The most notable feature of the
business sessions devoted to the work
of the branches was the gripping re-
cital of conditions in Shreveport, La,
by DR.. H. C. Hudson. DR.. Hudson
related how the chief of police and
the sheriff interrupted a dance in
honor of the state medical associa-
tion and demanded William Pickens,
who had been expected to attend, but
who was delayed and finally warned
away. To belong to the Association
in Shreveport is courting bodily
harm and possible death, DR.. Hudson
said.

variety when definite advantage can be shown and seed can be obtained in sufficient quality The Pima variety was substituted for the Yuma in the Salt River Valley of Arizona in the season of 1917, after sufficient stock of seed had been raised 10 plant the entire area
 A number of one variety commun- ities have been established. particular ly in the Southwestern states. The oldest and best known is in the Salt River Valley of Arizona. where the Pima variety of Egyptian cotton k grown exclusively There are also a numh.i of Meade cotton communities in Southern Gcorgia. and Durango comnu ties ill the Imperial and Per riS Valleys of Southern California, the Pecos Valley in New Mexico and the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas. Acala has been eXtensivell planted by communities in Oklahoma and Texas and there are centers of Lone Star seed production around Greenville and Corpus Christi, Texas
 The experience of these one-variety communities has demonstrated the practical value of hte plan and the importance of extending it through 
 out the South. It has been very eff fective in increasing the supply of pure seed of superior varieties. The dis tribution of pure seed does not result in any general improvement i'll pro duction unless the seed are kept pure and produced in large lots. No other way has been devised to develop and maintain adequate supplies of pure seed except through one-variety com munitieS. where the mixing of seed at the gin and the crossing of varieties in the field is avoided
 Not only does the one-variety com munity make possible the production of adequate supplies of pure seed, but il brings about better cultural methods
The Nevada County picayune., 1923-03-29

This is especially true in regard to measures aimed at the destruction of the boil weevil If the community will cooperate in the planting of one. variety. it will co operate in a fall blowing camapign II will arrange to plant at about the same time, and there will he more cotton squares dur ing the square making time than the wceyil can puncture.
 When all the farmers of the con- munity plant the same variety, the competitive spirit of the farmer is stimulated He knows that hc can't Us the variety as an alibi for poor farming that the results he obtains in growing a crop will come ,u direct comparison with those ui his .Ielgh- bors and will depend largely on his ability To handle the crop skilltully.
 II has been shown frequently that the chance of securing large lot of one superior kind of cotton is an at traction to the outside buyer, and that there is an active demand for the uni- form lots of one-variety communities. Even i'll advance of community organ iZationS. we had evidence that the sec tion which grew fairly uniform crop of cotton held an advantage over sec tions in which all sorts of cotton were produced. The general popularity of big boil cottons in Texas has kept the crop of that state more uniform than is the case with the cotton of other states. and this has given Texas an appreciable market advantage over other parts of the Cotton Belt.
 The adoption of one variety by gin communities would add approximately 10 per cent 10 the yield and there would be equally as great a gain in quality Bearing this in mind, q care | ful consideration of the one-variety plan should be given by all communi- 'ties which are interested in the im- provement of the cotton industry.

Every Woman Her Own Repairman!

Oil cans deserve talk by them
selves, but suffice that I put down
an oil can at the head Of the list
as being more important really
than any other tool in keeping
modern appliances in running
order. Two cans are better than
one, the first to hold light ma
chine oil such as suitable for sew
ing machines, and the other a
heavier oil or medium A" re-
quired by all power appliances.
The spout should be curved for
greater convenience in reaching,
and il it ID flexible also, still more
will be gained in convenience in
reaching and oiling lower and
often inaccessible oil holes
The familiar. small tack hammer
with the claw at one end is really
not heavy enough. A good ham
mer should be moderately heavy,
it should have balance and striking
power.
Probably the third most useful
article ID screw-driver which con-
sists Of three partsthe blade
which should always be of fine
tempered steel, the handle of
wood, and the ferrule or short
metal part which connects blade
and handle. The blade must have
a tapering tip to enable it to
adjust to screws Of different size.
The handle is best made fiuted so
that it can be more readily grasped
and held, and SO that it will not
easily roll off any surface IN which
it is laid. It is better to have two,
yes, even three sizes, as it is inn
possible to do delicat. work, such as
on the screws in sewing machines
and other appliances, with the same
tool required for screwing bolts or.
hinges on doors, etc.
The fourth tool will undoubtedly
be a wrench, or wrenches, since
they are Of two different tvnes for
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-02-04

