N. Jardlne, of the United Statea De partment of Agriculture at Wash ington. Commissioner Graham, a* the reply to a letter recently written by him will show, haa In terested the Washington authori ties In his proposal and has se cured a promise of cooperation. He asked that the Federal Depart ment take up and give special study to bringing on the market an effective and reasonably priced machine to aid Southern farmers In picking their cotton without I having to pay anywhere from a dollar to two dollars for every hundred pounds of seed cotton picked. i "This department, of course. Is i Interested, and we agree with you that a successful cotton picking devise would overcome a very Im portant agricultural problem." the Federal Secretary advised Commissioner Graham, i In presenting his views to Wash ington. the North Carolina Com missioner had written: I "In view of the frequent short age of farm labor and the preseut for picking eon tintnti ??i ??? 1 price of fr.itn one to two dollar* for picking 100 pound* of a*ed | cotton, one of the moat serious ' problems of the cotton farmer Is i that of gelling his co'.ton picked I before It damar?? ??? '* ? and we feel tnat the time has now arrived when this difficulty should be overcome by an effec tive machine for the mechanical picking of the crop. "Therefore.

Commissioner Graham stated, following -receipt of a reply to the foregoing that he was hopeful of results and believed the Federal Department's attitude Indicated that It would go Into this matter which, he believes, will save the Southern farmers much money.
