It must be remembered too that in the budget OF
both those years the ordinary receipts
ury have been drawn upon to reduce the public debt
some ss75,oOOOoe. Were it not for those payments,
the receipts would exceed the expenditures in each
case.
stil another feature the Federal financial situa-
that must borne in mind is the voluntary reduc-
ton Of revenues by about 100000 900 made by the
Republican Congress the passage OF the internal
revenue law.
Had the old law remained the statute books and
attempt been made to apply receipts debt hqui-
dation, surplus OF billion dollars would have

ley demanded that the tax burden be nshtened. and
reductions OF the public debt be lnaugu-

Boil Wecyil Exhibit

The Oklahoma State Fair & Ex-
position and the Oklahoma Cotton
Growers Association will cooperate at
Oklahoma City from September % to
30 to show farmers of Oklahoma how
to rid their fields of the dreaded cot
ton boll weevil.
The association will have a large
booth containing an extensive cXhi-
bit.
1t is probable the exhibit will in
clude a boil weevil drag. such as is
recommended by the State Board of
Agriculture. as well as photographs
showing the calcium arsenate method
of control.
Wilmarth is planning also to have
an exhibit showing cause of damage
of cotton by growers and ginners, re-
sulting in lower price for the sta
pie when sent to the mill.
1t is possible that miniature mill
ing exhibit, showing the actual cotton
spinning process, will be arranged.

The crop weather news of the past

Department of Agriculture by spin
ming mills. In discussing these COM
plants, cotton specialists of the de-
partment made the following state
ment:
A very little oil will spread very
quickly through a considerable
amount of cotton and make it practi-
cally worthless. Moreover, oil-soakcd
cotton causes great damage dhen it
get into the cards and other spin
ming machinery.
Some of the samples of American
cotton sent from Manchester. Eng
land. show oil-soakcd cotton found
IN the interior of bales. Such dam
age probably resulted from careless
mes in the oiling of ginning, tramp
ing, or comprcssing machinery.
Other samples show an incxcu-
sable amount of oily cotton on the
side. of the bales. This kind of
damage doubtless is caused by care
Ieosnrss in handling the bales. such as
rolling them over oiled streets or plat
forms, and storing them in oily-soak-
cd railroad cars or vessels.
Practices which result in damage
to cotton will lead in time to the Gus
tom of assessing regular penalties
against all cotton originating at the
point from which shipments of such
damaged cotton are made"
