Improvement In Cotton
Production BY Cooperation

'1ific. The Lone Star variety produces
under favorable conditions, 1 1.8 inch
staple, the Acala variety / 3-16 inch,
! the Columbia and Durango / Ia inch.
In carefully conducted tests these va
lrieties have often outyielded other
sorts with much shorter fiber. Even
the Meade cotton, producing / 5-S
10 | 3-4 inch staple of Sea Island
quality, yields as much as some of
the snort staple varieties that are
grown in the same districts in Geor-
gia and South Carolina.
With such varieties available, no
agricultural reasons can be alleged
for continuing to produce cotton Of
less than inch staple in the United
Gt2tcs, nor do there appear to be any
industrial or general economic reas-
ons for holding to the short and infer
ior fiber that still forms large pro-
portion of the American cotton crop.
The range of adaptive possibilities
is yrikingiy shown when a new type
Of cotton, distinct from any formerly
grown in the United States, is able
to thrive under many different condi-
tions in widely separated regions.
Thus, the Durango, new Upland cot
ton, introduced only a few years ago
from Mexico and acclimatized in Tex
as, has shown it's ability to produce
large crops of good fiber over almost
the entire range of cotton cultivation
IN the United States. The Acala cot
ton, more recently acclimatized from
southern Mexico, is even more resis-
tant to extremes of dry weather and
to short-season conditions. The wide
range Of adaptations shows that pro-
ductior may be standardized on the
basis of a few important commercial
types.
The cultivation of Sea Island cotton
in the Southeastern States has been
abandoned in the last few years be-
cause too long q season is required to
produce q crop, which means extra
exposure to weevil injury. A new
long staple Upland variety, called
Meade, with fiber remarkable similar
to Sea Island cotton in quality and
length of staple, and yielding two or
three times as much under weevil
is replacing the Sea Island
tyre in Georgia and South Carolina.

CONSCIENCE STRICKEN PAY
S. P. SILICA

Folks with ingrowing consciences
prove valuable to the Southern Paci
fic company. They nave contributed
$1,164.67 in the past several years,
C. W. Runge, division freight and
passenger agent announced here to-
day.
The contributions came from sboth
patrons and employees of the com
pany. A Bakersfield resident sent in
$1.53 to cover additional amount due
the railroad as the result of his 49,
year-old boy riding from Fresno 10
Bakersfield on a half fare ticket. An
employe in Los Angeles refunded
$5.l3 he received as result of over
charges on his expense account.
Three one-cent stamps were re-
ceived from one man who unknow-
ingly rode free from Melrose to
Havensc0urt on the Southern Pacific
line. A woman sent $50 because her
conscience troubled her after she
had allowed her six-year-old child to
ride free from Missoula, Mont, to
San Diego, Cal, and return.
From Portland, Ore, 80 cents was
contributed by a man who said he

by the company, into the Marys river

A number of men who have had

bursed the company. Many contribu-
tors to the conscience fund" said
they were squaring their accounts
with the company because they had
been converted through the efforts of
religious workers.
