COTTON SEED PRICES FIXED.

Vicksburg, Miss, October 21-
To County Food Administrators:
On October 9th / sent you q tele-
gram reading as follows:
Based on analysis Of. seed
by DR.. w. F. Hand, State
Chemist, effective Monday
morning, October 21st, 1918,
the price of cotton seed in This
state, is fixed at $70.5O per
, ton, Delta Zone, railroad
points. $67. Hill Zone, car
lots. Wagon lots So per ton
less than above prices. River
seed by boat 81 perton less
than railroad points. Details
follow by mail"
which I now beg to confirm.
- / enclose herewith q further
communication showing just how
the value of seed in the different
counties in this state have been
arrived at. l will thank you to
give publicity to the circular let
ter enclosed so that planters, seed
agents. oil mills and the public
generally may be informed as to
the method followed by the Food
Administration in fixing prices.
l realize that many dealers in
seed will probably be surprised
and possibly disappointed in the
prices that have been fixed, but
however much this is to be regret
ted, the facts are that the prices
Of seed this year were based on
the yield from last season, as
shown by the books Of the oil
mills, and it was reasonable to
suppose that approximately the
same yields would be obtained
this season, but owing to the
drouth forcing an early maturity
of cotton, the yields a sshown are
very much less than last year,
hence the prices as announced by
the Food Administration have
proven to be too high, and under
the circumstances, the only thing
to do was to fix prices to conform
to the analysis which shows the
actual yields.
1t. is the purpose Of the Food
Administration Of each state to
have analysis made once or twice
each month in order to keep post
ed as regards the yields.
s Yours very truly,
P. NJ. HARDING,
Federal Food Administrator.

Bulgarian Plea
Evidence That
Germany is Lost
Associated Press Service:

Associated Press Service:
LONDON, Sept 2S.-The military
of the Manchester
Guardian says that the Bulgarian
overtureS for an armistice and
peace are much more than an ad-
mission that Bulgaria is defeated :;
they express her formal verdict
that Germany has lost the war.
Bulgaria came into the war on
the strength of her conviction that
Germany was invincible." says the
correspondent When her front
was broken through last week Bull
garia must have asked Germany
and Austria what measures they
could take TO save her. and the
present proposal of Bulgaria shows
the character of the answer.
Since the allied attack in the
Balkans opened no Austrian troops
have been reported on the Bull
garian front. Some Germans have
been encountered, but they were
there before the present attack be-
gan.
Germany would willingly send
such reinforcements as she could.
but the Bulgarians have made up
.heir minds they would be insult
cient and would arrive too late. and
that Germany has lost the war in
France"
