Dr. Dorset invented. This method
depends upon the tact that when

of commercial value of the sample

pouring orr the watery part from the

and permanent is obtained by simul-

from the cholera-sick pig on the in-'

By this simple means hok cholera

of lint. The machine used for this
work was an 18-saw gin furnished, tor
the purpose by the Continental Gin
Co. through the influence of Mr. M. L.
Clayton, Oklahoma City. The highest
lint turnout was 42.5 percent, from
the exhibit of Johnnie Bruner, Hope,
Oklahoma. Theaverage turnout of the i;
forty high-scoring exhibits was 36.2

"The average cost of production of
the eight prize winners in the state
contest was a little over G.5 cents per
pound of lint cotton."
"In making the awards c-f prizes
we have taken cevery possible precau-
tion against mistakes of ail kinds.
We have visited the homes of prize
winners to verify yields and reports,
and to become personally acquainted
with the contestants. Wie are sure
that cach award is correct and that
each prize winner is deserving of the

"I wish also to report that one ma-
nager of a cotton oil,mill, Mr. 1J. A.
Norris, Ada, Oklahoma, who is a mem-
ber of this Association, was one of
our regular cotton Demonstrators this
year. He made a net profit of $291.77
on ;t yield of 18,240 pounds of seed
cottcii and 4.200 pounds of boll cot-
ton. from sixteen acres of land. AH
seed, lint, labor, fertilizer, etc., was
figured at regular market prices. Mr.
Norris followed the instructions of
this department carefully."
