STAPLE LENGTHS FUR COTTON ARE FIXEDBY THE J. S.
Establishment of These Of ficial Figures Expected To Standardizc Chasing Length Same As Quality

An interesting and timely article ou tho establishments of government standards for staple lengths of cotton appeared in the New Bedford Sunday standard Of February 9. This artici0 however. is of moro than local interest and go it is being reproduced at thi-
 me:
 Announcements were received i1 New Bedford of the establishment by Inc federal department of agriculture. of standard staple types for cotton. which. it is expected will have tho same rfscct in standardizing the chasing oi cotton as Co the length ot its stap.o as be official government grade types. which we're established some yelrs aso. have bad upon upon co.Iul. la-slng g..

The differences between tho types are a aiN.S,nth Of an inch for cotton less than an inch in staple and for cotton over an inch and a half in staple.

Of those consulted 24 oui of 8 mill operators, log out of 12l shippers. and r out of 32 brokers, or about 70 per cent of all. were faVor-' able. Each person interviewed was re- luested to furnish the department oI agriculture with physical types repre- senting his ideas of the respective lengths of staple There were 40S sam ples submitted, which were examined by a committee of nine cotton experts. These types were in most instances tn, actual types used in the transactions of the person by whom they were fur nished. and included all the lengths in siNteenths of a" inch from 3-l6ths of an inch up to and including 1 and H. 16ths. as well as in thirty seconds of an inch from one inch up to and in cluding !. inches. The committee ap- proved over i0 per cent of the types submitted
 The conclusion was reached thal length of staple should be the length Of the flores, by actual measurement according 10 the standard rule under relative humidity of the atmospher. Of O per cent and a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit, without re- gard 10 the quality or value of the staple. It was also akermined that length Of staple less than three fourths to one inch should be desig- mated as below % from three -fourths to one inch should be designated in steps of sixteenths of an inch; and from one inch upwards should be de- signated in steps of thirty seconds of an inch. When cotton more than three tourths of an inch in length of stapie Is not actually one Of the measure ments specified, it is to be designated ny the specified length which comes nearest under it's actual measurement.
 Method of PuIlina

These photogravures show the actual measurements as nearly as possible by any present da-' commercial method of illustration. and for all practical Dur. poses are the exact length of the orig inal methods.
 Realizing that differences in methods of pulling staple may be the cause of variations in the results ot tained by different classers, the bureau Of markets has made a study of the methods used by those who are ack- nowiedsed to be experts in this par ticuiar work. As a result a method has been devise ed which meets with the approval Of the bureau, and it's ~en- eral adoption in determining length of staple according to these standards is recommended

Of Briton.

Mexico City. April 3--The inter
view with Gen. James Mclean. en-
route to Mexico to press the claims OF
British private interests to certain oil
lands, has caused considerable infor-
NAL discussion in the foreign ONCE
here. 1t was not until today. how
ever, that official cognizance was
taken of the interview. Salvador Fer
nandez. acting foreign secretary. then
issued the following statement:
This government has no official
knowledge OF Gen. McLean's inten-
tions. But in case he comes to this
country he will be treated as he de-
serves"
Gen. Mclean, arriving in New York.
said he was going to Mexico to pro-
test against the notification of con-
cessions affecting 15.0o0.0o0 acres
bought by British citizens. He de-
clared that while IL is impossible for
Great Britain to send a warship to
Mexico. because of the Monroe doc
trine. good results would be accom-
plished IL the shadow of American
warships fell on Mexican SOIL
Fernandezs statement that Mclean
will be treated as he deserves" may
be interpreted as meaning the British
officer will be accorded the usual dip
lomatic courtesies-or otherwise.
In an official statement last Wednes-
day, Fernandez declared Mexico never
had and never would recognize the
Monroe doctrine.
