in the seed and you ask my opin- ion as to whether farmers general ly should be advised to follow this plan. Experiments have been con ducted to determine the practica- bility and advisability of storing cot ton in the seed. Mir. Brand, former ly chief of this bureau, arrived at the conclusion that this is a most desirable practice. He found out that if cotton was properly stored in the seed it dried out as to per init more satisfactory ginning; the seed also dried out and was of bet ter quality than when ginned short ly after picking. The experiments referred to indicated definitely that there was a distinct advantage in storing seed cotton for several weeks before ginning. This seemed to re- suit in an improved quality of seed and lint. Another advantage-it enabled the farmer to devote all of his time to picking during the rush season and enabled him to have the cotton ginned and handle the seed at time when he was not so urgently needed on the farm. Of course, storing of cotton in the seed must be done, if at all, under correct conditions in order to pre- vent damage by heating. ."-The Progressive Farmer.

"HUMORESQUE" FILM OF IN-
 TENSE APPEAL, COMING SOON
Fannie Hurst Story of Ghetto Gen. jus Strikes Fine Human Note
 As Picture.

Fannie Hurst's most appealing story, "Humoresque,' has been transferred to the screen and will be the feature attraction at The Regent Theatre October II and 15. The intensely human atmosphere of the novel is said to have been in- corporated into the picture with singular success.
 The story centers around Leon Kantor, a boy of the Ghetto who shows an intense love for music. His mother, who has always wanted a musician-son, is delighted and on his seventh birthday buys him a violin. Leon's playmate is pretty Gina Ginsberg. Fifteen years later Leon is a recognized genius. On the night of his triumph at big concert given for his people at the Ghetto, he enlists. Leon returns from France with a shattered should CT and it is said that he will never be able to play the violin again. Leon's music is his all. He becomes morose and discouraged. Before the war he had become engaged to Gina, Now he wishes to release her from arrying him--a cripple. But in a very wonderful way he is re- stored to full strength and, to the joy of his mother and Gina, turns toward new conquests in the realm of music.
 Alma Rubens is the featured play CT in 'Humoresque," and Gaston Glass and Vera Gordon are also in- cluded in the cast

WHAT SHALL WE DO ABOUT
 LOW-PRICED COTTON SEED7
I.-Harvie Jordan Says Store Seed Cotton, Gin Later and Get
 Better Price.

Answering letter from The Pro- gressive Farmer asking his advice as to how farmers should deal with the distressingly low price of cotton seed, Secretary Harvie Jordan, of the American Cotton Association, writes us:
 There are two methods of meet ing the present cotton seed situa- ton by the farmers, namely:
 '1. Store the seed cotton in bulk on the farm and postpone ginning to later date, say so days. The lint fibre will improve in length and texture and gain considerable in weight, while the seed will not damage unless the bulk seed cot ton is packed too tight. Some of the largest and most successful cot ton farmers in this state build small frame cotton houses in the cotton fields hoIing from four to six bales of cotton, and never think of ginning a. bale before January, or until the picking for the season has been completed. They never have any trouble about heated seed, and gain tremendously in weight and market value lint. And under this plan all of the laBor is kept busy picking the crop during the busy season and valuable labor is not kept out of the fields hauling to the gin. "This is the best economic and protective plan for the farmers to adopt in order to counteract the depression in price of cotton seed and lint cotton which is usually en- countered at the opening of the Sesson' @a. If the seed cotton must be ginned the seed can be hauled home and stored in dry barns or houses Such seed, if not stored in toe large bulk and the seed stirred about with shovels or pitchforks every few days, the seed will not heat, but will dry out and can then be kept indefinitely. Of course, this is g matter which will require attention but it has been done successfully ir thousands of instances for years and the difference in gain in prices 1 is certainly worth much wider interest and attention of the grow CTS"
 Tn letter to one of our Progress sive Farmer editorial staff, MT. D S. Murph, specialist in cotton mark
 eting of the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture, gives about the same advice as MT. Jordan. Mir Murph writes:

This plan has been adopted only after the officers had exhaust ed every effort to secure the nee essary equipment The Reunion Committee has bought 5000 double mattresses at a cost of over $20,O00 and the veterans will be quartered Tn the school houses of Houston as was done in Tulsa. This is consid- cred a good arrangement, especially in case of bad weather. A central mess hall has been established where the veterns who expect to be enter tained by the city will receive their meals without cost.
 One of the questions which the next legislature will be called upon to consider is the recurring prob lem of fish and game protection. Those who are familiar with the situation in the state contend that unless vigorous measures are adopt ed, the fish and game of Arkansas will in a few years be exterminated. There has been for several years, growing sentiment in favor of con serving the wild life of the state NtSStiAioN SiiC Ol ildIhtI hunters. There has been opposition in certain rural communities, which have looked upon such movements as violation of their personal lib- critics. On the other hand it has been contended that fish and game belong to the state as a whole and that the state has not only the right, but the duty, to protect it for the general good. The greatest amount of opposition has arisen to elaborate machinery employed thru commis- sions and game wardens, but it ap- pears that this is due largely to misunderstanding on the part of the people. The last session devoted much time to discussion of the fish and game commission and great ly reduced it's efficiency by the adoption of laws curtailing its pow CTS. But the conservists will return to the fight next January and will needed Legislation.
 One of the striking evidences of an increased public sentiment in favor of game conservation is re- ported from Newport. A fisher man, who pleaded guilty to dyna- hitting fish in Cache river in May, 1919, was sentenced to one year imprisonment in penitentiary by Judge Dean Coleman. The court declared that he proposed to see that the game laws are enforced in his district and that the fish in the rivers and the game in forests must be protected against useless and wholesale slaughter by artificial means. He declared that public sentiment is opposed to such things.
 Both Senator Kirby and Senator Robinson will enter the National Campaign in the interest of the Cox-Roosevelt Ticket. Senator Kir- by, although overwhelmingly defeat ed for reelection, is loyal demo- crat who will not sulk in his tent, but who will do everything in his power to advance the interests of the Democratic party. He was in- .vited to make a series of speeches i in Nebraska this week. He could not fill this appointment but will fill other appointments later in the campaign. Senator Robinson will accompany Senator Stanley of Ken lucky on tour of Northern states in the interest of the ticket.
