Atmospheric humidity appears to
be a prominent factor influencing the
quality of the staple. On the Sea Is
lands, fields having an ocean exposure
are said to produce finer and CLOS
sier staple on account of the moisture
laden ocean breeZes. and in the inte-
rior one advantage of the lower lands
Is doubtless their moist air. which is
conserved by protecting forests and
nearby SwampS. In the absence of
sufficient moisture in the air the staple
becomes harsh and shorter. This is
further shown by the fact that q wet
season is more favorable to Sea Island
than TO Upland cotton, while the
Upland varieties do better in q dry
season. The relative production of
Upland and Sea Island cotton in the
northern counties fluctuates with the
season and the changes in acreage due
to varying market conditions.
! The mixing of seed and the hy-
bridizing which result from planting
cotton Of both types in the same COM
munity are serious handicap to the
growers of Sea Island cotton. In this
respect portions Of Florida where only
Sea Island cotton is grown possess a
marked advantage and the intrOduc-
'tion Of Upland varieties should be dis
'couraged.
: In addition to the effect of the high
prices in stimulating the industry and
Of low prices in depressing it, factor
which must be considered in connec-
ton with the production of cotton in
either old or new sections is the sup
ply of available labor. Until present
methods are revolutionized a relative
ly large amount of fairly cheap labor
is required, and It Is great advantage
IL the laborers have had long expert
ence with the crop. Throughout the
Sea Island cotton belt there is now n
growing scarcity Of labor, which is
likely to restrict the acreage planted.
The farmers must meet the new con-
ditions by the adoption of labor-Saving
machinery in planting and in cultiya-
tion, but there will continue to be diff
ficulty in getting the cotton picked.

The pat answer which has been de,
fined as "an Irish comeback" is more
typical of Irish wit than the bull. Bulls
which are common to the humor of

thought overlapping itself-a flash of
perspicacity. When a shrewd doctor
says that warm stockings are the
