MrUurkln Co,
If your capital la limited you want
to be economical about fitting up and
keeping your poultry plant in repair.
There are dozen* of home made de
yicea you can uae that aave not only
time and money, but are beat adapt
ed to your Individual needs.
For instance, a spool Is as good as
a pulley for many purposes. Some
times you can't find your staples—a
bent nail is lust as good. Or you
want to stretch wire fence where
there are few iost». A heavy wire
run through the fence mesh will hold
It up with few posts.
These are things worth knowing,
and yet they might not occur to the
lets experienced poultryman unless
pointed out to him.
Mi Boyer has been through the
mill, and In his article this week
points cut m-ny wrinkles any one
can grasp and adopt.

Shown herewith are members of that

Superior Quality Long-Staple
Cotton Can Be Grown in America
Former Danger! Removed—Manufacturers Must Now Dis
criminate in Buying and Give the Farmer a More Direct
Interest in Maintaining the Purity and Uniformity of His
Crop.

ton of superior quality can hs grown

ton ball If Ilia farmer can h« given a
more direct Interest In preserving ins
purity and uniformity of hit crop. This
Interest will com* only sa a result of
greater da. rimlnatlon In buying on lha
part of manufacturer*. Buyer* must
cease takng Inferior mixed fiber ant
paying a* much for It as for th* best
and mostuntform, If they really wlan to
nnoourag* the production of long-alapin
cotton In America. These facts »r#
brought out In th# department of agri
culture’s new bulletin, ‘‘The Relation ol
Cotton Buying to Cotton Growing."
Formerly manufacturers have com
plained that the supply of long-slap**
cotton was Inadeguate and uncertain,
soya the bulletin. The boll weevil was
supposed to have made ll almost Impos
sible to grow long-staple varieties, but
this danger has been overcome. New
early-maturing varieties of long-staple
cotton have been developed. Improved
methods of culture have made It possi
ble to produce (owl crops of this cotton
In many parts of the United States de
spite the presence of the boll weevil
Natural conditions favor Its production,
and almost unlimited supplies may be
grown If the farmers will only be en
couraged to lake more rare In main
taining their cotton at a high standard.
The manufacturers who use the long
staple cotton have the key to the prob
lem. More general planting of long
staple cottons cannot be advised until
murketlng conditions are Improved. The
department of agricultures advice to
farmers regarding irecautlona necessary
to maintain the purity and uniformity of
their cotton Is of little value unless they
own obtain a better market price by ob
serving these precautions. The present
tendency to buy long-staple cotton at
flat prices like short-siaple cotton dis
courages the farmer from taking great
er care. On the other hand It en
courgss carelessness ami tendencies that
lend to th* loss of uniformity of fiber
and degeneration of varieties.
Inspection of the cotton In the field
atiords a tnitcli hettrt- basis of Judgment
regarding the essential quality of uni
formity than the present method of
pulling samples from the bales. Field
Inspection should precede warehouse
grading, especially with long-staple cot
tons. Familiarity with a variety of
cotton niakes It possible to recognize
much smaller percentages of ndinlxture
or degeneration than can be detected In
the bale, thus affording a greater degree
of protection to the buyer and manu
facturer and at the same time offering
a greater Inducement to the farmer to
maintain the purity and untfoAnlty of
his cotton.
It rests largely with the commercial
world of manufacture*-* nnd buyers to
determine what kind of filler the farmer
shall produce today. Many districts of
the cotton belt, and the newly settled
Irrigated regions of the Southwest are
ready and adapted for the long-staple
V. rtety If the market price warrants Its
production.
The presence of she boll weevil Is now
an additional reason for growing long
staple instead of short-staple cotton.
The extra care and precautions that are
have been waging a merry little war
on Organized Baseball. The Chance*
now are that the Federal* will rise to
major league power—that In a year or
*o they will demonstrate to the baseball
public that they are worthy toe of
Organized Baseball.
And then w*hat will happen?
Be.sebah warfare does not appeal to
the magnate. And It detracts consid
erably from his bankroll. Of course no
magnate In Organized Baseball now
wants to take In the Federal outfit.
100 to 1 Shot.
But, If the Federate continue to show
strength, If they continue to grab off the
major league stars and continue to force
the Organized people o pay huge sala
ries to player* to keep them from Jump
ing. It's a 100 to 1 shot that the Or
ganized Moguls wnll do the only thing
possible to save themselves from bank
ruptcy-avid that is to wave the olive
l.vanch In the general direction of the
Federal*. And the>*ll wave it lustily,
too.
And. It's another 100 to 1 shot that the
Federal*, despite their declarations now
that they never will enter Organized
Baseball will make n frantic grab for
the spring, nnd so make hapebail even
a bigger trust than It Is today.
Incubation in the Natural Way
There are two way’s to incubate eggs—the natural
nnd the artificial. The natural wav is the cheapest for
the small poultrvman, but almost impractical on the
modern large poultry farm.
Spring is, of course, the time when Nature gener
ally inspires the hen to get broody, because of weather
conditions. How to handle the broody hen is therefore
a timely topic., and one of the very highest poultry au
thorities in the country will next week write on this
important topic.