found in cheap" tools. Since we
expect the hammer or the wrench
to give as years of use, let us be
willing to pay fair price. It will
mean the difference between q
screwdriver that will actually en-
able US to successfully tackle a
long screw in hard wood, and the
tool which will bend or come out
of the handle when pressure is
applied to it.
Women require tools of moderate
size, those that are convenient to
hold and use. But still not dainty,
diminutive and almost useless
tools-if a nail must be hammered
in it will require just as heavy
and well-made hammer when a
woman drives it in, as if the work
were done by q man. Next, and
very important, good tools need
good care. The best blade will
not do good work if banged about
or blunted. Even the hammer will
not drive in "true" if little Willie
Is allowed to use it literally.
This means that the house
keeper must nnd some SpeClaI
place to keep them. Possibly this
would be q small regular tool-box
such as costs little, or home made
one, or one that "Big Brother"
could make in his manual training
class at school. In one home q
window seat was found to be a
convenient and readily accessible
place, in another q kind of rack
in the back hall, fitted with straps
of leather, gave the desirable
"place for everything" and every
thing in its place." But some one
definite and well known location
for the household tools must
provided, If we are to save time
from asking and searching, where
is the hammer" Didn't ! just
use the wrench the other day,
where can it have gone tot"
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-02-04
IVES there a woman who can

r IVES there q woman who can
drive q nail straight? Does
the housekeeper now know
the difference between a monkey
wrench and . Stillson? Only a
few years ago any person could
easily have proved that all girl
babies are born with an egg beater
and q package of needles in their
cradle and that women don't
understand machinery"
But to-day we can be sure that
many things have changed the
situation. In the first place public
opinion has really changed, and
whereas it was once not considered
"lady-like" for women to hammer
or do any Of the jobs Of men,
women are now experts in many
lines Of mechanics-paint smoke
stacks or oil engines for a living,
and operate lathes, printing presses
and drive autos by the thousand.
The war too, had q great influence
in teaching women more about the
use of tools because they replaced
men in so many industries where
complicated mechanical installa-
tions had formerly been operated
only by men.
And so it is my plan in our next
few talks to take up the operation
and care Of several familiar labor
savers which require certain
amount Of mechanical knowledge,
and see If together, we cannot
understand them more fully, and
thus make them last longer and
give US better usefulness.
Every housekeeper should have
a set Of simple tools or exit" Of her
very own! Let me say right here
that many of US mistakenly buy
cheap or 10 cent store tools and
expect them to give us good
service. Good steel and lhighgrade

two entirely different kinds of
purposes. There is first, what we
call monkey wrench" THIS is
specially made to adjust to nuts
and bolts of different size and to
screw them tighter. For example,
there is often tiny nut and screw
which holds tight the knob of a
pot lid. Here we can easily
tighten the nut and hence make
the knob firm by turning the nut
with the thumb and fingers of the
hand. But with more complicated
mechanisms than pot lids we need
more force than fingers, and must
use monkey wrench to turn and
tighten any square nut or bolt such
as is found on valves, on the burn
ers of an oil stove, etc.
There is a second type what is
called a ''pipe wrench or "Stillson
wrench" specially adapted to
screw or tighten rounded surfaces
like a pipe or some kinds of valves.
Here the jaws of the> wrench are
ridged so as to grasp firmly the
slippery surface of the pipe which
It IS desired to turn. This pipe
wrench is essential in every house
hold because it is the only one
which can be used on so many
plumbing fixtures, to turn water
on and off, to adjust faucets, etc.
So far we have taken up oil can,
hammer, screw-driver and wrench
almost a complete kit already.
Next week we will talk about how
to use these tools on such uni
versal mechanism as the sewing
machine, whether it be hand or
electric, in order to make it serve
as long and usefully.
