gave out a statement of his views On

gave out a statement of his views On
the cotton question as follows:
Cotton Is not a sectional question:
said Mr.. McLaurin. Its monopoly by
the United States is one Of our most
valuable national assets. There is one
reason why II cotton prices are fixed
they will certainly be high. We must
maintain the American dollar at par
in every country in the world, because
We are financing the war. Early in the
war, when the United States was ex-
porting billions all over the world. our
dollar stood at par everywhere. Now
that our iron and steel and other pro-
ducts are being consumed II IS below
par in some neutral countries, notably
Spain. The only way to maintain IL
III par is TO make the value Of our eX-
ports equal TO or exceed those or our
Imports. Cotton Is the only product
which can perform that function. We
are Obliged TO have certain products
from Spain for use in fertilizer ana
ore production. If they raise the price
Of these, the only thing Is to raise the
price of cotton. which she can get no
where else.
Il suppose when the president spoke
Of controlling the distribution Of cot
ton, 1t was with reference to this con-
ditiOn Of affairs. Cotton has been for
40 years the main factor in our bal
ance Of trade and it is our best rcll-
ancc now III maintaining the Amerl-
can dollar at par in neutral countries.
Why cheaper our own products
abroad?
Il have not figured out the cost OF
this crop, but l sec in the Progressive
Farmer that it Is placed at SO cents Il
pound and that is not far out Of line
with my own calculations. Labor has
been scarce all the year 1 had to
make my choice between losing Il part
Of my cotton or corn crop and Of
course l let the corn 80. II / count
that as an expense my cotton will cost
me over 80 cents. Whatever is done
should be done at once The talk
about price fixing has cost the small
farmers heavily and we ought to know
where We are at.

The training Of bakers for service

demand Tor skilled breadmakers on
the hundreds Of new ships being built
by the shipping board for the govern
ment. Fundamentally il was prompt
ed by the requirements of the mod
crn sailors diet, which is vastly better
than his Sca-going ancestors ever
dreamed of having.
In %?andfath"r'S day q ship took on

casks, before leaving home. This sup
ply WAS to last until The end of the
voyage, though that might be Il year or
two. The bread was in the form of
hard biscuits. Il kept fairly well
when dry, but often it got damp and

The olG-time American sailors ideal
Of dietary luxury therefore was plenty
Of soft" fresh bread. Coupled with
that he had daily visits of pies and
buildings such as mother made back

at sea in fancy only, for his sole des-
Sert, after his meal of hard bread and

RAISE MORE PIGS,

Farm Agent Says 1t Is A Patriot

OF Swine

The Fall pigs arc going to be worth
more money this year than ever be-
fore. and everything should be done
from q financial, as well as a pa
triotic standpoint 10 raise as many as
possible to maturity. A pig now is
worth twice as much as it was when
pork was selling for nine cents. The
feed given the brood SOW Will have 4
direct bearing upon the pigs saved.
A good ration for the brood in dry
lot is: Corn 10 parts, shorts parts,
bran 8 parts. oil meal or tankagc
part. Ear Of corn may De fed and
the remainder of the ration given in
q thin slop twice day.
Do not let the sow get too fat.
Give her plenty of exercise while she
is with pig. Watch 70 signs of far-
rowing and plan to give your undivid
ed attention TO the SOW at this time.
# ore pig is saved which would
otherwise be lost it is time well
spent. See that the pigs do not
become chilled and that they all find
tcats, BE sure that the SOW is
properly housed, that she has sulfi-
Gent ventilation and sunshine and
good clean bedding. Bed lightly at
narrowing time. \ guard rail about
SIX inches from the floor around TIE
sides Of the house so the pigs can get
uurder it often keeps the sow from
laying on them.
The foregoing ration for the SOW,
if fed dry in a small pen which ex-
cludes Their mother but gives the
pigs access to it all times, will teach
the young pigs to cat and will start
them growing. Thrifty pigs can bel
raised economically. If there is soma
forage for pasture. Alfalfa, clover,
rye, or blue grss on which to start
before the winter sets in, will make
TIE pigs much more hardy. Winter
rye should be sown this fall for pas
ture during winter and carly spring A
liberal supply of clean drinking
water IS very essential. In the win
ter 1t should be heated to remove
the chill. Pigs started right in the

The young sea bakers being trained
ny the shipping board are under the
direction of skilled instructors, who
give them not only verbal advice. bUs
supply them with written directions
covering the more obvious points in
their new work.
Here are a few "hints" issued to the
student bakers on the Bradford:
To achieve success. the baker must
use judgment and care. Some flour
requires more wafer or milk than 9th
ers. SO that the quantity may have TO
be varied to make dough of Il proper
consistency.
Different bakings will vary as to
time and heat required and should,
therefore, be examined Occaei0naIIv.
To ascertain whether the bread or
cake is sufficiently done in the cen
ter of the loaf, thrust Il clean straw
or long, thin splinter into it. If
done, there viii be no dough on it
when drawn out.
Measure the flour and be careful to
mix with it the baking powder in a
dry state, and before sitting.
You can always substitute water for
milk or milk for water, butter for
lard or lard for butter.
In cake the number of eggs max be
increased or diminished, or in a plain
;er cake dispensed with entirely.
Where fewer eggs are used than
directed, always use little more bak-
ing powder. Never, use sour milk.
, In baking loaf cake, remember that
Iunless you place a piece of paper over
for protection at first, a top crust will
be formed ut once, that prevents the |
raising. When cake is well raised re-
move the paper for browning On top.
