WORK INlER THE
NEW GINNING LAW
Some Buyers And Ginners
Are Trying To Discourage
Farmers About The Law.

qucratioUs
It wit! be worth from one. to five
/ million dollars TO The farmers Of
| Arkansas il they viii sell their cot
ton on grade Very few cotton
| buyers outside Of the cities snow
how to grade cotton, consequently
! have not been able to buy cotton or
. sell it on grade. We have the serv-
ices Of a Government cotton ciasser
to grade yoHr cotton, and ir.will cost
you nothing for the grading.
The Government Ciasser grades
cotton on the Government stan
dards. The Government standards
have been adopted by all the prin-
ciDal cotton exchanges and markets
in this country When your cotton
is graded by our Government cotton
classer it will not be necessary to
cut your bale and take a sample.
The ginner is under bond to take a
fair sample. When it is graded
you know the grade and staple.
You can guarantee the grade and
staple when you offer it for
sale. This is better than anybodys
sampline.
Il is a burning shame for the
farmers of Arkansas TO raise and
market crop worth a hundred
million dollars and not know the
value of their product except what
IS told them by he local buyer,
The shame is only the greater by
the TACT that very few Of the local
buyers know the value except what
is told them by the cotton buyers
from the points Of concentration.
Not one bale in ten is sold by the
farmer on grade, and not half is
sold by The merchants on grade,
but is shipped ont in lots without
grading,
We now have a system Of grad
IND that is free to the farmers Or
merchants and either one can send
in the gin sample and get it graded
and then sell on a guarantee Of
grade.
A GOOD many cotton buyers and
ginners are trying to discourage The
farmers about the law and the sys,
tenn If the farmers and local
merchants could know how much
they have lost in the past they
would understand some of the
knocks against the law Some Sin.
ners claim The buyers will not buy
on lin samples, and buyers will 40
doubt insist on cutting the bale and
taking a sample. One cotton buyer
in Nashville oct six bales of cotton
rom me samples ne cut from
| farmers cotton last year, and Nash
vile markets only about 5000 bales.
Practically all foreign cotton is
sold on Din samples. Over 100000
bales Of foreign cotton Is shipped to

hope the cotton growers will
lend their cooperation under the
operation Of this new law, and
will take advantage Of its benefits.

The following is from the Army

Complying with the wishes Of Sec
rotary Daniels, the chapters OF. the
American Red Cross are engaged in
forming naval auxiliaries under their
respective Jurisdictions. 1t has been
pointed out that while these naval
auxiliaries are being formed, many
people interested in knitting for the
men Of the navy are at a, loss as to
how and where goods may be ship
ped SO that they will reach their des-
tinations. The National Red Cross
headquarters has notified. therefore.
all it's divisional managers to inform
their chapters that they MAJ receive
temporarily knitted goods for men in
the navy from individuals or organ
izations who are not affiliated at the
moment with the Red Cross. These
goods will be shipped promptly to
divisional warehouses. From there
they will be forwarded Immediately
as may be arranged with the navy
authorities detailed for this work.
This ruling by national headquarters,
Of course. Is temporary only. but *

wish to continue working for 1.-The
