WHY NOT ADOPT PLAN FOR
PUBLIC COTTON WEICHER?

The Robson County, N. c., Farm
rs Union held a county meeting in
ie courthouse IN Lumbertor We'd
esday, September Is. The Union
vent on record as favoring the appeal
v DR.. Clarence Poe, editor Of The
Progressive Farmer, in regard = to
rolding cotton for IL cents ard urged
il members to hold this years crop
Tor that price, and also urged the
farmers to hold cottonseed till De-
cember /, regardless of price. Ar
angements are also being made for
he members of the Union to sell
heir seed in bulk this year, and by
cooperating in this way they are sure
# getting a better price.
The farmers are highly pleased
With the public cotton weigher-grader
olan, one being appointed by the last
Legislature, at the request of the Un-
ion, for Lumberton and Maxton. The
law provides that the county commits
sioners can appoint one for any other
market in the county when pctitioned
BY the farmers who sell cotton on
:uch market. The farmers in this
section, like all others, feel that they
have been Disseminated against in
The way of rot being allowed high
enough grades on their cotton. The
local weigher-grader must weigh and
grade all bale cotton sold on a mar
let where ne is appointed and all
sellers and buyers as well have to 60
by both his weights and grades. The
grader-weigher is under bond. Some
Of the buyers objected to this plan,
hut for any man to buy cotton
weighed or graded by any other than
the local public man lays himself
liable to the law. The county divis-
ion of the Farmers Union is the
father of the idea and the members
feel sure the idea is going to mean
dollars to them.

EXPORTERS RECEIVE
FAIR TREATMENT
ENGLAND CLAIMS THAT SHE
HAS NOT INTERFERED WITH
AMERICAN TRADE
figures Prove Trade is Gro"ing.--s g

Washington, Oct. L. Great Bri-
1ajn's answer to reports widely cir
.cuIated in this country that she has
Eeen interfering with legitimate trade
So the United States with neutral
European nations for the benefit of
i.er own exporters is given in note
handed to Ambassador Page at Lon
con, by Sir Edward Grey, foreign
minister and made public here to-
night.
Data and figures are. quoted at
length to prove that where British
exports and re-e4ports have increas-
"d the growth of similar trade from
t.,e United States has been many
times as large, while in many cases
there has been vast increases of
american exports compared with de-
creases in those from the United
Kingdom.
The note, which is in response to
the British ambassadors report of a
reference at the state department to
she unfavorable impression created
here by reports of increases in the
British trade with Northern Europe
an countries since the war began,
suggests also that statements con-
cerning Great Britain's policy have
keen inspired by German agents.
August 13 is. the date of the docu-
ment, which was transmitted Ivy mail.
1t follows in part:
"The increased re-export 80 cotton
form the United Kingdom to Norway.
Sweden, Denmark, and the Neither
lands during the months of January
TO May, 1915, as compared with the
same period in 1914, amounted to
!03,995 centals of 100 pounds. The
United States exported to the four
countries mentioned during this pc
rod in 1915, as much as 3,353,63S
erntals, as compared with 2O4,177
eentals during January to May, 1914,
ap increase of 3,149,461 centals or
SIX times the increase in the export
IF cotton from the United Kingdom.
''The above figures for the United
Kingdom are taken from the official
customs returns; those for the United
States have been carefully compiled
ly the war trade department from
The manifests of those vessels which
actually arrived with cargo from the
United States in Scandinavian and
Dutch ports during the five months,
February to June, 1915, as compared
With five-twelfths of the total record
Ell exports from the United States to
those countries in the year ended
June 80, 1914. 1t is evident
tEat some shipments must have taken
place from the United States to the
Scandinavian ports and the Neither
lands which could not come within
the scope of even the most circum-
stantial compilation of statistics
&rawn up from the manifest of ex-
smined ships alone, and I would
therefore lay particular stress on the
fact that the figures thus obtained by
the war trade department are neces-
sSirlly underStatements of the total
.emounts actually shipped. But even
from the figures thus obtained it is
possible to show conclusivey how
iauch greater the increases in the
American exports to Scandinavian
countries and the Netherlands have
been than those of Great Britain
during the first five months of this
war, not only in the case of cotton
but in that of almost every other

in this line, much Ike in all others,
there are very few orders being
placed for delivery at a time later
than two months off. There seems to
te yet just vestige of thar summer
doubt in the prosperity of the future,
particularly doubling the first few
months of the new year. The same
men did not regard this as a bad in.
Gication, but rather they thought of ii
IS mild reminder of the troubulous
times that have just passed. This
doubt seemed to serve to impress
upon them more forcibly the present
marked and steady improvement in
all branches Of business.
In regard to the conditions in At
lanta, the salesmen interviewed with
nut exception stated they had never
received more orders nor larger or
ders here than they have on this trip,
and no one of these statesmen had
been visiting Atlanta less than six
years. One salesman with en- expe-
rience of % years with the Atlanta
trade in various lines said he consid-
cred conditions so near normal that
he considered Atlanta back in her
c;d-time business stride.
Statesmen of lighting fixtures and
! lumbing supplies, articles they said
would be considered almost in the
class of luXuries during times of
business depression, reported record
sales here in the last three days.
