' J :;'f Only five of these 48 states lead Virginia in this matter to any great extent,' viz: Iowa, New York North Carolina and Texas.' In fact Virginia is in 'he first rank as regards funds for this work and as far as may ; be ascertained from personal observation and public facta, figures and features, the efficiently and activity of the ' Vir ginia workers - entitle, them to front rank 'also. All tbat is ; needed to in sure a grand success for this work is tnat the . public lend an attentive ear,' an observing eye and an intelligent hand. . ; f " ' ; , - . 4 r r '. .There is' as much - difference -between ancient and modern methods in agricultue as there is between an old fashioned smooth bore cannon and a. modern piece of artillery on ; the Eu rope,an battlefield.

Agriculture .Basis Of, Business . ... - ' . . , And ; Farmer S Cominpr " Into His 'Own-rrMiilions To :Be Spent On Demonstrations. , - The Smith Lever agricultural exten sion act of May 8, 1914, provides for a permanent national system of agri cultural extension work to be carried on with federal- and . State funds through the State agricultural colleges in co operation with the United Sta tes : Department ; - of ; Agriculture, ; by means of instruction and practical demonstrations' in agriculture and home economics to ; persons, not , attending the colleges. : j - -- "the Smith Lever Act appropriates money as follows: v fi" :x . . " : , ' (1) $10,000 of Federal vfunds an-' nually;to each of., the '48 states. - . - (2) In addition ' to the $180,000, the act ' appropriates for 1915 X6 $600,000 of Federal Smith-Lever funds' until v-1923, when the annual government appropriation will : ; be set at $4,590. 000. 1 The 1 additional . ap propriation is divided among the states in the proportion that the ru ral population of eachState ; bears ? to the total rural population of the states, Any Stated however, tos share in this extra Federal Smith Lever fund must appropriate and send in -extension work at least an equal, amount of money from Bources wjithin .the State. The money from the states will bring the joint demonstration fund to $1, , 680000 ii 19156, ; r,; r ; : In addition to the Smith Lever funds however the ? JDepartmen t o t ; Agriculr tureuring-1916'vylirextend " f rolnTts own appropriations for. farmers co operative demonstration work and: for other direct field instruction in special subjects over. $1,025,000, . However the States , will . raise from sources within the State and spend for demon stration work a total of $3,650,000, This wllrmake a grand total of $4 750.000 to be spent in the fiscal year 1815-16 in bringing practical and helpful instruction to ,the ' farmer and his family in their own communities. The 'Smith-Lever Agricultural-Extension-Act," 'is indeed and in fact a most powerful lever with which tc lift force or boosVthe agricultural in terests of the country up into their proper place, It is most assuredly a big thing for the'; Uniteid States, - a bigger thing for the South and big gest of all for Virginia. , ; k It is interesting and encouraging to know, to f tel, to , see and - to realize that the strong arm of the government has been extended to and thrown around the only class of workers and toilers that, are not thoroughly organi zed: The farmer "feeds the world," and yet the whole world is on' top of him. He is the" "bottom -rail' -hi. the fence. 5 The most potent v influenc of the 'Smith Lever Act" Is to encourage stimulate and make profitable co-opera tion among tillers of the soil. In this great work the: plan adopted secures the co-operation of the county theState and of the United States, each contributing to the fund . needed. The burden of expense ;s so thoroughly distributed, that no one, feels it as a burden, but soon will feel it as an up lift.: Virginia has a most , efficient, energetic, intelligent s and " ambitious corps of-fully 75 men engaged , heart-, ily in the demonstration work that is uplifting -. agricultural pursuits ; all along the linei i sheep cattle, horses, pigs. and poultry - fruits vegetables, grasses; grains every crop and every Jdnd of stock -is receiving t intelligenjt attention.

Cotton In Nalural Colors i Mr. Editor: v .'. , . A , ' Enclored you will - find an - article, that in -my opinion will yet be the rue soIuti( ofihe dye question, now giving textile manufacturers - a great ceal of trouble, ' In fact, many of them have Deen compelled to close up for want of , dies that come from Germany. .. The "Agricultural Ex. ; Sta tion of our State ought to inyestigttre this matter for the benefit of the cot ton. industry. If black and blue cot ton can be raised in N. C. it will com mand "good prices, because it can be manufactured less the expense of die ing. t - " ; J. H. Etheridge. r .Instead of having' to dye cotton we may in future,: grow , it in --.whatever color we desire. Colored cotton v is already grown in various parts of the work, and we have only to . assemble the colored varieties irfour.'own coun try; '.and produce' intermediate tints" by interbreeding, to obtnin 'the result suggested above in order that this may be brought about, of course, the dif ferent colored varietis must breed true; that is, the seeds jbf. yellow, green', or red; cotton must al ways produce cotton of . that one .particular color . That this is true, ann that the :,colors, are not due to the influence of soil ot other environment; have 1 been proved ,by A. W. Brabham, a A plant breeder, of Olar South' Carolina. Says a. writer in New York World Sunday Magazine: - r;"The 'production of cotton tinted by nature with any color desired is ' the newest and most revolutionary depart ure attemotei .in thes cotton-growing industry, and one which may have far reaching effects m the, United States. ! "" Commercially -ihr I zvn ntQ f , natural colors in cotton would obviate the use of chemical dyes, which, be sides their' expense, are said to dam age the fabric of the cheaper varieties of cotton-stuffs. With the perfection of the new process it would be possible to feed to the looms, ; to suit any de sign, cotton threads colored by nature with-tints that could not fade. - "The leading apostle of colored cot is A. W. Brabham, of Olar;S. C,; He points out what is scarcely ' known .to the, Americans public -acquainted only with white catton-j-that already there exist species of cotton of ; many va rious hies. V' -! . ' "Besides the white cotton of. : the United States, Peru produces a cotton With, reddish lint; brown cotton is grown in Egypt, Peru, and Hawaii; yellow cotton is produced in "China; and, India has a gray cotton.- In r ad dition, a green cotton has been evolv ed in South Carolina, and even a jet black cotton is said to have been de veloped in Mexico! C. H. Clarke, of Boston, has. written to Brabham ? that it .. has proved feasible in laboratory experiments to produce a blue cotton. "Brabnam's : chief contribution . to the introduction of, colored cottons 'is riis proof that the different species, whether from Peru, Egypt, or China, will breed, true to color, in whatever 1 they are .planted.; It was at first thought that the hues of the lint were due to the peculiarities of the earth in which' the" cotton grew. But by ex periments in South Carolina, he has established f that the seed from gray cotton in India produces gray cotton wherever planted; and that the t same is true of red cotton from Peru, yel lo w? cotton from China and brown cot- ton from Egypt. - It is well establish ed that white cotton from North Gar- I olina or Texas also remains white cot ton in the tropics. . : - - The American experimenter may thus have at his t disposal, eight dif ferent hues of cottony--white, red, brown; yellow, gray.V green, blue, and black. J . According to Brabham, by in terbreeding it will be possiole to blend these colors into all the intermediate tints. For instance, by breeding white and red cotton together, we Bhould ar rive at a fixt type of pink cotton; by blending red and blue cotton we should achieve purple : cotton; and the inter mixture of Jblack - cotton should give us darker hues of all the other colors.''
