Our women should respond with en-
thusiasm to the request made by the
Woman's Committee, Council Of Ma
.tional Defense, for a complete registra-
ton on October Is. Our men are go
ing to war, and women are taking
their places in positions never before
filed by women. AS the war contin-
ues, the need of all classes of service
by women will become more pressing.
If you wish to be in line for a position
you r qualied to fill, register on Oc-
tober 10. Your services does not nee
e~ssarily have to be volunteer. There
are some kinds of employment for
which the government is glad to pay.
State on your registration card wheth-
er ydu wish compensation or not. This
may be your opportunity to engage in
work which Uncle Sam needs to have
done, and at the same time you may
receive compensation and perhaps a
valuable experience for it. No one
will compel you to register. Nothing
will be done to you if you fail to reg
lister. 1t simply means signing your
name and address and stating what
you can do or will do for your country
at this time. Nothing will be done to
you if it becomes impossible for you to
render the service for which you
pledge yourself. Your offer will be
made in good faith, and no legal sig
nifcance can be attached to your OBJ

er of a vast military establishment
controlled by an irresponsible govern
ment which, having secretly planned
to dominate the world, proceeded to
carry the plan out without regard ell
Their to the sacred obligations of

ces and long-cherished principles of
international action and honor; which
chose its own time for the war; deliv-
cred its blow fiercely and suddenly:
stopped at no barrier either of law or
Of mercy; swept a whole continent
within the tide Of blood-not the blood
of soldiers only, but that of innocent
women and children also and the help
less poor; and now stands baked but
not defeated, the enemy of four-ffths
OF the world."-From President Will

Average 800 67.8
Tennessee-The plant is fairly well
fruited, and except in certain locali-
ties fruit is being held well. But the
l%ateness of the crop makes a very
late killing frost essential to the ma
turity Of the fruit. Picking is hardly
started yet, as few bolls are open, and
gins are still idle. Labor, generally
speaking, sufficient to harvest crop
Most farmers are selling at current
levels.
Louisiana-weather has been more
favorable in the last half Of the month
than it was during the first half, nd
cotton is opening rapidly. Picking is
progressing fairly well, although labor
is not sufficient to keep up with the
opening. Growers disposed to sell at
above 20 cents, but will fight any de-
cline below that figure.
Georgia-Picking is well advanced
in teh south and the yield is turning
out below expectations. In the north
the crop still holds fair promise, but
in many places the stalk is through
growing and fruiting with little pros
pect of a top crop. Picking is getting
under way in this part of the state.
Labor is sufficient to gather the crop.
and most growers are selling at the
market.
Arkansas-Unfavorable weather con
ditions consisting of cool nights and
sudden changes in temperature, to-
gether with boil weevil activities have
caused heavy deterioration in the crop.
Where boil weevil have been active no
top crop will benz ade, while heavy
shedding from a plant none too well
fruited at the start has been quite
general owe the state. Reduced esti-
mates of the yield, compared to a
month ago are general, and frost of
average date would result in further
heavy curtailment. Picking is slow
getting under way, and many sections
anticipate a labor shortage. Many
growers will hold for higher prices.
Texas-The crop is still doing well
in the north, but in thes outh and west
the yield is turning out fully as poor,
if not poorer, than expected a month
ago. In certain localities of the dry
area some new growth and fruitage
has formed, but it will require an un-
usually late frost to mature. In the
north the outlook for a good average
crop is still good, although there is a
fairly good sprinkling Of complaints
Of insect damage. Picking is nearly
completed in the south and is getting
under way in the north with labor
sufficient to harvest the crop. Date
Of killing frost will be important in the
north. Many growers disposed to hold
for higher prices.

