A New System of Cotton Culture

A New System OF Cotton Culture
A new system of cotton culture
which lessons the danger of in
jury from the boil weevil, has been
developed by the office in the bureau
of plant industry which is in charge
of cotton breeding. By this system
it has been made possible to con-
troll the formation of the branches
and shorten the season required Tor
the setting of the crop.
The formation of the branches is
controlled by an improved method
of thinning. BY leaving the plants
closer together during the early
stages the production of vegetable
branches is avoided and larger num-
bers of bolls are developed on the
lower fruiting branches Of the main
stalk of the plant.
This method of later and more
gradual thinning makes it possible
to leave more plants in the rows
than is now customary, and yet in
furious crowding is avoided because
the vegetable branches are sup
pressed, instead OF being allowed 30
grow up and smother the lower fruit
ing branches where the early flow
ers and bolls are produced.
Earlier planting is a means OF
securing larger yields in regions
where the period Of crop produc
ton is limited either by short sea
sons or by the presence of the boil
weevil Greatly increased yields
have been secured in this way, even
as high as 80 per cent.
The bureau of plant industry
will supply free to cotton growers
on application its circular which
describes this new system.

DISSEMINATED AGAINST,
new ORLEANS CHARGES
Files Complaint Against Thirty
Railroads in Cotton Rates
With I. C.. C.

Discrimination against New Orleans in
favor Of other southern and eastern ports
in fixing rates on cotton is charged
against thirty railroads, in a complaint
filed yesterday with the interstate COM
merce commission by the New Orleans
cotton exchange. The commission is
asked to meet in New Orleans at an early
date to investigate the charge.
Discrimination is accomplished, the
complaint sets out, through the failure
Of the carriers to publish through rates
to New Orleans from local cotton pro-
ducing points along their lines. although
such rates to Mobile, Pensacola, Will
mington. Norfolk, Baltimore, Philadel-
phia, New York and Boston are offered.
The result is that the rate to New
Orleans from any local point now is
made up of local rate to a junction
point plus the rate from that junction to
destination. This combination is alleged
to create rate discrimination in favor
of the other shipping points named.

RETRENCHMENT PLANNED
BY WATER DEPARTMENT
Income Last Year Fell $4,000 Be-
low Estimates, Leaving Only
$500 Balance.

This Is to be lean year with the
District water department. No ex-
tensive improvements of any charac--
ter are contemplated, and only neces-
sary extensions Of mains will be or
dered.
The departments income last year
from rents, assessments and other
sources fell $4,000 below the amount
estimated. leaving a balance after all
expenses had been met of only 5000. 1t
has been found necessary to adopt a
policy of retrenchment during the
present fiscal twelve months in order
to swell this balance to the point
where 1T will be possible to undertake
some big improvements next season.
New Pump to Cost 100000.
The principal Improvement planned
Is the installation of a new pump for
the third high service at a cost of ap-
proximately 100000.
Last year the department installed
10000 meters, which resulted in con-
siderably reducing its income from
water rents. Statistics compiled show
that returns on the meter accounts
averaged about $3.50 less per year than
those for the fiat-rate service.
In addition to the extensive meter
installations. other improvements I'M
dertaken last year which cut in on the
departments reserve fund were the
building Of the Anacostia pumping sta
ton. water towers in Good Hope, Con-
gress Heights and Randle Highlands,
and installation Of two electric cranes
in the storage yards.
This year only 5000 meters will be
installed. The estimated amount of
the departments income is $75O,000, or
$4,000 less than the amount estimated
for last year.

Mr. Jones pointed out that at present

to the Department of Justice. which. he
said, had conducted a rigid investiga-
ton. The committee has taken no &C.
