 What would electric power do for the farmer? Electric power, if prop erly applied, would run his irrigation pumps, run his threshing machines, pump water for his stock, saw his wood, milk his cows, grind feed for his stock, do his wife's washing, iron ing and cooking, light and heat his house, run his electric ear and save him 30 cents per gallon for gasoline and hundreds of other things too nu- merous to mention.

removed at the gin and likewise their presence in the sample lowers the grade in proportion to the quantity. Immature fibers of cotton ginned wet will produce "naps"-and gin cut fi- bers will also materially reduce the value.
 'In addition to the grade of cotton there is another factor which deter mines the market value, namely the length of the staple. The value of the staple is entirely independent of the grade and should not be confused with it.
 Cotton quotations are given for 7-8 to 1 inch staple Cotton that has staple of 1 1-16 inches then will be worth, at the present market prices, about 200 points more than one inch staple and cotton with 1 Is staple about $50 points more than one inch staple. If middling one inch cotton is quoted at 1850 then middling 1 1-16 inch would be worth 21.50. If mid ding cotton is 1850 and strict mid ding at 100 points on and premium of 200 points for 1-16 inch staple then strict middling with 1 1-16 inch staple would be worth 22.50 and in this manner the value of any other grade and staple can be calculated if the premium or discount is known" /"

COTTON GROWER SHOULD
 KNOW VALUE OF STAPLE

Every cotton grower should know the market value of his staple and he can do this only by familiarizing him. self with the factors which determine the grade or class of cotton, says E. A. Hodson, agent in Cotton Mar keting Demonstrations of the Agri- cultural Extension Division, Univer- sity of Arkansas.
 "The market grades of cotton are as follows: Middling fair, Strict Good Middling, Strict Middling, Mid ding, Strict Low Middling, Low Mid ding, Strict Good Ordinary and Good Ordinary.
 ..The price of cotton is based on Middling which represents about the average grade of cotton which goes on the market in any one season. The grades above middling demand a higher price than middling and like wise the grades middling sell for less than middling. The value of the grades above and below middIing is designated by so many points on or off. A point in the cotton market means HOO of a cent, therefore if strict middling is quoted at 100 points on it is worth 1c more than middling and likewise if strict low middling is quoted at 150 points off it is worth 1-2 cent less than middling.
 ''The factors which determine the grade middling, strict middling and others are first, color, second amount of trash and third, the character of the staple, that is whether or not it is free from notes, gin cuts fibers and So on. The color of cotton when it first opens is creamy white and if left in the field during rains it will absorb enough coloring matter from the bOlls and leaves to give it bluish cast which lowers the grade and likewise the value.
 Broken leaves and trash included with the cotton at picking will not be

PROPER PRUNING AIDS EFFI-
 CIENCY OF SPRAY

Fruit trees must be pruned proper ly in order that spraying may be done to advantage, and if the tree is pruned improperly, then the efficiency of the spray is decreased, according to c. Woosley, horticulturist of the Agri- cultural Extension Division, Univer- sity of Arkansas.
 If tree is not pruned and is bushy and thick then it is impossible to cov- CT the tree properly in the summer with spray material, points out MT. Woosley. However, improper prun- ing only increases the difficulty of spraying advantageously and decreas- es the chance for complete control of the coddling moth, scale and fungus diseases that affect fruit trees.
 Fruit growers should give their fective work in destroying pests by pruning their orchards properly. How pruning should be done will be shown by MT. Woosley in a series of prun- ing demonstrations over the state of Arkansas in the coming three months. MT. Woosley will hold a movable prun- ing school Orchards will be selected in different localities where the dem onstrations will be given. .eTools will be given to fruit growers interested in the work and they will be given first hand instruction and information in pruning.
 The orchards in each county where demonstrations will be given will be selected through the effort of the county farm agents who will assist Mir Woosley in preparing for the dem- onstrations. During the month of December the demonstrations will be held at various points in the north west section of the state but during January and February of next year the movable pruning school will be carried to every fruit section of the state.

WORTH LOOKING AFTER
Favors U. s. Development of Water
 Power of State to Irrigate Rice