tha weevil tnuks It pwalbl# to produce
k better staple Thus ih* growing of
long-staple cotton, to sell at » higher
price, may be considered as a means of
securing w return for the Increased cost
of production or the diminished yield
thet may be raused by th# boll weevil.
That the present system of buying I*
seriously defective Is now widely rec
ognlked. and radical reforms are being
sought through legislation nnd oth#T
wlse. Hut It Is highly desirable that
reform# In the commercial world be
considered In their relation to th* Im
provement of the quality of the crop and
not merely to secure higher prices for
Inferior cotlon. There Is no prospect
that suet, prices can be maintained by
nny action that may he taken In the
United Htates. The only secure basis
for our cotton Industry Is In the Im
provement of the product. Otherwise,
we remain exposed to the danger of for
eign competition. It Is much more Im
portant to Improve the quality of iur
cotton ernip than to secure high prices
without such Improvement, since high
prices for Inferior cotton will only stim
ulate the rapdly increasing production
of low-grade cotton In other parts of the
world.
The manufacturing world. In Europe
as well ns In the United State*, seem*
to he unanimous in the opinion that the
eotton <*-op lias deteriorated In recent
decades. The same complaint Is made
regarding all of the principal typea of
cotton Upland short maples, long sta
ples. Egyptian, and Sea Island. While
direct evidence on the fact of deteriora
tion Is not easy to obtain, there Is cir
cumstantial support for the Idea that
deterioration haa taken place, for the
system of buying has allowed changes
that would naturally tend toward a de
cline In the quality of the crop. The
necessary jAecautlons of selection and
for avoiding admixture of seed have
been relaxed, nnd even planting of In
ferior varieties has been encouraged.
The general disregard of the essential
((Utilities of length, strength, and higher
grade on the part of buyers has had tne
natural effect of leading the farmrt-s to
believe that the most desirable charac
ter n cotton variety can have Is that of
giving a high percentage of lint, "a long
outturn at the gin.” This erroneous idea
Is now firmly fixed in the popular mind,
and Is not likely to he eradicated while
the present system of buying continues.
No matter how inferior In other re
spects a variety may he, thousands of
bushels of seed can he sold by advertis
ing a high percentage of lint.
Present Buying System.
The fact that some of the varieties
with highest lint percentages produce
extremely short. Inferior fiber does not
lnterfrt-e with the planting of such va
rieties as long as the farmer can sell
Ihree-tiuarter-nch cotton for us much us
inch cotton or even inch-and-an-eighth
cotton. The popularity of these short
linted varieties Is a result of the pres
ent system of buying. In former dec
ades, when th# quality of the fiber was
considered, nobody would have thought
of growing such cotton or of breeding
such varieties. In addition to their in
ferior lint, the high percentage vare
ties usually have smaller seeds and
wwiker seedlngs, a very undesirable
character from the agricultural stand
point. It is easier to secure higher per
centages by selecting variations toward
Bmall seeds than to increase the amount
of lint on the seeds.
Manufacturers have assumed or hav*
been led to suppose that the dangers
threatening the cotton Industry were
purely agricultural, such as the exhaus
tion of the soil, change of climate, or
attacks of the boll weevil, nnd this
makes it harder for them to understatto
