EXCHANGES AGAINST
HALF & HALF COTTON
U. S. Dept. Declares Staple
Short and Cotton is Held
to be Unmerchantable
As a result of a warning is
sued by the United States de
partment of agriculture, the
Little Rock Cotton Exchange
has amended its cotton rules so
that cotton known as “half and
half” and other varieties the
staple of which is less than sev
en-eights oi an inch, are de
clared unmerchantable and
may be rejected by buyers.
The warning issued by the
United States department of
agriculture, follows:
Government Warning
“The department of agricul
ture, on April 9, 1914, and
again on March 2, 1915, issued
warnings to farmers of the
Southwest against planting va
rieties of cotton that usually
produce a staple of less than
seven-eighths of an inch in
length, especially such varie
ties as are said to produce half
seed and half lint. In viewr of
the approaching planting sea
son, the department wishes to
reiterate»these warnings forthe
benefit of the entire cot
ton belt. The producers of cot
ton, for their own welfare,
should heed this advice, and
should exercise judicious care
in the selection of planting
seed.
“The following reasons are
given for warning cotton grow
ers against planting any variety
that usually produces a staple
of less than seven-eighths inch
in length.
“1. Cotton of less than sev
en-eighths inch staple is of ap
proximately the same spinning
value as the bulk of the cotton
of India. On economic princip
les, the American product
should be maintained on a
higher level of intrinsic worth
than that of India in order that
the American crop may not
be forced to compete in the
markets of the world with the
cotton of India.
“2. Cotton of less than sev
en-eighths inch staple is infer
ior to the average American
quality, and localities that pro
duce such cotton in appreciable
quantities soon establish repu
tations for an inferior product.
The price of all cotton in such
markets will suffer on account
of the poor reputations of the
market.
o. (Competent cotton buy
ers discriminate against ex
tremely short staple whenever
such cotton is discovered. They
should be equally careful to
discriminate in favor of cotton
of good staple. The farmer who
produces inferior cotton is
likely to find that his product
brings a price materially low
er than quotations would indi
cate as its true value.
“4. Under the common
practice of the cotton trade,
the price of spot cotton is gov
erned largely by future quota
tions. In order that future cot
ton quotations might more ac
curately reflect the value of
spot cotton. Congress, in the
United States Cotton Futures
Act, provided a form of con
tract, exempt from the tax im
posed by the act, on which cot
ton of extremely low grade or
which is less thnnlseven-eighths
inch in length of staple, is not
deliverable. This action by
Congress was intended primar
ily for the benefit of producers.
One of its results was the adop
tion by the New York and New
Orleans exchanges of the ex
empted form of future contract
so that cotton of less than sev
en-eighths inch in length of
staple cannot be delivered
thereon. This legislation in no
way affects any sale of spot
| cotton.
“5. As ihe variety of seed
planted is the primary factor
in determining length of staple,
and as there are early mateur
ing prolific varieties which
produce a staple of at least an
inch, in length, no farmer or
community is justified in plant
ing an inferior variety, or in
expecting the full market price
for a debased article of com
merce.”

OFF WITHOUT PAIN I
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up a corn or callus so it lifts
off with fingers.
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops sore
ness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted out, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi
tively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. It is
fine stuff and acts like a charm every
time.
