GROWERS OF LONG STAPLE COT
TON.

Hold Meeting in Charlotte and Dis
cuss Cotton Situation and the 40
visibility of Growing the Long
Staple.
A meeting of the long staple cot
ton growers of Mecklenburg County
was held in the courthouse in Char
lotte Saturday. Many farmers were
present to. discuss the cotton situa-
ton and the advisability of the pro-
duction Of long staple cotton Of the
South.
The Charlotte Observer gives the
following report of the meeting:
"Mr. R. o. Alexander, a we'll
known cotton merchant and a man
posted on the cotton conditions and
situations throughout the United
States made helpful address. Mr..
Alexander stated that the long staple
cotton in this latitude is artificial, as
it's home is in the low, fiat and allu-
vial sections of Georgia, Florida and
the Mississippi Delta sections of the
country. In order to raise the long
staple successfully in Mecklenburg,
the farmers must exercise the great
est intelligence. The fact that the
farmers in North Carolina use splen-
did Judgment and take care of their
! crops while they are making cotton
! is shown in the Government statis-
| tics for the South, which gives North
| Carolina more cotton per acre than
any other State in the cotton section.
AS the farmers have the intelligence,
they can put it to use by raising the
| long staple cotton.
| Mr.. Alexander gave them to I'M
derstand that no harum-scarum farm
er can raise long staple cotton in
this latitude. There are several main
points which govern the successful
growing of the long staple cotton
here. One must carefully select his
seed. To make a careful selection,
one must go into the fields and select
l a healthful, well-matured stalk with
splendid bolls to gather the seeds
from. A farmer must not plant at
random from any piles of so-called
long staple cotton, but it must be Sc
lected as above and each year. He
said that if this rule is not complied
with the staple runs down, which
: means a waste of time and money
, for there is no market for the short
cotton of the long staple variety.
I'm order to obtain the best re
suits, the cotton must be ginnet
slowly, for if it is rushed through the
gin, the cotton will be gin-cut. The
gin-cut cotton loses price premium
