However, while all Hits was
going on, our southern neighbors .
were not getting dnywhere.
For productive purposes they
had as good possibilities as our

their products. They were all
r ight close to their-seaports, at
which our oceanic shipping could
reach them, but they could not

down to water level.
It just kept them back to the
primitive stage, throughout their
whole continent.
Now, we need their raw ma-

but we cannot get it, because
they cannot deliver it at the wa-

forward it.

Loan Price On
CoHon Set — "
The Commodity Credit has
set tkis-yeaFs lean |>rice on cot-
ton at 90 percent of the July
"Parity price. The parity price
in July was 20.46c per. pound,
which would mean a loan value
of 18.41c for middling, 15-16 inch
cotton in Montague county.
Discounts for grade and staple
lower than this standard are as
follows: .
Midlling 15-15 inch—18,41.
Middling 7-8 inch 8.7 points off.
Middling 13 16 inch—150
points off.
Strict low rriiddlirig, 15-16 inch

Shenectady, N. Y.-War work-

of the morning by the rooster’s
crowing please note. There is a
way to remedy the situation.
Says Ed W. Mitchell, General
Electric’s farm adviser;
“Put the rooster on a roost so
near the ceiling of the pen or
or coop that it cannot raise its
head. If you will observe care-
fully, a rooster always raises its
head and stretches out the neck
to crow; so just cramp his styje.”
