SEA ISLAND IS
SURPASSED BY
MEADE COTTON

A long staple cotton that threatens
to put the common short staple out OF
business entirely in the Souh has been
developed through the United States
department of agriculture, and it has
already been tried in Georgia with
remarkable success. The variety Is
known as Meade. 1t is an upland cot
ton that surpasses Sea Island in quail
ity and commands an equal or better
price than Sea Island In addition it
produces fully as well as the short
staple, and the seeds are richer in oil
than other varieties, and therefore
more valuable.
Carded samples of Meade and Sea
Island are on display at the Cham
Der of Commerce, where they were
prepared by George o. Marshall, coun-
ty far mdemonstration agent. Accord
ing to Mr.. Marshall, Meade cotton has
not been grown in sufficient quantities
as yet to make the seed generally
available for planting this year. There
is small amount of seed however,
and it is believed the crop this year
will provide enough to go around next
season.
One of the first to test Meade cot
ton in Georgia was W. ]. BOyett, of
who is now operating his own 500
acre farm in Randolph county. Last
season he produced two bales of Meade
cotton with such success that he has
announced his intention of planting
80 acres this year "as it makes as
we'll here" he says in a letter to Mr..
Marshall, "as the short cotton does"
At the request of The Times-Re-
corder, Mr.. Marshall the county
agent, has prepared the following
brief statement regarding Meade cot
ton:
''The Georgia State College Of Agri
culture has recently issued a bulletin
on Meade cotton, showing the advant-
ages of this valuable cotton.
This cotton was discovered at
GAINESVILLE, Tex, by Roland M.
Meade, who was with the Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. c.
In the spring of 1917 the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture distributed
through the State College of Agricul-
ture a few bushels of this seed for
experimental purposes. The results
were more than satisfactory, and the
cotton produced from these plats sold
on the Savannah market for 70 IL
cents per pound, half a cent more
than the price of Sea Island the same
day.
Meade cotton, grown with thirty
seven other varieties on the college
demonstration field in 1917, ranked
first in total value of seed and lint,
producing 2039 pounds of seed cotton,
which yielded 500 pounds of lint, and
1916 pounds of seed In 1918, it rank
ed rst in the variety tests with thirty
eight varietias
THE high price paid for Meade is
due to the quality and length of sta
pie. It's length is from 1 IL to rs
inches and very fine and silky. 1t re-
quires upon an average 253 bolls to
produce a pound of lint
Mr.. Joe Hifghtower grew a plat
of Meade in 1918, and the result was
very good in consideration of the una
voidable delay in getting the seed
klanted.
"a sample of Meade may be seen in
the window of the Chamber OF Com
merce, and supply of the bulletins
dealing with this special cotton may
be had from the county agent.

TWO NEW STARS
At ROYAL TO-DAY
Albert Ray and ElinOr Fay Seen
in words and Muse By"

The bill today at the Royal theatre
includes a story of the struggle for
recognition of two typical American
youths, a boy and a girl, who go to
New York seeking fame and fortune
as composer and singer. They drift
into Tin Pan Alley, erstwhile head
quarters of the principal music pub
fishers, and much of the action of the
play is said to develop there. The pro-
duction is a William Fox release feat
uring two new stars, Albert Ray and
Efinor Fair, and is entitled Words
and Music By" This is the second
picture in which Mr.. Ray and Mfss
Fair have been cast as stars and Is
one of a series of stories especially
selected for portraying the character
istics of the typical American young
man and young roman
The story, Based upon a tale pub
lished in a popular magazine and writ
ten by William Charles Lengel shows
the life of the young couple in their
home town, maying clear that their
musical aspirations meet with little
paternal or friendly sympathy. The
young woman eventually obtains rec
ognition as a singer in opera, but the
boy, who has written an opera, strug-
giles along unnoticed. His composition
eventually Is stolen by a man who
recognizes its value and who nearly
succeeds in putting it over as his own.
The n in which authorship Is
proved is said to comprise a highly
dramatic and interesting climax.

Men who have failed to study or
concentrate their ability upon any
one line of endeavor, and who, for
that reason, have been denied success
