Farmers of State
Show Progress In
Improving Cotton

College Station, Raleigh, June 49,
-North Carolina farmers have made
remarkable progress ;;incc 1913 IN
the Improvement ia the staple langth
Of their cotton, it is rcve;1ed Ny
study made by the North Carolina
Agricultural Experiment Station of
State College, ii cooperation with
the u. S. Bureau of Agricultural
Economics. d ring the period, 1923
to. 1896, the DIV ~4age length increased
from 14.G9-siXteenth inch to slight
ly more than one incn
The study was made by Glenn r.
Smith and Ralph H. Raper of the
N. c. Experiment Station and w. B.
Lanham Of the B. A. E. They were
assisted by Dr.. c.. w. Forster, head
OF the Department of Agricultural
Economics and Rural Sociology at
State College, and Florena Cleaves
of the B. A. E.
The results of the investigations
are contained in Experiment Station
Bulletin No. 1913, which is available
free to interested citizens of North
Carolina upon application to the
Agricultural Editor, State College,
Raleigh. The title of the bulletin is
Equality Of North Carolina Cotton
1928-1936"
In summary of the studies, the
research men note that the i'm
provement in staple length was
brought about by the farmers shift
ing from the production of cotton
varieties having a staple length of
less than 1916 inch to varieties hav-
ing staple length of 1916 to lie
inches.
Approximately 80 percent of the
cotton grown in the State in 1928
had staple less than 1916 inch,
but in 1886 only 13 percent of the
cotton was this short and IS percent
was between 1916 inch and l 1-16
inches.
The report points out that the in
creased staple length has increased
the value of the crop, but that i'm
provement of grade, which also is
important for premium prices, has
not made satisfactory progress.

today to line up with him and warn
ed them their closed economies were
leading them to destruction.
In a formal statement issued five
years from the day the trade agree

dent Roosevelt and became law. Hull,
white-haired advocate Of lower
tariffs, declared:
eff two larger nations enter into
a discriminatory arrangement be-
tween themselves, with an agree
ment to divide their spheres OF in
fluence, other nations inevitably will
take defensive economic measures
and, instead Of establishing peace ano
economic rehabilitation and progress
the result is bound to be a general
collapse"
He also dropped a hint to the
small nations. of Europe and else
where which have, or are conclud-
ing, barter agreements with Ger
many. He said:
OIldll IldIlOIlS WHICH CIlCCI lICI
such arrangements with large ma
ton become increasingly dependent
upon the large nation for economic
existence and inevitably become po-
litical vassals Of the large nation"
Nevertheless, Hull issued a sweep
ng invitation to climb aboard the
heterogeneous wagon. "Our hope, y
le said, "and our standing invitation
S that in the coming years the pro-
gram may be joined by all. BY its
very essence, it is open equally and
