RICE AND BRIDES
Like many of our other cus-
toms, the throwing of rice at
the bride after a wedding come
to us from the East, where
rice is the emblem of fruitful-
ness. In many parts of India
it is used with a formula of
pray.ers. On the Malabar
coast the priest solemnly sprin-
kles both the bride and bride-
groom with rice. Almost ev-
erywhere else this duty is car-
ried out by the bridegroom him
self, who pours three handfuls
of rice on the bride’s head, ex-
horting her to be fruitful and
bear him many children.
In Europe, where in olden
times wheat held the same
place as rice do^s in the East,
the ceremonies used to take
place. In many parts of Eng-
land it is wheat that is thrown
at a couple instead of rice. In
Esthonia rye is thrown, with
the quaint accompainment of
pouring a can of beer over the
.bridegroom’s head.—New Or-

COTTON MARKETING
IS NOT EFFICIENT
%
The following statement was
issued by Clarence Ousley of!
j Texas A. & M. College last
week. When the News estimat-
es that cotton passes through
only two hands from the farm
to the mill, and that the cost of
handling averages only 90c to
$1.20 a bale, it falls into an j
error- which is amazing in a
newspaper of such usual pre-1
cision. I am sure that even
the cotton merchant will laugh
at the statement that “the
present market machinery
lacks nothing of efficiency.”
A few weeks ago I met a
Dallas buyer at Stamford who
told me that he was purchas-
ing country damaged cotton
and stripping from 75 pounds
to 200 pounds a bale, and in
many cases getting only two
full bales out of three purchas-
ed. Country damage alone
runs from $2.50 to $6.00 a bale
on the whole crop. HoV is
this for the efficiency of the
“present marketing machinery’
Doesn’t the News know that
the Texas Farm Bureau Cot-
ton Association will warehouse
its cotton and save that waste ?
Markets in Oklahoma
I have before me a study of
primary market conditions in
Oklahoma by the Bureau of
Markets, United States De-
partment of Agriculture bulle-
tin No. 36, showing that in
twenty two typical primary
markets prices paid to farmers
on the same day in the same
market for the same grade and
staple varied from 75c, to $6.
a bale in five typical markets.
The variation on strict mid-
dling cotton was $2.50 to $7.50
on low middling $4.50 to $12.-
50, on strict low middling $2.-
50 ,to $10.00, on low grades
and tinges $5.00 to $19.25.
A study of cotton marketing
conditions in Arkansas made
by the Agricultural College in
cooperation with the Bureau
of Markets, circular 92 of the
Arkansas extension ^ service,
shows that in 1920 cotton sold
farmers without knowing
grade and staple was bought
at $10 to $50 a bale less than
value. I know personally that
good staple cotton was sold by
some Texas farmers at the
peak of high prices last year
at $90 a bale below value.
Doesn’t The News know that
the Texas Farm Bureau Cotton
Association intends to grade
and staple the cotton of its
members and sell it in even
running lots, precisely as ex-
porters and spinners wish to
buy it?

Ancient Pictures.
Mankind 1ms always loved pictures.
Races, without a written language,
have left behind them rude carvings
and murals to attest the fact. When
an industry arose that appealed to
this ancient'appetite with pictures that
moved, It did not have to wait long to
see whether It would die or flourish.
A dozen years ago the motion picture
business, as we now know it, did not
exist. Today the American public sup-
ports 16,.r)09 moving picture theaters,
makes 5.000.000,000 visits to them a

The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XLI.—WASHINGTON
THE story
1 of Wash-
ington,. the
for ty-second
state of the
Union, is tied
up with two
_ of our presi-
dents. The first is obvious, for
it was in honor of our first presi-
dent, George Washington, that
the state was named, as a last-
ing memorial to this great sol-
dier-statesman. But the actual
fate of this regfon was due to
President Polk, and formed the
main issue in his campaign for
election in 1844.
Previous to that time, the
country north of California and
extending to Alaska, which was
then owned by Russia, was called
the Oregon territory. Claim was
laid to this region by both Great
Britain and the United States as
has been seen in the story of
Oregon. In 1818, when the boun-
dary between Canada and the
United States was settled, this
line was definitely placed from
the Atlantic coast to the Rocky
mountains. But no agreement
could be reached west of that,
and it was left under an arrange-
ment whereby this territory was
to be jointly occupied by the
British and Americans.
Settlers from the United
States began to come into the
Northwest in such numbers that
the United States felt that they
should own this section, which
included the present states of
Oregon and Washington, and
British Columbia, through the
right of possession. Agitation
in favor of actively pushing our
claims became so strong that
when Polk was nominated by the
Democrats in 1844, one of the
main planks in the party plat-
form was the famous one popu-
larly called, “Fifty-four forty or
fight”
In 1846 a peaceful settlement
was made with England on a
compromise basis.
In 1853 Washington territory
was separated from Oregon; It
did net, however, become a state
until 1889, and then only after
thirteen years petitioning for ad-
mission.

The Story of
Our States
fe JONATHAN BRACE
XLII—IDAHO
THE year
i 1889 saw
^ 8tACt tn
our flag in- .
crease from
thirty-eight tb
forty-two, for
four states
were added to the Union la that
year. In 1890 two more states
were admitted, the first of which
was Idaho, so that during these
two year* the manufacturer
must have been kept busy turn-
ing out new flafs with the prop-
er number of stars.
Idaho Is very montalnous and
the name is derived from the
Shoshone Indian word meaning
“gem of mountains.”
The first white explorers were
undoubtedly Lewis and dark on
their memorable trip in 1804-5.
Idaho was a part of Oregon
territory, which waa jointly oc-
cupied by British and Americans
until the Treaty of 1846 definite-
ly turned over to the Unlt^l
States the country south at the
49th parallel. In 1863 Idaho
was organised as a territory,
with an area three times the sice
of the present state, as it in-
cluded Montana and part of
Wyoming. The next year Mon-
tana was set off for a territory
by itself, and ih 1868 Wyoming
was organized So that in 1890
when Idaho was admitted as
the forty-third state of the Un-
ion, its area was reduced to 83.-
888 square miles. Even so It
ranks as the eleventh state in
size.
The rapid settlement of Idaho
was due to the discovery of gold,
the same cause which so rapidly
built up the adjacent states. It
was in 1882 that gold was found
at Coeur d’Alene in the northern
part of the state, and miners Im-
mediately flocked to the state
in great numbers.
There was serious labor trou-
ble in the Goeur d'Alene sec-.
tion iu 1892 and again in 1899,
when martial law was estab-
lished until peace between the
miners and mine owners was
effected.
Idaho is fifth from the end in
the list of states according to
population, and accordingly has
but four, presidential electors.
But the state is* developing rap-
ldly.
