Washington, D.,Cm.or niany years tho farmers of Mecklenburg county have complained that the -buyers of Charlotte had combined against them to get their cotton at prices below the 'market values. Seve-al years ago a protest was registered by sonding Mecklenburg cotton to Concord, Wax naw, Fort Mill and Monroe. Farmers in other counties have made similar complaints against the buy ers in their market towns. The Oflice of Markets of the Depart ment of Agriculture has issued for the papers u, very vigorous and inter esting statement covering this ancient but important subject. The utterance from the department is in the form of a bulletin-bulletin No. 36-which deals with conditions of Oklahoma. "There is not a single important step or process in the entire cotton handling and marketing scheme which owes its origin to a special considera tion of the producer's interests," the chief of the Ollice of Markets says, "'The studies as to the conditions of mtarketing cotton began in October 1912. They have covered 10: cottoi market towns of Oklahoma, involved the sampling of over 3,200 bales o1 cotton with records of (late, place o sale, and price paid to the grower They also involved careful gradini and stapling of these samples, and t close comparison between the price: paid to the grower and the actual dif ferences in grade. As a result of thes< studies, the investigators find thw practically every feature of the hand ling and marketing system is retaine( because of the insistence of some on of the numerous middlemen and car viers who have at best only a tempor ary interest in cotton. Even the spin ners' desire for a better 'bale kept un der shelter until it is shipped to the mill and with a covering which wouli keep the cotton clean and dry is sys tematically ignored. "These conditions apply to man; other cotton markets in the Soutli Partly as a result of the findings, th Of1ce of Markets is now conducting investigations in 80 typical local mar keting points throughout the cottoi belt." The middlenan is hit a severe blo by the Office of Markets in the Okin homa cotton report. What is true c Oklahoma, the Department of Agr culture thinks, is true of North Carc lina. The report continues: "Accurate knowledge of cotton grad Ing is of little value to the produce in markoting his individual crop ur der present conditions. The price paid to farmers both for seed and lin cotton are too largely based on a' erages. This works great injustice t the producers of the best grades. Ti greatest losses to the farmers undtn the -present system of marketing aj pears to lie in thteir failure to secur the premium for their gradles wh these bales flttally bring." 'The following comparisons are mad to show the way the farmer gets it the iteck: "Tio bring out the general relatic between the price of middling cotte in dlifferenit local markets int Oklahb -ma as co:nparedl with the (Gaiveste closing prices of the precedinig da fouir middling hales were selected different times in fIfteen towns, the range of local pri'ce noted, andic di ference from the Galveston price dI termnined. "it was found that the range priice paid in a local market for diffe ent bales of midling cotton varn from $0.75 in Dutncan to $6 a fale lErick, where on the satme dlay $52 ai $58 were paid for a bale of this an gra do. "The difference between local a y. crage middling prices antd the Gaive a- ton price varIed from $0.69 in Ryant 1s $5.20 in Marietta. There seems to1 hdno regularity in variations between I cal prlces and the Galveston prices. Norman at different times the dilffr d. once from the Galveston price wv '. $1.05, $2.19 anid $3.10.

Comnissioner Watson Will Ask Legis. lature to Forbid Its Use in Mills. Columbia-Charging that the "suc tion shuttle now used in many of the South Carolina textile plants is a great menace to the health of miill opera tives. Commissioner Watson today an nounced that he will ask the general assembly to enact a measure to have all of this class of machinery removed from mills. The commissioner said that the shuttle required the mill op eratives "to suck .the thread through" and that it was a means of communi cating disease. He said that it was a greater menace to the health than a public drinking cup. That such ma chinery Is 'being used was made kilown in the reports of the factory inspectors to the department. The commissioner said that he would also ask the legislature to amend the law 'prohibiting telegraph messengers under 10 years old from working after 10 o'clock at night to apply to boys eimployed in places of amusements, cold drink stands and offices. lie will urge the passage of a mea sure to prohibit newshoys under If years of age from working after E o'clock at night and before 6 o'clock in the morning. lie will ask the legislature to amen( the law relative to women clerks it stores to apply to cashiers. He wil ask that no woman he allowed to worl in a mercantile establishment after 10 o'clock at night. It was charge: that many lmerchants in Charlestot had evaded the law by declaring tha the women found in their stores after 10 o'clock were cashiers. "One store in Columbia worked ai woman 15 hour: - a day by using her as a clerk and cash I ior," said the commissioner. - Wonderful Cough remedy. .)r.
