A NEW KIND OF COTTON
IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE THE
WELD A HUNDRED PER CENT.
The Department of Agriculture Hopes
10 Accomplish This. Cotton SEED
Products and Their Profits.

10 Accomplish This. Cotton SEED
Products and Their Profits.
AS a result of an extensive series OF
experiments during a number of years
the department of agriculture at
Washington has succeeded in produc-
ing a variety of new breeds OF cotton
seed that will grow a grade of cotton
with a fiber from a half to three-quar-
ters of an inch longer than that form
erly grown. This result of these eX-
periments has been mentioned IN the
dispatches. During its experiments IN
this line of work the department has
handled thousands of plants IN max
ing the selections that are now cOnsld-
cred of good enough quality to be sent
out as new fixed types. The seeds were
developed from the upland cotton and
will be sent to the planters in the
southern states for experimental pur-
poses.
The department believes that if the
cotton Of long fiber can be brought in
to general use it will mean an output
double in value of that of the present
growth. They say that on account OF
the use of these new breeds cotton
will advance in value during the next
few years far above the present prices.
The department of agriculture is anX-
iOus to see the yield per acre of cotton
doubled, and say that if the planters
will join with them in this move the
cotton crop of the United States can
be greatly increased without planting
a single additional acre.
Cotton Seed Production

bureau covering the year 1904 shows
that the production of cotton seed was
as follows: Cotton seed products,
seed crushed, 1882, $40 tons; oil crude,
133.Sl7,772 gallons; meal and cake,

Wants His Citizenship Revoked.

Mr.. Otto Heggen of Iowa wants his
naturalization as a citizen of the
United States revoked. His reason
seems to be that since the democratic
party has gone out of business in
Iowa the republicans are not offering
enough for votes to make it worth a
mans while to vote.

 Instead of yelling for the police and giving the burglar an opportunity t0 get away with his booty, Miss Evelyn went to her room and picked up pa overweight made i'll the form of q ps- tcl.
