SHEPARD &. GLucK COTTON LETTEF

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 13.-General sell
ing opened the new week in the cotton
market, a good part of the offerings came
out because of widespread rumors of dras-
tic cuts in dry goods prices, some selling
was caused by bearish ideas regarding the
December report on American consumption
due from the census bureau the first thing
Wednesday morning, much liquidation was
seen and also much aggressive short SELL
ing The market acts very healthy and
we do not believe the decline can be car
ried much farther without reactions.
JOHN F. CLARK & CO. COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 13.-Although Liv-
erpool came better than due and general
news was of an encouraging character, the
market this morning opened irregular, 10
down to Is up and experienced a sharp
break of 80 points soon after the opening
The pronounced bearish turn at the close
of last week has disturbed support, as the
aggressiveness Of bearish action in the
northern market, in spite of the very large
discount under spot prices, suggests that
the bear forces are still strong in their
control.
Much of the bearish advantage is attrib-
uted to the existing uncertainty of freight
rates which it is believed causes delay in
the development of expectation. This is
being so widely recognized that it is made
the chief object of trade meetings in the
country.
The discount situation is again the object
Of much argument. The March-May diff
ference might again be near maximum
discount situation is not as easy to main
tain in the wind-up half Of a short crop
season when supply is reduced and the
outlook clearer than during the earlier pert
Of the season. Either spots come down to
futures or futures must advance to spots,
hut we should be near the time when the
discount situation calls for settlement one
way or the other.

Cotton Varieties for Boil weeval
Territory

P. H., Ambrose, Ga, writes: I would
like to know what variety of cotton
YOU recommend in order to get ahead of
the boil weevil.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1919-01-14


YOU recommend in order to get ahead of
the boil weevil.
In your section of the state you
have certain conditions to meet at
present in the cultivation of cotton
which you must keep constantly in
mind. First of all, you should Sc
lect only early fruiting varieties of
cotton because they offer the best
means of making moderate crop
in the presence of the boil weevil.
The earlier the cotton sets on in
sections of the state where this
pest is the most serious menace, the
more .bolls will mature satisfactory
ly. A type of cotton should be Sc
lected as well which is long sea-
son cotton. By this we mean one
which will grow from the top for
considerable period of time If it
does this the weevils will find food
which they prefer on the top of the
plants and will let the lower or ear
lier set on bolls develop and mature
satisfactorily.
is strongly resistant to black root
or the wilt disease, a trouble which
is quite common in your section of
the state. 1t is a difficult matter,
as you can readily see, to find a
variety of cotton which answers all
these requirements satisfactorily.
We are disposed to think that one
of the best short staple cottons for
general cultivation would be Gov
ington Toole, variety which ma
lures early, possesses many. desir-
able qualities, and is strongly re-
sistant to anthracnose. 1t is also a
favorite variety in south Georgia,
being probably as extensively grown
as any of the short staple cotton.
We would also commend to your
attention the desirability of trying
college No. 1, a strain which we
have been improving through the
agency of the college Of agriculture
for several years with the sole aim
we'll adapted to the climatic and soil
of Georgia and which will
enable our farmers to grow mod
crate crops of cotton even in the
presence of fairly bad weevil in
feStation S"'
Another variety of upland cotton
which develops a long staple and has
many other desirable characteristics
and to which the attention of farm
ers in south Georgia can be direct
ed with. advantage is the Meade. This
variety was developed in Texas and
was brought through the aid of the
of agriculture in cooperation
with the United States department
of agriculture. 1t has proven a sat-
isfactory variety. when grown under
proper conditions of handling and
Seed of this variety
are now available and we suggest
that you try a limited area in 1919,
as we believe it is a cotton well
constituted for growth under fairly
heavy weevil infestation.

agreed that the Farm Bureau
put on an exhibit at the West.
EN-. Poeato Show 70 b. held In
0oavs9. during The week Of
January 10 to -. 1920. This
show should prove . mighty
important thing to Rio Grande
county. At the State Fair ut
Pueblo \ couple OF weeks ago.
we heard . great many COM
pliments handed out TO Rio
Crande's farmers. but the dis
play Of twelve different var
ietisa Of potatoes brought forth
more comment than anything
else. We can produce the
spusis: 80 why not let more
people know about Il. In this
show. seven States will be
competing: New Mexico. Wy
oming. Nebraska. Montana.
Utah. Idaho and last but not
least, Colorado. This is n good
chance to advertise: people
from most Of the States In the
union will be in attendance At
the Stock Show and. naturally
will see the potatoes a. we'll.
Now. what we need is n
good sample. GO lbs. out Of
which to pick 30 lbs. the re-
quired amount for the exhibit.
Of each variety. Pick potatoes
which are true to type. smooth
and free from disease. These
potatoes should weigh from
10 to IL OF. for the market
size. There are also classes
for seed Of the different var
ieties. There are good cash
prizes on all classes.

1t the State Fair was put on
by the Farm Bureau: It was
financed by the County Com

for the farmers Of this county
something like $4,000 in indi-
vidual prizes, $4,000 as Sec
ond best county display and
$1,000 ~ third best general
display Of farm products. All
Of the individual prizes money
win be mailed to the people Of

these meetings is to Demon
strate the fact that it is pos
sible to 60 into a flock of hens

STILL SPREADING GERMAN

such they are,
WAS It ever the practice to guar

before the war nine-tenths of the
dyes used were not fast and did not
nced to be. Moreover. are our Iner-
chants not yet aware of the condi-
tions which led for time TO the un-

DO they not krow that in tho PEI

was started. many German dyes were
used for purposes nevc- intended.
md so gave BID results. in most
cases falsely attributed to American
origin. and so when remaining Ger

the American products began to ap-
pear on the markets. these were like
wise used in ways never intended
with equally as poor results as in the
