Cotton,

While Congressman A. L. Lever.
of South Carolina, and Culberson, OF
Texas, are working to establish a
national standard for different grades
of cotton, we are pleased to note in
this connection that T. f. Alexander,
OF Walhalla, S. c., Is the first ex-
pert cotton grader from the cotton
school Of Clemson Agricultural
College to report to the farmers Of
this State for duty
When we consider the fact that it
was the movement of members Of
the Farmers Union that is behind
this cotton grading at Washington
and the cotton grading course at
Clemson, too, 1t is very encouraging 9
to the union to note the good results
growing out of farmers union work.
This working of the grading and
classifying OF cotto. at both ends Of
the business should remove all APP
portunity for rake off here by un-
scrupulous handlers between growers
and spinners.
If the extremely large movement
OF fertilizer 20 farmers at this time
three years ago bore down the price
of cotton then, why not the extreme
ly small amount OF fertilizers going
cut now raise the price of cotton to-
day? "Nuf sed."
