COTTON LOSSES
DUE TO IMPROPER GINNING

WASHINGTON, Nov 9.-If there
is to be any considerable 1essening
Of the great loss which occurs in the
American cotton industry from the
time the seed cotton is sucked into
the gin until the baled lint is deliv-
cred at the mill, say specialists Of
the United States department of ag
riculture, planters must come to re-
alize that a large proportion of this
loss falls on them either directly or
indirectly. aud that they must CO
operate actively to eliminate it. The
loss so far as the fiber is concerned
results chiefly from improper gin
ming which Injuries the lint. and the
inadequate pressing and covering Of
the bale. BY concerted action, it is
pointed out, farmers should be able
TO secure better methods of ginning
and better handling OF their cotton.
being enabled, as result, to market
their crops to better advantage. The
part which the mechanical treatment
of the cotton plays in the STABILITY
of the lint is discussed in new pub
LEGATION of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. Farmers Bull
letin No 764, Cotton Ginning In
formation for Farmers"
Cotton lint is injured under the
methods employed by many gins by
a cutting of the fibre This is due
usually to "A too rapid running of
the machinery, often because of the |
pressure OF business at the gin. For !
best results. frcm the point Of view |!
of the planter. the maximum speed |
should be about 400 revolutions per /
minute for le-inch gin saws. Twelve
inch saws, which have recently come |
into use. are recommended by the |
specialists because a Civ
en- amount of ginning can be done |
with saws of this size when the ma
is onerated more slowly than
with 10-ineh saws. With the saw

ON the other hand, gin equipped
with 12-inch saws will have 90 per /

Losses from Pcor Balin2.
Perhaps the greatest losses fall

they come from the gin, the bales

said to be one of the most unusual
of the many unique photOdramas in

Olga Nelson, Miss Sweet is seen as the
Swedish maid of all work in col
lege boarding house. She is madly in
love with Douglas Gordon, one of the
wealthy young students living at the
boarding house. She gives his room
special attention and sees that he has
all the choice dainties the boarding
house table affords. Young Gordon,
deeply in debt. wires his father for
money, but Gordon, Sr., replies that his
investments have failed and he is
practically penniless and orders young
Gordon to leave college Immediately.
One evening after work, Olga and one
of the housemaids visit Madam Ba-
tavia, the fortune teller, and Olga is
informed that she is soon to become
wealthy. Shortly after that Olga's rlcn
uncle, Sven Johnson, locates his niece
and upon his deathbed leaves her his
fortune. with the condition that she be
married before her next birthday.

Auto Inspection Tour.

The Mercer County Agricultural as
sociation. with Expert L. r Gilmore
at its head, is now planning an auto
tour throughout Henderson county for
the purpose of inspecting the alfalfa
crops of the sandy lands of that coun-
~. Mr.. Gilmore states that the alfalfa
crops of the poorest of the land are as
good as those on the best This is
peculiar fact. and the inspection tour
is to be made mainly for the purpose
of finding out what about the sandy
lands of the county makes it so ad-
mirabIy adapted for alfalfa crop grow
ing. The tour will probably be held
the latter part of next week.
