Henry The Banner
Cotton CO. In 1917.

The remarkable statement was
made by John T. Currier, the vet
eran cotton man, of Paris, that the
Henry county cotton crop of 1917
went over the Top of that of 1916
by probably 200 bales, This is &C
counted for by the fact that Henry
county farmers increased the cot
ton acreage some 1913 per cent. in
1917 over that of the year before
but with all this Henry county pro-
duced last year but $500 bales, of
which the Paris gin handled 1900
bales. The good county of Henry

AMERICAN RED CROSS NOTES

Due to the large number of men
wounded or sick in France, the need
for increased supplies of the above
named articles is great and ever in
creasing. Six million articles are
needed now. The need is urgent.
This amount cannot be bought, and
must be supplied from household
stocks, if supplied at all, to reach
France in time to relieve the present
emergency.
Examine now your home stock of
sheets, hand towels, bath towels,
handkerchiefs, and napkins, and as
much as YOU can spare, give. The
articles should be white, strong goods,
cotton, or linen.
Send to the Red Cross linen shower
headquarters. p Washington street.
The vegetable gardens for conva-
descent soldiers at the American army
hospitals in France have proved so
successful that the American Red
Cross has sent a representative to this
country to secure ten expert market
gardeners to direct such activities at
all American hospitals in France. To
convalescent soldiers these gardens
offer useful and interesting occupa-
ton, and have been of great practi-
cal service according to reports from
France. In many cases of shell shock
the doctors have agreed that farm
work is one of the best restOratiVes.
Other patients. however, greatly en-
JOY the outdoor activities and many
have become so attached to the soil
that they have announced their in
tention of obtaining farms on their
return to the United States.
The gardens, moreover, provide
quantities of fresh green vegetables
to the diet kitchens and especially
certain American vegetables not
common in France but very popular
with the patients.
The garden attached to Base Hos
pital No. 6, for example, produced
more than two tons of green vege-
tables in less than three months. AS
a result the hospital tables were we'll
stocked with radshes, potatoes, beans
and lettuce. Included is a large
planting of green corn, which will
enable our boys to enjoy corn on the
cob, a vegetable practically unobtain-
able in French markets.
