 To secure the desired information. Pro- lessor Cauthen is now making arrange ments with the experiment stations in other southern states to plant about five of the leading varieties of cotton in diff ferent states under different conditions and have each test plot picked and the cotton judged by an expert grader from the department of agriculture at Wash ington in order to determine the effects of different climates, soils and eleva- ton on the staple produced. Farme; $, cotton buyers, spinners and others will await with much interest the announc .- ment of the results of this experiment which will be made sometime next fall.
