The question of the best breed of
ittle has been argued since there
as been more than one breed. Tht
outhern Breeder has confidence in
is type and sees the weaknesses of
tie other breeds. The Hereford
reeder swears by the white faces,
he proud possessor of the Aberdeen

utclassed. The question probabl)
rill never be settled to a unanlmou'

There Is room for all thejbred?

Government Aidi
Securing (
Washington, D. C.,.July 1?.?In I
recent bulletin issueSvpy the United
States Department of* Agriculture
the attention of cotton fro wars, merchants
and spinners Hi called to the
importance of the untflHn standard
for grading cotton,a nd also to the
fact that also the same grades are
used in nearly all markets, they do
not always have the same meaning.
This inevitably results la confusion
which, however, It is ho^ed will be
done away with before 1 long. An
Important step In this direction it
the preservation by the Department
of Agriculture of fifty Mtiof official
samples of each grade In harge vac
uum tubes. In these tubes there If
no light to bleach, no air?io oxldse
and no moleture td permit mildew
The samples, therefore, remain permanently
unchanged and provide an
authoritative standard from whlc*
other standards may be prepared and
issued by the Department for use
in grading commercial lots.
This standard Is the outcome ol
an act passed by the sixtieth Con
gress authorising the establishment
of nine official grades to bd named
as follows! Middling Fair,; Strict
Good 'Middling, Good Middling,
Strict Middling. Middling, Strict Low
Middling, Low Middling, Strict Good
Ordinary and Good Ordinate. In
this system of grading middling I;
taken as a basts. The grade; name?
containing the word "strict* art
known in the trade as half grades
the others am full grades.

or impurities, such as leaf, dirt and

quantity of strings, motes, neps, gin
cut ber, cut seed and unripe fiber
and also to a certain extent .eolor
In determining the amount cJAfor
sign matter in the cotton the weathei
ds a very important factor, elthei
wind or rain being often responsfbh
for an unusually large quantity ol
dirt or sand. Much.of this forelgr
matter can be taken out by the usi
of cleaning attachments at the gii
and if the cotton Is sold strictly bj
grade, therefore, the cost of thli
process (due to low in weight) cai
be recovered in the markets. Th<
I various impurities and kinds of de
fects already mentioned caused wasti
in manufacture and- for this reasoi
the fewer of them the cotton con
tains the higher price it should brine
In addition to the grado cotton i
also classed by Its color. The mos
desired is a bright cream. Tblt
however, is lost If the cotton is lei
in the field too long or it may be al
tered by heavy falls of rain. Th
soil also has a distinct effect upo

I In ooneldering prices of cotton I
should be remembered that the ?
rious grades do not Indicate In an
( war the length of staple. It i? usui
, to call cotton that averages 1 l,
inches or more in length, staple col
ton, and that less than 1 1-8 inchet
short staple cotton. Length type
Are being issued by the Departmen
Of Agriculture In co-operation wit!
the Census Bureau. Little differ
ence is made in the price for the va
rious lengths -of short staple cottoi
but there is a tendency at presen
to make closer distinctions in thl
respect. Hitherto it has been fount
almost impossible to measure th
staple exactly. It may be stated
however, that the addition of 1-11
of ad inch in the length of the eta
pie adds approximately as much tt
the value of ootton as a full gradi
does.
Just what this amounts to varle
of course from year to year. Sonv
statistics contained in the new bulle
tin which is publlshod as Parmern
Bulletin 591, the Classification am
Grading of Cottln, show that at Nev
Orleans in May, 1914, Middling Stai
dard Cotton sold at 18*1-4 cents. A
the same time Good Ordinary brougl
only 11 8-18 cents, and Middlini
.Fair 14 9-16. From an 8th to on,
5-8 cents was deducted from th
prices depending upon the amoun
of variation In color.
At the present time the dlfferenc
In price (or the various grades ar
fixed three times each year on th
New York Cotton Exchange. Th!
I rule, however, has recently been re
vised and beginning on' Septembe
i 9, 1914, the price differences will b
, adjusted monthly. On September ]
1914, the Liverpool market will a
- dopt the new standards which It ha
agreed upon. These are much Ilk
the United States saandard excej
; that the word fully Is used for ou
t word strict. The lower grades 1
i the lLverpool scale also have wide
i color variation than the Unite
l States standards permit.
r Although the grower may find ihs
9 for practical purposes it is sufflcler
l that he can distinguish between th
3 three Important grades of Low MU
- dllng. Middling, and Oood Mlddlim.

others In the cotton trades are con
polled to be more exact. For the
