TO HELP COTTON GROWERS
GET BEST CROP RESULTS
FEDERAL Bureau Issues Suggestions
for Practices That VIII Tend
to Raise Grades.

Cotton growers now have one Of the
best opportunities Of many years to
profit by increased care In handling
their cotton. according to cotton grow
ing and marketing specialists Of the
Department Of Agriculture. which to-
day issued suggestions for practices
which will tend to raise cotton grades.
Care in picking. assembling and
handling seed cotton, and In ginning,
- well a. IN tho handling Of the bales.
they point out. may result in raising
the selling value Of the fiber mate
rally.
This IL true every year. they say. but
during the present season the restrict
ed crop and limited supplies at the
mills, coupled with the steady de-
mand, have sent prices to high levels,
making the Increase in returns to the
grower for each higher grade proper
tionately greater.
Practical Forms Of Standards.
Ordinarily the matter Of grades does
not receive nearly enough attention.
the specialists declare. AS q result.
farmers lose several million dollars
annually. This loss would be pro-
portionately greater under tho high
ruling prices this year II there were
no Improvement in handling practices.
Careful handling and stoxing Of cotton
seed also pays
To bring about moro extensive use
OF the official cotton standards by
growers in their sales, the Department
Of Agriculture is placing with county
agents in cotton-producing sections
sets OF practical forms Of the stand
ards.
It IL believed the presence Of the
standards In each county, where farm
ers may examine and become familiar
with them, will be a valuable educa-
tive force in grading, and will tend to
bring about the substitution Of meth
DDS of more exact classification in
place Of the approximations to grades
now often employed in gin, street and
warehouse sales.

VACATION OVER

L suppose everyone had a fine
old time during the four days
vacation for Thanksgiving. From
September te December is about
the longest stretch of school we
have without vacation. So now
school is almost for this
semester. just three more weeks,
which include one of examina-
tons. Every student owes it to
himself to get in and DIG and es-
cape those finals.
The Grammar grades and the
High School gave a Thanksgiy-
ing program last Wednesday.
School was cut short at Hop. N.
and the program lasted until
about 2:30 p. m. About 60 par
ents and those interested in the
school came in spite of a driving
rain. The entertainment consist
ed of numbers by each of the
grades. including several chorus
es and individual pieces, and an
appropriate sketch by a cast from
the grammar school The High
School Glee Club and Girls
Chorus sang. Myrtle VanOlinda
opened the affair by reading the
Presidents and Governors pro
Carnations.
Last Monday Ralph Steen talk
ed on the Modern Battleship.
The United States is building
several ships which will be cleo
trically driven and are expected
to reach a speed of forty miles
per hour. They are heavily
mounted and guided by an inn

Ralph's talk was certainly inter

Everyone is extra glad to see
Willis Blekkink back. He is a
popular fellow at school, being
elected president of the senior
class and treasurerof the Athletic
Association, even when it was
doubtful if he could return. An
other surprise came when Clifford

out for two years attending bust
ness college in Seattle, and now
