Some OF US are very careful when
picking or having it picked, no wet cot
ton or trash allowed. others do DOT care.
and We do not like to have gined cut,
trashy and stained cotton mixed in a
nice clean bale. Now the only remedy
I see is for every farmer to request his
giner TO leave no roll in the gins, then
every man will get his own cotton and
seed. l have often been compelled TO
take from s. so to SIS 90 bale less on
account of bad cotton getting in the bale
from the wagon just ahead of me at the
gin, besides the trouble to save seed TO
plant or sell especially if it is blight
proof.
I see the cotton mills are going to pay
great deal less for long staple if there
is any short staple 10 the bale, be there
ever so little, and also if there is any
long staple in the short staple bale, ii
gives lots of trouble when it is spun.

INVESTING YOUR MONEY.
II Is Not Wise Plan to Put All Your
Eaas In One Basket.

1t Is Not Wise HIan TO Fu1 All fooT
Eggs In One Basket.
The late Marshall Field once said
that if he could be right 81 per cent OF
the time he was satisfied. He was
talking OF investments, and the Field
estate at the time of his death totaled
some $43.0O0,000.
Shrewd as Russell Sage was. his ex-
ecutors found many worthless stocks
in his vaults, although they found
plenty of others that were not worth
less
The Sages and the Fields long ago
adopted the plan Of the insurance COM
panies and the banks, says Invest
ments. The one point in it that should
be dinned into our ears thoroughly is
that wide distribution is both wise
and necessary.
No matter how small the sum, 1t
should not ell be invested in any one
thing. No single venture Of whatever
nature can be relied upon to remain
constant and unchanged. Securities
are live things because the enterprises
they represent are alive.
