WARNING TO TEXAS PRODUCERS
AGAINST HALF ANO HALF COTTON
———
WASHINGTON l). C. .Inn. 13.—
During the last tw> years the at-
tention of the department of agri-
culture has been dlr v.tt l to the fact
that active campr’ens have result-
e. in the intr > ineiio i u.tc poniont
ft Oklahoma > o\as and Arkansas
of a \ariety of cotton called “Half-
and-Half." It is reported that the
seed ha- been sold for as ranch as
5>..00 per bushel under the repre-
sentation t.nt it is an ex •eedingly
prolific vari- r yielding fifty per
cent of lint or a frvo ’.undrod-pound
11 le from «;ui to•>*»/v*.1 pounds ff

produced In this section.
The department's field on
numerous tabetics nave shown
that "Half-and-Half" does not main-
tain a high rank In total hr* yietd
per acre. The large proportion of
lint to seed apparently results Horn
the fact that the seeds are very smail
and light. The danger of Judging
cotton by lint percentage has b^en
explained in bureau of plant indus-
try circular No. 11. and the caution
has been repeated in U. S. depart-
ment of agriculture bulletin No. 60.
The lint of "Half-and-Half” va-
riety is of poor character irregular
wasty and very short a large portion
ot the samples examined being lpss
lhan seven-eighths of an inch in
length of staple. Cotton less than
seven-eighths of an inch is undesir-
able on futdre contracts made under
the provisions of the I'nited S*att?3
Colton Futures Act and therefore
hryers v.ill penalize it whenever dis-
covered.
The department is informed tha.
many persons who grew this varie-
ty have succeeded in selling it at
prevailing prices but this can not
long continue. When cotton of !es<
than seven-eighths of an inch in
inch in length sells for full mantel
price it is because its true character
wds not detected Whenever cotton
firms find a ^arge part of the cotton
in any community falling to seieo
eighths of an inch or less in length
buyers will be withdrawn from the
district or they will scale down the
prices on all grades to meet the
tower prices which must be expected
for such short staple.
Many Interior buyers as well as
practically all the larger cotton
firms have declined to handle this
cotton at any price. They state that
its lint is far Inferior to that cim-
monly grown in their territory and
i.' not acceptable to their regular
customers.
Competent spinners have stated
that this variety as ordinarily grown
produces so short a fiber as to rend-
er it wholly unsuitable for the class
of work which now consumes the
great bulk of the cotton of the Wes-
tern belt.
Before this agitation became gen-
eral a high-grade sample of this
cotton was submitted by the depart-
ment to two prominent members of
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange
who on the first attempt to put the
staple stated that the fiber wa3 so
short that it would be rejected as
• perishable staple" by their classi-
fication committee and would not
be tenderable on New Orleans cot-
ton contracts. Two members of the
New York Cotton Exchange to
whom samples were submitted made
practically the same remarks.
Various cotton exchanges in the
southwestern states have taken of-
ficial action to prevent the delivery
of this cotton on contracts made be’
tween their members.
As grown in Texas it is lacking
in storm proof quality as the cot-
ton drops from the bolls very easily
and the individuall seeds often fall
apart.
Repeated complaints are received
from English spinners of the num-
ber of “mixy” bales of American
cotton. This condition arises large-
ly through the introduction of short 1
staple into long staple cotton terri-
tory or of long staple Into commu-1
nities growing short staple cotton.
Any serious mixing of varieties
which have fibers of different
lengths results in serious losses in
waste whenever the cotton is spun
upon machinery adjusted for the
longer varieties. Spinners will be
quick to discover any serious mix-
ture of shorter and inferior cotton
and the growers will suffer if such
varieties become popular in their
territory.
In view of these facts the depart-
ment warns the farmers of Oklaho-
ma. Texas and Arkansas that the
it tioduction of “Half-and-Half" or
ary other variety of cotton produc-
ing fiber of less than seven-eighths
of an inch in average length will be
likely to seriously damage the repu-
tation of their local markets and
may result in a few years in basing
the price in such markets on this
irferior cotton. These same dis-
tricts are now receiving a slight
premium over the regular quotations
for short staple. It will be a mat-
ter of particular regret to seo the
results of the campaign which has
been carried on by the department in
these states in behalf of pure big
boll varieties (Triumph and Lone
Star) jeopardized by the promiscu-
ous introduction of cotton of greatly
inferior staple. Such a policy must
result in very serious losses to all
the growers in the communities
v here the poorer tjpes become com-
mon.
As the seed is the primary factor
in determining lengfh of staple ?nd
there ore early maturing prolific
■arietics with staple of at least an
inch in length every cotton farmer
should secure and plant such seo.i

Don't neglect your first cold cough
or any Bronchial affection this
fall but commence treatment im-

proper medicine it can be checked
from the very start and promptly
cured but if neglected probably
hang on all winter; if it does not
develop into someihmg more serious
such as Pneumonia or Consumption.
True there are hundreds yes thou-

tively harmful due to the narcotics
'which they contain. But *h> ex-

PAIN IN ba<;k miserable all over
Dear Mr. Editor:
All last winter I suffered from a
terrible pain in my back. I felt mis-
erable all over and could not walk
but a short distance. Was unable
to work and did not sleep well at
night as I was obliged to arise fre-
quently. I learned of Dr. Pierce's
Anuric. that cures such troubles
and sent to him for a trial package.
This relieved me of getting up at
night in a short time and I have
gained considerable. I am better
now than 1 have oeen for some time;
sleep better have less rheumatism
and do quite a lot of work for a wo-
man of my age. I had brick dust set-
tlings in my water before using
“Anuric” now there is none.
Kindly print this letter it may
help some one else who suffers as I
did. or worse.
(Signed) Mrs. Ella A. Garrison.
