CAST, recently deposed lightweight
champion, and his manager, Tom Jones,
lost nearly $4,000 on the Flynn-McCarty
fight.
The lightweight and his manager
made several trips to McCarty's train
ing quarters before the day of the fight
to size up the stranger, and on each oe-
casion the young MissOurian was in
structed by his manager to box like a
dub according to friends of McCarty.

So cleverly did the 20 year old giant
play his part that WOlgast gave out a
statement before the fight to the ef-
feet that McCarty did not even know
how to hold his hands, to say nothing
of boxing, and predicted an easy vic
tory for the Pueblo fireman.

Island planters keep up their strain

cotton to be planted on the islands
The Department OF Agriculture has
felt for a long time that while II was
not possible to grow Sea Island Gotten

was possible to greatly improve the
local cotton, and, what was equally
important, to develop a local type SO
that spinners and mill mel would
know just what to expect from the
stock grown in a particular locality.
Another work that is now progress
ing and that promises to be of great
use to the planter Is the grading OF
cotton not only on its color and length
of staple. but on its strength and spin
ming qualities. Experiments on the
milling qualities of various types have
been carried on for some seasons by
the department in cooperation with
the principal cotton mills. The work
is approaching a point where a good
deal can be told in advance of the way
cotton will behave in the mill. When
this information can be added to the
color and fiber length Of a certain type
1t will do a great deal to settle the
value Of this type and will make the
community brand" of cotton a mat
ter of even greater Importance as a
guide among the buyers of the world

Cooperation work In cotton growing
this year by the Department Of Agri.
culture. The work is under the gen.
eral direction Of Prof. B. T. Galloway,
chief of the bureau Of plant industry,
but there are hundreds Of demonstra-
tors working among the cotton plant
ers.
One of the aims Of the work is to
introduce community cotton growing.
This simply mean that a larger or
smaller community Of growers will
work together and raise but a single
type OF cotton. excluding all other
types, 80 that there will be no chance
for accidental hybridization. When
the type Of cotton best adapted for
any one community is settled. 1t will
be ginned and baled and sold under
the community brand, and the cotton
buyer, whether he is in Liverpool or
New York OF Tokyo. will know from
the community brand just what to ex.
pect in the bale. ~"
This method of standardizing cot
ton has been followed In Egypt and
parts Of India for years. The cotton
from these localities Is considered
among buyers as standard. and they
are willing to buy On the strength OF
the label without tearing open and
sampling the bale. This insures the
bale getting to market in the best
possible condition. and eliminates the
problem Of ~,"tare." which is the
amount of weight arbitrarily deduced

HOUSEHOLD RUTS.

The housekeeping rut that is deep
enough to engulf many an otherwise
successful household, is monotony in
menu making. The same old thing IN
the same old way Is repeated until
appetite is gone and one loses all in

Is mother, cook, nurse and general
manager, there is still greater need
to meet conditions with a trained
mind.

bureaus is indicated below:
Locations. Employees

The large number Of locations In
the south Atlantic and south central
states is due principally to the farm
ers' cooperation demonstration work.
the appropriation for which was made
to the bureau of plant industry for
the purpose Of combating the cotton
boil weevil. OF a total Of 9O4 loca-
lions with 1873 employees in these
sixteen states, 644 locations with ap-
proximately $50 employees are charged
to demonstration work, leaving a bal
ance Of 260 locations with 969 en-
ployes assigned to other lines of activ.
ity. These demonstration farms are
conducted in the southern states to
illustrate methods of growing cotton
despite the weevil, and to educate
the farmers in crop diversihcation.
Other plant industry stations consist
of testing gardens, experiment farms,
dry land experiment farms, reclama-
ton projects and grain standardlza-
ton laboratories.
The number Of locations with the
relatively large number OF employees
In the far west Is due principally to
the forest service organization. The
six field districts OF this service are
in the west with the principal admin
istrative offices and office and field
employees located in each district.
The bureau OF animal industry
maintains a considerable force OF in
~spectors at each OF the principal
slaughter centers. such as Chicago.
Kansas City, South Omaha. Philadel-
phia, New York, etc, in carrying out
the provisions OF the meat inspection
