Grade And Staple Of
Cotton Is Important
The type of cotton grown in North
Carolina should be governed by the
requirements of local mills, advises
P. H, Kime, seed specialist at State
College.
"Every year, our mills use more
than twice as much cotton as is grown
in the State,? he says,-"and they
have, shown a willingness to buy
North Carolina cotton when they can
secure the quality and staple length
desired in large, even-running lots."
The staple lengths greatest in de
mand range from 16-16 to 1 1-16 of
an inch. Fortunately, Kime points
out, the highest yielding and best
varieties of cotton for North Carolina
produce these'staple lengths. i
There is little demand at home or
abroad for shorter staple lengths, he
adds, and growers who produce such
cotton are finding the most difficulty
in marketings their crop.
. "It Is encouraging to note .that
North Carolina growers are turning
more and more to -the long; Btaple
varieties," he says, "but there is still
a great need for more of the longer
staples."
. The variety of cotton best suited to
the soils of each grower's farm "should
be the kind for him' to plant,' Kime
saidi .Recommendations may be .ob
tained from local county agents or
from the State College agricultural
extension service at Raleigh.
. Tests made at the ."branch station
near Statesville Tiav khown that the
following-" varjefiei ! prodacd staple
lengths as listed, below: , tn,tn 4..

The General Assembly
Raleigh, Feb. 25. Despite much
argument in its behalf, the indications
are that the Hill liquor bill "providing
for a referendum will be defeated ir.
the Legislature. While the resent re
ferendum was on the question of re
pealing the eighteenth amendment,
the leadership of the proponents was
such as to make it in reality a vote
on the issue of whether or not the
State should have legalized liquor. It
resulted in an overwhelming majority
against having legalized liquor. - It
was taken for granted in the recent
election of members of the Legisla
ture that the question had been set
tled, and was not an issue in that
election. It is a settled rule of poli
tics that those elected to office must
abide by the consequences of a vote
of the people, regardless of what
might have happened if issues had
been stated differently, and applying
this rule to tne present situation, the
voters were under the impression that
the matter had been settled. ,
While all indications are that the
Hill liquor bill will be defeated, it is
not certain that the alcoholic content
of beer may not be increased from
3.2 per cent to 4.5 per cent There is
considerable sentiment to settle the
Wet-Dry fight in the Legislature n
that; basis.. This would meet the
argument of the Wets that some peo
ple are going to have an alcoholic
drink and would satisfy the dry by
keeping hard . liquor outlawed. - It
would also meet the argument .for
securing increased revenues. It is
recalled that in the last Legislature
it was argued that legalized beer
would bring millions of dollars in
revenue. - Such has not been the case.
It would afford an opportunity to test
out further the contention that - re
venues for relief work can be secured
that way.
The Legislature got into a snarl
over the question of inviting Cameron
Morrison 'to make an address, to that
body. There was .much sparring" for
position; but the Squabble resulted in
the invitation being .extended, r This
is an, indication of how the wind is
blowing for- there is not a more ar
dent Dry in the State than Comeron
Morrison. Opponents were' angered by
his vigorous attack on the Hill bill,
but they!" ; didUnot have . sufficient
strength to shelve the Invitation as
rwas at first attempted. , i

Nobody likes to pay taxes, particu
larly in these hard times, and the one
chorus that is heard oftenest in the
hearings before the joint Finance
committee is "I pray thee have me
excused." It is no easier for a cor
poration to find ready cash to pay
tax bills' than it is for individuals.
Good arguments can always be put up
against any tax measure. It is this'
fact that makes the life of a legisla
tor a trying one. As soon as a re
venue bill is arranged that it is hoped
will produce . the revenue that the
State must have there flocks to Ra
leigh a multitude Of representatives
of the interests concerned, and then
the fight really begins.
There is: no prospects that the Mc-Donald-Lumpkin
substitute bill for the
sales tax will be passed by the Legis
lature, but its supporters are confi
dent that it will . result - in marked
modifications of the original sales
tax measure. The merchants who have
gotten behind the substitute feel con
fident that they can secure change
that will result in a reduction of the
sales taxes. If they succeed in doing
this, they will be satisfied ' ;

There was a feeling that some of the
money might be " needed for other

maintenance of the. highways is of
vital importance, and the Legislature
acted. " . '
The Senate has before it a bill to
reduce the number of magistrates and
to place them on a salary. There is
general agreement that reduction in
numbers is necessary, but many re
presentatives can't see hew their
counties can pay salaries.
