COTTON SEED

There WAS a time covering very
many years when cotton seed wee
considered as waste, the great bulk of
which, after saving seed for plant
ing, was not utilized Now the seed
constitutes valuable product which
Is the base of great industry. It is
estimated that there is an average
yield of cotton seed in the South of
Q, 75O, 900 tons About 90 per cent. of
this amount is needed for replanting
and about 5000, 900 tons are crushed
in oil mills, producing about one bar
rel Of oil to the ton of seed, making
about 5000, 600 barrels of oil which
is going to the markets of the world.
In addition to the oil extracted, the
hulls, the cotton seed meal and short
staple cotton called linters are mark
eted, the whole outcome of the pro-
ducts from the seed being worth about
$3.50, 600. 900 annually. This industry
has developed within the last thirty
years.

DISTRICT CONFERENCE
AT PIKEvILLE

PIKEVILLE, Tenn, April 21.-The
District Conference. which has just ad-
iourned, after having been in session
in Pikeville for nearly week, in the
estimation of both citizens and visit
ors, was a perfect success. Rev E
A. Shugart, the presiding officer. was
equal to the occasion AMI his skilIful
management contributed largely to the
success of the Conference.
The preachers of the district all had
excellent reports, and in their deliber
ations showed thoroughness and fair
ness. The sermons by all the preach
ers we're highly complimented, as full
of thought and depth of meaning and
we're forcefully presented, On Sunday
Bishop Atkins preachedtwo very strong
sermons, both of which were great un-
foldings of the Scripture. On Satur-
day evening, Rev W. D. Dew, pastor
of McKendree Church, Jasper, of the
Chattanooga District, and former pas
tor of the Pikeville station, got the
following little girls together, Ruth
White, Martina Ross Pope, Sarah
Vaughn, Charlotte Thompson, Nellie
Ferguson, Elizabeth Summit, Ornha
Bell Hixson, Ethel Summit and Miri-
am Rose Stephens, and went to the
mountain side, and gathered wild
flowers, which they used together with
potted plants to decorate the church,
and proved pretty and elaborate dec
Grafton. This was certainly a treat
for tuese little girls all of whom are
very bright and sweet. These girls
are of some of the best homes in Pike
Vile. and have had spleDdid training
in tie home. We love to see oui child
rem drilled for service for Christ, ana
His church. The matter of the relig-
ious training of the children by the
parents and pastors is of no little i'm
portance, since in the years to come
the world will be what the children
make it, and it will depend largely up
on the training we give them. Let us
improve the time and make conditions
better.

A gold medal to the school boy or
girl between the ages of 10 and Is.
who writes the beet composition, not
to exceed 800 words, on the repair and
maintenance of earth roads, is to be
awarded by Logan Waller Page Di-
rector, Office of Public Roads, United
Was6iugton, D. G. Ali compositions
must be submitted to Mr.. Page before
May Is, 1918, and the medal will be
awarded as soou thereafter as the com
positions can be graded. The compos-
ition may be based on knowledge gain
I'D from books or other sources, but no
quotations should be made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situation
of the country, il is Mr.. Pages belief
that ignorance on the subject of re-
pair and maintenance of roads is as
the cause of theii bad condition as
much any other one factor. 1t is ex
pected that the competition will bring
about better understanding of the
subject of repair and maintenance in
the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the disad-
Nd0UdRbb VI TUdub uidut lLupuSSd Dlo
through lack of proper maintenance
and it is expected that their interest
in the compel tionwill stimulate great
er interest emong the parents Bad
roads have prevented many children
from obtaining proper education
and have even prevented doctors from
reaching the side of rural patients in
time to save their lives.
Any child between the ages men,
toned, attending country school,
may compete. Only one side of the
paper must be written on; each page
should be numbered; the name, age
and address of the writer, and the
name and location of the school which
he or she is attending NUT be plainly
written ut the top of the first rage,
The announcement of the competi
tion has been sent to the superintend
ents Of schools in the rural districts.
No further information can be obtain
ed from the Office of Public Roads
This announcement should be plain to
everyone, and all children will thus
start on basis of equality.
