SLOAN TAYLOR.
Young Man's Opportunity.
Tnero are frotn twelve to four-
teen million bales of cotton rais
ed annualjv. Every bale has to
be classed from one to four times,
seldom by the same man twice.
Until the last five years, there
has been no training schools in
this line, consequently the supply
of men for this work is limited.
Thousands of warehouses are
being erected in this country and
every warehouse requires two or
three men to handle the cotton.
The Commissioner of Market
ami Warehouse Department has
appointed a Board of Examiner*
to examine applicants for liccnsc
as Public Cotton Classers. Mr.
L. K. Dowd, Chairman of th
[State Boawi of ttxumlnera, to a
good note of our cotton depart-
ment. To those passing a licemrti
is issued to engage id the busi-
ness of Public Cottou Classing:
and to charge for bis service*:
These examiuatious are open trt
both men and women. Practi-
cally every town and village
where cotton is sold will employ
one or more licensed ftottoti
classers.
Aaron Sapiro, organizer for th«
National Marketiug Association,
says that between 10 and 15 p*r
cent of the entire cotton crop is
lost to farmers on account of id-
correct grading. It is tbe pur-
pose of tbe Association to barn
competent Cotton CI ameers id
grade cotton for all farmera be-
longing to this Association
This statemeut from ouewbo ia
in a position to know, shows two
things; first, that the mau who
raises cotton should be able to
class it, to be able to protect
himself from loss, and, second,
that there is a wide and growing
field of employment for compe-
tent cotton men.
Cotton is the leading product
of the South and will coutiuue
to be. Every young man of the
South should know theclassittca-
tiou and haudling of cotton.
More money is lost each year by
the farmers on the marketing ol
this product than all othercrop
combined. The man raising it
often knows nothing about mar-
keting it and is therefore wholly
at the uiercy of tbe men buying.
The facts are, we lost t housanda
of dollars each year for ther lack
of trained men.
The young man and wmnati
trained iu the Cottou Clttesing
Department of Tyler Commercial
College, Tyler, Texas, i-< in a much
better position to take one of
these many positions th t ore
opening up, or to protect hisowu
interests as a grower, than onw
that has no training, or a train-
fng by guens. In four weeks'
time we can prepare you to eove
this year more than double tin
cost of your learning, or be ready
to pass the state cotton claaseai
examination to b^ held in our
cotton department about Aug.
1st, which will enable you, if yoil
pass the Cotton Cia'ssw-s Exami-
nation to be eligible for a good
position for tin- Fall cotton
crops. Special ratph are now oa
until tbe examination.
We have equipped our depart-
ment so that the most efficient
teaching possible may be done.
Our teachers nndefstand classing
stapling and selling from a prac-
ticul standpoint, aud, are ex-
ports in the training of atudauta.
The head of this department iff
constantly in touch with the
Agricultural Department at
Washington, D. c., and at Aus-
tin, Texas, from whom we mi;
the Government fFypes. TV*<idr«f
these, we purchase samples iti
quantities of three or four thou-
sand.
