An E.pheneral
Party

The Washington Post. an IN
dependent journal indicates the
hopelessness Of the Progressive
movement in the following
editorials:
Now that Senator La Follette,
Wisconsin. has made his choice
etween the epublican and Pro
ressive parties, Senator Poin-
-rter. of Washington, finds

need that they will work hence
forth within the Republican
fold. The Progressive party
strength in the Senate has dwin-
died to one or two men. and in
the House to a mere handful.
Senator La Toilette probably
was the pioneer Progressive.
HIS was voice in the wilderness
ten or twelve years ago. In the
national campaign of 1912 he
made no definite choice between
the Republican and Progressive
organizations, fighting against
Mr.. Taft as we'll AS Col. Roose
welt,
The factional quarrel. in Sena-
tor La Follette's view, is now
over. and "wherever there have
been recent party registrations
or recent elections. with scarcely
a single exception the evidence
has been unmistakable that the
third-party vote was. transit

When Senator Bristow. of
Kansas, aHaounsed that he
would run as regular Republi.
can candidate to succeed him
self. the sign of the times was
unmistskable. No better evid-
ence could have been presented
to show that the days of the
third party were over.
Senator Cummins, of Iowa,
and Senatof Borah. of Idaho,
two more OF the original group OF
Progressives, have remained
loyal to the Republican party.
and the leadership of the third
party has been impaired all
along the line. Even such
workers as Comptroller Prend-
ergast. OF New York. have an
nounced that they feel the third
party has been lost, and that the
only hope of the opponents OF
the Democratic party lies in a
reunited Republican party.
Former officehulders, who no
longer have any hope OF obtain
ing reward in the Republican
party. may make a valiant effort
to keep the third party organiz
alton alive, but when men like
Senator La Toilette announce
that they will work henceiorth
with the Republican party, the
death knell of the party of pro
test has been sounded.

America. These facts are brought
out in the department of agricul-
ture's new bulletin, THE Relation
of Cotton Buying to Cotton Grow
ing"
Formerly manufacturers have COM
planned that the supply of long-sta-
iple cotton was inadequate and un-
certain, says the bulletin. The boil
weevil was supposed to have made
| II almost impossible to grow long
staple varieties, but this danger has
heen overcome. New early-maturfng
varieties of long staple cotton have
been developed Improved methods
of culture have made it possible TO
produce good crops of this cotton
in many parts of the United States'
despite the presence of the Doll
weevil. Natural conditions favor
its production, and almost unlimlt-
ed supplies may be grown if the
farmers will only be encouraged TO
take more care in maintaining their
cotton at a high standard.
The manufacturers who use the
long-staple cotton have the key to
the problem. More general plant
ing Of long staple cottons cannot
he advised until marketing condi-
tons are. improved. The depart
lment of agricultures advice TO
farmers regarding precautions nee
essary to maintain the purity and
uniformity of their cotton is OF
little value unless they can obtain
a better market price by observing
these precautions. The present ten
dency to buy long staple cotton at
fiat prices like short staple cotton
discourages the farmer from taki'ls
greater care. On the other hand, i
encourages carelessness and tenden-
cies that lead to the loss of uni
formity of fiber and degeneration
Of varieties.
Inspection of the cotton in the
field affords a much better basis Of
Judgment regarding .he essential
quality of uniformity than the pres
ent method of pulling samples from
the bales. Field inspection should
precede warehouse grading, espec'
ially with long-staple cottons. ra'
miliarity with a variety OF cottoI
makes it possible to recognize mncl
: smaller percentages Of admixtur'
or degeneration than can be detect
ed in the bale, thus affordlnS
greater degree of protection to tn

precautions that are required to pro-
feet the cotton against the weeyll
make it possible to produce bet
ter staple. Thus the growing or
long staple cotton, to sell at
higher price, may be considered as
meaQs of securing a return for
the increased cost of production OF
the diminished yield that may be
caused by the boil weevil.
That the present system of buy
ing is seriously defective is now
widely recognized, and radical re-
forms are being sought through leg
islation and otherwise. But 1t Is
highly desirable that reforms in the
commercial world be considered IL
their relation to the improvement
of the quality of the crop and not
merely to secure higher prices for
inferior cotton. There is no pros
pect that such prices can be main
tained by any action that may be
taken in the United States. The
only secure basis for our cotton
industry is in the improvement o
the product. Otherwise, we remain
exposed to the danger OF foreign
competition 1t is much more i'm
portant to improve the quality %
our cotton crop than to secure hlsh
prices without sucn improvement
since high prices for inferior cot
ton will only stimulate the rapidly
increasing production Of low gra1e
cotton in other parts of the world.
Commercial Causes of Deterioration
The manufacturing world, IN Eu-
rope as well as in the United STATES
seems to be unanimous in the opin-
ion that the cotton crop has deter
iorated in recent decades. The same
complaint is made regarding AL or
the principal types of cotton-np
land short staples, long staples,
Egyptian, and Sea Island. While di-
rect evidence on the fact of deter
ioration is not easy to obtain, tnere
is circumstantial support for the
idea that deterioration has taken
place. for the system of buylng has
allowed changes that would natur-
ally tend toward a decline in the
quality of the crop. The necessary
precautions of selection and fol
avoiding admiXture of seed nave
been relaxed, and even planting o.
inferior varieties has been encour'
, aged.
The general disregard of the es
sential qualities of length, strength
and higher grade on the part o
BUYERS has had the natural ehec

planting of such varieties as long
as the farmer can sell three quar-
ter-inch cotton for as much as inch
cotton or even inch and an eighth
cotton. The popularity OF these
short-l Tinted varieties is q result OF
the present system of buying. IN
former decades, when the quality OF
the fiber was considered, nobody
would have thought of growing such
cotton or of breeding such varieties.
In addition to their inferior lint, the
high percentage varieties usually
have smaller seeds and weaker seed
lings, very undesirable character
frcm the agricultural standpoint. II
| is easier to secure higher percent
ages by selecting variations toward
small seeds than TO increase the
amount of lint on the seeds.
