and full power to control every situa-

where in the generally accepted sense
The German Emperor is present
throughout his empire. in the sense
that he has Geographic and telephone
communication with all parts Of that
Empire and he has agents and repre-
sentatives In every part to execute his
will But this is the only sense In
which the German Emperor can be
present at the same time in all parts
Of his Empire. Why? Because he Is
a person, and person can not be In
more than one place at one time. God,
the Emperor Of the Universe, has pow

California
Fights Utah

That the embargo placed upon
Utah alfalfa seed by some OF the
other states is doing great injustice
to Utah and is causing considerable
financial loss Is made apparent in
the action OF business men OF Price,
which is a market for such seed from
several eastern Utah counties. Cali
fornia, it is stated in this connection
has not only placed an embargo on
Utah seed, but has sent out advice
to other states urging that similar
action be taken.
Since California growers also pro-
duce alfalfa seed, it is more than pro-
able that the action OF that state is
not entirely from disinterested mo-
tives. They want not only to shut
Utah seed out OF their home market
but also to restrict the supply in out
side markets, to the peccuniary benz
fit OF Californians. For many years
the Utah alfalfa seed has been able
to sell at a premium on account OF
its superiority. and this may have i'm
PEELED the Californians to get busy.
1t addition to this fact, local seed
dealer is authority for the statement
that California has had the weevel
present in its own fields for several
years in CERTAIN districts. That state
however has kept quiet about it, &C
cording to the merchant.
Scientists point out that the alfalfa
weevl cannot possibly be carried on
seed, though it can be carried on
trains and in other manners. And il
California really were consistent, it
should attempt to prevent the entry
into California of any trains passing
through Utah.

Grades Are Standardized.

The Department Of Agriculture has
succeeded in getting cotton grades
standardized by the. United States
This is the first time IN the history OF
cotton that there has been such q
thing as q standard grade. These
grade samples are made up In sets and
sealed up in glass tubes from which
the air has been extracted SO that
they will keep without deterioratang
They have been officially accepted by Ell
the cotton exchanges OF the United
tates except that Of New York. and
they are being unof11cially used there.
though the official acceptance has not
yet been signifled. The department
has sent out sets Of these standard
grades to cotton growing communities.
There are now 149 sets Of the cotton
standards distributed over the cotton
belt and they are saving the grower
an immense amount in fixing prices
with the buyers. ~
But the color and cleanliness OF cot
ton are not. the only points on which q
+, price is paid. The department., after
much work, has figured out a method
Of measuring and averaging accurately
the length OF the cotton fiber. It -is
also finding out by experiment in the
department whether and how much
this fiber Is injured by the cotton gin
WIN en- tho farmer sends It to be bAled.
OF course, the ginner is anxious to gin
WOW
time, and the department has been
trying to find by practical experiment
how fast the gin can be run without
injuring the fiber.
mined the department has to educate
the cotton-growing communities to be
careful of their output SO that the buy
err will accept it on the strength Of its
brand instead OF cutting it open to find
out what really Is inside. To this end
the department is trying to train the
planters in Community cotton grow
ing" SO that q brand from q certain
community will have fixed value In
the eyes of buyer.
True Of Indian and Egyptian Cotton.
This thing is true OF Indian and
Egyptian cotton, and is true, also. Of
tobacco. Sumatra tobacco put up in
100-pound bales is sold on the strength
of its brand in the Antwerp auction
room without ever having been opened
since it left the plantation.
One advantage Of community cotton
growing is that it keeps up the grade Of
the staple that is bred by the depart
ment and the seed sent out to the plant
ers. The Department has succeeded in
breeding a great deal Of high-grade cot
value to growers and spinners had the
standard been kept up, but in the hft-and-
miss methods Of individual planting. the
superior strain was soon lost, submerged
In crosses with inferior neighbors. With
community growing there will be q bet
ter chance to keep the staple up to the
high standard. When the buyers get to
know that the cotton under the brand
of certain community Is always up to
a certain standard they, will willingly
bid several cents q pound more for It
on the strength Of the brand alone.
These are the facts that the depart
ment is trying to make the growers SEQ.
and 1t Is working to so standardize the
American cotton bale that 1t will be ac-
copied on the strength Of its brand alone
in the markets Of the world.

Plan to Standardize Crop.
BIG. SAVING TO GROWERS
Secretary Knox Interested in Having
American Product Accepted at
Brand Valuation.

Between $2O,O00,OO0 and 900 q
year can be saved to the cotton growers
OF the United States by standardidng
American cotton SO that. it will be &C.
cepted at its brand valuation In the
world markets. This is the statement Of
the Department of Agriculture, and this
is the end to which it is working, deal
ing on the one hand with the foreign
buyers through the State Department,
and on the other hand with the cotton
growers individually and through the
cotton exchanges.
The question is being handled by Sec
rotary Knox, who has been trying to
figure out why American cotton is dis
eliminated against by foreign buyers.
Secretary Knox in turn is being urged
by the southern congressman to further
exertions, and the Department of Agri-
culture, knowing the root Of the trouble.
is trying to inform the State Department
and educate the cotton planters at the
same time.
The most obvious cause for complaint
is the excessive "tare'' charged against
American cotton by the buyers. The
"tare" is the weight deducted from the
nominal weight of the cotton bale to
make up for the waste weight of the
bagging used to wrap the bale and the
iron cotton ties used to hold the bale
together. The foreign buyer figures this
''tare" arbitrarily at about & per cent,
and the grower, knowing he is going to
be charged this much, sticks on all the
dead weight he can to make sure ne
does not get the worst of it in the deal.
No Standard for Bale.
Dr. B. T. Galloway, chief Of the bureau
of plant industry, in talking over the
matter. said the whole trouble was due
to the fact that there was no standard
for the American cotton bale, and so 1t
could not be accepted at its face value in
the markets Of the world. The Depart
ment of Agriculture has been working
for a long time on the problem OF stand
bale as standard as the Egyptian or the
Indian bale. 1t Is said. however, that
it will take a long time to educate the
cotton-growing communities to the neces-
sity for standard bale and longer to
make the foreign buyer understand that
the American bale is really just what 1t
purp0rts to be.
AS the case now stands, American
cotton is raised and baled and sent to
the local market where 1t is sold. The
sample. He decides by guess what
the grade is and pays for 1t accordingly
and just as little as he can. Then he
puts on as heavy a patch as he can
to cover the cut and the bale IL shipped
and sold again. the new buyer cutting
ing it again with as heavy material
as possible before he sells 1t. The re-
suit Is that American consuls abroad
report to the State Department that
American cotton bales come to their
destination ragged. dirty and torn. and
charged against a 5O0-pound bale.
