USDA Seeks Ways
Of Cutting Cotton
Marketing Costs

Marketing charges on cotton
from the farm to the professor
amount to about 200 million dollars
on an average crop, or about SIG
per bale, says the Production and
Marketing Administration of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Believing that part Of this huge
cost results from our uneconomic
ways Of preparing cotton for mar
ket and of handling it in distribu-
tive channels, the Department of
Agriculture is conducting research
program designed to reduce these
costs.
Among the research problems
which the Department is seeking
to solve are: Cd Reduction Of was
tie in the manufacturing process by
determining how the various mea-
surable physical properties of cot
ton fibers in raw cotton are related
to spinning performance and quality
of manufactured products.
CD To discover how well mech
anically picked cotton can be clean
ed. Up to now they have discover
ed ways of cleaning from 60 to 81
percent of the foreign matter out
of cotton. While 10 pounds of
weight per bale are lost through
the remoal Of moisture and foreign
mater by the most effective clean
ing process, the value of the bale
is increased by about SIS.
CD To discover variability in
spinning quality of one-variety cot
ton taken from any given one-var-
, iety cotton community. This would
aid in local marketing.
Cd Developing a simplified sys-
tenn of grading cottonseed.

National Garden
Planning Week
Feb. 2-0

February 2-8 has been designated
as National Garden Planning Week
by Secretary of Agriculture Clinton
p. Anderson. This is the period
when white and colored garden
and horticultural leaders every
where will organize local forces for
an effective postwar garden pro-
gram
The garden goals announced by
the Department in November were
set to: Cd Insure better nutrition
for many millions of American
families: CD provide families, par
ticularly those in lower income
groups, with net addition to the
quantity of vegetables and fruits
consumed by them; 90 assist in
meeting the cost of living; and
% foster nutrition education and
aid in the development of cultural
values that come with home gard
ening, home grounds, and commun-
ity improvement.

NEGRO COTTON

Typical of the thousands Of white
and colored cotton farmers who
are increasing their cash income by
growing sweetpotatoes and sugar
cane as sideline crops, is Bonnie
Easley of Marengo County, Alaba-
ma, says DR.. j. r. Otis, state leader
Of Negro Extension work.
Last February, Farmer Easley
bedded out 18 bushels of seed
sweetpotatoes from which to get
shoots or slips for planting his
crop. Then he carefully prepared
one acre which he planned TO de-
vote to sweetpotatoes. To insure
adequate nourishment for his pot
alto slips when planted, he applied
the recommended quantity of fer
tilizer.
From his 18-bushel seedbed he
not only got enough slips for his
acre, but also had enough extra
slips to sell SOS worth. And at har-
vesting time last fall he dug 200
bushels off his acre, sold 145 bush.
els at $3.50 per bushel, and saved
rs bushels for home use and for
this years seeded. Altogether,
Farmer Easley crossed $427,5O off a
single acre of potatoes.
But this is not the whole story.
On another acre he planted sugar
cane From it he produced 300 gall
Ions of syrup. Up to now he has
sold $50 gallons for 1925, and still
has plenty for home use and more
for sale. Mr.. Easley estimates that
he will sell at least another 5000
worth. Thus, from an acre of SUI
gar cane and an acre of sweet po-
tatoes he is crossing over $500.
