“SHORT STAPLE COTTON.”
For the past several weeks I
have been trying to get all the in
formation could on the question
of cotton and length of its staple,
also grade, as well as yield.
I have some good information
about many varieties of cotton as
to yield of lint, length of lint,
value of seed as per oil content
and total value of yield of the dif
ferent varieties when both lint
and seed are considered.; classifi
cation of cotton, also stapling
same.
All the above information will
be gladly furnished anyone inter
ested.
Personally I think we should
stop growing any short staple
varieties of cotton and strive to
improve the length of our cotton
staple instead of decreasing the
length by growing any short sta
ple varieties.
At present or the past few years
we have had so much shor staple
cotton grown and it has gotten
mixed so badly that all our cotton
is being reduced in price.
Any one growing a variety of
coton that has a staple of less
than seven-eights of an inch in
length will be making a big risk.
There will not be any future mar
ket for any cotton with a staple
of less than seven-eighths of an
inch.
1 think some few farmers have
the idea that it is only our local
buyers or cotton merchants in re
gal'd to the vital question of grow
ing “short staple” varieties.
Please read the following letter
also article received by me from
chief Bureau of markets, also U.
S. Department of Agriculture:
Mr. W. Hill llosch,
County Agricultural Agt.
Winder, Oa.
Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter of April
sth, cotton 7 /g of an inch in length
of staple is the shortest cotton
that can be delivered on afuture
contract in accordance with the
provisions of the United States
cotton futures Act. It is impos
sible to state what penalty, under
the market quotations should be
made on cotton that is only % of
an inch in length.
Very truly yours,
C. F. CRESWELL,
Investigator In Markets.
WARNING TO PRODUCERS
AGAINST PLANTING SEED
OF INFERIOR VARIETIES
OF COTTON.
The Department of Agriculture,
on Apr. 9, 1914, and again Mar.
2, 1915, issued warings to farmers
of the Southwest against plant
ing varieties of cotton that usual
ly produce a staple of less than
of the Southwest against plant
seven-eighths inch in length, es
pecially such varieties as are said
to produce half seed and half lint.
In view of the approaching plant
ing season, the Department wishes
to reiterate these warnings for the
benefit of the entire cotton belt.
The producers of cotton for their
own welfare, should heed this ad
vice, and should exercise judi
cious care in the selecting of plant
ing seed.
The following reasons are giv
en for warning cotton growers
against planting any variety that
usually produces a staple of less
than seven- eighths inch in length.
1. Cotton of less than seven
eighths inch staple is of approxi
mately the same spinnig value
as the bulk of the cotton of India.
On economic principles, the Amer
ican product should be maintain
ed on a higher level of intrinsic
worth than that of India in order
that the American crop may not
be forced to compete in the mar
kets of the world with the cotton
of India.
2. Cotton of less than seven
eighths inch staple is inferior to
the average American quality,and
localities that produce such cot
ton in appreciable quantities soon
establish reputations for an infe
rior product. The price of all cot
ton in such markets will suffer on
account of the poor reputation of
the market.
3. Competent cotton buyers
discriminate against extremely
short staplewhenever such cotton
is discovered. They should be
equally careful to discriminate in
favor of cotton of good staple.
The farmer who produces inferi
or cotton is likely to find that his
products bring a price materially
lower than quotations would indi
cate as its true value. The seller
commonly looks upon such dis
crimination a penalty, while
the buyer considers that he is
paying the full vaule for an infe
rior commodity.
4. Under the practice of the
cotton trade, the price of spot cot
ton is governed largely by future
quotations. In order that future
quotations might more accurately
reflect the value of spot cotton,
STOMACH TROUBLE
Mr. Marion Holcomb, of Nancy, Ky., says: “For quite
a long while I suffered with stomach trouble. 1 would
have pains and a heavy feeling after my meals, a most
disagreeable taste in my mouth. If I ate anything with
butter, oil or grease, I would spit it up. I began to have
regular sick headache. I had used pills and tablets, but
after a course of these, I would be constipated. It just
seemed to tear my stomach all up. I found they were
no good at all for my trouble. I heard
THEDFORD’S
BUCK-DRAUGHT
recommended very highly, so began to use it It cured
me. 1 keep it in the house all the time. It is the best
liver medicine made. Ido not have sick headache or
stomach trouble any more. 1 ' Black-Draught acts on
the jaded liver and helps it to do its important work of
throwing out waste materials and poisons from the sys
tem. This medicine should be in every household for
use in time of need. Get a package today. If you feci
sluggish, take a dose tonight You will feel fresh to
morrow. Price 25c a package. All druggists.
ONE CENT A DOSE Qm
Congress, in the United States cot
ton futures Act, provided a form
of contract, exempt from the tax
imposed by the Act, on which cot
ton of extremely low grade or
which is less than seven-eighths
inch in length of staple in not de
livered. This action by Congress
was intended primarily for the
benefit of producers. One of its
results was the adoption by the
New Yory and New Orleans Ex
changes of the exempted form of
future contract, so that cotton of
less than seven-eighths inch in
length of staple cannot be deliv
ered thereon. This legislation in
no way affects any sale of spot
cotton.
5. As the variety of seed plant
ed is the primary factor in deter
mining length of staple, and as
there are early maturing prolific
varieties which produce a staple
of at least an inch in length, no
farmer or community is justified
in planting an inferior variety, or

Many thousands o!
women suffering; from
womanly trouble, have
been benefited by the use
of Cardui, the woman’s

we receive, similar to this
one from Mrs. Z. V. Spell,
of Hayne, N. C. “1 could
not stand on my feet, and
Just suffered terribly,”
she says. “As my suf

Ii you are nervous, run

physicians who have used
Cardui successfully with
their women patients, for
