NANKING UNIVERSITY PLANNING TO BETTER QUALITY OF COTTON

(By Associated Press) NANKING, April 29i In line with the growth of textile industries in China and the increasing number of busy spindles in mills of the country the University of Nanking plans this year to continue and to broaden the scope of its work to improve the quality of cotton produced by Chinese growers. This effort is receiving the liberal support of cotton mill interests of the larger centers, particularly Shanghai. The university plans to carry out two general purposes: first, to obtain for Chinese growers an acclimatized and improved seed supply, and second, to introduce its use among growers. Authorities have stated that in other countries the production of acclimatized cotton seed has required from three to "five years. With a view to hastening this stage what is perhaps

the most elaborate and detailed piece of acclimatization work ever attempted in the history of cotton growing is being carried out at Nanking. The work was begun last year when the seed fields not only were severely rogued to discard all plants not true to type, but thousands of individual plants of the Trice and Acala varieties were selected and picked separately. The selected specimens of seed cotton from these plants were studied with exhaustive detail in the laboratory where all but a total of about eight hundred were discarded. These have been grown in separate rows arid picked separately for further study in field and laboratory with a further discarding of the poorest and retaining of the best. As a result of the first year's work it was possible to announce this spring

that this acclimatization method can be successfully applied In China. About a third of the selected specimens are above the standard of average Amer-j lean cotton, it Is said, and a tenth are ! much superior to the product with I

which the work was started.

How Long Does a Woman's Dress or Gown Remain in Style?

some women try varied designers in different places, as a rule they choose their designer and maker as they do their doctor." But, getting back to the question of how long a style lasts, one has only to consider the Individual class to get the idea, making allowance, of course, for the presence of certain women in every class who are not averaged. For Instance, the late Mrs. Hetty Green, handler of millions, would have con

sidered a dress a loafer on the Job if it served less than five years and a' hat that couldn't stand the Hoboken winds for several seasons a luxury. When the expert who told the above t. real facts was asked the direct ques tion: "Is five weeks the limit of style?" he merely smiled and looked at his great establishment with a fatherly eye and replied: -I wish to hell it was."

In a comparatively short time, they were extensively traversed, and

FRUIT STILL SAFE.

AUTHORITIES STATE

Fears of frost damage, expressed Friday evening, proved groundless, according to inquiries early Saturday morning. Although the temperature went as low as 31 degrees at the pumping station, just before sun-up, the low temperature continued only

I for a short time, and was neither se

vere nor long continued enough to cause serious damage, fruit growers

stated. A light frost was reported by Walter Ratliff but with the statement that probably no damage had been done by it. Stephen Kuth stated that a few fruit buds probably had been nipped but no real damage done, as there is still a super abundance of

fruit promised. The trees were heav

ily loaded with bloom, beyond their bearing capacity, this year, he said. The temperature at midnight was 36 degrees, the pumping station reported, with the low mark at 31 just before sunrise. The thermometer started up at 5 o'clock, and at 7 o'clock stood at 41 degrees. Dr. C. 5. Bond! to Leave Monday For Washington Dr. Charles S. Bond of North Tenth street, will leave Monday morning for Washington, D. C, where he will attend the annual session of American Physicians. He will return Friday morning. May 5. Dr. Bond has prepared a paper to be presented before the physicians' conference. Membership to the society is limited to 150, including the United States and Canada. Dr. Bond is one of two members in this state.
