SHOW BENEFITS OF
ONE VARIETY CROP

AS conditions now exist In many
parts of the cotton belt, farmers find
it next TO impossible to maintain
superior staple for more than two or
three years. The principal reason for
this is the general custom of grow
ing a number of varieties in the same
locality and ginning the crop at pub
lie gins, where it is almost certain
that seed will be mixed. Modern
ginning equipment has increased this
difficulty. There is also mixing by
flying insects when different varie
tiessare grown in adjacent fields and
in the same field as a result of mix
ing of seed at the public gins.
The premium that is paid for cot
ton of uniform quality and length of
fiber, says department circular 205,
Mixing OF Cotton Seed by Modern
Ginning Equipment just issued by
the United states department of ag-
riculture, more than pays for the
trouble of keeping seed stock pure.
Modern gins as commonly operated
mix the seed to the extent of about
26 per cent in the first bale run
through following the ginning Of an
other variety. The seed from the.
second and even the third bale re-
ceives some admiXture. The only
ginning is done in the ordinary man
ner is to keep it from going through
the conveyors and to clean the rest
of the equipment thoroughly, col
lecting the seed under the gin stands
and sacking it at once.
The most practical way OF MAIN
tanning pure seed supplies, says the
circular, is for farmers to unite upon
a single variety. so that only one
kind of seed will be handled at the
gin. The most effective method for
avoiding mixing and the resulting
deterioration of cotton is the organi-
Zation of one variety communities.
The value of such communities has
already been demonstrated in the
Salt River valley of Arizona, where
the Pima variety of Egyptian cotton
is grown exclusively.
The circular may be obtained by
addressing the department Of agri-
culture at washington, d. c.

DE VALERA CAUSES CLASH
 IN THE DAHL EIREANN


 Dublin, March 1 (By the A P0.- Numerous clashes occurred again in the Dali Eireann today. the feeling running high. Mir De Valera continued to press for recognition of the DsHs supremacy, but the ministers of the provisional gov ernment held firmly that they were su- preme, and responsible only to the Irish people.
 Divisions continue to show there is no doubt that Griffith is in control. Ob- servers expressed the opinion tonight that the net res1t of the two days de- bate has been to strengthen the hands of the provisional government and in- crease public confidence in their ability to handle the situation.
 In the course of a long bate on the election machinery, Mir. Griffith main tained his determination to hold the cleo tons as planned. three months hence, and on the old register.
 The members of the provisional gov ernment displayed intense impaitence at the tedious debates. which they call an appalling waste of time. They have much work to do in connection with getting the Free State established, and are eager to get on with it. Mir. Collins, on ad. jourrment, bitterly reproached his oppo- nents for failing to submit a single con structive idea.
 The finance minister's feats of endur. ance amaze his associates; he works | daily until or 3 o'clock in the morning getting only four or five hours sleep The nature of the work of the provision. al ministers, Mir. Collins informed Tn. Associated Press correspondent, was sc complicated and deNcate that it could no be delegates to subordinates

THREAT OF RESIGNATION
 BY PREMIER LLOYD GEORGE

London March (By the A. P).- Premier Lloyd George has thus far made no public threat to resign, but he has done so definitely to Austin Chamberlain and other unionist leaders His action is in the nature of a protest against the tactics that have been employed to un- dermine his power in the coalition and in parliament.
 If tho. prime minister presents his res ignation. 1t will merely be a personal resignation. and not the resignation of the government
 The prime minister's threat of resIg- nation has been the political sensa ton of the day Hints of Mir. Lloyd Georges resignation have been current ever since Sir George Younger, head of the con- servative party organization, engineered a revolt of some fifty "die-hard" Tories against the premier during the latter's absence at the Cannes meeting.
 one outcome Of that revolt was a prac- tical split in the coalition, and public abandonment of the so-called coupon sys- tenn, under which heretofore candidates, whether conservative or liberal, entered the electoral contests under united banner.
 Lord Birkenhead, who perhaps is the most powerful member of the conserva. llVe party, and Austin Chamberlain re- mained loyal to the premier Birkenhead in pubic speeches denounced the tactics of Sir George Younger.
 few days ago the prime minister had frank talk with A. J. Balfour and Mir. Chamberlain. placing the situation plainly before thens and it's result has been communicated by MT. Lloyd George formally to MT. Chamberlain, who is the nominal leader of the conservative party According to the report. the prime min. isters ultimatum Is that either he oI Younger must go and the ultimatum is final.

 Most of their accessions the ''lrreconcr- - able" leaders expect to recruit ron fhs ranks of the democrats. many Of whom have not yet definitely committed theu- selves regarding the four-power treafy. In this connection they pointed out to- night that Senator Underwood had failed to hold majority of his colleagues iI | line for the Tap treaty. while the bloa regarded as followers of former PTssi- dent Wilson had voted almost soIldiy against ratification.
