D% Smith Urges Standard Grades-Points to the Need. Washington, Feb. 14.-A saving of $75,000,000 a year to the cotton grow ers of the South, it is estiulated by Senator 10. 1). Smith of South Carolina, would result if the amendment be proposes to offer to the agricultural appropriation bill is adopted. le would appropriate' about $1,000,000 to furnish each shipping point in the South a set of government standard grades of cotton, together with, a set of samples showing the spinning val ue of each grade, so that hereafter producers of cotton might not be de! ceived by buyers and by values arbi trarily fixed by cotton exchanges. Senator Smith received today from the department of agriculture the re sults of its test as to the different grades of cotton standardized by the government to determine the amount of waste in converting .a given num her of bales into yarn; to establish the actual strength of the yarn from each grade; to bleach the cotton and yarn from each grade, and to deter mine the cost and result of bleaching. Only the "full grades" were tested. "Taking the whole findings," said Senator Smith, "on an average the difference 'between the high grades and the low grades as now quoted in the market is from $10 to $15 a bale. Assuming the average crop at 15,000 000 hales, it is conservative to esti mate one-half of the crop at middling. This would give 7,500,000 below the midd'ling grades, and calculating that the farmers have lost, because of lack of this knowledge, an average of $10 a bale, it would mean an annual loss to the cotton farmers of $75,000,000.' Middling fair yarn, tested as to its strength in the unbleached form, broke at 69.5 pounds 'pressure, In its bleached form at 66.7 pounds pressure; good middling at 63.2 in the unbleach ed form and at 61.5 in the bleached. On the. mat ter of waste there' was 7.32 per cent in middling fair: 8.19 in good miidling, 10.38 in 'middling, 12.39 in low middling and 16.17 in good or dinary. 1lE I1 N OIT OF SlTS STAlRT YO ' I,IVEAt WOlilNO No Maler Whnt Alls You.
