COTTON SEED FOR PLANTING

Just because cotton seed Is bring.

look the fact that next years plant

prices now tend to cause a much

that farmers having exceptionally good
seed may find 1t advantageous to have
more than enough to fill their own
needs. since there should be q ready
sale for the surplus in the spring to

take into consideration the possible re-

FARMERS ARE LOSERS
Specialists Recommend Encour-
agement of Custom Ginning.
Study In Oklahoma by Representa-
tives Of Department of Agriculture
Shows Disadvantage of Sell
ing unginned Article.

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
Because Of the great losses that are
being sustained in the sale of cotton
In the seed in some parts Of the coun-
try. market specialists of the United
States department of agriculture rec
ommend that farmers discontinue
sales Of seed cotton and encourage
custom ginning in their neighborhoods.
The many factors entering into the
value of cotton cannot be estimated
accurately before ginning, it is point
ed out, while by marketing the lint and
seed separately, the grower may have
knowledge of the value of his prod
uct and may sell it on its merits. The
recommendations are based on a study
made in Oklahoma in 1915 and report
ed In Farmers Bulletin No. IT'S, re-
Gently published.
In the transactions observed in Okla
homa an average Of $4.63 per bale was
lost by selling cotton in the seed, while
In one case the loss was as high as
$21.30 a bale. These computations
took full account Of ginning costs and
similar charges. It is estimated that
100000 bales Of cotton were sold in
the seed in Oklahoma during the sea-
son in which the study was made. If
the average losses observed were made
on each Of these bales, the aggregate
loss to the state was in excess of
$1,0O0,000. For the United States as
a whole, the sales of cotton In the seed
in 1915 are estimated to have been
937, 900 bales, or per cent of the
total crop. If the average losses per
bale held good for these sales, the to-
tai loss in the country, due to the sale
of cotton in the seed in 1915, was
more than $4.O00,O00.
Reasons for Losses.
Profitable prices are not offered for
seed cotton, market specialists say,
largely because 1t is impossible for
the purchaser to determine the grade
of the lint before it Is separated from
the seed. and he therefore protects
himself against possible overgrading
by the quotation Of a low price. II
prices for seed cotton were made to
accord with the prices of lint and seed
separately. they would have to be
based on percentages Of fiber and seed,
grade of fiber, and cleanness. Since
these variable factors cannot be de-
terDined accurately for each load,
dealing in seed cotton has come to be
placed on a basis Of averages which
penalties particularly the grower Of
high grade cotton.
In addition to cash losses from re-
ceiving lower prices than would have
been received from the sale of ginned
cotton and seed. farmers selling cot

Extent Of Sales.
The sale of cotton In the seed in
the communities where the practice
is prevalent has usually originated
when the cOtton-growing industry was;
new and gins were not accessible. The
practice has been permitted to con-
tinue in many cases, however, even.
after custom gins have been built in,
accessible localities, on the theory
largely that the saving in time devoted
to ginning, ginning costs, etc., compen-
stated for differences in prices. This
theory the market specialists of the,
department believe, should be dis
proved by the results Of the recent
study.
Missouri, with 80 per cent, leads the
states in the proportion of the local
cotton crop sold in the seed, and is fol.
lowed by Virginia, with 60 per cent,
Florida with As per cent, Tennessee
with 40 per cent, and Oklahoma with
81 per cent. The greatest number Of
bales sold in the seed In any one
state In 1915 was in Oklahoma.

In Woman S Realm
What Is Known the Dressmakers Dress Has Won Immediate
Favor by Its Originality and Beauty-Smart Pepum Blouse
of Satin Has Hat Bordered With Fringe of Ostrich

The 'dressmakers' dress" which is
heralded as the incoming mode, cannot
fail to win over admirers when 1t Is
presented in models as chic as that
pictured. Nothing less than genius
ever succeeded In making a one-piece
dress of such originality and beauty,
that is equal to doing the duty of a
suit. Note that there Is a double
skirt, with the overskirt full and that
the bodice opens over an embroidered
vest. The vest and overskirt provide
as much warmth as the coat in a coat
suit.
In the picture, the underskirt seems
narrower than it really is. This effect
is more a matter of straighter lines

sleeves are harbingers Of a new or.
der Of things In sleeves for the com
ing spring. Both of them are finished

Soutache braid, which has already
had great vogue, decorates the lower
part of the blouse and the peplum with
simple scroll pattern. The braid is
sewed along one edge in the manner
introduced by Paris milliners In the
present season. It does not lie fat
to the garment and 1t makes an alto
gether satisfactory decoration for tail
ored hats as well as other things. The
short sleeves promise long gloves or
some other covering for the forearms.
The hat is bordered with fringe Of
ostrich and Is untrimmed. 1t might be
embellished with pattern in soutache
braid with very good effect.

Pride in Colts.
Every farmer should have pride
in the colts and horses he raises. Ii
the packer and brewer can afford to
pay fancy prices for fash geldings
largely for advertising purposes, the
farmer can we'll afford to feed and
care for his young colts in such way
that they will be attractive to these
buyers. In fact, every farmer should
be ambitious, not only to raise the best
crops, but also to produce the best
stock of all kinds. If he has the best
teams in the neighborhood, they will
attract a great deal Of attention. The
farmers son would certainly become
deeply interested In fine team OF
purebred mares and the colts they
raise. It would stimulate him and en-
courage him to put forth his best eff
forts for their care and management.
The boy who is proud of the stock on
the farm and who may raise and de-
velop a colt good enough to win at one
of the local fairs is not nearly so apt
to leave the farm.
