State College of Agriculture) SIXTIETH CONGRESS NOW IN SESSION COTTON PRODUCERS ON EVE OF VICTORY Currency Legislation Most President Jordan Shows Urgent Question, j Why This is So. The low price now being paid for cotton seed makes the disposition of tills part of the crop well worthy of the farmers most careful considera tion. A ton of cotton seed contains about <5 pounds of ammonia, 26 pounds of phosphoric acid and 24 pounds of potaBh. The ammonia at 15 cents a pound would be worth j 11.25, the prosphorlc acid at 5 cents a pound would be worth $1.30, and the iiotash at 5 1-2 cents a pound would be forth $1.32. The fertilizing value of one ton of cotton seed is thus seen to be $13.87 at prevailing market prices for available plant WASHINGTON, D. C„ Nov. 2.— IPtI* 16 81x <Ieth congress of 8tates was formally open- » usual ceremonies today, o.oii de from the reading and consld- nns 1 .H of the president's message and the usual squabbles over the spoils of Office, few matters of gener al Interest are likely to come up dur- drs * week of congress. That currency legislation will be urgently demanded Is assured by the mianclal situation In which the coun try finds Itself. Great difference of opinion is manifested In the two houses as to the necessary measures to be taken to solve the currency question, but there Is no doubt that the demand for legislative action will food; In other words, at the price I i“ c ueulana tor legislative actlc the farmer would be called on to pay I ,, 8 f „ greater and 8tr onger than ever for commercial plant food. With cotton seed at from $10.00 to $12. 00 Mn.VuVt 0f the Unlted 8tat C S a ton. It Is clear that it would pn\ ‘ “ enate which assembled today the farmer to use his seed for ferti- new ' Inc,u dlng the two r llzer. Of course, It would be much better to feed the seed to the cattle and save the manure and apply to the land. Especial care should be taken to save the liquid part which is rich In nitrogen. This can be effected by using leaves, straw and litter of various kinds as absorbents. The raw seed can only be fed with satisfaction In limited quanti ties to cows because of the excessive new. Including the two United states senators who will come from Oklahoma, there are seventeen new faces. The newcomers are William Alden Smith, Michigan; H. A. Richardson, Delaware; Jefferson C. Davis, Arkan sas; Thomas H. Paynter, Kentucky; Robert L. Taylor, Tennessee; Joseph M. Dixon, Montana; Charles C. Cur tis, Kansas: Frank Briggs, New Jer sey; William E. Borah.

Bankhead, Ala- ■ ' ad “ nama; Simon Guggenheim, Colorado and Isaac Stephenson, Wisconsin. in much larger amounts to good ad vantage. The steaming Is easily ac complished. All that is needed is a tight wooden box of any desired length and not over 3 feet deep and ;i feet wide. Near the bottom of this box an Iron pipe should be run from the boiler or feed cooker and small oitenlngs-made throughout its length so its to permit the steam to escape readily. Fill the box full of seed, pack down securely and cover with old sacks. Turn In live steam and allow to stand, over night. The la bor involved In steaming the seed amounts to something, but It will pay the farmer to handle them as suggest ed owing to the better results ob tained when fed to cows or beef cat tle. When tho farmer has no appar atus at home for cooking the seed satisfactorily, It may often be possi ble to have the work done at the gin house About 96 to 98 per cent of the total mineral matter In the seed will be voided In the casrf of the beef cattle and 80 per cent In the case of dairy cows Of the fifteen men who, for one reason or another, were retired, eight were Democrats and seven Republic cans. Of the fifteen newcomers, eleven are republicans and four Dem ocrats. Even with a Democratic pres idential victory next year. It will be Impossible for the Democrats to get possession of the senate within tni next four years. Of fnferast To Women.

One of them confessed to Officer Thrasher that his name was J. T. Scarborough, that ids .home was In Americus. He sa{d that he had only known bis companion a few weeks, that he had told him his name was Upchurch and his home was In Chicago. Scarborough had a pass book made out In his name on the Citizens Bank and Trust Co., of Tampa, showing several deposits made last April. Upchurch had an open letter In his pocket which had evidently been de livered to him, addressed to J. H. Bowling, Smlthville, Ga., from a firm In Chicago, and also one addressed to J. H. Bowling, 6883, Forty-third street, Chicago, which har been mailed In that city. Both are reluctant to talk, and appearantly are making no effort to give bond, awaiting the resources of their attorneys. President ITarvie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton Association, has Issued a circular letter to cotton producers, advising them to stand by their guns, and that a rise In price Is inevitable, if the farmers hold out a little longer. Mr. Jordan says; “In the face of the strenuous efforts of bearish manipulation to depress prices for spot cotton, the cotton growers all over the South are stand ing firm, in their heroic purpose to maintain the market and prevent the anticipated panic of rush sales, so confidently hoped for from certain speculative sources. The records show that the crop has moved freely, until quite recently, and the year's obligations, due by the farmers^ largely liquidated. Every banker, merchant, and business interest in the South ahoifld now give every possible aid to the growers In the present holding movement, until the price of spot cotton reaches the high level it should attain, and force the payment of its full Intrinsic value. "The recent census ginners’ report does not Indicate a crop In excess of 11,000,000 bales, due to the very short yield In the Southwest. “Production In 'foreign countries is reported at leaftt 2,000,000 bales short as compared with last year. "Exports of American cotton exceed ed 9,000,000 bales In the last twelve months, and the demand continues unabated. The money stringency Is fast being relieved and the business will soon assume Its normal level. Sell no cot ton that can be financed, or held, at present prices. The future strength of the cotton growing Interests of the South depends upon winning the victory In the present struggle. Let every man In the South do his full duty and the reward will be sure and swift in the realization of high er prices. “Farmers, merchants, bankers and business Interests generally favorable to the holding movement should hold mass meetings at once In their respe ctive counties or parishes and determine upon a concentrated effort and an effective co-operation."

JUDGE H. C. SHEFFIELD DEAD AT ARLINGTON End Gomes to Wellknown Jurist. "The farmers of Sumter county alone will lose not less than five hundred bales cotton as the result of the rain we are now getting, as the half open bolls In the fields will rot upon the stalk from the excessive moisture.” Thus spoke Capt. John A. Cobb yes terday, at the same time exhibiting evidence to back his statement In his office at the courthouse he had a quart of cotton bolls brought In from his farm near the city. These were In various stages of maturity, many of them half open. Under favorable weather conditions all such bolls would have opened. rors. There were three appropriations for the twelfth census, the prelim inary appropriation of $1,000,000 made by the Twelfth Census act, and the subsequent appropriations amounting to $12,510,210, not all of which was spent for the decennial census proper.
