Free from Gin Cut, Smooth

Messrs. Hicks Co., Ltd, City.
Gentlemen Replying to your
request for our opinion as to the
ginning of cotton recently bought
from you for account of Messrs.
j. w. Duncan Co., of Colfax,
Will say, that it was as per-
fectly ginned as any cotton we
have ever handled. as evidenced
by freedom from gin-cut, elimi-
nation of all extraneous matter,
and the production of a smooth,
even sample throughout the
bale.
1t affords us pleasure to give
this testimonial in the interest of
the best possible handling of
cotton.
Yours very truly,

Plant All Fall Crops Possible.

Plant All Fall Crops Possible.
Letters from various parts of
the state to Jno. M. Parker, food
administrator for Louisiana,
show that there is another food
menace to meet which intelligent
cooperation is necessary. The
complaints are that owing to a
drouth of considerable duration
the corn is already spotted and
there is liable to be much depre-
citation by harvest time. Out
side of any financial loss involp-
ed there is danger OF decreased
feed supply for the states fast
growing live stock industry. In
advance of regular and serious
study of the situation, Mr.. Par
ker advises that the farmers play
safe and plant some other crops
in time so as to make sure Of
enough feed. He also adds to
the constant urging to multiply
the number of silos. as they viii
go a long way towards saving
the corn that is raised and de-
rive the fullest value from other
crops.
