Southern Cotton Associa tion, .Columbia, S. C. Gentlemen: The time for picking cotton having arrived; has It ev»r occurred to you to look into the question of damage brought almut by a lack of care for the staple from the time It is ginned to the time of marketing? Having lived on a plantation for twenty-one years, and at 'present (ywping and operating otre. as Vett-as trefrrg In The” cotton Im si - ness for the pa8t len years, 1 thought possibly that my observations along this- Hne might ,tend to show the great amount of money lost to this cotton producing country. 1 desire to Impress upon the farmer the necessity of caring for his cot ton after laboring hard all the stations in t^e mud and rain, or you will see It Tying ' on the ground around farm houses, where it will tot^markat when marketed, the bagging will be 80 rotten that you can not handle the' cotton. Owing to ihe seeming neg^yence displayed in the care of coTtori after girining, tlie buyer, when purchasing a lot of cotton, has to take into con sideration the element of damage, or he would rather send his classer to-receive the cotton, thereby estab lishing the amount of damage !>e- fojie payment is made. Where you find a section of country, where great care is taken with the cotton, after ginning, and before marketing, there FOit will find cotton sought after by the buyers, and everything else being ^ory, equal, a premium' win be paid for same. 1 —The manufacturers wlH Tray bet ter prices for cotton free from rot and country damage, because his percentage of waste will be decreas ed. -> The point I desire to impress is, take care of your cotton, handle it as though you thought something of it. If you cannot put It tt a ware house where it is Insured and you can use the receipt, put It in your barn, or shed room, or anywhere to keep it from climatic conditions *m- til you market it, and by doing .this rlent, treat the staple as though it were coal, allow ing it lo lie on theT s ' re P' pound wITThe splnuVble and no ground for months after ginning" subject to climatic conditions, which results in rot and country damage. When the cotton is ready -for mar ket it Is picked up and offered for sale, the damage, as a usual thing. !>elng disregarded until tunjected to the buyer's Inspection, who, in pro tecting his Interests, will either dock for the damage or have the cot ton picked, resulting in great loss to the farmer, lAfimiTVHwJ.lv j, i 8 to the farmer's Interest to store his cotton In a reputable warehouse thereby protecting himself from Joss by fire as well as damage, and In ad dition he can secure warehouse .re ceipt for same which Is prime mcr- cantlle paper, and can be discounted at any bank, allowing The farmer to sell his cotton when he desires to do so. upon the farmers to house their cot ton as soon as it is ginned, whether it he in a warehouse, or in their barns, or dwelling, thereby reducing the element of damage to a minimum 'To my mind, one of the most Im portant things the Farthers' Union and the Southern Cottbn Association could handle is the caring for cotton after it Is ginned, and up to the time it is marketed Having personally handled, during the past ten years, about 300,000 bales of coftoh of ail grades and staple, this coTTori being shipped here from Texas and Oklaho ma on the West, to North CaroHtt* on the East. 1 do think I am In a very fair position to speak intelli gently of the item of damage, large ly caused by earelessness/^ik^— JM*-ad-dit ion Xer rottT*n 'cotton on thousands of bales, varying from five to as much as three hundred poundft per bale, all of which has to be picked off before settling for and which is caused by allowing the cot ton to sit on one end or lie on ofie side In the mud and rain for months n^ffQor nent oT" before olTereiTTor sate: there 1s an other element oT damage which is not so easily detected, but which has for-more reaching- effect on the- buyer, as well as the manufacturer. I refer to whet -t* called country damage. When cotton Is allow’ed to stand in the weather after being ginned f.»r any length of tlm3. although the owner may turn It about from side to side to keep it from rotting, the staple of the cotton on the outside dissatisfaction between producer, buyer, and manufacturer Xsill result. There are some places in So th Carolina where warehouse facilities are a'dequte, but. are unfortunately not utilized. My own experience Is that foxir lots of cotton out of every five shipped from places where cotton is not warehoused ape badly dam aged, due to the fact that It Is allow ed to sit on one end for weeks end months in the open before it is of fered for sale, and as a result, heavy claims are made, and yet the lest character of cotton, so far as body and staple is concerned. Is produced at these places, and would l>e very much sought, were the element of damage eliminated.

To illustrate, a bale cotton ginned and packed December first and al lowed to remain in the weather until the first of March, will have abopt half as much country damage as the sasie bale would have if it remained In the weather until May the first, and when the manufacturer opens this bale, he'wlll find that the cotton sticking to the bagging and extending inward is practically without any strength of staple, and as a result all of this affected cotton will go in waste, or be found in the shafting overhead. Should the buyer -de tect this country damage the farm er Is the looser: should fhe buyer not detect It. the buyer is the looser; In khy event, dissatisfaction is the result .all bf which could have been avoided by houSfng the cotton. The amount of country damage varies In proportion to the time the cotton lies put. In the weather, and will vary from three to twenty-five pounds per bale. I have carefully estimated that on every 11,000,00(1 bale crop produced, the producer, the carrier, and the compress together, allow 260,000 bales to be destroyed by rot and country damage, and when you figure this at ten cents per pound It amounts ' to 112,600.00, all of which crfuld be served to the pur- ducer, the buyer, and the manufac turer, should they exercise the pro per precaution against damage. Three years ago a farmer brought twenty bales of cotton to the warehouse for storage in March, which had been t«t in the weather, since It was gin- ^*** l .Red In the fall.

The watchful ness which Te will use with an ani mal of which be Is uncertain Is al lowed to lapse, and It Is that moment of carelessness for which the animal la ever on the alert. To such lapses are due 95 per cont of the accidents and attacks on animal trainers. A lion will work himself up Into s frenzy of rage throng! Jealousy. There Is cne trainer I know who was almost killed by a lioness who was jealous, not of another animal, but o' a woman. Tbe trainer was In the rage at the time, when he saw hla daughter outside the erge. He smiled at her and the lioness saw it. In a moment she changed. Her docility changed to fury and she sprung at him. He was terribly torn before he was dragged out of the cage.

The man was with the show only one season. Ten years Ja.ter that man was nearly killed by Jug in a little town tn the West, where tbe man lived and the show visited. The animal remembered his old ene my and reached out from the street parade, seized the man and badly crushed him. The most treacherous animals are the leopards and jaguars. You hear people, particularly women. call them “poor pussy'' as they lie blink ing and purring. ■ Let them got close and they would flud "that "pussy*’ would scratch. Their sly ness and cunning are wonderful, and they will spring at their trainer the instant his back is turned.
