In The Columbia State.) j Washington, March U.-^ong staple cotton of superior quality can be grown to advantage In many parts of our cotton belt if the farmer can bo given a more direct interest in preserving the purity and MoMormUy bf his drop. Thin interest wl!l ttir.o only as a result of greater discrimina. ?lion In-buying on-the part of mjtnu -lfactorers. ?n'yers must ceas? taking ifjaf?rior mixed fiber and- paying as mnch tor it as for"the, best and most uniform if they really.,wi8h 'to en courage the production of long staple cotton a In America. Thes? facts ar*? tironght out in the department of agriculture's nV?w bulletin, "The P?la 8on of Cotton Buying to Cotton Grow - . ?g." r ~ Formerly manufacturers have com plained that th : supply of long staple cotton was '.^adequate and uncertain, says the bulletin. The boll weevil was supposed to have made it almost Unpo'jsib'.e to grow, long staple va Tl?tl^?. but this danger has been over come. New early maturing varieties Of long staple cotton have~ been.de veioped. Improved methods of cut ture have made it possible to produce good; crops of this cotton in many >J parts of, the. United States, despite the 1 presence or the boll Weevil, Natural conditions favor its production, and ?almost unlimited supplies may be grown. It thd farmers' will only be enco jraged to take more care in raaln t&frrag their cotton st a high stand The manufacturers who use : the long ?tapl? cotton have the key to the problem. More general planting of long staple cottons can dot be au ^vised until marketing condition^ arc [{improved. The department of agri e til tu re's advice.' to ? farmers regarding precautions necessary to maintain'the purity and uniformity- of their cotton is Of little value unless they can-ob tain a better market price, by observ ing these pr?cautions. The present tendency .to buy long staple cotton' at flat orlces like short Staple cotton dls Jcourages the farmer from taking- great .'j of core; On the other hand, it en courages carelessness and tendencies that lead to the loss of uniformity of fiber and degeneration of varieties. - n?pfeetlca of ths =ebttos ?n ths-field j affords a ranch' better basis of Judg ement rejr?*dlng the essential quality j?f aaif?vaaHy than the present moth ed of pulling samples from the hales.
