EGYPTIAN COTTON GIN.
Official Test by the Agricultural
Department at Cuero, Tex.
Proves a Success and VIII Result in
More General Raising Of
Egyptian Cotton in
Texas.

An official roller gin test, conducted
under the direction of the office of
fiber Investigations of the department
Of agriculture at Cuero, Tex, upon
Texas-grown Egyptian cotton. has just
been concluded, with most successful
and gratifying results. For several
years culture experiments have been
carried on in Texas by Mr.. w. II. Went
worth, from the Egyptian seed distrib-
uted by the department, with view to
the production in this country of Egyp-
tian cotton.
A serious obstacle to success has been
the need of proper gin to separate
the seed from the lint, the ordinary
gin injuring the cotton to ruinous
degree, but this has been overcome by
a special form of gin.
The engineer expert states that the
cotton produced from the Egyptian
seed planted in Texas is stronger than
the native Egyptian, as is indicated by
the yield per hour in ginning. This
was 70 pounds per hour the first day
and 76 9-10 per hour the second day.
The manufacturers of the gin used
claimed only so pounds per hour for the
output of the native Egyptian. The
lint from this test will be examined and
further reported upon.
The imports of Egyptian cotton are
steadily increasing, and now amount in
value to over S5,OOO,OOO annually. With
the ginning question settled those who
are interested in the growth of Egyp-
tian cotton in Texas claim that prodmc-
ton in this country is assured.

Had Seen 1t All.

Ayoung fellow who drank much more
than was good for him was advised by
his friends to take the gold cure, but
he refused. But" protested his
friends, "your physician says that If
you keep on drinking you will surely
soon go blind. Now, the question is
simply this: Do you prefer being cured
of THE drink habit and retaining your
sight or do you prefer to keep on drink
ing and go blind?" The young man
paced the floor for some time and was
in brown study. Finally he turned to
his friends and, with resigned ex-
preston Of countenance, replied:
swell, guess I've seen about every
thing"

MAY RAISE FINE TOBACCO.
Secretary Wilson Believes Florida
Can Do Us Well as Cuba.

Secretary Wilson, of the agriculture
department., will leave Washington
shortly for a visit to the south, the OBJ
jective points being North and South
Carolina and Florida. Probably most
of his time will be spent in the latter
state, where Secretary Wilson wants
to look personally into the question of
the raising of high grade tobacco. He
believes the Florida country capable
of producing tobacco almost If not
equally up to that Of the finest raised
in Cuba and Sumatra. If this opinion
is borne out it may result in the pur-
chase and planting under government
supervision of foreign tobacco seed
with view to determining what may
be accomplished under careful cultiva-
tiCn.

BY what is known as the world pool the
powder manufacturers of the eastern
