MACHINE To SAVE
LABOR INSTALLED
REMARKABLE DEVICE FOR
POSTING LEDGERS.

The Bank of Hattiesburg has just
added a remarkable machine to it's
equipment-a machine that posts ledg-
ers and makes out customers state
ments. There won't be any more
night work balancing pass books at
the end of each month for the bank
has done away with the old pass book
system and adopted the statement
system which the banks in the largest
cities are using.
People who are not acquainted with
the inside workings of bank will not
fully realize the great advantages of
machine work over hand work in
posting to the ledger. The big ad-
vantages of using the machine is the
saving in time and in the improve.
ment in the appearance and legibility
of the ledger sheet.
Heretofore the clerks when posting
to the ledger had to first make a list
of checks and then list of deposits
on each account, add each list sepa
rately and then subtract to get bal
ance. This is all accomplished in one
operation by the new machine.
One of the remarkable features OF
the machine IS that it automatically
detects and marks overdrafts with a
minus sign, When the checks exceed
the deposits no result can be printed
unless the lever is in the subtract
position
The machine automatically adds
the deposits to the old balance and
subtracts the checks as they are list
ed. The new balance is computed and
proved simply by taking 2 total.
The bank will save at least fifty PEI
cent in time by the machine method
Then too, there is no possibility of an
error as the machine cannot make q
mistake. The saving in this means
something to the patrons of the bank

Enforcement of the already excellent
service which the Ian 0 harrisburg
is now giving to it's patrons.
The statements are written entirely
on the machine which means absolute
accuracy and printed figures. The
big feature, of course, is that the Gus
toner will no longer have to wait for
his pass book TO be balanced.
Heretofore if customer wanted a
statement of his account in the middle
of the month, he would be compelled
to wait until the clerk went through
the ledger from the first of the month
made list of checks and deposits
listed each check and deposit and
added each check and deposit and
added each list and then subtract to
get a balance or an overdraft.
With the new adding-subtracti
machine in use the customers account
is balanced daily. Each day the state
ments are taken out of the binder, put
into the machine and checks and de
posts listed-a total taken and the
balance carried forward ready for the
next days posting. Now when a Gus
toner wants a statement at any time,
all the clerk has TO do is to go to the
ledger and take off the last figures
posted which will be a statement OF
the customers account right up-to-date.

in maintaining the uniformity of SUI
periOr variety of cotton is the mix
ture of seed in gins. A few farmers
have their own gins or small hand gins
for their seed cotton, and in some To-
calities ginning establishments are be-
ginning to provide small gins that are
kept clean for ginning seed cotton.
Some farmers take care to avoid the
mixture of seed by holding their seed
cotton until the end of the season,
when time can be taken to clean out

Isolation of seed Plants.

A farmer who wishes to make a
really adequate test of the value of
new variety should plant the seed in
separate plat, removed at least 300
yards from other fields of cotton or
separated therefrom by 25 or 80 rows
of corn. An isolated planting does
parison with the local variety, but this
can be made in the following year to
much better advantage. With the
larger stock of seed then available a
field planting can be made, as well as
test paintings In the third year there
will be enough seed to stock even a
large farm with the new variety, if it
has shown itself superior under the
local conditions.
The distribution of seed of superior
varieties of cotton is no longer limited
to a single season, as was the former
custom Unless improved varieties be-
come established in cultivation in
some part of the United States the
work of breeding and distribution
serves no useful purpose. To increase
the number of varieties in a communi-
ty is not desirable. On the contrary,
there would be distinct advantage
| in having the whole community grow
one variety, if the best variety for the
! pUrpcco could be determined. The
| danger of confusing varieties by cross
I ing and the mixture of seed at the gin
would thus be reduced, and the uni
formity of the product would also en-
! able the community to secure high
er price OF its cotton.
Il Methods of Field Selection.
/ No matter now good a new
variety may be or how carefully il
may have been bred and selected, in
ferior plants are likely to appear, es
pecially when it is grown under new
and unaccustomed conditions A spe
cial effort is being made to limit the
distribution to seed from uniform
fields of cotton, but selection is neces
sary to keep any variety from deteri
Grating, and it is useless to wait unit
the deterioration becomes serious be
fore beginning the selection. If proper
attention be paid to the elimination o
inferior plants in the first season
there may be much less variation il

TEST COTTON SEED,
SAYS GOVERNMENT
FARMER SHOULD BE CAREFUL
IN STUDYING DIFFERENT
ROADS.

Washington, D. c. Nov. 23.-Ap-
proximately so varieties of cotton
seed have been distributed during the
past IL years by the United States
Department of Agriculture to farm
Ters interested in securing a variety
best adapted to their particular local
ity. No new variety will be sent out
the coming year; as it is considered
more important to establish a few
superior varieties in general cultiva-
ton than to add to the number of
new varieties
The distribution is made in two
ways. A general distribution is made
of small quantity of seed Il quartz
to enable the farmer to become &C.
quainted with the characteristics of
the variety The second of special
distribution furnishes enough seed to
produce at least one full bale of the
new variety of cotton and also to pro-
duce sufficient seed to plant a con-
siderable acreage the following sea-
son. The special distribution is made
to farmers who have shown interest
/ in the subject by complying with the
request of the Department for re-
port on the previous years planting
/ of the 1-quart sample.
Growers who wish to share in the
special distribution the following year
are expected to furnish a sample of
the seed cotton representing ten D.
locked bolls. These samples are to
be used for determining the length,
quality, and percentage of lint, infor-
nation that is needed to enable the
special distribution of larger quaint
ties of seed probably half bushels) to
be sent to communities that are like.
ly to adopt the new varieties and es
tablish them in regular cultivation.
A mistake made frequently by farm
ers, and sometimes by professional
breeders, is to attempt to combine
testing with breeding. The new va
riety of cotton is planted by the side
of the local variety or mixed stock
in order to test its behavior, and SEED
is saved from the same planting tC
increase the stock of the new variety
There is serious danger that the seet
of the new variety will not be pure or
account of crossing with the local va
riety, so that its special value will bt
lost. The amount of crossing differ:
with the locality and the season, de
pending on the abundance of bees o.
other insects that carry the pollel
from one flower to another. Usually
however, there is too much CROSSING
to make it safe to rely on the purit.

Methods of Testing Cotton Varieties

The best way 10 test the behavior
of two varieties of cotton is to plant
them in alternate rows so that they
can be compared carefully during the
growing season and the yield of each
row weighed separately at. the end of
the season. OF course it is often pos
sible to Judge that one variety is SUI
periOr to another without weighing,
but if the results are nearly equal,
weighing is necessary. Even expert
enced cotton men are likely to make
errors in guessing at the yields of diff
ferent rows of the field. A variety
that "seatters" its lint may appear to
be yielding much more than a storm
proof variety with dense, compact lint
which a comparison of actual weights
of seed cotton and percentages Of lint
will show to be much more productive.
The lint values are also to be COM
pared. especially in long-staple va
rieties. a.4.

the hundreds OF queries that
have come to the Star-Bulletin
en- account Of the blank pages

Experts on advertising claim
that a large amount of white

The cause for the blanks is,
that the Speaker of the House

for the Hawaiian laws to be
published with the reverse
side free of printing. The Ha-

thought that freedom from