CONDITION
I STILL SHOWS LOSS

The condition of the growing cotton
crQp is sos per cent of normal
according to the reports from cores
pondents of the Commercial Appeal
from over the cotton belt.
This figure compares with a govern
|ment condition on August 25 of 67.8
per cent, 56.3 per cent on September 20
last year, and a ten-year average of
|s5.7. The loss in condition for Sep
tember is 8 points, which compares
with 40 last year,and a 10-year aver
age of 81 points. The excessive loss
may be explained, however, from the
fact that this years crop lost only 2.5
points in August, due to the lateness
of the plant.
Based upon the above condition fig
ures, the indicated yield is 11,913,0 900
bales, according to the government
method of considering a condition Of
Zoo per cent on this date as Indicative
of a per acre yield of 27S pounds.
Unfavorable weather conditions, to-
gether with heavy insect damage, es-
pecially from boil weevil in infested
areas, may be held responsible for the
big loss in condition sustained by the
crop during the month. Temperatures
have been too low a great part of the
time, while sudden changes from hot
to cold have caused shedding of fruit
from a plant never too well fruited.
Too much rain in localities has also
caused some damage.
Boil weevil have almost destroyed
the top crop and have damaged the
middle crop in infested areas of Ark
'ansas, Mississippi, Alabama and Geor-
gia, and have done considerable dam
age in Texas. Over practically all this
area no top crop is looked for. Owing
to the extreme lateness Of the crop the
late fruGage, when unmolested by
insects, is in serious danger Of damage
by frost of average date.
The ~lateness of the crop is being
emphasized by the slowness of pick
ing in getting under way. There are
many local reports of premature open
ing, and in dry Southern Texas pick
ing is about completed. But in the
northern half Of the belt picking is
Just beginning, and along the extreme
northern border gins have not yet be-
gun to run.
There are some complaints of labor
Shortage, but as a rule there will prob
ably be enough to harvest the crop.
There are many growers disposed to
hold for very high prices, but as a rule
correspondents report that most grow
ers will sell above 20 cents, but stub
bornly resist a decline below that fig
IRE.
This is the last report this paper
will publish on the crop of this season.
The usual quantitative estimate of the
yield will be made some time in No
Fember.
Conditions by states with COMPARE
sons with last month, follow.

WE HUNGER?

SHALL WE HUNGER?
The person who can see nothing but
government red tape and fussiness in
the food control measure can see very
little below the surface in the present
day situation. The food control meas.
ures were not put in operation because
this government had any relish for in
terfering with the private lives of its
citizens. The fewer measures of this
sort needed, the better pleased would
be those in authority.
That the president insisted on and
the congress granted food control leg
~islation, is the most conclusive evil
dence that the situation called urgent
ly for such measures.
Probably never before in history has
the government faced the situation it
now faces. We speak glibly of our
crops in billions of bushels, forgetting
that the demand also is couched in
billions. We look at our bursting
graineries and overlooking barns, for
getting that across the waters are
millions of the worlds men engaged
entirely in consuming and destroying,
But enacting food control laws and
appointing executors is not, of itself,
going to safeguard the country. There
is another factor to the situation, and
the principle one-the people. In a
general way the food controllers can
control the prices, but they can in no
sense control consumption. This is
entirely up to the people themselves.
If a spirit Of strict economy and con-
servation does not prevail throughout
the land, the efforts of the government
will be n%eutralized,
1t may seem like thrashing over old
straw to continually refer to the ur-
gent necessity of economy in consump-
ton of food. But the situation calls
for iteration and reiteration. Reforms
come slowly. Not by once telling, or
twice, or three times, do we learn the
lessons of life, but by continued ham
mering Of the same truth into our
consciousness, are we at last brought
to see it clearly. This is our condition
in the present emergency. Our past
indulgence, coupled with the fact that
our supply always HAS been sufficient
has lulled us into a sense of repose.
But the people of this country al
ways learn the lesson when it is put
squarely up to them. Last spring
they were assured that to preserve the
prosperity of the country a record
crop Of everything must be produced.
To this appeal many have answered
loyalty and enthusiastically. They are
now assured that, if we would avoid
hunger and want, this same seeming
ly bountiful supply must be carefully
conserved and meted out. They will
loyalty meet this demand also, we have
no fear. But it will require se%lfdenial,
frugality, thrift and economy to tide
us owe in comfort to another harvest.
But it can be done and it will be done.
