WARNING TO PRODUCERS
Against Planting Seed OF Inter-
ior Grades of Cotton.

department or agriculture April .,
1914, and again March 2, l915.issued
warnings to farmers of the South.
west against planting varieties OF
cotton that usually produce staple
of less than seven-eighths inch IN
length, especially such varieties as
are said to produce half seed and
half lint. In view of the approach
ing planting season the department
wishes to reiterate these warnings
for the benefit of the entire cotton
belt. The producers of cotton. for
their own welfare. should heed this
advice, and should exercise judiclous
care in the selection of planting seed.
The following reasons are given
for warning cotton growers against
planting any variety that usually
produces a staple of less than seven
eighths inch in length:
/ Cotton of less than seven
eipbths inch staple is of approxl-
mately the same spinning value as
the bulk of the cotton of India. On
economic principles, the American
product should be maintained on
higher level of intrinsic worth than
that of India in order that the Amer
ican crop may not be forced to COM
pete in the markets of the world
with the cotton of India.
2. Cotton of less than seven
eighths inch staple is inferior to the
average American quality, and local
tiles that produce such cotton in ap-
preciable quantities soon establish
regulations for an inferior product.
The price of all cotton in such mar
kets will suffer on account of the
poor reputation of the market.
8. Competent cotton buyers dis
criminate against extremely short
staple whenever such cotton is dis
covered. They should be equally
careful to discriminate in favor of
cotton of good staple. The farmer
who produces inferior cotton is like
" to find that his product brings
price materially lower than quota
/tions would indicate asits true value.
The seller commonly looks upon such
discrimination as penalty, while the
buyer considers that he is paying the
full value for an inferior commodity.
q. Under the common practice OF
the cotton trade. the price OF spot
cotton is governed largely by future
quotations. In order that future
quotations might more accurately
reflect the value of spot cotton. Con-
gress, in the United States Cotton
Futures act, provided form OF con-
tract, exempt from the tax imposed
by the act, on which cotton of ex-
tremely low grade or which is less
than seven-eighths inch in length OF
staple is not deliverable. This action
by Congress was intended primarily
for the benefit of producers. One
of it's results was the adoption by the
New York and New Orleans ex-
changes of the exempted form OF
future contract. so that cotton of
less than seven-eighths inch in length
of staple cannot be delivered there
on. This legislation in no way affects
any sale of spot cotton.
5. As the variety of seed planted is
the primary factor in determining
length of staple, and as there are
early maturing prolific varieties that
produce staple of at least an inch
in length, no farmer or community
is justified in planting an inferior
variety. or in expecting the full
market price for debased article of
commerce.

SAVE YOUR OWN SEED.

Following the big campaign now on for more clovers and cover crops the Extension Division and U. s. Department of Agriculture will start early n September a statewide campaign for Field Seed Selection" CT u ars are being written on Selecting Seed Corn," Selecting Cotton Seed and these will be distributed by county agents, bankers, county judges and others. It is earnestly hoped that at least one hundred progressive farmers can be found in each county to go into their fields and select their seed corn and cotton seed according to sug- gestions given by the county agent and others of the Extension Serv- ice. The circulars will be ready by September 10. But now every patriotic Arkansas farmer must be planning for his acre or five or ten acres of clover and for his other winter cover crops of wheat or rye or oats, There are five great reas- ons for sowing clovers and other cover crops. Name them.
 STEPS FOR WHEAT CULTURE.
 Ground for wheat should be plowed before the middle If August. preferably as early as July l 5 and not later than August IS, if possible to get it done before that time. Flowing before this date should be six to eight inches deep, but later blowing it will be better to blow only four inches deep. Wheat ground should be disced before blowing, if possible. Seed bed must be well prepared. It will pay to clean seed wheat in a tanning mill and SOW only plump and sound grains and SOW only five pecks per acre. If wheat has smut. it should be treated with for maldehyde. See county agent for directions.

Don't Want Saloons.

Little Rock merchants did not sign the petition for the repeal of the state wide prohibition act. Six months of prohibition has demon strated that it is the greatest eeo- homie force that could be intro duced among the people. The big merchants of the city who former ly contended that it would kill the town to take away the saloons, are now the ardent supporters of the prohbitory laws. Trade is better, collections are better and old ac- counts are paid up. The Ohio law, with it's supposed rigid restrictions, does not app gal to them a5 sub stitute for a law that has demon strated it's efficiency.

Clean Hands.

Disease germs lead a hand to mouth existence. If the human race would learn to keep the un- washed hands away from the mouth many human diseases would be greatly diminished We handle infectious matter more or less con stantly and we continually carry the hands to the mouth. If the hand has recently been in contact with infectious matter the germs of disease may in this way be in- troduced into the body. Many persons Wet their fingers with saliva before counting money, turn ing the pages of book or perform ing similar acts. In this case the process is reversed, the infection being carriedto the object handled. there to await carriage to the mouth of some other careless per son. In view of these facts the U. s. Public Health Service has for mulated the following simple rules of personal hygiene and recon .mends their adoption by every per son in the United States:

 Before eating,
 Before handling, preparing or serving food,
 After using the toilet,
 After attending the sick and
