ELECTION LIKELY

The indications now are that Nevada
will elect the first woman and the first
independent to the L S. Senate And
these are the signs which point to this
result
A majority of Nevada people are
dissatisfied with both old parties
They know that big business controls
both Democratic and Republican par
lies and wrote both party platforms in
he interests of the money power.
They know that neither Oddie nor
Henderson, pledged as they are to
these platforms, can do anything FOR
fHE PEOPLE. They see both can.
lidates are committed to interests
which exploit the people. These voters
ire turning to me, the INDEPENDENT can
lidate, free from big business control
md pledged to fight the profiteers to
over the cost OF living
The lear is now expressed by Oddie
supporters that | am drawing so
,eavily from Republican votes as to
iefeat Mr. Oddie. Henderson sup
)orters fear | am drawing SO heavily
rom Democratic votes as to defeat
Mr.. Henderson. Both are right. | am
lrawing SO heavily from the two party
,andidates that will defeat them both
Republican votes for me are not votes
or Henderson" Democratic votes
or me are not votes for Oddie.
They are not votes thrown away
they are votes for me and the prin.
'iples for which stand. These Demo
ratio and Republican votes, combined
It'll the big Independent vote of the
ate, are going to elect me.
Women are supporting me- They
ant a woman senator to fight for
government care of maternity and in
ncy, for women aud children whose
eeds are neglected by Our Congress
# men.
Labor is supporting me. The Sparks
federation OF Labor, the largest labor
rganization III the state, has endorsed
ny platform and pledged to make
very effort to win my election. The

he same action. Pledges of support
rom voters throughout the state are
laily received at my headquarters
DON'T waste YOUR vote on a party

TOO MANY COTTON VARIETIES
 A DISADVANTAGE TO GROWERS

A serious disadvantage in ralslng cotton of good staple which should demand a good comparative market price is the present great multlpllcl- ty of varieties, according to E.. A. Hodson, agent in cotton market, ing demonstration of the Agricul tural Extension Division, Unlver- sity of Arkansas.
 There are present more than TOO alleged varieties of cotton on the market. A survey of county in Georgia showed that 56 varieties were being grown in that one coun- ty. While it is probably not true that any one county in Arkansas grows that many different varieties, it is true that too many varieties are grown in communities to insure purity
 This evil of such a large number of varieties is one that can be cor rected through community acton. If a community will organize and, instead of welcoming new and un- tested varieties each year, refuse to plant them until they have been tested in comparison with existing varieties, it will be safeguarding itself against impure varieties and inferior staples. With such com
The courier-index., 1920-11-19

munity or county organization it would be useless to recommend new sorts to an intelligent organized public awakened to the necessity of improving their cotton crop.
 With communities organized to grow one variety of cotton and to maintain supplies of pure seed, the introduction of new varieties will be viewed from a new standpoint. A farmer then would understand that the planting of new varieties would likely bring about difficulties in ginning and marketing his crop. Other farmers in the community would want to protect themselves against mixture of their pure seed with the new variety.

POOR WINTER SHELTER
 CUTS EGG PRODUCTION

Hens and bullets sHhich are to be
 retained for winter laying should
 already be in permanent winter
 quarters. according to H. B. Lans-
 den. poultry husbandman of the Az
 ricultural Extension Division, Unl- versity of Arkansas.
 November work in the poultry yard, advises MT. Lansden, should consist mainly in making prepara-- tions forf winter. The wfirst cold spell is sure to cause sudden check in egg production unless the hens have a good shelter. If hens and bullets are laying fairly well now due to moderately warm weather, abundance of weed and grass seed and other natural conditions con ducive to good egg production. the poultry grower will suffer disap- pointing loss unless his fowls are producers.
 .Everyone now knows that the late molters are the best layers in the flock. But it is not everyone that sees to 1t that the late molters are given proper treatment. Where they are allowed to run with the rest of the flock they are often mis- treated by the other fowls and on cold nights they suffer from expo sure Every grower should see that the late molters are comfortable, even if they have to be placed in a separate pen until they are well feathered. Late molters often get a setback because they cannot fly to the perches and have to crowd in he nests or huddle in corners on the floor.
 "In shifting stock to new guar ,ers, in the case of young bullets, ny to prevent the tendency to crowd n corners instead of going up on the ,erches. If they crowd in corners where there is no ventilation the birds will sweat and thus lay a foundation for colds and roup. Young bullets should be trained to ake the perces by providing con venient and accessible roosts within heir reach.
