and the export buyers are looking to other states and other foreign countries for their supply of staple cotton. Of course some of this was brought about by the drouth the last two years, but a large part of it was on account of the variety of seed planted and the deterioration of the soils.

This is the worst address by CaVenla Harp, thing that a farmer could do it he' president of the club; the response expects to keep the soil in a fertile state of productivity. The soil is like the human system, if we persist in everything away and putting nothing back we are going to come up against a barren desert not far hence.

Erosion is depfeting the soil fast enough, without our help in removing ail the humus that it requires for plant life. Oklahoma in 1923 to 1932 produced an average of 149 pounds of lint cotton per acre, and in 1933 to 1937 by Mrs. L. H.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Cotton Quality Improvement According to the best authority export cotton, the farmers of Cjklahoma and Texas are going to liave to Improve their staple and If they expect to compete with the markets of the other and the foreign countries, aad they can only do this by se- Jectlng good staple seed and improving the soil that they grow It on. If we do not improve our staple we may expect to depend on local markets only to dispose of our crop. Ten years ago Texas and OkJa- homa cotton was marketable at a premium over and above any other cotton raised in the world outside of the Egyptian long staple var- assoclations, and unless Oklahoma takes some steps to keep in line we are going to find that we will have a hard time marketing our cotton in competition with other states who have improved the to where it compiles to the market demands.
