the department OF agriculture.

a standpoint Of the timber supply Dr
Mulford has heen making q study Of
trees best adapted for streets and cit

interested than he in what Arbor Day
signifies or how trees should be

There mas been considerable com
plaint on the part of the members of
our exchange this season as to the
deficiency in staple cotton said TO
have been grown from seed known as
Half and Halfs One Of our mem
bers submitted to the Liverpool cotton
association sample OF cotton said to
have been grown from this seed ana
asked for their opinion oil same. The
following reply was received, dated
/ December II, 1913:
One OF the members of this asso-
citation has submitted to the directors
a sample Of cotton which it was stated
has been grown in Oklahoma from
seed known as Half and Half
This sample was submitted to the
American appeal committee, and nv
directors wish TO inform you that in
the opinion Of the appeal COMMITTEES
the sample would not be tenderable
against any contract for American cot
ton owing to the deficiency in staple.
My directors think it only right
that you should have an opportunity
OF warning farmers. etc, in your state
against growing cotton from this kind
Of seed. as cotton similar to the sam +
pie submitted is quite unsuitable to
the needs OF the Lancashire spinner.
tSigned) Louis Cappel. President.
In view Of the above, the directors
Of our exchange have come to the
conclusion that it will be necessary to
Incorporate in the purchase contract
e be used by the members OF this ex-
change, for the season i914.15. a clause
permitting the rejection OF all cotton. f
the staple Of which falls under three
quarters OF an inch in length. Under
such a clause the cotton which we
have seen Grown from HALF and Hair
seed, would be rejected.
In view Of this situation we feel that
i is due the farmers. ginneFs, and all
- ~~4 ~ SttC 81 wv itib anu tidIlnIinH IN
OF cotton, that this advice should be
given them at this time in order to
put them on notice that cotton, the
staple Of which is less than three
fourths Of an inch long, will not be ac-
cepted on our contract, and win have
to be sold on its merits. which will
prove to he sc per pound or
more less than the value OF the usual
Oklahoma staple.
There has been noticeable deter
iolation in the quality of Oklahoma
grown cotton in the last few years.
Our cotton does not now command the
same premium that it once brought
we fear this condition may be due to
a gradual deterioration in seed and we
trust that every one Interested in the
cotton trade will use their best en-
ieavors to encourage the planting Of
the best seed obtainable 10 the end

appeal that all who wished their
