With the General Motors Corporation back of it,
buyers of Chevrolet automobiles are assured of the very
best labor and materials. If Chevrolet cars have this
gigantic corporation behind them, then the corporation
itself must have something big in the Chevrolet Cars. It

l.ivupool. and one was said to be in-
best cotton trader in th" world. They
agreed on two things: First, that the
cotton v as the most regular ciop they
' hiid ever inspected; second, that the
liber was n full one and three-sixteenths
inches.
' "Due of the chief objections to extra-staple
cot ion is the irregularity In
length or fiber. The fact that my cot-
1 ton w as not irregular was of much
' Importance.
"Next the cotton had been graded
i practically one-rlnhth of an Inch
i longer than I had anticipated. No
!one had ever claimed more than one
and one-eighth inches for the cotton
sent tn from Mississippi, and here
i these traders were giving me full one
1 and three-sixteenths. 'Full' In the
trade means almost another sixteenth.
Maybe you do not know that every
sixteenth sends the price up by leaps
iand bounds. In my rase the length
of fiber got pie R2 centr. a pound tor
my cotton. 1
"This was the gratifying result of
four years hard work. The length!
1 of the fiber had been standardized, j
had been increased one-sixteenth of j
an Inch, the percentage of lint had 1
been Increased from 29 to 33 per cent I
and the cotton had been made a week
earlier than had been a fact before,
although when I got it from Missis
sippi it was already the earliest cot
1 ton grown commercially. 1
i "This means much to the farmers
of Georgia, for upon earliness da
ipends largely the future of the cot
ton Industry In these days when the
! boll weevil Is sitting upon nearly
l every stalk waiting for the next
j bloom."
During the last four years Mr.
! Hunter has practically lived in the
cotton field, and In his effort to breed
! h variety of cotton best suited to
; North Georgia has had the co-operation
of his wife.
