COTTON STANDARDS
TO help farmers
TO MARKET CROP
County Agents May Be Pro
vided with Set by Federal
Agricultural Department.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 2S.-To as
sist in bringing about more extensive
use of the official cotton standards
of the United States by growers il
their sales, the office of markets and
rural organization Of the United
States department of agriculture is
cooperating with the states relations
service OF the department in plac-
ing in the hands of county agents in
the cotton producing sections sets OF
practical forms of the standards. The
forms are furnished only after the
agents have given satisfactory assur-
ances that they will be kept in a
place accessible to cotton growers, In
the care OF a competent custodian
who does not profit directly from
trading in cotton.
More than sixty sets of the practi-
cal forms of the standards already
have been shipped TO county agents.
1t is expected that more than 100 will
soon be placed in this way. Each set
OF the practical forms consists Of the
nine grades Of white cotton. The sets
remain the property of the United
States government.
In arranging for the keeping of the
standards in the counties the office
of markets and rural organization
has approved such agencies as banks
chambers of commerce, boards OF
trade, stores whose proprietors do
not trade in cotton, etc.
The official cotton standards OF the
United States are used by practically
every important spot market and en-
change in the south, and it is the de-
sire of the cotton specialists of the
department. Of agriculture that the
sales and purchases OF cotton from
the time it leaves tho farmers hands
until it reaches these larger markets
also shall be conducted on the basis
of tie standards. 1t is believed that
the presence of a set of the practical
forms in each county, where farmers
NAV examine and become familiar
with them, will he 2 valuable educa-
tive force in grading and will tend

ers to arrive at reasonably close
valuation of given grade of cotton.
1t is expected that some county
agents will figure the local valuations
from Gay to day for the different
grades, taking into consideration the
cost of handling cotton to the nearby
spot market, and will bulletin the
figures. The office of markets and
rural organization will furnish such
county agents from time to time quo
tations On the various official grades
from the nearest important spot
market. as we'll as from all the spot
markets designated under the cotton

w IIY is it, one wonders, that the
w label "Made in America"
w fail to be the one that induces
sales. Why is it that the average
woman must be made to believe that
fabric is imported before she will
acknowledge it's favor. As a matter OF
fact, we are making wonderful silks on
this side of the sea and a great many OF
those that are displayed without dis
tinctive signs whatsoever are manu-
featured within our own borders no
matter how much they may be mis-
taken for French for italian or for
Swiss To be sure, we do not raise
silk here. We must import the raw
material but we have wonderful looms
and wonderful designs and the pro-
ducts are really exquisite in the ex-
IRENE. This week it was the writer's
good fortune to look over sample line
OF an important manufacturer. Such
glorious colors and such fascinating
weaves surely must bring their reward.
We all know the pussy willow taffeta.
That name has become household
word, but this year it is being put
forth in the richest Oriental and the
most wonderful Russian designs to be
used as Innings for coats and ior tnrs.
We long ago learned the value of color
in lining. Some of those remarkable
stripes that show such effects as bright
blue stripes crossed with narrower ones
Of cerise and Of gold make superb
effect and add greatly to the general
picturesqueness that is always de-
sirable in dress so long as it is not
carried to the extreme. 1t has been
known for some time that the Oriental
or seni-oriental influences would be
largely felt inthe output Of the Autumn.
Many Of these designs owe their sug-
eestion to Russia or to the famous
Bakst at his best. His wonderful
bal.ets that were planned under his
supervision are perfect revelations OF
color effect. We may we'll study him
and learn. Sometimes it has happened
that the so called Bakst designs were
crude in color, the names of the colors
being followed rather than the quality
it would SEEM The Autumn output
Of these lining silks is exquisite. In
addition. we have wonderful butterflies

yet quite ethereal enough. 1t is over
laid with silk threads to produce a
lovely shiinmery effect which is ex-
quisitc. We have Gcorgette over!aid
with tiny checks in silk, too, and we
have Gcorgctte with velvet stripes.
We have indeed, the most wonderful
fabrics offered that are manufactured
On our own soil. They are being
ordered by Paris in generous supply.
If they come back to us made up into
costumes with the Paris label. we no
doubt will give France the credit OF
their being. 1t has happened more
than once that fame has been made via
Paris or via London. 1t sec,rs pity
that we must resort to such devices.

ADVANCE IN FOOD PRICES BEARS
HEAVIEST UPON AUsTRIANs

Washington, D. c.. July 13.-War's
increase of food prices in Europe, as
shown today by the bureau of labor
statistics, has touched neutrals almost
as heavily as it has the belligerents.
The Teutonic countries have felt the
pinch more than have the allies.
The bureaus statistics give biggest
food price advances in Austria, where
meats are more than 500 per cent
higher than before the war. Beef
that in February, 1914, sold for 6.3
cents pound now brings 1877 cents,
and meat prices in Berlin show in
creases ranging from As to 100 per
cent.
The British public is paying on an
average IS per cent more for it's food
than it did two years ago. The great.
est increase, 152 per cent, has been in
sugar; the lowest, II per cent, in oleo.
margarine. In France prices are %
per cent above the prewar average
in Italy around 80 per cent.
Price increases in the neutral coun.
