PAGES WEEKLY LETTER

Little Rock, Nov 27.-Last week failed to write you on account of having been called to New Orleans to judge the agricultural products of the great fair and live stock show
 and I wish I could have the space to tell you of the things of interest seen at that great fair. On my re.
 turn trip I travelled by daylight. a distance of 800 miles through a strict ly cotton country, and I saw only seven crews of cotton pickers in the field. Between Memphis and New Orleans, a distance of 400 miles, there was not as much as five bales of unpicked cotton in the fields to be seen from the train. This means that nearly all of the cotton has been picked and ginned, and that the world is going to be surprised at the small cotton crop for this season. It means tOO,. that cotton will be selling around forty cents a pound before next July. I have been trying to make money for the farmers this year by advising them to hild their cotton. Some have taken my ad- vice. and everybody, to a man, who has done so, has made money by it, and can make more. I am your sen tinel on the watch tower, and it is my duty to tell you these things. If you fail to take heed, and lose money. it Is your fault say to the

farmers, in all earnestness, you have sold your cotton too cheap The spectators are in many instances making as much on your crop as you are, or more. Cotton has been sold in Liverpool this month for forty two cents pound. It costs six many farmers are getting thirty six cents a pound? Don't rush your cot ton to market. Hold it. Warehouse it and borrow money on it.
 The early frost hurt cotton twenty five per cent. Millions of unopen bolls are in the field. They are worth money. Machines are made to break these bolls so they can be ginned Some ginners are putting them in, others will. Save these bolls. Gather and dry them. If your ginner cannot use them or gin them ship them to some ginner that can. or run them through thresh- ing mashine or pea huller, and then the ginner can gin them. Dr. C. B. Gannaway of Russellville is putting in breaker to handle these bolls, and will pay from $1.75 to S2.50 a hundred pounds for them. Don't lose the value of these green, frost killed unOpen bOlls. They are worth money
 Now is the time to breed your brood sows for pigs next spring. Don't delay or overlook this matter. Breed every SOW and gilt on the place. Prepare some ground for spring pasture for the pigs. Sow it in rape and spring rye in February Clover can be sown in February or March when land is suited. Sow a patch of sorghum for the hogs to be turned on in July or August, when other grasses are burned out by dry weather. Plant soy beans for fattening in the fall. Plant whip poorwill peas or velvet beans in all your corn and along all fence rows ditches and turn-rows. Put the idle spots to work. Remember that a good fat hog is worth about as
 much now as negro baby was before the war. Raise pigs and

 The girls letter said:

DEFENSE!COUNCILS
 TO AID IN DRAFT
GENERAL cROWDER ASKS ALL TO HELP IN CLASSIFYING ALL REGIsTRANTs - COOPERATION IS KEYNOTE.

Washington, Nov. 26.-County and city councils of defense were urged today by Provost Marshal General Crowder to assist the local exemp- tion boards in classifying the nearly 10,000,000 men subject to the select i've draft
 There is in every city, in every hamlet almost, council of defense,'' said General Crowder. '"The organi- zations were built to help the nation in it's emergency. This is their op- portunity. Everywhere are men who need help in the preparation of their questionaires. The legal advisory boards will be the advisory commit tees. They will need men to go into the homes and factories. Meet ings should be organized. posters should be displayed, lists should be prepared, all looking to the help of the man and the quickening of the nations man-power into action.
 I an. confident that as result of this call every local board will be aided in its efforts and every dis trict will be visited. The 20 days following December 15 should find every patriot on duty"
 General Crowder said that county and city councils of defense and civic organizations have offered to assist the local and district boards in securing clerical help and in other ways. The boards were urged to encourage such offers and to CO operate with the organizations as far as consistent with their duties.
