HATHAWAY, Winder “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.

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 Health About Gone Many thousands o! women suffering; from womanly trouble, have been benefited by the use of Cardui, the woman’s tonic, according to letters 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 fering was so great, and he had tried other reme dies, Dr. had us get Cardui. . * I began improving, and it cured me. 1 know, and my doctor knows, what Car dui did for me, lor my nerves and health were •bout gone.” TAKE CARDUI The Woman’s Tonic She writes furtherr am in splendid health ... can do my work. I feel I owe it to Cardui, for I was in dreadful condition.'* Ii you are nervous, run down and weak, or suffer from headache, backache, etc., every month, try Cardui. Thousands of women praise this medi cine for the good it has done them, and many physicians who have used Cardui successfully with their women patients, for years, endorse this medi cine. Think what it means to be in splendid health, like Mrs. Spell. Give Cardui a trial. AD Druggists jn in expecting the full market price for a debased article of commerce. W.
