Don’t Plant Inferior Varieties
of Cotton.
Washington, D. C., March 17.—The
Department of Agriculture, on April 9,
1914, and again on March 2, 1916, IS'
aucd warnings to the farmers of the
Bouthwest against planting varieties
of cotton that usually produce a staple
of less than seven-eighths inch in
length, especially such varieties as are
said to produce half seed and half lint.
In view of the approaching planting
season, the department wishes to re
iterate these warnings for the benefit
of the entire cotton belt. The pro
ducers of cotton, for their own wel
fare, should heed this advice, and
should exercise judicious care in the
selection of planting seed.
The following reasons are given for
warning cotton-growers against plant
ing any variety that usually produces
a staple less than seven-eighths inch in
length:
1. Cotton of lesB than seven-eighths
inch staple is of approximately the
same Bpinning value as the bulk of
the cotton of India. On economic prim
ciples, the American product Bhould be
maintained 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 markets of the world
with the cotton of India.
2. Cotton of lesB than aeven-eighthB
inch staple is inferior to the av
erage American quality, and local!'
ticB that produce Buch cotton in ap
preciable quantities Boon establish re
putations for an inferior product. The
price of all cotton in Buch markets will
Buffer on account of the poor reputa
tion of the market.
8. Competent cotton buyers discrim
inate against extremely short staple
whenever such cotton is discovered.
They should be equally careful to dis
criminate in favor of cotton of good
staple. The farmer who produces in
ferior cotton is likely to find that his
product brings a price materially lower
than quotations would indicate as its
true value. The seller commonly looks
upon such discrimination as a penalty,
while the buyer considers that he is
paying the full value for an inferior
commodity.
4. Under the common practice of
the cotton trade, the price of spot
cotton is governed largely by future
quotations. In order that future quo
tations might more accurately reflect
the value of spot cotton. Congress, in
the United States Cotton Futures Act,
provided a form of contract, exempt
# from the tax imposed by the Act, on
which cotton of extremely low grade,
pr which is loss than seven-eighths
inch in length of staple, Is not deliver
able. This action by Congress was in
tended primarily for the benefit of pro
ducers. One of its results was the
adoption by the New York and New
Orleans Exchanges of the exempted
form of future contract, bo that cotton
of leeB than seven-eighths inch in
length of staple cannot be delivered
thereon. ThlB legislation in no way
affects any sale of spot cotton.
6. As the variety of the seed plant
ed is the primary factor in determining
length of staple, and as there are early
maturing prolific varieties which pro
duce a staple of at least an inch in
length, no farmer or community Ib jus
tified in planting an inferior variety, or
in expecting the full market price for
a debased article of commerce.

it to all of them. They were subject
to croup from babies on.” It is a Bate

South Should Raise More and
Better Beef Cattle.
Throughout the South there is a
broad Bnd definite inclination to better
agricultural conditions. It Is unneces
sary to review the various influences
that have contributed to this tendency.
They have been widely discussed. The
important fact is that the movement is
under way, and results are already man
ifest.
Fertility of the soil is the greatest
need, and this can only be acquired and
maintained by increasing the live stock
on the farms. The best results will be
obtained by converting the entire pro
duction of the acres into beef, mutton,
pork and dairy products. This will re
store to the soil the fertility re
quired to produce the crop, and some
besides. This is the most practical,
quickest and surest way to build up the
fertility of the soil, and in addition to
this there is the profit to be derived
from growing live stock.
The Northern cattle-breeders are do
ing a vast and effective work towards
the dissemination of registered sires
through the Southern States. The
American Shorthorn Breeders’ Asso
ciation in Chicago Ib in close touch with
most of the available Southern terri
tory. Their activities naturally are
greater in the tick-free sections, and
just as rapidly as this territory is en
larged the activities of the Shorthorn
Association will expand. This associ
ation keeps a Southern representative
in the field in the person of Mr. T. G.
Chastain, 606 Chamber of Commerce
Building, Atlanta, Ga., widely known
in extension work in connection with
the Georgia State College. Mr. Chas
tain’s services are available to the
Southern farmers, not only in the capac
ity of an adviBer, but he is in a posi
tion also to place interested farmers in
touch with the supply of breeding cat
tle that will enable them to Bolve their
problems.
The Shorthorn is peculiarly adapted
to Southern conditions. It is a dual
purpose breed, excelling both in beef
and milk production. Of hardy consti
tution and gentle temperament, the
Shorthorn iB recognized as the farmer’s
favorite. Southern blood haB accom
plished results beyond contemplation in
the improvement of the native stock in
America, and is to-day probably the
moBt potent factor in the grading up of
cattle throughout the South.
For many years there has been a de
cline in the cattle supply of this country.
The shortage has finally beco me acute,
and tbe cattle-raiser is assured of a
profitable field for many years to come.
With this incentive, and the increasing
of the productiveness of the Southern
farms as an additional inducement,
there should be a more general deter
mination to engage in the raising of
cattle of an improved standard. It is
the South’s brightest hope, agricultu
rally.
Proper Treatment For Biliousness.
For a long time MiBS Lula Skelton,
Ghurchville, N. Y., was bilious and had
sick headache and dizzy spellB. Cham
berlain’s Tablets were the only thing
that gave her permanent relief. Ob
tainable everywhere.
A Northern school teacher wbb spend
ing her vacation down South, and, as
she was passing a tumble-down shanty,
Bhe heard an old negreBB call to a child:
Come heah, Exy! Exyl"
"That Beems like a very peculiar
name for a child, auntie,” said the
teacher.
"Dat ain’t her full name,” answered
the mother with pride; “dat’s jest de
pet name I call her fer Bhort. It’s a
mighty grand name wot dat chile has
S )t. I picked it out’n a medicine book,

A Kentucky Editor Defends the
Kiss.
An indignant Kentucky editor resents
the recent publication in an Eastern
paper the statement, “We don't believe
that kisses from the lips of a pretty
girl taste as good nowa days as they did
twenty years ago,” and says:
"Well, by the dimple on Cupid’s chin,
if that isn’t rank treason and sacri
lege to our most cherished institution,
we’ll eat the office towel I Taste as
good as they did twenty years ago!
Why, there never was a time, from the
instant when Adam and Eve collabo
rated on the pristine kisB, that one didn't
taste good. The silvery stars sang for
joy in the silent heavens until tbe gol
den moment when the kisB was born.
The rose and the violet were noxious
weeds and nectar wsb as flat as circus
lemonade until the world’s first lovers
felt the soul-stirring thrill of that
bubble of bliss—the kiBS.
“Taste as good as they did twenty
years ago! Oh, benighted brother,
they taste as good now as they did
when Mordecai kissed Esther, when
Leander kissed Hero, when Antony
kissed Cleopatra, when Aucassin kissed
Nicollette,-When'Romeo kissed, Juliet,
when Dante kissed Beatrice, when John
Alden kissed Priscilla, When Herman
kissed Dorothea—jUBt as good, you
sour-souled sinner, sb they did on that
night of nights a score of years ago
when you and she were darlings of the
gods, and she held up to you those
quivering rosebuds to let you sip the
honey they contained.
“Does a kisB taste as good? Does it?
You know it does, durn your hide!”
Keep Your Bowels Regular.
Ab everyone knows, the bowels are
the sewerage system of the body, and
it is of the greateet importance that
they move once each day. If your
bowels become constipated, take a dose
of Chamberlain’s Tablets just after
supper and they will correct the dis
order. Obtainable everywhere.

to say?”
