1t now appears that owing to the
growing freight congestion North Car
DINA mills will be compelled to usf
more cotton that is grown locally thar
has been the case heretofore. Farm
ers who have had their cotton Off
cially graded will be in much better
position to reap the Denents that this
should bring about than those who art
SELLING a Pig in a Poke" insofar as
they are concerned.
The grading service gives the fonn
dation for successful marketing, viz.
standardization according to a univer
sal standard. Standardization provided
only one prime requisite remains
Quantity-which can be obtained by
pooling or selling togerner.
1t cannot be too strongly impressed
upon all concerned that the cottor
grading service Is merely applying one
of business efficient methods to the

that to get good service proper provis

Results at the Piedmont Branch
Station.
Similar results were gotten at the
Piedmont Branch Station. During
three years (1914-1916) twenty-three
comparisons were made between home
grown and northern grown seed Of the
same varieties. In these tests the
homegrown seed produced at the rate
of 1901 bushels per acre while the
northern grown seed produced los
bushels. This gives an average OF three
pecks per acre in favor of the home
grown seed The test of 1914 contain

grown seed averaged ID bushels per
acre more than the northern grown
Results from Another State.
Similar questions have arisen in
other states The following paragraph
from Bulletin 1877 OF the Utah Expert
ment Station gives a summary of their
results when homegrown and outside
seed wheat were compared: 1T is a
common practice for big grain grow
ers to send away annually Cor seed
wheat. In this manner large quanti-
ties of seed wheat are annually IN
ported into the intermountain region,
under the mistaken impression that
the home grown seed is inferior in
quality. The results of this inyestlga'
ton, therefore are OF utmost practi'
cal importance. The practice OF ship
ming in seed wheat is entirely unnec-
essary and wasteful The quality OF
the homegrown hard wheats Is really
superior to the original seed. Good
pure wheat seed should be selected OF
the kind the grower desires to raise.
He should then continue to raise his
own seed and with proper selection he
NAV rest assured that the quality OF
the seed will not become inferior, but
he may have every confidence that his
wheat is of superior quality
Deterioration or drumming Our OF

The above results from three years
comparison of homegrown and north

that homegrown seed are preferable
II this be true what does cause deteri'
Grafton In seed wheat? The condition
known as deterioration or running
out" of seed wheat is usually due 10
moor care of the seed. Too often our
wheat fields are infested with wild
onions cheat, mustard. and other
weeds. Wheat containing seed OF sucn
weeds is unfit for seed purposes
wheat that is damaged in the neld'

Home Grown and Northern Grown

In order to secure information on
this point the Experiment Station and
State Department OF Agriculture have
compared the yields from homegrown
and northern grown seed wheat OF the
same varieties. Several varieties have
been compared and in each case the

the same variety of northern grown
seed. The comparisons were made
1t the Mountain Branch Station near
Asheville and at the Piedmont Branch
Station near Statesville.
Results at the Mountain Station.
The comparisons OF homegrown
and northern grown seed wheat at the
Mountain Branch Station were made
for three successive years. In thir'

the homegrown seed produced at the
rate of 1865 bushels per acre while the
northern grown seed produced l2'2

FOUND HER HUSBAND
 LIVING WITH ANOTHER WOMAN, W|fEsTATES

After caring for her husband through a long siege of illness, during which time she was his sole support, he repaid her by being unfaithful to her, Mrs. Emma Lloyd alleges.
 This charge is made in a sensational divorce complaint filed in the superior court yesterday in which she charges Robert E. Lloyd, not only with living with another woman, but spending the money she earned for him on the person whose name she claims she does not know.
 Mrs. Lloyd charges that Lloyd and the 'other woman" arc living in local hotel as husband and wife.
 According to the complaint filed by Huber A. Collins and o. c. Ludwig. Jr., NIT. and Mrs. Lloyd were married in Detroit in March 1914 Lloyd suf- fers from tuberculosis, claims his wife. who says she supported him. Unable to find employment here with salary sufficient to provide them both with the necessaries of life, Mrs. Lloyd re- turned to Detroit where her mother resides.
 She secured work, she alleges and kept up a correspondence with her husband, sending him funds from time
  to time to the amount of approxi- mately $l,000. In July the replies to her letters ceased, she states, and she did not continue writing, but as she found the situation embarrassing re- turned to Phoenix, for the purpose of rejoining her husband.
 Mrs. Lloyd asserts that her husband greeted her so indifferently that she rented a room for herself and then to her great surprise and humiliation learned she alleges, that Lloyd for months past had been living with an other woman, registering at hotels as husband and wife.
 Mrs. Lloyd claims to have evidence that her husband has a bank account of approximately $500 which she be- lieves is part of the funds she sent him and which should be returned to her. She asks that he be restrained from withdrawing the money from the bank.
 Mrs. Lloyd in asking for a decree requests the right to resume her maid en name, Emma c. Renaud.

ARIZONA PRISONER IN GERMANY |S OV
 WAY HOME AT LAST

Ralph Ellinwood, a prisoner of war in Germany from May 2S until many months after the signing of the armis- tice, is on his way home.
 Word has been received by his father E. E. Ellinwood of Bisbee, one of the leading lawyers of the state, that his soldier son sailed from Brest Tuesday
 Young Ellinwood has notified his relatives that while he suffered untold hardships he was not mistreated while a prisoner and that he is in good health at the present time.
 Much concern was felt by the family and legion of friends of the Arizonan during the many months he was held in the German prison camp. Although every possible effort was made to get in touch with the prisoner, but scant information reached here from the American Red Cross, which told only that he was a prisoner of war. That he was well treated was news that was heard with satisfaction by all those who were interested in the fate of FL linwood.
