> WARNING TO PRODUCERS
Against Planting Seed of Interior
Grades of Cotton.
Washington, D C, March 29:?The
department of agriculture April 9,
1914,and again March 2, 1915,issued
warnings to farmers of the Southwest
against planting varieties of
cotton that usually produce a staple
of less than seven-eighths inch in
length, especially such varieties as
are said to produce half seed and
half lint. In view of the approach
ing planting season the department
wishes to reiterate these warnings
for the benerit of the entire cotton
belt. The producers of cotton, for
their own welfare, should heed this
advice, and should exercise judicious
care in the selection of planting seed.
The following reasons are given
for warning cotton growers against
planting any variety that usually
produces a staple of less than seveneighths
inch in length:
1. Cotton of less than seven
- - ?
eighths inch 9taple is or approximately
the same spinning value as
the bulk of the cotton of India. On
economic principles, the American
product should be maintained on a
higher level of intrinsic worth than
that of India in order that the American
crop may not be forced to compete
in the markets of the world
with the cotton of India.
2. Cotton of less than seveneighths
inch staple is inferior to the,
average American quality, and localities
that produce such cotton in appreciable
quantities soon establish
reputations for an inferior product.
The price of all cotton in such markets
will suffer on account of the
poor reputation of the market.
3. Competent cotton buyers discriminate
against extremely short
staple whenever such cotton is discovered.
They should be equally
careful to discriminate in favor of
cotton of good staple. The farmer
who produces inferior cotton is likely
to find that his product brings a
price materially lower than quotations
would indicate as its true value.
The seller commonly looks upon such
discrimination as a penalty,while the
buyer considers that he is paying the
full value for an inferior commodity.
4. Under the common practice of
the cotton trade, the price of spot

quotations. In order that future
quotations might more accurately
reflect the value of spot cotton, Congress,
in the United States Cotton
Futures act,provided a form of contract,
exempt from the tax imposed
by the act, on which cotton of extremely
low grade or which is less
than seven-eighths inch in length of
staple is not deliverable. This action
by Congress was intended primarily
for the benefit of oroducers. One
of its results was the adoption by the
New York and New Orleans exchanges
of the exempted form of
future contract, so that cotton of
less than seven-eighths inch in length
of staple cannot be delivered thereon.
This legislation in no way affects
anv sale of spot cotton.
5. A.s the variety of seed planted is
the primary factor in determining
length of staple, and as there are
early maturing prolific varieties that
produce a staple of at least an inch <
in length, no farmer or community i
is justified in planting an inferior I
variety, or in expecting the full !
market price for a debased article of
commerce. <

of about two inches. Place the paper
about an inch or so away from the
plant and allow it to remain there
until the plants have reached a good
growth and the nights become warm,
as the cut worm ceases his depredations
about the time the nights stop
being cool. This method has been
tried out and works most satisfactorily
in the garden.