Why not harness the rivers of Ar kansas, get cheap hydro electric pow CT for irrigation, and make Arkansas the greatest state in the Union?" asks Frank Foley of Giliett, rice grower.
 There is several hundred thousand horsepower energy in these rivers go- ing to waste that can easily be har- messed and made to run pumping cost that the rice farmers can raise rice at a profit under any and all con- ditions, and when this power is devel- oped it can be used eight months of the year for manufacturing purposes and for lighting and heating the ci- ties and towns of Arkansasand it will make Arkansas the greatest man. ufacturing as well as the greatest ag- ricultural state in the South. How can this be done?
 "Get your representatives in Con- gress to have Arkansas included in the reclamation act that irrigated the semi-arid states of the West and have the United States government do this work and prorate the initial cost on the two or three hundred thousand acres of rice land in the state; give the farmer 20 years to pay it back to the government, and then all the expense there will be to it will be the cost of maintenance, which would not be more than $2 per acre if the farm CT paid all, but the fact that the pow CT can be sold to manufacturing es- tablishments and cities and towns for eight months of the year will make it earn for itself more than the cost of maintenance for the entire year, and the rice farmer will forever have free power for irrigation, and all that it will cost is the initial cost or the cost of building the dams in the rivers and the cost of installing the electric ma chinery and running the wires from the generating power plant to the rice pumping plants With free pow CT for irrigation there is not state in the Union that can raise any grain crop and compete in price with the rice farmers of Arkansas.
 Cost of Irrigation
 1t costs about S2O per acre to wa ter the rice in Arkansas this season and as the price of fuel oil is contin- ually advancing and all fuel is ad- vancing, how long will it be until rice raising will be prohibitive on account of the cost of fuel? If it costs us $1 100000 a year to irrigate our rice crop we could in all probability have the whole system of dams and electric power and wiring completed for what il would cost us to water twos rice crops under the present system, and We could get 20 years to pay it if nee essary. To make it plain, the money 1t costs us to water two crops would give free power to the Arkansas rice farmers forever if we would get the government to do this work.
 '"This work would not only place the rice farmers in an independent
The Carlisle independent., 1920-12-02

position but it would make this one of the greatest corn and truck growing states in the Union, for with water for irrigation at practically nothing the soils of this state could be made to produce almost any grain and veg etable truck in such quantities that the Arkansas farmers could compete with the world.
 "Politice are over, for the present at least, and we must realize that the war is over and that the wartime prices have gone to stay and we must adjust our affairs to the new condi- tions as they exist. We cannot raise rice under existing high prices of fuel and labor and machinery and sell it at low price that is being paid for it at the present time. Then why not get together and formulate some plan to carry out this great project that will put us in a position to meet all conditions at all times?
The Carlisle independent., 1920-12-02
Opposes Private Control

s'If this work is left ito private en- terprise to develop, it may be years before it is developed, and when it is developed by corporation they will put the price of the power on par with the cost of oil or coal and neither the farmer nor the state of Arkansas will be the benefactor. The money lenders of the East will reap the ben efits that should by right belong to the state of Arkansas and it's people.
 "The fact that some private com panies are about to begin work or have already begun work on some of these projects is no reason nor bar to the government taking the work in i hand The government has taken over old irrigation projects in the mountain states and made them bet ter and paid the owners the estimated value of them and it could do the same in Arkansas should it be neces- sary. All the work that is already done, (if any) and all electric lines, etc, could be taken over by the gov ernment and paid for and no injustice need be done any one.
 ''ln conclusion 1 wish to state that 1 have neither the time nor the money to go over the rice district and advo- cate this project, so 1 will take this method of placing it before the rice farmers, and now Mr. Farmer, it is up to you to put the rice industry of Arkansas on a paying basis or let the rice industry be matter of history
 sThousands of acres of worthless lands were reclaimed in the mountain states by the Reclamation Act of 1902 and great deal of this land cannot be bought now for $500 per acre, and with free power for the irrigation Of these Arkansas lands the price would go above $500 per acre in less than five years.
 Irrigation of land in the mountain states transformed land from a wild and desolate waste into lands of the greatest production, into a veritable paradise, and if such results could be obtained under such adverse condi- tions, what could be accomplished in Arkansas, with it's natural conditions so favorable? After travelling over the Western states I wrote an arti- cle in 1894 advocating the irrigation

BASKET BALL TEAM
TO GET HARD WORK
UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO PLAYERS
WILL BE TRAINED HARD
NEXT WEEK

After having twice defeated the Uni
yersity OF Montana quintet in the week
just past and having lost singly bit
terly contested game to Washington
State college, the University of Idaho's
basket ball team, northwestern inter-
collegiate title-holder in 1919, this
week will be put through strenuous
course of training by Coach r. f.
Hutchinson in preparation for import
ant affrays scheduled for the first
week in February.
The illness of Elra Hunter, an all
northwest forward last season, had a
disastrous affect on Idaho's scoring
IN the games of the past week. Hunt
er is expected to regain his former
brilliancy before Coach Hutchinson's
basketeers meet another collegiate
rival.
Among the features of the seasons
opening contests was the capable
of Ernest Lindley, son OF
President e. H. Lindley, and captain
OF the Idaho team. Both in the W. S.
c. game and against Montana, Lindley
covered his entire end of the floor,
play after play that seemed
certain to result in fild goal.
Idaho students confidently expect
the local five to trounce Washington
State when the Cougars are met in
their own gymnasium.
