. COTION IN CRISP
COUNTY AGENT LUCK OFFERS
STRIKING CONTRAST IN THE
i PRICES OF STAPLE
! By J. K. Luck, County Agent
l The U. S. Department of Agricul
iture has opened an office in this
!‘state this year to study the grades
| and staples of cotton produced by
!the.farmers of this state. They rey
{ leased their {irst report not long
'ago covering the first 744.054 bales
‘ot‘ cotton ginned in Georgia. 'l‘his‘
|cotton was sampled as it came fromy
| the gins by these agents. The re|
‘port shows that over 76 percent of
' this cotton sampled and graded 7-8
inch in staple, That 85 perecnt ot
this cotton graded from middiing
white to extra middling white. That ‘
only 18 percent of this cotten stapled
15-16 inch and that 6 percent stapled |
over one inch. The reports show:
that we are producing a cotton her9l
in this state 90 percent of which‘i
staples below one inch. \‘w
i The United States Department is
10111'1‘3;ing on similar tests in the state”
{of Texas and we have the [ullowingi
{ report from the first tests as Lo/
lg‘rude and staple there: Over 60 pers
cent of the cotton produced in Texas !
'staples over 1516 to one inch. Where |
we had 14 percent of our cotton tq‘
grade below middling, Texas had
practically none, You can see froni‘
these reports that Texas is simpl.\,(
preducing a cotton that is of a betq
ter grade and longer staple thdn we
are. You can see why our Georgia:
mills have to buy their better grade
of staple cotton out of Georgig
!from these reports. |
I Here in Georgia we have one cuun-}
ty that is taking the lead in the pro- |
‘ducti(m of a lenger stapie. '1‘1'\)1:1»;j
| county this year grew and sold co-|
| operatively 225 bales of cotton lh:n.,!
stapled better than one inch and
brought the growers a premium 014
2 1-2 cents per pound, or $12.25 n‘i
'hflle. This represents a $3,000 ])re-l
. mium to these growers apbove the |
lshm‘t staple market. This (:()t.l'm:
was sold to a mill in LaGrange, Ga., |
'locale(l in the same county where |
}lhe cotton wasg grown. {
. We grew 20 to 22 bales of u)t,mn;'
‘here in this county this year that ]
stapled better than one inch and was
gsold here on this market for a prc-,
mium of one to two cents per pound.
The yield made here per acre with
this cotton was just as good as yields
made with short staple cotton, We l
could have gotten a larger premium
for this cetten than we did if we l
could have had morg to sell ‘
See me about the variety cotton
used here this year, Now- is the
time to secure these seeds.

WORKERS SO CLOSELY BUNCI'ED
IN VOTE AVERAGE THAT SUB
SCRIPTION HELP NOW IS IM
PCRTANT.
People who have promiserd to help
some candidate in the Dispaich Cam
paign with a subscription, have three
days left in which to make gcod on
that promise, that is, if they want to
give the candtdate the most votes pos
sible for that subscrintion. The balance
of this week means much to every
worker in the campaign who is iy
in eranest to win one of the three
cars to be given away on Dceembeér
24th. The candidates are bendiny every
effort to turn in every possihie sub
scription before 9:00 p. m. %his ccru
ing Saturday, and the reading public
will no doubt cooperate with such
laudable enterprise. '
To the majority of subscribers, it 1s
just as easy to pay their subscription
now, as any time later, and when one
stops to consider that votes win the
pig prizes and those same votes are
higher now, there is every inducement
to %elp before the tirst period closes.
The vote standing will be nublished
again tomorrow, however neariy every
candidate is more interested in what
their position will be on next Monday
than they are right now. There is no
question but that the reports turned
in upto Saturday night wiil cause
some changes in, the list of candiddate “
as far as vote position is concerned
for at the present time mighty few
subscriptions separate the leaders from
the ones in the last place. YOUR sub
scription might be the deciding one
for YOUR favorite candidate.
