CUSTER SCHOOL NOTES.
Our ball team went to Hill City Satur-
day and returned with the large end of
q l3 to I score. one boy insisted upon
hitting the bail that it was necessary for
Hill City TO change pitchers in the sixth
inning, but less respect was shown the
second pitcher. The battery for Custer
was Elmer Hayes and Glen Coe. Elmer
kept the Hill town boys guessing, and
had 1t not been for a few misplays in
the eighth inning the Hill City boys
would have been held scoreless. Lewis
Godsey was the batting star, he hit two
so fast the infeld did not see them 90

Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young Is to
feel young-to do this you must watch
your liver and bowels--there's no need
of having sallow complexion-dark
rings under your eyes-pimples--a bill
ious look in your face--dull eyes with
no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you
ninety per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.
Dr. Edwards, well-known physician
in Ohio perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels. which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets. the sub
sttute for calomel, are gentle in their
action, yet always effective. They bring
about that eNuberance of spirit, that
natural buoyancy which should be en-
ioyed by everyone, by toning up the liver
and clearing the system of impurities.

olina, and the lowest, l62 pounds, for
Oklahoma. The highest average yield for
any state, $50 pounds, was reported for
California, where irrigation is practiced.
Under especially favorable conditions,
and with improved cultural methods, the
yield in some localities approaches bale
to the acre, and there is good reason to
believe that with the more general prac-
tice of intensive and more intelligent
farming it will be possible to bring about
a large increase in production without
any general extension of acreage.
Consumption and Exports.
During the year ended July 81, 1915,
the American consumption of cotton and
linters amounted to 7,27s.529 bales and
the domestic exports TO 6,l9l,lI0 bales,
and stocks held in the country at the
end of the year totaled 3,403,256 bales.
The quantity consumed in American
mills was the greatest on record, but the
exports were less than for any preceding
year since 1904.
The exports of cotton for the past
three fiscal years show great variations,
due principally to the war conditions
existing during the last two years Ex-
ports to the United Kingdom totaled
5,5s ,50l equivalent 500-pound bales in
1914. 3,9l0.749 in 1915, and 2,760,s90 in
1916; to Germany, 2,2S4,324 in 1914,

standing the great reduction in the size
of the cotton crop. During recent years
there has been a great increase in the
output of linters, due in part to the
closer delinting of the seed for the better
separation of the meat from the hulls.
The increase during the past season, how
ever, occurring as it did in connection
with marked decrease in the cotton
crop, may be attributed TO the high price
of lnters, which are in great demand
for use in the manufacture of explosives.
Some mills now obtain more than $50
pounds Of linters per ton of seed treated,
whereas formerly few obtained as much
as so pounds. A greater proportion of
the seed from the 1915 crop was delinted
than of that from any former crop, some
of the seed used for planting even being
passed through the machines.

COTTON STATISTICS
Production In 1915 Was Worth $6a7,e4o,-

by Bureau of Census.

/ A bulletin recently issued by Director
Sam. l.. Rogers of the bureau of the cen.
sus, department of commerce, and pre-
pared under the supervision of William
NJ. Steuart, chief statistician in charge
of the inquiry, shows, for the American
crop of 1915, a production of l. ,06s,l 73
running bales of cotton, counting round
as half bales equivalent to 1871, 800
bales of 500 pounds each, gross weight ,
worth 1927 100000 to the growers, and
of 100000 tons of cottonseed, worth
1857 100000; and for the cotton year"
ended July 81, 1916, a consumption of
6,397 ,6l3 bales Exclusive of linters), ex-
ports of 5,S05,672 bales, net imports of
420,995 bales, stocks on hand at the be-
ginning of the year 1885, l04 bales and
at the end of the year 3,l39,700 bales,
and cotton spindles active at some time
during the year to the number of 32,-

The production of linters from the
crop of 1915 was 944,640 running bales,
the quantity consumed during the year
SS0,sl6 bales, and the quantity exported
POS, 43S bales. For the entire world, the
production of lint cotton destined for
factory use was ls,650,0OO and the mill
consumption 2l,0ll,0 900 bales of 500
pounds net weight. The American crop
of 1915 fell below that of 1914 to the
extent of 4,943,ll0 equivalent 500. pound
bales, gross weight, or more than 80 per
cent, and was less than that of any
preceding year since 1909.
Texas alone produced 1927 ,4S0 equiva-
lent 500-pound bales, or nearly 80 per
cent. of the total American crop of 1915;
while four states Alabama, Georgia,
South Carolina, and Texas. each with an
output of more than 100000 bales--to-
gether produced nearly two-thirds of the
crop.
Acreage and Yield Per Acre.
According to the revised estimates of |
the department of agriculture, the acre
age from which the crop of 1915 was /
harvested amounted to 3l,4l2, 00O-the |
smallest since 1907. This reduction in |
acreage was due to the demoralized state |
Of the cotton market following the out
break of the European war. The average
production of lint per acre in 1915, as
estimated by the department of agricul-
ture, was ITO pounds, as against 200
pounds in 1914, ls2 pounds in 1913, 1911
pounds in 1912, and POS pounds in 1911.
