DAVIS USES FoRCEFUL
LANGUAGE AT SEAGIRT

SEAGIRT, N. j., August 22.-
After taking an intensive course in
campaign oratory from his man
ayers, John w. Davis, Democratic
presidential candidate, injected
more forceful language into his
speech delivered at Seagirt, before
a big gathering of New Jersey DEM
ocrats today.
Although Davis sought to notify
the treat 'em rough" slogan given
him by Governor All Smith the first
draft of his speech is said to have
failed to satisfy his managers. So
he endeavored more closely to fol-
low their suggestions.
Until he delivered his acceptance
speech at Clarksburg, w. Va, Da-
Wis had not made a political speech
for dozen years. His managers
hailed that speech as a masterpiece
of logic and polished rhetoric but
they told him frankly that when he
gets on the stump he must have
more appeal to the heart and less to
the mind if he is to become a pop
ular candidate.
Immediately after his labor day
speech at Wheeling, w. Va, Davis
will swing on through the west in
L.
his first invasion which is expected
to carry him as far as Denver. The
Democrats have high hopes of
electing two senators from Colo
RADIO and are making an intensive
fight in the state.

MARSHALL TELLS HOW
TO PICK COTTON CROP
Advises Growers to Be Careful
to Preserve Grade By Keep
ing Staple Thoroughly Clean

George 0. Marshall, county farm
demonstration agent, is interested
lin having Sumter county farmers
market the highest grade cotton pos
sible from their fields this fall. This
can best be done, according to Mar
shall by keeping cottonthoroughly
cleaned and separating all mildew-
ed staple and cotton picked from
half-rotten bolls from the good cot
ton.
"The value of cotton" said Mar
shall today, lis determined primarily
by its grade. Grade is affected by
the amount of leaf, dirt, and other
extraneous matter, color of fibre
and the manner in which the cotton
is handled in the fields and through
the gins.
Growers should see that their
cotton is carefully picked and kept
as free as possible from trash and
dirt. Widowed or half rotten bolls
should not be picked and put in with
good cotton. Pickers should not be
allowed to gather cotton off the
ground and put in with good cotton.
If there is much cotton on the
ground or widowed, half rotten, or
otherwise of poor character, it
should be separately handled and
put in separate bags.
st is better to make one small
bale of low grade cotton than to
spoil whole crop by mixing in a
little bad with the good. If even a
small quantity of low grade cotton
is found in a bale of otherwise
good cotton, the whole bale is likely
to be classed as if it were all low
grade cotton
Cotton should not be picked too
soon after a rain or too early after
"a heavy dew. Ordinarily it is best
to have the picking bags emptied on
sheets in the sun so that the cotton
can dry out before it is ginned.
Seed cotton should not be stored IN
contact with the ground or on conf
crete floor because moisture in the
grounds or in the floors will be soak
ed up by the cotton on the bottom
and may damage the whole lot when
it is ginned.
"Seed cotton should be under
shelter and, if possible, on a wooden
floor off the ground. II the COT
ton is dry, the ginning is faciIitat-
ed and the grade and the character
of the cotton are better. The gin
ming of damp cotton is the principal
cause of what is known TO the trade
as gin-cut, and the dampness isl
likely to result in deterioration Of
the staple after it has been baled.
Gwen if only a small portion CT
the seed cotton is damp, if it is al
lowed to go through the gin with
good cotton it may give the whole
lot the appearance of being poorer
in character than it really is.
Careful attention to these mat
tiers means dollars The selling
price of the cotton"
