DON'T RUSH YOUR
COTTON TO GINS
SEED WILL KEEP BETTER IN THE
LINT, SAYS FOOD MAN

DIR. Andrew NJ Soule, Federal Adj
ministrator for Georgia, having re-
received information from various
sections of the state that the farmers
are unable, in many instances. to
promptly dispose of their cotton seed
after bringing same to market, has
through his varions county organi-
cations, made diligenI inquiry into
the situation and it develops that due
to the high percentage of moisture i'll
the seed which prevents the mills
from storing in large quantities and
also to the fact the mills are unable
to obtain labor to run their plants at
full capacity, they are not buying or
crushing seed in as large quantities
rs the capacity of the plant won
permit
Another cause for congestion is
that the mills operating in the dis
trict where they are dependent upon
electrical energy for their power are
unable to get power to operate their
plants, due to the lack of rain in the
territory where this hydro-electric
power is furnished The farmers are
requested not to rush their cotton to
the gin until the condition of the seed
become better and labor condition
are improved for the seed will keep
better in the form of seed cotton than
they will after having been ginned.
The Food Administration is much
concerned about the loss of the by
products from cotton seed, due to
congestion and appeals to all parties
interested to do everything possible
to conserve and care for the seed,
avoiding this deterioration which
causes the loss of food for both man
and beast and which is so necessary
to the Nation in its crisis.

NEW PLAN TO STOP

Atlanta. Ga. September 2O.-Al-
though the government has not gone
so far, as yet, to order the discon-
tinuance of automobile pleasure

tics of the Fuel Administration have
worked out a plan which they be-
lieve will prove about as effective as

owners of car swho take convalescent
soldiers to ride, milk delivery trucks

GERMAN GRAVES
PROBLEM FOR

HAVE NOT DECIDED WHAT TO DO
WITH THIS OFFENSE TO
FRENCH

With The American Army on the
Lorraine Front, Sept 81. ASSOCIATED
Press is rife in the
American army as what will be the dis
position of the German grave yard
found just northeast of st. Mihiel on
the Vigneulles road and which, tho
eloquent testimony to German regard
for their dead, may easily be consider
ed offensive to the French. The Chief
reason is that all the German graves
have been surmounted by elaborate
marble and granite headstones bear
ing the iron cross and eulogistic in
scriptions.
There are some thirty graves in
all. members of the thirteenth Royal
Barvarian infantry regiment who were
killed during their occupation of the
ST Mihiel salient.

LAY STEEL IN NEW YARDS
SOME TIME NEXT WEEK
No Work Done Yet on Shops or
Other Necessary Buildings
for Division Point

Not less than 1875 men have been
put to work by Roadmaster Butler
of the s. p preparing grades for
the trackage for the new freight d.
vision at this point, with the result
that the grades are expeced to be
in shape to permit the laying of the
first steel some time next week. The
new trackage is all on the south side
Of the main track and will extend
nearly a mile east from the station,
the new yard limit being at the
smelter crossing, exactly a mile
from Gold avenue crossing. The
only intervening crossing, at Dia-
mond avenue, has been abolished.
Altogether, nearly four miles of
new track will be laid, all of which
is expected to be down by the first
OF November. Deming should be a
full-fledged operating division point
by the first Of the year, according
to pan, though some Of the new
buildings necessary will not be COM
pleted by that time, notably the
shops, location for which has not
yet been definitely settled. All the
new buildings will be in the area east
Of the station and south of the main
track.
Shortage of labor is one thing that
may delay the establishing of the
division here, though at present no
more men are needed on the job.
The labor bureau here was called on
for fifty men the first of the week
and succeeded in producing twenty
five before being notified that the
company had raised the rest from
other sources.
