Washington, Nov. 23.?The
government's policy with regard to
all phases of the cotton Industry
was outlined tonight by members
of tho department of agriculture's
cotton council to the cotton conference
held in connection with the
annual convention of the Association
of .Land tirunt Colleges.
Presidents, extension direefprs,
and deans of colleges of the various*
cotton crrowimr states, who
have long been active in promoting
the cotton industry, und experts
in every line of cotton
growing'and cotton hiarkeiing
were brought together to discuss a
definite policy with regard to every
phase of the cotton industry. The'
conference was preliminary to the
cotton states conference to bo held
in Memphis early in December'and
which Secretary Wallace of the department
of agriculture will attend
with several government cotton exx
perts. ^
Recommendations made by the
cotton council of the department
of agriculture, after many conferences
in which experts in every
branch of cotton growing or marketing
participated, were laid before
tonight's conference, which
was developed from the ideas of
Dr. H. A. Morgan, pfeuident of
the p"n Ivors it ;*> of Tennessee, and
who has made several tours of the
cotton bolt on investigation for the
department of agriculture
One of the principal subject"
covered in the re: ominundations ;
the fight against the boll weevil.
To oVorcome its ravages it was said
to be of first necessity to mature
the- largest possible Crop in the
shortest possible time. To :. t-ompllsh
that chd the cotton council's
recommendations include:
Makes Recommendations.
' ' Selection of well-drained, fertile
soils; if possible, only land capable
of producing, with rcuaonubh
fertilization, at least half a bale
per acre.
Preparation of a good seed bed
liberally fertilized.
Planting of good seed of improved,
early maturing variety,
recommended for the locality by
the state experiment station and
the department of agriculture.
Planting of seed of a single va-.rioty
by entire communities and
counties.
?vlui .11^ uim maintaining or lull
stand through proper planting and
liberal use of seed, and early and
frequent thorough cultivation.
Destruction of all possible xveevils.
either by hand picking or
poisoning, if weevils are numerous
at. the time cotton is Just beginning
u. .$o square .
, Picking and destruction cf * all
punctured squares every week or
10 days for a month, if not equipped
to poison by dusting. Then, if
weevils are still numerous, apply
calcium arsenate dry dust poison
following directions of department
of agriculture or state college of
agriculture.
Early Picking.
Picking of cotton in the fall as
rapidly as possible and immediately
killing all cotton stalks thereby
destroying the food supply and
breeding places of the weevil before
hibernation period.
Burning over, or cleaning \ p,
during the winter of woodland,
trash or rubbish in which weevils
- successfully hibernate. especially
in ferarced fence-rows, ditch banks
and ravines.
Recommendations for controlling
the bpll weevil were formulated
befbre the announcement ol
".the Florida state plant board of its
new method for reducing boll
>wecvil injury to short staple cot
">-'c*r? and in view of the promising
vesults expected for Florida conditions
the eotton council says it
was clearly desirable that experimental
application of the Florida
plan should be Made in each of the
different states.
Improvement of the quality of
cotton, the optton council declares,
becomes more essential as the
standnrd of living of cotton producers
rises, .and as the competition
of foreign cotton producing
regions increases. Recommendations
are made for the oncourage^Uient
of production of cotton above
. 7-S and up to 1 1-8 inches, there
being no economic justification for
growing fiber less than 7-8 of ar
inch in length It findo tire qu.ti;
ity of the crop has deteriorated in
many localities in recent years despite
efforts of many agencies; private,
state and national. The most
serioua| obstacle to improvement of
the quality of cotton, the comic 1

cotton are planted in the same lcf?cality
resulting quiekly in a blended
mongrel breed of greatly inferior
quality having reduced
' value.
The quality of upland cotton can
be 'improved and the improvement
maintained only through production
of adequate supplies of pure
] / planting seed of superior varieties
for which establishment of centers
of pure seed production In essential.
Restriction of production to
a small number of varieties would
be materially advantageous both
from the standpoint of production
.and mqrjteting.
Vari6tk-s off Seed.
Recommendations of state institutions
a? to the best cotton varieties
for tho different sections of
lhe belt have been a3sembled by
the cvotfon cOtindil and endorsed by
on Council
tal Report on
I Control Methods
it with the suggestion that federal '
cooperation with the states should
be directed toward aiding in the
Establishment of pure variety seed v
production areas. Special encouraxemfn^it
recommends, should be
given to increased production of
.planting seed from Cleveland,
llonc Star and Aeala and varieties
similar to those. '
Acnla cotton is extensively
grown in Texas and Arkansas
while in Oklahoma it 1h now the
leading variety^ind from present
Indications \villo.?e the only variety
grown in that state wthin a few
vyears. It lias been grown suc1
ceaafully in North Carolina and
j Alabama and Its adaptability to
j other sections of the eastern belt
j has been demonstrated. It is an
1 early maturing, big boll, storm|
proof type of Mexican origin, pro;
ducing about 35 per cent lint with
fibre 1 1-16 to 1 3-16 inches in
lorfgth. This fibre has become
very popular with cotton spinners
because of its fine character and
extreme length. A relative large
supply "of pure seed of this variety
i is available.
.Marketing 1*1*01110111.
1 The marketing problem is rec,
ognized by the lotion council to be
j~as important as ' the production
problem. Changes in European
consumers* method of buying have
m&de necessary* a rc-adjustment irr
the methods of handling itnd fir
j nancing cotton in the United
1 dto-ies. Developineht , of coopera;ivo,
us well as independent, en-* i
\ '."' prises looking toward the orj
'ieilv /narkcting of co: on *.hrou 1 h]
put the year have been stimulated
thereby.
The importance of the cooperative
movements which have arisen
to meet the emergency is recognized
by the cotton council which
is'making a careful study of the
fuovemcnts and is desirous of
being helped in making them continuously
successful. Cooperative
marketing, the council bejieves,
"may affect economies in handling.
j not .obtainable by tlio Individual
producer, tend to stabilize the
'marketing and insure the (grower
|adoqunte recognition^ of the value
.of his produce.
? Studies are being made through
the cotton council of every phase
?o?, the present system of cotton ?
;hundling and marketing and fundamental
information regarding
the basis of. hotter marketing, is
,being gathered In extensive re- .
, pen roll, work. Economic studies of
snecessvul cooperative organizations
are practically completed.
'Other investigations ' are -under
way, especially of world markets,
of the relation of grade to spinning
value,, and of the relations of
character and staple to spinning
quality and to" ryospective manu- '
faoturing demand.
