A few years ago the staple grown In Cleveland county averaged from an Inch to an inch and a sixteenth, but we understand that the best from the 1921 crop averaged only seven-eighths of an inch. The snort staple of last year was due largely to Weather conditions which were beyojid the control of the cotton growers, but our farmers should begin right now to select good seed, clean them thoroughly and use fertilizers that will produce the longest staple. "We understand that several of our local mills cannot supply their needs IrOm home growth cotton for the reason that the staple is too short, consequently money for raw cotton that should be spent here, is sent away to other states where the longer staple Is obtainable Former Lieut.

GIVES BUSINESS AWAY Borg Has Two Millions and Says That is Alt He Wants.Is $2,000,000 enough money for one person to have? If you had made $2,000,000 would you quit work? "The answer is yes to both questions," says John Borg. Borg is the Wall street broker who i?as just surprised Wall street by giv- I ? kU nWinlAVAh a Q ing nis ousiness iu m? c? gift, says a New York dlepatch. He is only 40. When he was 16 he started as a messenger at $4 a week and he made his fortune in the investment brokerage business. "No, I didn't make one big luoky kiillng," Borg said. "I made my money by plugging. "Now I've got my pile and I'm going to quit. Three of my employes, including a nephew and a brother who have been associated with me for some years, are taking over the business. "Yes, I've made a present of the business to them! I'm retaining a temporary interest. Unfortunately IJ can't Just pick up my hat and walk out and forget the whole thing. I've got to get out slowly. It will probably be several years before I've pulled out entirely. "Why am I quitting? WeU, for two reasons. One is that I've got a hobby. The other is that I've got all the money I need. "Money is a good thing to have. But | it makes you work harder and burdens I you with more responsibility. The more money I've made the more new interi ests I've acquired. It has meant more I and more work, keeping the nose to the grindstone. "So I'm getting out and letting the other fellows make their pile. I'm giving thiem the business because they've earned it, and I haven't any ! further use for it myself. "No, I don't say that every business man who makes his pile ought to hand , his business over to his employes. That's for a man to decide himself. "I'm quitting so I can play. Piling up money doesn't do you any good. You can only eat three square mea's a day. And dissipation isn t any good?it Just gives you a headache. "I'm going to play with my hobby? a newspaper. I'm not a newspaper man. But I've got my ideas about a newspaper. I think it ought to serve the community. My newspaper is making some money, but with me profit is a secondary consideration." Borg, who lives in Hackensack, N. J., owns the Bergen Evening Record. He bought it a year and a half ago. Recently he- endowed a $25,000 scholarship fun3 for the benefit of graduates of the high school of Union Hill, N. J., where he graduated in 1897. Each year one Union Hill boy is sent, tuition and all expenses free, to RutIgers university. "I had to go to work when I got out of high school," Borg said. "I missed a college education. A boy oughit to have one. The boy who gets the scholarship must give a moral pledge that within 10 years after graduation he give to some boy the same opportunity he enjoyed.
