Cotton of less than seven -eighths Ineli staple Is inferior to the average American quality, and localities that produce such cotton In appreciable quantities soon establish reputations for an inferior product. The price of all rot ton In such markets w ill suffer on account of the poor reputation of the market. M. Competent Cotton buyers discrim inate against extremity short staple whenever such cotton Is discovered. They shouh.l be equally eareft'il to dis criminate In favor of cotton of good staple. The farmer who prodm-es In ferior cotton Is likely to tlnd that his product brings a price materially low er than quotations would Indicate as' Its true value. The seller commonly looks upon such discrimination as n penalty, .while the buyer considers that he Is paying the full value for an In ferior coimuodiLy. I. Viuler the common practice of the cotton trade, the price of spot cot Ion Is governed largely by future quo tations. In order that future . quota tions-might more accurately reflect the value of spot cotton, Congress, In the I'nlted States Cotton Futures Act, pro vided a form of contract, exempt from the tax Imposed by the Act, on which cotton of extremely low grade or which Is less than seven eighths Inch In length of staple is not deliverable. This action by Congress was intended primarily for the benefit of producers. One of Its results was the adoption by the New York and New Orleans Ex changes of (lie exempted form of fu ture eoiit met. ?. so that cotton of less than seven-eighths Inch in length of staple cannot be delivered thereon. This legislation In tin way affects any sale of spot cotton. 5.

For years it has been a dream; of those familiar with the sublimity of the Southern Appalachian Moun tains that th?> territory included in the Mount Mitchell National Forest, shornl ho preserved, in its primeval grandeur and sylvan beauty. as a pleasure park for the people of the entire country. The dream now Is a bout to he realized. Through the action of the Na tlo.tml Government and the State of North Carolina, the Mount Mitchell region will be preserved as one of the beauty spots of the Western world Mount Mitchell, the peak of com manding Interest in the new national forest. t<K?k its name from Dr. Elishn Mitchell, a professor of the University of North Carolina. A maik of great learning and notable achievements In the realms of science, he mensured the height of the mountain in 1835. and es tablished the fact that its summit was the highest land In North America, east of, the Misslppl Kiver. Twenty two years later, while verifying his original measurements, he lost his life near the summit of the ^mountain which he loved so well. The scene of his death was roman tically lieautiful. Pouring over a precJ Iplce. a mountain torrent originally had. tumbled sheer many feet, to solid rock below. The attrition of Its waters for centuries had worn out a smooth, circular basin, quite fourteen f(*et deep ind as many feet in diameter. In the ?lcar, cold, limpid water which filled the basin lay the body of Dr. Mitchell. 'MTfee.tly preserved. lie had fallen ;lown a steep declivity Into the pool and. among the mysteries of Nature which he had studied so diligently, he had given up his life. His grave to day is at the very summit, of his be loved mountain. For all time and In i>eri>etulty for the American people, assurance now Is given that this grand tract of forest and mountain land will be kept; but it was only two or three years ago that the woodman's axe menaced its sublime beauty. Lumbermen had pur chased the timber on Mount Mitchell and were about to cut It when the Hon. Ii<>cke Craig, Governor of North Carolinas intervened. Through his ur gency. the Cieneral Assembly made an appropriation for the purchase of the land and timber around the summit for park purposes. Additional moun tain lands have l>een taken under the supervision of the Government and converted into the Mount Mitchell Na tional Forest, which stretches in a magnificent panorama of sylvan scen ery north and west an?? east of the city of Aslieville. Fine automobile boulevards and roadways radiate from the city into this superb natural park. They -arc well-maintained and load to innumer able points of historic and scenic in terest. Scores of horse-lmck and foot trails beckon the follower into the very midst of primeval solitude. Many of the trails are easily followed and all of them afford delightful out-door ex periences ; but the traveler uninitiated in mountain-craft would better ac company a guide. The negotiation of the mountain trails afforded by the Mount Mitchell National Forest is fascinating sport and, in the salubrious climate of the park, is among the most healthful of physical exercises. The practical advantages to be offered in the National Forest, through Chief Forester < J raves, even out-weiph the sentimental and scenic advantages Charming sites for cottages and tem porary camps are to !>e placed at the disposal of those who may desire them Only the mildest restrictions will Ik* Imposed upon campers, visitors and per manent residents.

In the very heart of the Southland the Government In establishing this reservation first of all for the pro tection of the streams has made a vallable for the people this wonder ful forest park which ofl^Ts the bene fits and delights of an out-door life in the midst of ideal surround ings.
