attention to its motor as the cleaning of a spark plug.
Its rate Of travel ranged from only S miles per hour,
blowing through ~hub-deep mud. to SO miles per hour on
smooth stretches.
The railroad schedule is 90 hours; and the Cadillac
cut 81 hours and % minutes of the precious motor

In that eventful period of a little more than a week,

Over mountain ranges, along precipitous passes, through
desert wastes. fording unbridged streams and through
roads almost impossible at their best but made worse bv

The real achievement rests in the fact that il emerged
from the fray virtually as good a Cadillac as when il
began.
1t is still a Cadillac with many thousands of miles Of
service ahead Of it.
All that the Cadillac has demonstrated before is nov
demonstrated anew in another way.
We all know, now, beyond doubt, that there is not in
this nation a set of road conditions which can successfully
challenge Cadillac construction.

As to whether or not the land

SELL COTTON IN SEED
Improbable Practice of Many
Southern Farmers.
Low Prices Received Do More Than
Offset Fancied Gains Saved in
Ginning Costs, Trouble
and Delay.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Many cotton growers are suffering
considerable losses without being
aware of thy selling their cotton in
the seed Those following this prac-
tiee are of the opinion that they save
in ginning costs, trouble and delay but
recent Investigations by marketing
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture indicate that
the low prices received much more
than offset these faneied sgains. The
principal trouble III selling in the seed
Is that ii is impossible to determine
accurately before ginning the quality
of the cotton and the percentages of
lint, seed and trash in given load.
The average character of the cotton
of the community is, therefore, uSu-
ally taken by buyers as basis for
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 wide mar
Gin of safety in making his quotations
and purchases.
These facts are brought out in a
number of tables just published in
Department Bulletin No. $40, "Disad-
vantages of Selling Cotton in the
Seed. This practice, while not as
common as It once was. is still preya-
lent in certain sections, particularly
in those regions in which cotton is It
comparatively new crop or in which
the production is comparatively

that 90 per cent of Missouri's small
crop was sold in tie seed in 1915 and
only per cent of South CaroIina's 5.

To he found in the bulletin already
mentioned, was conducted in That
state.
In the course Of this investigation
II large number of samples of seed cot
ton were collected from loads sold by
different farmers and the price of each
load ascertatned. These samples were
ginned and the relative proportions of
lint, seed and trash determined. 1t
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 ut the prevailing
prices.
The samples showed a wide varia-
ton in the outturn of lint, seed and
trash The variation, however, was
rarely taken into account by the buy
ers who, in the same market, on the
same day, often offered the same price
for all ungiuned cotton, irrespective of
its qu<ity. Such discrimination as
was exercised was against the pro-
ducer-that is, Il 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
i lished in detail in the new bulletin
