wholesome and palatable.

has given place to the "kitchenette'

the canned goods, and a gas stove to
heat them on. The home is as small
as can be devised to house the Deo-

that there is q woman who can make

PRICE REDUCED ID 5.5OD FOR JAN.-FEB. Conference Committee Will Make Announcement
 Today

New York, September 16.--It was an- nounced today by the conference commit tee in charge of the liquidation of the straddle interest on the New York cotton exchange that the price would be reduced. to 5.50d for January-F February in Liverpool and 905c for December in New York to- morrow. Some such action had been more or less generally expected and a hope was expressed in local circles that the cutting down of the price would lead to more active liquidation in Liverpool.
 There was no balloting for orders here today. notwithstanding the sales recently reported from Liverpool stock, and only 15,000 bales of the New York interest have been liquidated. under the plans of the international conference. The slow prog ress of this liquidation is offset to some extent. however by reports that the syn dicate plan now seems likely to go through. and by reports of further ad- vances in the southern spot markets, al! the official quotations received today bo ing about zc higher.
 Continued good weather was reported in the south.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Use Less Fertilizer
To the Editor Of The Age-Herald;

To the Editor Of The Age-Herald:
 Suggestions seem to be in order as to what the southern farmers shall do in the year 1915 to save themselves from starvation.
 My suggestions are as follows: The use of commercial fertilizer Is the cause of the over-productlon of cotton. This being true, the farmers should not use a pound on their 1915 crop. By not using any conn mercia1 fertiliaer they would not only res duce the production (which seems to be Il necessity, but they would save themselves millions of dollars that they spend for the fertilizer.
 Let them put their cotton seed back on their corn and cotton if they cannot get fair price for them. or cannot ex- change their seed one ton of seed for one ton of sis per cent meal.
 Let each one SOW at least one acre of their best land in wheat per mule; five acres of oats or barley per mule. and plant cowpeas in every acre of corn that they plant.
 They should buy as little as possible from the stores and have good gardens and ca vegetables and less meat, and drink no C0ca-Cola and less whisky. If they will do this. take my word for it, at the end of 1915 they will be In better con dition than they have been fin years.
 This is not written to hurt the fertilizer people. but they can stand this better than the farmers can stand the over-pro- duction of cotton, and they will be saved the trouble of hustlIng for substitute for potash. ALLEN P. HOWISON.

FLOUR RECOVERS
 THE GROUND LOST Uniform Advance of Twen- ty-Five Cents Per Barrel
 on All Grades

Ttere was rebound in flour prices yesterday After continuous slump in prices which had been the result of decided reverses suffered by German arms during the last week or 10 days. when news from the front indicated that the German forces were again well in hand and that the headlong flight had been checked and that q solid line of defense had been presented to bar the way of allied forces, the wheat quo tations in the United States and flour in Birmingham and elsewhere imme- diately stiffened and reached for high CT price levels. There was a uniform advance of 25 cents per barrel on all grades of flour on the Birmingham market Wednesday. This might be re- garded as a direct result of the 5-cent rise in wheat quotations made the day before. Business on Morris avenue is quite active in most lines.
