘By a colncidence, we met on the train golng down E. T. Swobe, whose house in Omaha Howard robbed, and we prevailed on him to accompany us. Howard's first remark to Mr. Swobe was a cool one: “‘We met under slightly ditferent olr- cumstances last time, Mr. Swobe,’ said he According to Mr. Bernsteln, Howard dis. appointed both Mr. Swobe and J. J. De- right by not adhering to the ‘truth in his conversation. Mr, Deright bears this out. “No, 1 don't want him paroled to me, even If he should be paroled,” sald the automoblle dealer. Judge Estelle alone Is not entirely shaken, “Howard might," opines he, “be & good citizen yet, even if he has beeh in the pen- | itentlary several times." But Howard will first have to serve out his term. Examination of his famous alrship shows that all this amounts to Is & set of plans for an aeroplane. which Is not so fright. tully difficult to construct simply on paper.
