Prevention of tuberculosis versus

The Metropolitan Life recently ap-
piled for permission to erect sana-
torium for its policy holders and en-
ployes afflicted with tuberculosis, but
the application was refused on grounds
of illegality by New York State Super
intendent of Insurance Hotchkiss. The
company is. however, conducting an
active educational campaign by dis
tributing 3.50O.O00 pamphlets among
its policy holders. The Provident
Savings Life Assurance society has
also established a health bureau,
where its policy holders may receive
free medical advice. Several fraternal

JUTE, IRON AND LINTERS SHOULD
NOT BE FIGURED AS LINT
COTTON.

All the tabu!ated statistics relative
to the size Of the 1908 cotton crop
state the yield was 13.5S7.306 bales
Of 500 pounds weight, when closer
look into the matter brings TO light
a shortage from those figures of l.
1876 bales making the crop of lint
cotton produced in 1908 equal to L.
672,144 bales, each weighing soc
pounds.
In the interest of fairness it seems
we'll within the province of justice
that these figures be made plain to
the general public instead Of creating
the impression with producer and con-
sumner alike that more lint cotton is
available for spinning than actually
exists.
Cotton is sold gross weight. the
bagging and ties on square bales are
estimated to average p pounds per
bale on round bales pounds and 10
pounds on sea island cotton bales.
Thus there is figured into our cotton
yield 292, ,442,135 pounds of jute and
iron, and the Inter crop for 1908
amounted to 165.13S62S pounds. or
345,507 bales Of 500 pounds each. The
size Of the Inter crop has materially
increased during the past few years,
because more seed is being treated
each year, and the reginning is being
done in a much more careful manner.
resulting in a much greater yield and
a poorer fiber. Five or six years
ago 200, 900 bales was a big crop and
the price was about tWO-fifths Of mid
ding cotton, while the 1908 crop
fetched about One-seventh, the price
Of middling, some selling for less than
one cen per pound.
With these facts understood it
seems reasonable that such figures
should be set forth in the plainest
possible terms by all statisticians and
most especially by the census bureau
experts, that is, these figures should
appear in the tabulated portion of the
census reports and bulletins. The
price Of lint cotton is substantially af-
fected by the presence absence Of
one million bales of lint cotton, or at
least would be if supply and demand
is permitted to govern.
The farmer and mechanic., 1909-07-27

The crop Of cotton produced during
duced and fell behind the yield Of
1906 by only s, 1872 bales weighing 500
pounds each. In the production of
the 1908 crop Texas, of course, ranks
first. producing 28.8 per cent Of the
total crop. Georgia was second with
146 per cent Of the grand total; Mis-
sissippi third, with 125 per cent; Ala
bama fourth, with 1O1 per cent;
South Carolina fifth, with S.S per
cent; Arkansas sixth, with rs per
cent; Oklahoma seventh, with So per
cent; North Carolina eighth, with 40
per cent; Louisiana ninth, with 3.6
per cent, and Florida eleventh., with
05 per cent
The average crop for the past few
years has been 12,6OS,555 bales
hence the 1908 crop exceeded that aT-
erage by 978,751 bales. In the
writer's opinion there has been pro-
duced several crops as great as that
of 1908, but the exceptional weather
of the fall months of that year per-
mitted all bol1s to open and allowed
all bolIs to be harvested The terri
tory west Of the Mississippi river
furnished nearly one-half of the 1903
crop, or 45.9 per cent, which is in
deed most remarkable when one takes
into consideration the vast areas de-
vastated by floods in Arkansas, Texas
and Oklahoma during the growing
period and the widespread fava45es
Of the boil weevil.

of men who watch the cotton world.
all ginning is not completed by Che
tenth Of March the day on which the
government closes it's cotton statistics
for the year past. hence the Bureau
of the Census makes an estimate Of
the cotton to be ginned and includes
this estimate in it's total of the year S
crop. The amount unginned March
10, 1909, was thus estimated at 54,511
bales of lint and 3S.767 bales Of
Iinters.
It is desir able that the farmer shall
have before him at all times all the
information touching cotton produc-
ton and cotton consumption that he
may be in position to know when to
sell his crop, thus escape the market
