Something as to What the County
Laboratory is Doing.

Notwithstanding the fact that we
had TO contend with what seemed to
us to be unnecessary delays in ship
ment of equipment and supplies for
the laboratory, we were ready Co give
prompt service to the doctors by the
middle of January. AT about that
time we wrote Monroe county doc
tors telling them TO send us any hing
that is commonly sent to diaguostic
laboratory. 1t was understood that
sections, rabies and Wassermanns
would not be done by Us because of
the fact that guinea pigs, rabbits. etc
would have to be kept and because of
the further fact that but little of this
class of work would be needed We
did tell them. however, to send this
kind of work to us and we would get
1t to the State laboratory for them
and get report with the least pos
sible delay. Specimens began to come
in at once and in every case we have
phoned our findings within a few
hours. sometimes within few min

sure of this because the work Is in
creasing daily The doctors who
availed themselves of our service first

AS TO Half and Half Cotton.

Since the cotton planting sea-
son is about here, many farmers
are considering what variety of
cotton seed TO plant, some lean
ing towards planting the Half
and Half kind, because ii is claim
ed that that kind yields more
lint per acre than the longer
staple varieties. For the ben
eft of those who contemplate
planting cotton, we publish two
letters from the Ripley Sentinel,
which might enlighten some of
our farmer friends as TO what
variety of cotton seed to plant:
Ripley, Miss, Feb. %. 1922.
Secretary Agriculture.
Washington. d. G.
Dear Sir-If the Department of
Agriculture has made any statement
or recommendation as to Half and
Half cotton kindly let me know
what it is. Our farmers are plant
lnS ltldI NdIl0IN very largely anu
they are finding many buyers who
object to it on account of the short
staple. | want to get information
so that | may be able to advise the
farmers whether best to plant that
variety or some other.
Yours very truly.

Washington, ID. c.. March l 1922.
Mr. A. G. Anderson,
Editor Southern Sentinel.
Ripley, Miss.
Dear Sir: Your favor of Feb. %
relative to the planting of Half and
Half cotton has been received. Some
years ago this department did issue
a warming to farmers advising them
against planting cotton seed of va
rieties having exceptionally short |
lint. Under the United States Cot
ton Futures Act. cotton less than 7-S
of an inch in length of staple is not
tenderable on contracts. moreover,

such extra short staples can be used
only in the manufacture of inferior
grades of yarn and cloth. The va
riety known as Half and Half" is
one of the varieties the lint of which
is generally so short as to very ma
terially limit its adaptability for
spinning purposes
In recent years considerable cot
ton has been found on some inter
Tor markets. the length of staple of
which is shorter than that desired
by the majority of the spinning mills.
This has caused these mills and the
larger cotton merchants and brokers
buyers Of cotton to be on the look
out for such cotton and to severely
penaliZe it; in some sections total
rejection of such cotton has been
recommended by cotton dealers.
1t is true that buyers frequently
ton especially when but few of such
bales are produced in a community,
but the influence on the community
is soon reflected In the average price
paid and sooner or later that local
market will establish for itself a poor
among the cotton trade,
to overcome which. will require the
production of superior varieties for
years.
We regret very much that we have
no copies of the warnings issued by
this department above referred to.
Very truly yours,
