the farmers will be per cent more

The reason for this extraordinary

SAYS j. s. LEAD IN
COTTON IS TAGGING
Georgia Expert Urges Farmers to
Use Improved Method of Bal
ing and Caring for Staple.

Declaring the supremacy OF Ameri-
ca in cotton production is in danger
because Of improper methods Of bal
ing and caring for the staple, T. H.
Kimbrough, Of Cataula, Ga former
member Of the legislative committee
of the Farmers Union. has issued a
letter to Southern farmers, pleading
for reforms.
This loss of supremacy in cotton
growing" Mr.. Kimbrough said. may
not appear probable for several years,
but looks possible when we remem-
be- that only a few years ago we
produced So per cent OF the cotton
of the world, and now we produce
only 70 per cent.
"If we would hold our own and
m AXE any progress, there are i'm
. rovements and many changes that
must be made.
Our cotton should be gathered
when dry, housed and protected until
ready for the gin. The gin roll should
be run out sufficiently close when
changing on bales to prevent a mix
ture of grades, and avoid false packs,
which can be done if honestly pre-
pared and properly looked after by
the gin man.
Your cotton should be baled in a
standard press box CnOt over 81 oy
90. using a good grade Of bagging
of sufficient width, weight and
strength; also secured at the ends
with good Irvine, to protect it IN
transit, and so far as possible the
bales should be Of uniform weight,
never less than 400 pounds nor more
than 500 pounds"
