PAGES WEEKLY LETTER

Little Rock, Sept. 25, 1917.- The gins are now running and we are kept pretty busy grading cotton for the farmers. Under the new gin law the ginner must take two samples from the bale as it is ginned and seal them. The customer gets one of the samples, and if he wants to he can send it by mail to me or the U. s. Bureau of Markets, Little Rock, and it will be graded and report of the grade and length of staple sent back the next day This will enable the farmer to know exactly what he has to sell. He can keep posted on the value by reading the market quota tions.
 It will be worth from one to five million dollars to the farm CTS of Arkansas if they will sell their cotton on grade Very few cotton buyers outside of the cities know how to grade cotton, and consequently have not been able to buy cotton or sell it on grade. We have the services of Government cotton classer to grade your cotton, and it will cost you nothing for the grading.
 The Government classer grades cotton on the Govern ment standards. The Govern ment standards have been adopt e6 by all the principal cotton ex changes and markets in this country. When your cotton is graded by our Government cot ton classer it will not be neces sary to cut your bale and take sample. The ginner is under bond to take 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. That is better than anybody's sampling.
 It is a burning shame for the farmers of Arkansas to raise and market crop worth hund red million dollars and not know the value of their product except what is told them by the local b3yer. The shame is 1haScssx
The Carlisle independent., 1917-09-27

greater by the fact that very few of the local buyers know the val ue except what is told them by the cotton buyers from the points of concentration. Not one bale in ten is sold by the farm CT on grade, and not half is sold by the merchants on grade. but is shipped out in lots without grading.
 We now have a system of grad ing 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 guar antee of grade.
 A good many cotton buyers and ginners are trying to dis courage the farmers about the law and the system. If the farm CTS and local merchants could know how much they have both lost in the past they would un- derstand some of the knocks against the law. Some ginners claim the buyers will not buy on gin samples, and buyers will TO doubt insist on cutting the bale and taking a sample. One cotton buyer in Nashville got six bales of cotton from the samples he cut from farmers cotton last year, and Nashville markets only about 5000 bales. Practically all foreign cotton is sold on gin sam ples. Over 100000 bales of for eign cotton is shipped to the United States and sold on gin samples.
 1 hope the cotton growers will lend their cooperation under the operation of this new law and will take advantage of it's benefit.

Amsterdam, Oct. IA sensational
report that German will have a new
chancellor by the time the Reichstag
recOnvenes on December s. is in cir.
culation today. 1t is evidently based
upon a dispatch from Berlin quoting
the Tageblatt as saying that another
chancellorship crisis is imminent.
The explanation given regarding the
the resignation OF Admiral Won Cap
pellee as minister of marine in the
German cabinet. was that "A man of
sterner stuff was needed" This evi.
dently means that Won Cappellee Was
held responsible for not nipping In
the bud of mutiuous outbreak in the
fleet.
The opinion was advanced today
that the disaffectiOn In the German
fleet might prevent the contemplated
naval operation against the Russian
bases In the Baltic.
The influence of the Russian rev0lu.
tion has bitten more deeply into the
German navy that either the army or
the civilian population, and the Ger

the sailors would refuse to 60 against
