' (By the Associated Picas.) ’ Raleigh, Oet. 7.—“ Great care should . be exercised in selecting cotton seed for next year’s planting and under no cir cumstances should seed from cotton that is picked immediately after this bad weather be -saved,” says Mr. Etheridge, , specialist in marketing farm crops for . the Sate division of markets. “To save , these seed would be nothing less than 7 suicidal because only a small percentage will germinate. It will be a good idea to dispose of them at an early date, sell , ing to some commercial firm or for the use of feeding purposes.” Mr. Etheridge stated that to insure a ? good stand of cotton for hext yeai*, growers mnst be sure to save for plant ing the seed from cotton that was picked , before the continuous rains which has I just been experienced in North Caro lina. “With the cotton crop late this year,* he aays, “we may yet be able to get 5 good Beed_for planting from the cotton which hasen’t yet opened; but under no conditions should we save any seed for planting next year’s crop that was ready to be plpked during the past rainy spell.” Oil is extracted from the bodies of locusts in Germany.

( MUCH DAMAGE DONE TO ! COTTON AND COTTON SEED By the Long Spell of Rainy Weather. Declares Dr. Kilgore. ; Raleigh, Oct. 7.—Much damage has | been done to the cotton and cotton seed in North Carolina by the long spell of ( rainy weather, it was declared today by l Director B. W. Kilgore, of the North Carolina experiment station and dean of ( agriculture at State College. The sit- uation now facing North Carolina farm- ( erg and marketers of farm products, he f said, is one of the most serious with which they have hade to cope. Cotton picked since the rains where it has not dried out thoroughly should ’ be spread out so as to dry completely before ginnings, it was emphasized, oth erwise the lint is likely to be badly cut and the value correspondingly reduced. ' “Where seed are damaged, they should be kept separate from from cotton gathered before the rains, or from good seed which may come from cotton which opens later, the director explained. “If damaged seeds are mixed with good ones they will reduce the price of the whole lot and the meal . will be of poor quality, and may not be good enough for feeding meal. Meal , from damaged seed is asgood for ferti lizer as meal from gooj seeds, but eare should be taken not to have the price of a large lot so seed reduced by the mix ture of poor seed with them. “The matter of planting seed for hext , year is going to be a rather serious ques- 1 tion, and it is suggested that all really ] good seed from early pickings be saved ( for this purpose, and that good seed ob- 1 tained from later pickings also be saved j for seed purposes, using the best that i comes from these later pickings. “Much loss in the value of lint and , seed for meal purposes and for planting i next year’s crop may be avoided by giv- j ing careful thought to these matters at ( this time.” Bags 52 Bats in Niglit.

Dr. Emerson Fosdick, a Baptist preacher in a Presbyterian Church whose pulpit for two years has been the center of an in ternational controversy between funda mentalists and modernists, today handled his resignation to the New York Presby tery. It was llev. Dr. Fosdick’s answer to the judgment of the Presbyterian general assembly that lie should forswear his Baptist membership and become a Pres byterian by subscribing to the confession of faith, or give up his associate pastor-j ship of the First Presbyterian Church, of j New York. The issue had been clearly drawn, both in the dictum of the general assem bly and a subsequent communication formally tendered the minister by the Presbytery of New York. It was con sidered reasonably certain the resigns-1 tion would be accepted. That it had been tendered was made known in statements issued today by Dr. Edgar Whitaker Work, chairman of the special committee of tl*e local Presbytery designated to deal with the Fosdick case. There was set fortli the text of the de cision of the judicial commission of the general assembly at Grand Raipids, Mich,, last May 28: a formal notification I>r. Work sent Rev. Dr. Fosdick last' September Ist; and the pastor's reply, dated today. In declining to become a Presbyterian. Rev. Dr. Fosdick wrote that he was not moved by denominational reasons, for he had no sectarian loyulties. He was convinced, however, tljat he wouM be guilty bf “moral surrentfef” if he subr. scribed to the confession of faith “after two years of vehement personal attack from a powerful section of the Presby terian Church.” "In answer to this proposal,” lie wrote, ”1 must in all honesty set my long standing and assured conviction , that creedal subscriptions to ancient confes sions of faith is a practice dangerous to the welfare of the church and the integ rity of the individual conscience.” CHARGED WITH BLAME FOR DEATH OF BOY Mrs. Elizabeth Briggs to Be Given ,» Hearing Friday at Lexington.

The promise of a big ger crowd than yesterday was evident when the field opened at 10 o’clock. Un reserved bleacher seats were completely fielld before noon and the upper stands were rapidly absorbing their human car go. Speculation was rampant as to who Manager Harris would send to the mound today in an endeavor to even up the se ries with the Giants, and make another game in Washington a surety. Harris : intimated that George Mogridge would be - the Washington selection, but it is known ) that he has a sore arm and may not be. used. It is almost certain that John Mc- Graw will start Virgil Barnes today as , mos tof his array of relief talent was used yesterday. . | The series now stands two games to one for the Giants. Two more victories are necessary for the Grants to win the series, while the Senators must win three more. If the Giants win the next two games here the series will be over with out a second switch to Washington. Before Manager Harris left Washing ton he promised the fans of the capital city they would have another opportunity to witness the season’s annual classic in Washington, but in order to bring this about Washington must win another game in New York. If the Giants win today it is a safe . bet that Waiter Johnson will pitch to , morrow. although Manager Harris would ■ like to save him for a game in Washing ton rs possible. ‘ r-fV Excellent Weather for Game.

SUIT AGAINST SOUTHERN Holders of Preferred Stock Want Div idends That Have Been Passed. (By the Associated Press> Richmond, Oct. 7. —A suit to enforce payment by the Southern Railway Go. ; of $22,900,000 in dividends 'to prefer red stockholders was on file in Law & , Equity court here today. The action was brought by the Norwich Water | Power Company, trustees of the estate of C. D. Langhorne, and other unnamed stockholders who declared that prefer i red stockholders are entitled to pay , ment of dividends heretofore earned , but not declared in their favor of about ' S3B a share before holders of the com , pany’s common stock are entitled to . receive any dividends. The basis of contention is that for a , number of years pattt the railroad has 1 earned part or all of the 5 per cent. . preferred dividends, but has not paid , the dividend, preferring rather to re . tain and carry such net profits into the surplus net income account. Plaintiffs ! claim that now that the company has - initiated dividends on its common stock i it has demonstrated that there is no longer any necessity of applying its net . profit to surplus funds, and they ask - the court to compel payment to them of the profits heretofore earned on the preferred stock.
