Feb. 3.?Discussing the long staple cotton situation in South Carolina in a letter to Commissioner Watfon. D. R. -Coker of Haitsville. says that it is unfortunate that more Interest has not been taken in the. es tablishment of staple markets in the j State. He says hat tho farmers who! are not properly situated should not] feel discouraged. "In response to your request for an| opinion on the staple cotton situa tion in this, section." says Mr. Coker.] "I "have the following to say; J8tapies of the new types repre sented by tjie prolific big boll vari eties deBceuded .jCroni short staple 'sorts have been 'pj&ntod to a consid feable extent in the western section of Darlington county, contiguous to Hartovllle, for four years. Varieties principally planted there have bees: Hartavllte <l i-8 inches to t 9-16), the Goodnon strain 'and Keensn <1 3-1? to 1 1-14 Inches) and Weber a 1-4 inch to n 5-16). In 1310 there was about 10 per cent. Of the acre age In this section in three varieties end the following year fbout 20 per cent. During these two years when nearly etsry earseer had l>e%*? *.h? long and the short varieties on his farm.! tilt opinion was piwe^Ically unani moun that the long staples had- pro-] duced greater yield,'; than the short. In 1912, owing to the big yields'and' the largo premiums..that had been reali?od on the previous, tw-?' crops, staple planting in our section Jumped to about 87 1-2 per cent of the total cotton acreage. During that year the yield.of the staples was approximate ly the same or possibly 0 per cent Ipbs with staples than with short cotton, ' I this being due to a severe August ! drought which affected the later va rieties AH?Travcr. staple premiums averaged between $2? ?sd .??? per bale during the fall of 1912, and all those planting staples .realized hand some profts. In 1013 the acreage of staples in our section' was approxi mately 95 per cent. A co*d. wet spring made It'extremely dl?b? .It to 'aeenre r.tand?. and there w?? n??ch replant ing?

Profit s Planter Says Farm Ie Discouraged, _ of the farmers thin season, will cause many of those who have act had more-than ?ne or two years' exper ience with our new ataple Tarieties to abandon them. -1 hear !: no talk among those of our farmers who have been planting staples for three or four years about 'such abandon ment. "Many farmers not situated close to a good staple cotton n**i*kAt Imm"* . had - considerable difficulty it? dlt< posing of their product at Its value ! In fact it has been 01 Bleuit In some I Kc-ctions to sell staple cotton at nil, and I know of instances . et here f ar I mers have sold their staple** at the pries*?* short cotton.

Persistent efforts buyers -and other Justness men all over* the State in establishing .and maintaining satisfactory staple mar kets *tn their ttrtms. but excepting a few instances these efforts - have proven failures.

Iacorrert Impression - "?'nihtehtlonaily or not, the impres sion bus gbttcft- abroad that staple varieties are more subject to anthrse nose, or bell rot, than short varieties. An inspection of our variety test, con slating of 57 varieties and sub-varie ties dees not bear out this Impression. Twenty x>f these varieties are stand ard short staple aorta; one of them being a strain put out by a South ern experiment station as having been brad on immunity to anthrac nose.
