Colonies and the Orient coming here
and spending their good money IN
your hotels TO see where the Pima
cotton long staple is grown. So get
busy Mr.. Cotton Grower and grow
more acreage of the Pima cotton long
staple TO supply your future buyers
with. Get down to business and stop
all this argument and decide for all
time only one type of cotton known
as the Pima cotton long staple. Who
wants the short staple cotton? Who
wants the short ends of flax? Did
you ever hear the story of how the
linen manufacturers experimental
with the short ends (short staple) OF
the flax (linen) in Scotland, in Eng
land, in Ireland by making damask
cloths that were always used for
coarse toweling, etc. etc, into slightly
looking table cloths. How they got
busy and boiled and boiled the yarns
short ends of flax to make the yarn
finer, spun it and made damask
cloths and then bleached them in
Scotland because the water, and for
other reasons Scotland is more suit
able as no linen can be truly
bleached in England. Linen is also
bleached in Belfast. Ireland, and
there are many bleacheries in Ire
land
We'll, to make a long story short
err, these slightly looking damask
table cloths and napkins were
grabbed up because of the cheaper
prices than the good double damask
made of long staple were. They were
sent to the London market and 1 was
one of the first buyers to place or
ders of this brand in immense guam
tities-an experiment. Result was,
general kick from the British adj
miralty and the civil service to the
everyday housewife how poorly they
did wear. OF course they didn't wear.
They were persisted before they were
placed on the market. The yarn was
perished~ in the boiling.
This is a parallel case. The larger
the staple the better it will wear and
hence the greater demand for higher
grade of cotton and linen. Don't
commercialize your long staple Pima
4 mean keep up the standard. Buy
ers won't buy short staple unless
they hove to. Don't strangle your
Pima cotton long staple in its in
fancy. It's a dangerous experiment
to spot your wonderful valley in Ari-
iona with short staple. Please don't
do it. And if there is no politics i
the cotton game leave well enough
alone-leave it to impartial experts
who have your interests at heart.
This cross breeding. like all cross
breeding and nbreeding, will pro-
duce inferior cotton and will be a
drug in the market and no prices,
| and you will have no lasting market,
while they will continue to go to
Egypt for their finer grade. !.
Many years ago l had wonderful
| dog; it was certainly q beautiful
| creature. 1 decided to take it to
/ Hoo
show, hoping to get the highest
| award. Instead I received the third
award, James Mortimer the greatest
/ living authority on dogs at that time
was the judge. And. by the way,
was a guest of his in his beautiful
Long Island home. He said, Mr.
Kendall, the reason you didn't receive
| from me the highest award for your
| dog was because she is inbred
| This is another parallel case re-
garding the long and short and mix
| ing breeds staple. Don't go in foI
cross breeding. You will receive the
third award instead of the first. This
argument about the dog and the cot
| ton is the same thing, only a little
different. The important difference
between the Pima and the Yuma va
rieties are that the Pima long staple
| has a whittier color and a Longer
staple.
an conclusion by way of paren.
thesis would say that in France they
make up the handkerchiefs and othel
| soft materials of the finest Egyptian
grown cotton-long staple of course
The fabric is so sheer in texture and
so beautifully soft with sheen tina
it is often mistaken for the pure
| sheer linen. The wealthy American:
and other nationalities not knowins
the difference buy these handker-
chiefs and soft materials, thinking
