TO SAVE MILLIONS
ON COTTON CROP
Senator E. 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.

Hand, High .School Inspector have la
bored so intelligently and earnestly
for the upbuilding bf the public school
syaom of the state, we the County
Teachers' Association of Laurens
county do hereby express our appre
clation not only for the work accom
plished in South Carolina but especial
ly for their sympathetic co-operation
and ielp to the teachers of this coun
ty.

CROSS OR FEVELIS1
Look Mother! If Tongue is Coated give
"California Syrup of Figs" to Clean
the Bowels.
:Mother! Your child isn't naturally
cross and peevish. See if tongue is
coated; this is a sure sign its little
stomach, liver and bowels need a
cleansing at once.
When listless, pale, feverish, full of
cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't
eat, sleep or act naturally, h'as stom
ach-ache, diarrhoea, remember, a ge'
Ile liver and bowel cleansing should
always he the first treatment given.
Nothing equals "California Syrup of
Figs" for children's ills; give a tea
spoonful, and in a few hours all the
foul -waste, sour bile and ferment ing
food which is clogged in the bowdes
passes out of the system, and you have
a well and playful child again. All
children love this harmless, dell4ei;s
"fruit laxative." and it never fails to
effect a good "inside" cleansing. Di
rections for hablies, children of all ages
aid grown-ups are plainly on the bot
tIe.
Keep it handy in your home. A littie
given today saves a sick child tomor
row, but get the genuine. Ask your
druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "Call
fornia Syrup of Figs," then look and
see that it I: made by ti, "California
Fig Syrup Company." Counterfelts are
being sold here. Don't be fool 'd!
