For a better quality cotton and urge the farmers of<br />

Now's The Time To INSURE<br />
a BETTER MARKET for<br />
Your 10J7<br />
The situation confronting the cotton growers<br />
in this section, a condition brought about by<br />
the extreme dry and drouthy conditions prevailing<br />
during last su<strong>mm</strong>er, has impressed the<br />
entire cotton fraternity, including ginners, farmers,<br />
and bankers with the necessity of getting<br />
high-clas- s planting seed for the coming crop.<br />
This action is being stimulated all over the territory,<br />
by those who realize something must be<br />
done, or else a poor prospect is in view for a<br />
good cotton market during the 1937 cotton harvesting<br />
season.<br />
The seed now being used in this section,<br />
according to tests that have been made, show<br />
an extremely low germination, and the fact that<br />
cotton w<strong>ill</strong> germinate does not mean that it w<strong>ill</strong><br />
produce a healthy stock of cotton.<br />
In order to increase the yield 'per acre, and<br />
the staple of cotton, the HASKELL territory is<br />
going to be forced to introduce better grade<br />
planting seed from sections that were blest<br />
with more generous rainfall.<br />
Haskell there many<br />
tions in Texas as well as in other parts of the world where only short staple<br />
cotton can be produced.<br />
Why then should we try to compete with the lowest type and cheap labor<br />
when we can produce the type of cotton that spinners are ever seeking.<br />
PEDIGREED SEED<br />
W<strong>ill</strong> Improve the Staple<br />
Realizing the seriousness of the situation facing our<br />
county if large cotton buyers follow their intention<br />
to cease buying the shorter staple cotton produced,<br />
we heartily favor the movement sponsored by<br />
The Haskell Free Press<br />
to seed to avert the of a<br />
heavy on the part of cotton<br />
make a of 200 points on the aext<br />
grade below the 7-- plant pedigreed payment<br />

Buyers discount<br />
8 inch staple or $10 per bale. We<br />
may have to buy cotton strictly on grade and staple<br />
during 1937.<br />

NAPPING<br />
COTTON<br />
Cotton is a dry weather plant and w<strong>ill</strong><br />
stand more heat than most any other co<strong>mm</strong>odity,<br />
yet a certain amount of rainfall is essential<br />
to its proper maturity.<br />
The gins and allied business men<br />
by the cotton are alive to the seed<br />
needs of this territory, and are a united<br />
effort to better and a<br />
cottonseed that w<strong>ill</strong> a more salable staple<br />
and yet make a lint out-tur- n affected<br />
industry<br />
making<br />
encourage planting seed,<br />
produce<br />
of a satisfactory<br />
nature. The farmers themselves, realize that in<br />
a majority of instances they are going to have<br />
to sacrifice their old seed, and purchase others.<br />
It is a fact recognized by the cotton dealers,<br />
that during the past year, fewer outside<br />
cotton buyers were attracted to this i<strong>mm</strong>ediate<br />
section than during any former year. The absence<br />
of these representatives of shippers made<br />
it more difficult to get a good price for the cotton,<br />
and this loss was the more keenly felt by<br />
the cotton raisers.<br />

BETTER HEED<br />
The Warning!<br />
and improve the quality of the cotton produced<br />
in this territory<br />
Cotton factors have warned they may refuse to purchase<br />
short staple cotton in the future and even<br />
though they do it w<strong>ill</strong> be at a big discount.<br />
We may have to purchase cotton strictly on staple in<br />
the future and this means short staple cotton w<strong>ill</strong><br />
bring $10 less per bale than in the past.<br />

by planting a cotton of standard length staple. Exporters<br />
are going to penalize heavily or refuse to<br />

Local buyers have been warned they must buy<br />
3trictly according to grade an'd staple or stand the<br />
loss.<br />

NATIONAL<br />
'The old reliable since 1890"<br />
THE<br />
LATEST REPORT<br />
SHOWS<br />
Approximately 26 per cent Texas cotton untender-abl- e<br />
; 21 per cent in staple and 5 per cent in grade,<br />
and in some sections of Texas 70 per cent of the production<br />
was untenderable on contract.<br />
We believe the remedy for this deplorable situation<br />
is the planting of better seed. It w<strong>ill</strong> mean many<br />
dollars to the Haskell County farmers this fall when<br />
the 1937 crop is placed on the market.<br />
