SAVE YOUR SnuCKs-CCrn Shucks have
become an important article of trade with
the manufacturers Of mattresses. They are
now used to such an extent that tho supply
is not equal to the demand. We would
therefore sugges. to our farmers to save their
shucks, study the mcthcd Of putting them
up we'll, ard they can always find sale for
them at good price, at the Fairview Cot
ton Works of Fitzpatrick Il Burns, Alexan-
dris Va, who always give the highest prices
for them. If, therefore, our farmers would
pay some attention to the matter, they would
certainly make money by the operation
Warrenton Flag.
