Loug Staple Cotton.

An effort is being made by the de-
partment Of agriculture to encourage
the growth Of long staple cotton and
to this end seed have been furnished
to 1900 farmers in the State. The
growth Of long staple cotton means a
great saving in freight rates, both to
the producer and the manufacturer.
The textile plants of the State are de-
sirous that the farmers discard the
short staple for the long staple cotton.
Commissioner Watson and Ira W.
Williams, State agent for the United
States farm demonstration work in
this State, have been urging for some
time the growth of the long staple and
are using every means of interesting
the farmers.

outrageous rough,
Ane altogether too much rain, er not
half rain enough!
Now what I'd like and what you'd like

It's jest to have old Proveddence drop

And ast US what our views is first, re-

And spend my extry.s time in praise
