T. Killough. head of the cotton
research division of the Texas State
experimental station. Leader in the
experiment was lanky. bespectacled
Federal Agronomist T. r. Rich
mond, Killough's assistant.
we have developed a strain of
cotton that has only enough fuzz
on it 10 hold the seeds together
and keep them from falling to the
ground after the boil opens" Rich
mond said.
He added that he had isolated
strain of cottonseed "bald as a
billiard BALI but had rejected it
because the seed shattered before
they could be harvested.
Killough said problems that had
to be overcome in producing the
''oil" variety of cotton included
correct spacing, type of soil and
the best method of harvesting the
new variety"
Both agronomistS believed the
lintleSs cotton could be planted on
land that was retired from produc-
ton in the south under the federal
farm program.
The new strain will turn history
back more than 1900 years. The
first cotton was grown by ancient
Egyptians on Tie fertile banks of
the Nile for its oil producing seed
The Egyptians themselves dis
covered the value of the fuzzy lint
that covered the seeds and began
to develop a strain that would pro-
duce large amount of fibre. The
present inch and one eighth staple
was developed along the Nile before
cotton production was introduced
in other countries.
Killough said that he and Rich
mond were concentrating at the
present time on developing a strain
that would produce a larger amount
OF seed
Present varieties produce on the
average between 300 and 1000
pounds of seed cotton to the acre
when favorable years give farmers
a bale of cotton to the acre. The
price of seed varies from Sl3 a ton
upward.
The seed not only will produce

RURAL TAX
DELINQUENCY
OFFERS PROBLEMS

Rural tax delinquency, a distress
ing and critical problem throughout
the nation during the depths Of
the depression. is still a pressing
problem in most farming areas,
according to a survey recently conf
pleted by the United States Bureau
of Agricultural Economics, even
though the percentage of delin-
quents has decreased as farm in
come has improved.
Perhaps the most significant gen.
eral conclusion drawn by Donald
jackson. senior agricultural econo-
mist for the bureau. in his report
entitled THE Trend and Present
Status of Rural Tax Delinquency"
is that low value lands have often
been badly over assessed and have
been a major factor in contributing
to permanent or long-term delin-
quencies.
Mr.. jackson reports in this re-
gard as follows:
when one class of real estate
becomes widely delinquent in a
Jurisdiction, it is prima facie evil
dence that that class of property
is over-assessed, and this has been
the case with large part of the
rural delinquency of the past few
years. In great part, it is the low
valued lands which have become
delinquent. In fact this has been
so prevalent an occurrence for
years that most of us have come
to accept it as the natural order
of things. One study after another
has shown assessments on acreage
properties to be regreSsive both on
area and on value per acre. That
tax delinquency on the lower-value
lands is to such a wide extent long
term or permanent substantiates
the view that these lands have
received essentially harsher treat
ment than that given the higher
valued properties"
Pointing the inevitable result of
over assessments, or tax levies
which exceed the capacity of the
land TO pay, the federal economist
asserts:
'Long-term delinquency on lands
of low or nominal value undoubted-
1,- - IL, l.
to realize the futility OF paying
taxes on assessments far beyond
any real hope of realization. In
such position, the owner has nc
alternative; and the taxing juris-
diction has no alternative except
the one it has persistently declined
to use - ADJUSTING ASSESS
MENTS TO REAL VALUES!"

Fleet Base Force
Commander, Dies
Last on Duty Here
Heading War PIons
Division, 1913

Rear Admiral George Julien
Meyers, SO, U. s. N. commander of
the Base Force, United States Fleet,
died yesterday aboard his flagship,
the U. S. s. Argonne, at San Pedro.
Calf.
Admiral Meyers, who was last on
duty in Washington in charge of the
War Plans Division, Office Of Naval
Operations, from 1881 to 1888, had
been commander of the fleet base
force since July % of this year.
Born in Council Bluffs, Iowa, he
was appointed to the Naval Academy
in 1898. After various sea duty, he
attended the Marine Engineering
School at Annapolis, Md, in 1910.
In 1915, following three years as
senior engineer officer of the U. S. S.
Rhode Island, he was transferred
to the Naval Academy. Three years
later he was made executive officer
of the U. S. S. Florida, operating
with the British grand fleet.
He commanded the U. S. S. Sac
ramento in 1920 and, after COM
manding Destroyer Squadron IA,
attended the Naval War College at
Newport, r. l., and soon afterward
the Army War College here, being
a student and later an instructor.
His command of the u. S. S. Pa
toka from 1924 until 1926 was fol-
lowed by return to duty at the
