WHY NOT GROW
STAPLE COTTON

Clemson College, March 81
The length of staple plays at impor,
tant part in determining the price
Of cotton, and for this reason the
long staple varities of cotton bring
a better price than do the short
staple. 1t is natural that this should
be the case since the longer the
staple, other things being equal, the
better the grade Of cloththat can be
produced. However the" long staple
varieties have not had the populari.
ty that the short staples have had
due in main to the fact that the long
staple varieties which were formerly
grown gave poor yields of seed cot
ton. ....
This defect of the long staple
varieties is now beng overcome by
the breeding methods employed by
some of our best seedsmen. In the
past few years varieties of long
staple cotton have been produced
whose yields Of seed cotton compare
favorably with some of the popular
short staple varieties, says G. n.
Ceilings, assistant agronomist. For
instance in the 1920 cotton variety

" TAX PENRoSE SAYS

Washington, April IA general
sealing down of all income taxes
With reductions in the levy on small
7nesmes as we'll, as the heavy sur
fxnes ON large earnings, was presag-
"a today by Senator Penrose, Of
Feansyfvania, chairman of the SEN
sse finance committee. Senator PEN
1sse outlined the plans for revenue

Eress will be called to act at the
( speeisl session beginning April II.
The Senator declared that he hope
/, Dat the finance committee would be
as,e 10 begin the. preparation Of the

The plan, he said, is to draft these

legislation will be ready for con-
sress as soon as the tariff is out Of

While still in a formulative stage,
Senator Penrose asserted that the

Ills is the point which is deter

revenue. q
In the old days." the Pennsyl-
sania Senator asserted, "the collec-
fisn point, notably in taxes on whis-
Eeys was figured out almost. to
1izthematical exactitude. It has be-
eame evident that there is collec-'
tam point in income taxation be-
ysnd which, it was argued, less reve-.
me will be obtained under higher

{; From this standpoint, the situa-
1 Tim is especially true in relation to
tbc excess profits tax and the heavy

essred. The temptation to hide

Why DO We Taste Things!

When We speak of the sense Of
taste" We think at once Of the tongue.
for here is the seat Of the principal
nerves al taste. though some OF these
lie in the palate and the upper portion
OF the throat. transmitting the sensa-
tion which we call taste" directly 70
the brain ana registering an impress
sion there precisely as sound or pain
register
But. in order 10 be apparent. the OBJ
ject tasted must be al least partially
dissolved either in water or in thy
natural fluid saliva--secreted by the
glands of the mouth, for even sub
stances with marked tastes snch as
salt or quinine will not make the
taste impression" upon the brain un-
less applied in the form of solution to
the nerve OF the tongue or throat.
Moreover. these nerves are not regu-
larly distributed through the mouth,
but are closer together al the tip o.
the tongue and at the hack than they
are at the center and the sides. 1t Is
for this reason that pin. which would
ordinarily taste bitter. may be swal
lowed with com paratveIy little annoy
ance If placed in the center of the
tongue and washed down so quickly
that il has no time TO dissolve before
passing the nest of taste-nerves al
the back of the tongue.
The difference in taste noticeable
in different kinds of substances is due
to the effect which these solutions
have upon the brain cells which con-
troll our nerve-reactions, just as sounds
have varying intensities and the nerves
of feeling indicate different degrees
of pain or pleasure. Taste, indeed, is
very closely akin TO another sense
that Of smell-for the aroma of .slans
things which we eat blends itself with
the taste and a cold or anything else
which effects our sense of smell will
instantly cause things to appear to
assume a different taste.
