PROTECT FARMERS
ON COTTON GRADES
Senator Smiths Plan Claimed
to Save Millions to
Producers
nv ". r..

WASHINGTON. u. c., May 23.-Onl-
Gals of the Department of Agriculture
estimate that with the sum OF Sl0O,-
600 they can furnish 4.0O0 full sets OF
samples of official government grades
Of cotton. together with 1000 sets OF
and u~nbleached yarns made
from these various government grades
These sets will be sufficient to furnish
every primary market in the South
with samples of cotton and yarns.
Senator Ellison ID. Smith, of South
Carolina, had an appropriation OF
$780, 600 incorporated in the Senate
committees report on the agricultural
appropriation for this specific pur-
pose, and expects the item to pass the
senate and to be accepted by the
House conferences on the Dill. lie
wants those who sell cotton to be able
to compare their cotton with sample
of government grades right IN front
Of them. He says that because a BUY
er calls a bale Of cotton good ordl-
nary that in itself is lot necessarily
proof that the cotton is that parti-
cular grade.
Astonishing Facts Shown.

astonishing facts. On the card are
samples of bleached and u~nbleached
cotton yarns, spun under exactly the
same conditions in tests made by the
Department Of Agriculture. The yarns
are made from four grades of cotton,
ranging from good middling to good
ordinary. Between these two grades
there is a difference in market price
in raw cotton of s35 a bale. The diff
ference in the yarns produced from
these grades is so slight that an x
pert cannot distinguish between them
The yarns look exactly alike and are
practically equal in strength, as spin.
ming tests show.
Il don't ask you to take my wore
for it. This is the government:

East Side Boxers Strength

Victory Over Quaker.
BIZ Join, Pollock.

IN one Of the best lightweight bout.
seen in this city since Leach
Cross and Willie Richie put w
their slashing en-round bout In
Madison Square Garden late last
ear, Young Brown OF the east side
defeated Pal Moore Of Philadelphia In
Browns Far Rockaway Club last
night.
So exciting was the milling that
most OF the time the big crowd OF
spsctators were either standing OH
their chairs or In the aisles cheering
wildly. Brown had the better OF the
contest because u his superior
strength. He was much the frcsher
at the finish.
The frst few rounds were fairly
even. Brown rushing Moore from one
end of the ring to the other. Moore
meeting his attack with left jabs 10
the face and hight hooks to the body.
The terrific pace which Brown car
ried his opponent started to tell on
the Quaker about the seventh round
and he was a very tired boxer In the
last three rounds. Moore did a lot of
covering IN to avoid the solid
smashes that the east slider let drive
for his head and body.
This was tho second meeting be-
tween those boxers. they having met
recently up In Rochester. So exciting
was the bout last night that II would
not be surprising II some match
maker booked them for another bout
here.

tho great golf Ouimet has displayed
during tho last two weeks. Only a
few days ago he went around the
BrooJxlins course In 6s, a new record.
II has been apparent recently that
ouimet has been able to shake on
the Ill effects Of his disappointing trip
to England and has concentrated his
mind on retaining bis national title.
With the possible exception of Mac
donald Smith It 10 almost certain
that there isn't a professional in this
country who ebuld stop Ouimet II ne
plays the Same golf at Midlothian
that he did In the Brookline tourna-
ment.
But the Boston star won't know the
Western course like he knew every
little bunker and trap on the Brook
line links. This will prove q big
handicap for him. To overcome this
disadvantage many of the paid play
ers have been practising at Midlo-
THAN for the past week.
From the list OF pros" 1t seems GER
tain that Macdonald Smith OF Oak
mont stands the best chance of reliev-
ing Ouimet OF his title. Macdonald.
coming from the celebrated golflng
family OF SMITHS. created a new
worlds record for 72 holes with 27S
strokes when he won the metropolitan
championship at Scarsdale last week
1t was Macdonald Smith who tied Ed
ward Rays round Of 10 at Brool,line
last year. The young Oakmont pro-
will undoubtedly be favorlte for the
Midlothian meet.
Ouimet will also encounter stiff op-
position from John J. McDermott.
who was champion In 1911 and 1913;
Mike Brady, who tied for tho title In
1911, and large number OF other
prominent professionals.
