We are in receipt of q
lengthy article from the
head OF the Va, Carolina
Chemical Co., taking issue
with those who are endeav-
orjng to further curtail the
cotton acreage. He bases
his argument on the value
of cotton as a food plant
showing how much food is
secured from the seed OF cot
ton for both man aud beast.
He says as much as 140
pounds of compound lard
comes from the seed of one
bale OF cotton. In addition
to the oil compound from
the seed OF one bale comes
from $50 to 800 pounds OF
hulls, lint from the hulls and
cotton seed meal. The ar
gument produced by this
big fertilizer manufactures
is very well taken. Our farm
ers should not discard cot
ton altogether but if there
ever was a time when it
should be a surplus crop
this is the year.

THRIFT AND THE HOME
GAMER.

The home Gamer is the winter

things mentioned in numbr 26 OF
these talks and puts them away
for winter use. With it you can

can also can your "Hog and HON

better canned than before can
ming. My advice is that you in
stall home Gamer and "can
everything you cam while you
eatevery thing you can not.
The simplest Home Gamer is
the kitchen stove and the boiler
Wherever you can get water to
boil you can can, only you should
know how to do it simply and
easily. 1t is no long, hot, hard
process, if only you know how.
But most of us do not know how.
There are graduates OF colleges
who do not know how to can
peaches been too busy learning
/ allabout books of the past to
give any attention to a small
matter like canning. AS in
most things there is q best way
to can and there are other ways.
The '.best way" to can anything
is TO finish the job of packing
and sealing before you think OF
putting your can in the cooker
whether that cooker be steam or
/. waller. lii a nice, shady, cool
place you pack il just as you
want it and seal it SO it can not
ieak SO it can not let anything
%itherrin or cut, snd then put i
in your tank and process for the
required length of time. How
simple this is. No scalding your
hands, no time uor good taste
lost in exhausting no spoiled cans
after you finish, especially it you
can in tin, for every tin can will
show in family when packed and
processed this way if it is not
securely sealed, and you can
mend it then, Yes, if you try the
cold pack and the cold seal plan
you will never have any other
Yon can multiply your output,
and divide your time and trouble
in canning.
For health and happiness, fol
pleasure and profit, for eating
and economy, for temperance
and THRIFT, we must can every
thing we can.

the ages of 21 to 80.
After the registration will
come the work Of exempting

retary of war has said it
would be as late as Septem-
Der before those drafted
