Senator Smith says there are pro- on
| duced in America something like 1,- the(
a 200,000 bales of linters. This is 10 per Sou
" cent of the number of bales of cotton roai
produced. The Senator says that the A
farmers should see to it that the gins belc
I should be so adjusted that such a ed
percentage of the cotton should not __
be left upon the seed. At the present
price for cotton this amount would I
be something like $150,000,000 saved I
to the farmers. The Senator declares I
that this is a matter not for legisla- I
tion, but for the farmers themselves I
j to regulate. , i
