the low prices recelveu riuvr' more
than offset these fancied gains. The
principal trouble in selling in the seed
is that it is impossible to determine
accurately before ginning the quality
OF the cotton and the percentages OF
lint. seed and trash in q given load.
The average character Of the cotton
of the community is, therefore, usu-
ally taken by buyers as basis Tor
prices, and the producer of cotton bet
ter than the average often receives no
reward. AS matter of fact, even the
producers of average cotton suffer, for
the buyer allows himself a wide mar
gin of safety in making his quotations
and purchases.
These facts are brought out in 4
number of tables just published in
Department Bulletin No. 375, "Disad-
vantages of Selling Cotton in the
Seed" This practice, while not as
common as it once was, is still preva-
lent in certain sections, particularly
in those regions in which cotton is a
comparatively new crop or in which
the production is comparatively
scanty. For example, it is estimated
that 80 per cent of MiSsouri's small
crop was sold in the seed in 1913 and
only per cent of South Cardinals.
The actual number of bales sold in
this way, however. was greatest in
Oklahoma. and for this reason the in
yestigation, the results of which are
to be found in the bulletin already
mentioned, was conducted in that
state.
In the course Of this investigation
q large number Of samples of seed cot
ton were collected from loads sold by
different farmers and the price OF each
load ascertained. These samples were
ginned and the relative proportions OF
lint, seed and trash determined. II
was then possible to compare the re-
turns which the farmers received for
their cotton with what they would
have obtained had they sold their lint
and seed separately at the prevailing
prices.
The samples showed wide varia-
ton in the outturn of lint, seed and
trash. The variation, however, was
rarely takeE into account by the buy,
ers, who, in the same market, on the
same day, often offered the same price
for all unginned cottsn irrespective OF
its quality. Such discrimination as
was exercised was against the pro-
6ucer-that is, lower price might be
offered for cotton that Was obviously
below the average, but good cotton
brought no more than the market rate
This rate was in the majority OF
cases much below what the seed and
lint would have brought had they been
sold separately. Comparisons pub
lished In detail in the new bulletin
show that this loss ranged from an

FREE RANGE is PREFERABLE
Geese Will Pick Up Considerable of

Like Swampy Land.

Geese will obtain considerable OF
their living on free range if the range
is good. Suu-baked fields where there
is no green grass, however, will not
support them, for they require plenty
of green food and, if swamp is
handy, will dig up many worms, ten

There was vigorous buying, coming chiefly

new high records
Among these were Chevrolet Motor,
which moved up points TO 2O2 with the
movement accompanied by renewed re-
ports of a merger with General Motors.
Atlantic Gulf and West Indies also made
new high record, selling at 81, and new
high records were made in the two classes
OF Marine stocks which followed the lead
of the upward movement in the reorgan-
ization certificates of the Stock Exchange
The munition stocks were materially
helped by the knowledge of important new
contracts. with Maxim Munitions moving
q to ga, and Aetna Explosives made
gain Of / y to 81. The silver and copper
stocks were all in vigorous demand. The
heaviest trading in this group was in Ray

changed hands at 4M6i5. Oil stocks
shared in the general improvement. with
Oklahoma Producing advancing to Z and
Houston oil moving up to 2l Gains of to
points in other issues were numerous,
with Tobacco products about the only ex-
ception to the general display of strength.
