an increase over that for 1888 by
approximately 200 students and

Picks and shoyels to supply
hundreds of men were received
via the ferry route last night for
use by workers of the FERA in
Key West.
For some time there has been
a shortage of these necessary inn
plements and many workers were
supplying their own tools. Now
there will be plenty of utensils with
which to carry on every kind of
program, says w. E. Hardness,
state purchasing agent, who is in
Key West to complete the set-up
for local handling of purchases.
Just when the trucks are due
has not been definitely stated but
as soon as they arrive the cleanup

Work is going to be the slogan
in Key West from now on and as
there are plenty of idle hands
there is going to be found plenty
of work for these idle hands to do.

Chiefly because he neglected
to issue directions with his
device to reduce electric cur
rent bills, c. w. Patton was
sentenced to serve six months
in the county Jail.
Patton pleaded guilty to
tampering with an electric
meter by connecting device,
which he told the court he
manufactured for So and
sold for $40, that reversed
the polarity and caused the
meters to run backwards.
His arrest came after the
user of the device had left it
connected too long and the
monthly reading showed the
power company owed the con-
sumner $5.-Exchange.

along certain lines they will be
used only until such time as local
people can be found to replace
them.
This statement brought forth a
spontaneous round Of applause
from the audience, which was
composed Of more than 200 citi-
zens from different spheres of
life, representing the professions
and the working classes, and in
termediate occupations.
Touching lightly on the sani-
tary condition of the city, the adj
ministrator said these problems
did not present so many Difficult
ties and he was confident they
could be easily and readily over
come.
What did need a great deal of
thought and expert analysis were
public utilities and transportation.
The latter especially, Mr.. Duncan
stated, was in dickens of a state
and will be one of the shortcOm-
ings to receive immediate atten-
ton.
There will be sufficient work
when the program gets fairly
started and under way, the clean
up campaign successful and public
utility matters Strengthened out to
provide work for all in Key West.
However, it will be necessary, and
this was impressively accented,
that all jewellers on the island must
lend their efforts to bringing
about perfect results to the idea
of rehabilitation.
What must be done and will be,
with the right kind of concerted
cooperation, is to make Key West
a place for tourists to come.
Once they are here there should
be a sufficient variety of interest
and entertainment to hold them
here and this can be added to by
telling all the good things and for
getting to mention those which are
uninteresting.

Cotton Staple
Is Needed In State

Raleigh-North Carolina mills
use approximately one and one-half
million bales of cotton each year,
and of this amount one million bales
is 1916 inch or longer.
"North Carolina farmers should
grow the types in greatest demand
by the mills instead of having to
export our cotton or ship it to
other states" says P. H. Kline, as
sociate agronomist of the North
Carolina Experiment Station.
"There was a time when the mills
using the better staple lengths did
not want our cotton. 1t was short,
and irregular in length and quality.
Much improvement has been made
in both the length and quality dur
ing the past few years and a much
stronger mill demand for home
grown cotton has been the results
Some mills now express a prefer
ence for North Carolina cotton"
During the past six years, the
Bureau Of Agricultural Economies
of the United States Department CT
Agriculture has been cooperating
with the North Carolina Agricul-
tural Experiment Station in secur-
ing information on the grade and.
staple length Of cotton grown in
the State.
Both these studies and COM
munity surveys show a definite i'm
provement in the staple length Of
the cotton produced in each of the
important cotton counties in the
State between 1923 and 1892
When reports for the last two years
are compared, however, it is seen
that in most counties there was al
decrease in the percentages of the
better staple in 1888 as compared
with 1882. Comparative figures
from one community in Rowan
County show the following: In
1882 % percent of the cotton
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1934-02-16

measured less than z-S, 2S.2 per
cent 7-S, and 74.8 percent 1916 OF
longer. In 1888 these percentages
were IS, 4o.5, and 5S.s for the
same staple lengths, respectively.
In other words there was a decrease
of 15.9 percent in cotton stapling
1916 inch or longer and a CORES
ponding increase in the 7-S inch
and shorter cottons.
"Probably more than one factor
contributed to this change" Mr.
Kline says, "but all available evil
dence has shown that the seed used
is the biggest factor. Cotton has
been so cheap and money SO scarce
during the past two or three years
that there has been very little re-
newal of planting seed, and the sup
ply on most farms has deteriorated.
"With only 50 percent of our
normal acreage in cotton it is
important that definite
steps be taken to standardize on
varieties that produce 1916 inch
or better staple. There is not a
supply of reliable seed
available to do this at once, but by
planning now the necessary supply
can be provided in 1885 or 1886.
"To provide for such a supply
it is suggested that at least one per-
cent of the county's cotton acreage
be planted with registered or pedi-
greed seed of an approved variety
and chat the seed produced be Ger
titled. This would supply certi-
fled seed for 10 to IS percent of
the acreage the second year and
seed one year from GER
lifted source for the entire county

that there will be another
(great European war in the not far
distant future. The friction be-
tween France and Germany, instead
of subsiding, seems to be growing
Igreater. The longer time Germany
has to get ready, the more certain
it is that she will again try to as
sert her equality with her ancient
enemy. Once France gets en-
broiled in the North with Germany,
those who watch such things say,
Italy will be on frances tail in the
South. Italy wants to recover the
Mediterranean coast now held by
France. Germany wants to recover
the Saar Basin, where the iron
mines are.
Central and Eastern Europe are
in a ferment. Austria is putting
up a gallant struggle against tn
invasion of Nazi propaganda from
Germany, which is designed to
bring Austria under the German
flag. Italy, on Austria's South, is
watching, and many believe that
Hitler and Mussolini may soon be
at war.
Over in Asia, Japan and Russia
are growing at each other across
the Manchurian border Both sides
openly admit the possibility of war.
Both Russia and Japan are trying
to undermine England's influence
in India and Persia. China is still
trying to maintain some sort of an
effective National government,
largely with the help of the British,
but the Chinese people have been for|
years the victims of one armed force|
after another. Several nations of
America are still in a state
of war with their neighbors.
Rejecting On these things, we
realize that we are lucky in having
peaceful neighbors. If we were

vous about the intentions of Mexico
we might feel ourselves as badly off

HUNTING N FISHING

There has been a great revival
of interest in hunting and fishing
and outdoor life and sports gener-
ally in the past few years. The
movement for the protection of wild
game, by limiting the hunting sea-
son and extending the cover of for
est and brake in which they live
and breed, has received a great deal
of encouragement from President
Roosevelt's reforestation program.
There seems little doubt that the
Civilian Conservation Camp move
ment will result in developing in
many thousands of young men not
only a taste for outdoor life, which
they will strive hereafter to crafty,
but an intimate knowledge of
woodcraft and the ways OF the
.feathered denizens of the woods.
!, 1t is the dream of those who arc
most active in promoting the idea
that some day all the poor farm
land in the nation will again be-
come a cover for game, Or at least
so much of it is not turned into
lumber-producing forest. Prob
ably. that dream will never be full
ly realized; dreams seldom are. But
it is certainly true that a high per-
centage of so-called agriculture
land is fit for nothing but a refuge
for wild animals and birds. Nor
is it necessarily Improbable to let
! the brambles and brush overrun
such unproductive Ian ]. In many
parts of the country farmers are
, getting a revenue from the sale Of
shooting permits over their aad,
and that idea is receiving a great
deal of impetus and encouragement
The American Game Association
estimates that approximately T.
;; 100000 men take out hunting IL

}, year, while more than ten million
are interested in fishing. If the
