The ways Of the Maker seem dark
to US when a young life so full of
promise is suddenly ended, but If we
question why? no answe comes. That
is left for the future to reveal. We
have only to walk in faith, believing
that someday the loved and parted
will meet and then we shall under
stand. To those with aching hearts
the LEADER extends sympathy.

A Brief Description Of Cotton
What it is-How it is Grown

Cotton is d white, downy fibre consisting of
delicate, tubular hairs fattened and somewhat
twisted. OF all the materials which man converts
into apparel, the most extensively used is cotton.
1t was the first vegetable fibre to be used in the
making OF clothes, and it's history is shrouded in
the mists of antiquity.
The cotton seed is sown in ridges, paralleled
by burrows for draining. The plants are thinned
out, as they grow, and the ground is gone over
with a hoe and cultivator as many as five times a
season. The bloom appears when the plant is
eight weeks old, and in Six weeks more the boil
bursts open.
All cotton is picked by hand, the southern ne
groes being best adapted to this work by habit
and nature. After being gathered, the cotton is
run through a gin which removes the mvriads of
seeds from the fibre. The cotton is then baled.
and shipped to the mills.
Cotton weaving is accomplished by the most
intricate machines that human ingenuity has de-
vlsed. The looms are marvelS OF mechanism max
ing possible the production of vast quantities of
cotton at comparatively slight cost.
