FIGHTING OUT OF HOT PLACES

In the details of the desperate
fighting the Americans have been en-
gagged in on the Hindenburg line there
is much of comfort if one will only
look for it. For instance, that they
were faced by many, hidden nests of
maclline guns at nOint blank range
when they rushed from the trenches,
does not indicate that the Americans
were torn to pieces by these machine
guns-not by any means. The Amer
leans have way of their own Of

of camoufaged machine guns. but the

Food Administrator Henry A. Page
. Reaches important Agreement With
Cottonseed crushers-Faremrs Urg-
ed to Pool Seed. d..

Raleigh.-The cottonseed producers
OF North Carolina. will receive tens OF
thousands of dollars extra this year as
q result of an agreement reached be-
tween State Food Administrator
Henry A. Page and the North Carolina
Cot:onseed Crushers' Association,
whereby the crushers are to pay the
same, prices to. farmers as they pay to
cottonseed dealers on lots of ten tons
or more delivered at their mills. with
in a period of five days. The Crush
ersagreed to not only do this but to
encourage the smaller farmers to pool
their seed so as to secure the higher
price, which otherwise would be lost.
The difference between the carlot rate
and wagon rate for seed is $500 per
ton which the farmer can save by the
new agreement.
Mr.. Page authorized and instructed
the mills, where farmers haul seed
from a point nearer to railway ship
ping point than to the mill, to pay the
farmer for hauling the amount they
would have been compelled to pay as
freight from the shipping point.
These agreements and orders will
result not only in a saving of tens of
thousands of dollars to the farmers
but will effect tremendous saving in
freight tonnage and bring about the
supplying of all mills to a much
greater extent from their immediate
localities.
