LONG STAPLE COTTON
The following correspondence e
plains itself The people of Red River
county have made a great success
growing this cotton and It Is general-
ly believed that what has been done
there can be done here
Palestine Texas Jan IS 1907
Mr Sam Fryer editor Times Clarks
vllle Texas
Dear Sir In the Interest of the
Board of Trade and by request of the
Anderson County Farmers Union I
wrlto to request you to advise us
where we can secure seed of the long
staple cotton the price of same and
if you can Inform us as to the produc
tion per acre as compared with tho
cotton usually grown In Texas We
are trying to Induce our farmers to
plant a limited acreage in this kind
of cotton as an experiment and de-
sire any information you can give us
which will be duly appreciated
Thanking you in advance for your
kindness yours truly
C A Sterne
Secretary
Clarksvllle Texas Jan 19 1907
Mr C A Sterne Palestine Texas
Dear Sir I have your favor of the
18th and in reply beg to state that a
limited quantity of long staple cotton-
seed probably as much as one hun-
dred bushels may be had from Nichols
Hooks exclusive dealers In long
staple cotton and seed of this city
The seed arc also handled by the J
E Barry Commission company of this
place This cotton yields about the
same as other varieties In all por-
tions of this county but requires pos-
sibly two hundred pounds more to the
bale On the other hand however
the long staple does not make entire-
ly during the summer months but
continues to make until killed by
frpst The seed are sold here at one
dollar per bushel and I Relieve the
Investment a splendid one
The gins which handle this cotton
arc run at a lower rate of speed than
on the shorter grades and the saws
are usually sharpened by oil mill
sharpeners Instead of In the old way
This method relieved the delicate
saws of the ruBRod little edge occa-
sioned by the use of the file Outside
of the establishment of a regular mar
ket for the staple no other require-
ments are necessary
Our cotton receipts to date arc
about 16000 and a considerable quan
tity of this Is made up of the shorter
staples brought In from neighboring
counties However it is claimed that
only two bales of the 1G000 have sold
below nine cents and that the aver-
age price will be about fourteen cents
As high as twentyfive cents per
pound has been paid In this county
tliis season but this cotton like nil
other of the twenty cent class of
which there have been many bales
was very carefully picked and stored
Much depends on the manner of hand-
ling and dirty long staple is as object-
ionable as dirty short cotton compar-
atively speaking
Any further information will be
gladly given Trusting that I may
hear of the success of the long staple
In your county I am yours very truly
