Ocrats Of this state do not yet claim
that they can swing it to Wilson, yet
al this early date il is clear that the

the temerity 10 name the winner.
California normally, OF course, is
strongly republican, but it is signif.
cant that this year at least one-third
Of the registered voters have refused
to declare their party preference. Our
primary laws make It mandatory on
voters who wish 10 vote for the nom.

The fact ot the matter is that the
progressiyes Of California-and their
vote will control the November cleo
tion-are strongly incensed at the
manner in which their loyalty TO the
cause has been betrayed by Colonel
Roosevelt at time above all others
when they felt he should have re-
mainsd loyal. Governor Johnson has
not urged a single progressive TO re-
turn 70 the republican party, because

ness, and shows a higher yielding
power than the earlier importation.
Dwarf feterita originated from a
plant which was only 212 feet high
and two weeks earlier in maturity
than the general crop Of feterita. 1t
has not fully retained either its
dwarfness or its earliness, but has
made consistently high yields OF grain
and appears TO be OF some value where
an early maturing grain crop is de-
sired.
White milo is a variety Of sorghum
which has been grown 10 small eX-
tent throughout Oklahoma and Texas
for a number Of years. A dwarf strain
Of this variety has been obtained by
the department, which very much re-
sembles the ordinary dwarf yellow
milo White milo has given evidence
OF greater drought resistance than
even the ordinary dwarf milo and
feterita.
These four varieties of sorghum
were grown in field tests at the Chilli
cothe CTexasD field station for the
years 1913, 1914, and 1915 Dwarf he
gari made the highest average yield
Of both fodder and grain for this
period. with dwarf feterita second in
grain yield, but lower In yield Of
fodder At Amarillo, Texas. for the
same period dwarf feterita gave the
highest grain yield, with improved
feterita second in grain yield and on
ly surpassed by Blackhull kafir in the
amount Of fodder produced
At Hays, Kansas. for the two years
1914 and 1915. white milo gave the
highest grain yield and a fodder yield
about equal TO that OF dwarf hegari. .
The grain yield Of white milo was
about ten bushels greater per acre
than that Of the ordinary dwarf milo.
Il was found possible at Chillicothe. .
IcAas, 70 obtain two grain crops in
one year from dwarf hegari and the
two feteritas. The dwarf milo. how

The purpose OF the bulletin is not

new varieties in preference TO the
present standard varieties Of the great
plains. II is intended 10 serve as a
source OF information in regard to
these varieties at a time when they
are being sent out for trial among the

this way, however, was greatest in
Oklahoma, and for this reason the in.
yegtigauon, the results Of which are
10 be found in the bulletin already
mentioned, was conducted in that
state
In the course OF this investigation
! a large number Of samples OF seed
cotton were collected from loads sold
I by different farmers and the price Of
each load ascer,ained. These samples
were ginned and the relative proper
tions OF lint, seed and trash determin-
ed. Il was then possible 10 compare
the returns which the farmers re-
ceiyed for their cotton with what
they would have obtained had they
sold their lint and seed separately at
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 unginned cotton, irrespective
of its quality. Such discrimination
as was exercised was against the pro-
ducer-that is, a lower price might
be offered for cotton that was OBJ
yiously below the average, but good
cotton brought no more than the mar
ket 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
published in detail in the new bulle-
tin show that this loss ranged from
an average of $1.75 per bale for Low
Middling to an average of $3.50 per
bale for Good Middling. The total
loss on $50 bales of the white grades
sampled by the investigators was 81,
7l5.2O, or an average of S463. In,
these calculations, it should be said,
proper allowance was made for the
cost of ginning. In some instances,
it is true the farmer gained by selling
his cotton in the seed, but these were
far too few to alter the general re-
suit
There is, moreover, another disad-
vantage inh6ent in the practice.
Not only does the farmer usually lose
in the marketing of any one crop,
but he is seriously hindered in i'm
proving his cotton from year to year
because there is no incentive to do
So AS the buyer of seed cotton pays
little or no attention to grade and
staple the producer is forced to think
chiefly of the yield per acre More
over, it is difficult, if not impossible,
for the grower to obtain his own
seed from the ginner for planting and
he is, therefore, unable to maintain
a pure variety. In the majority of
markets about the only advantage in
selling seed cotton, the investigators
found, was the saving in the time of
the men and teams that otherwise
would have 10 await their turns at
the gins. They recommend, there
fore, that Tor the common good of all
concerned the practice of selling cot
ton in the seed be discouraged and
that each bale be custom ginned and
sold upon its merits.

Names Kakehi to Work
Among His People

With the appointment of NJ. kakehi
as special secretary for the Citizen
ship Educational Committee today,
the committee launched the first plan
for a campaign for better citizens
throughout the islands. At a meet
ing today at the University Club, Ka-
kehi was formally selected for the
position.
Japanese will teach Japanese the
workings of the plans for better citi-
zenship. In the past the committee
has been working on cooperation
among the races, and the work has
advanced to the point that travelling
secretary who could talk to the peo-
pie in their own language was needed.
Kakehi will leave on Monday for
Kauai, where he will stage a two
months campaign among the Japa-
nese of that island, explaining the
policies of the committee. He will
give number of talks on good citi-
zenship, and will also vepamphlets
which have been specially prepared
for the work
The committee voted that the work
in citizenship be made territorial in
its scope, and were OF the opinion
that there was a need for the estab-
lishment of a central office here from
which material may be sent to the
other islands.
