ITALIAN ARMY HEAD
Quarters, Sunday, June 23.
--( -(Night)--Thc great retreat
by the Austrians along the
Piave front began under cover
of darkness on Saturday night.
The retreating troops left their
cannon behind them.
Italian detachments are pur-
suing the enemy east of the
Piave. When 1t was observed
that the Austrians had begun
a retrograde movement, the
Italians began to attack vir-
tuslly all along the Pisve line
from Montello on the north,
well towards the mouth of the
river. The attack was quickly
pressed and became more in
sistent, assisted by violent ar
tillcry fire.
The Austrian retreat which
began In an orderly manner,
soon became wildly disor-
gsnixed and confused. Many
thousands Of Austro-Hunsa-
rians surrendered at the first
opportunity when overtaken by
their pavsuers.
The number of guns left be-
hind by the Austrians as they
retreated, has not yet been
computed, but is said to be
very great.
Machine Gun Bsrrage.
Austrian troops left to cover
the retreat used their ma
chine guns to set up a barrage
fire.
The work Of the American
aviators who appeared on the
front last week for the first
time contributed notably to the
disorganization of the Aus
trian forces which had crossed
the Piave, according to Raj.
faele Carmel, correspondent OF
the Milan Secolo.
Attack on Whole Front.
The Italian attack began a
8 o'clock on Sunday. On thu
Montello, on the left flank, tn,
attack was carried out al
along the line through Candell
to San Dona di Piave.

PUBLIC COTTON GRADER.


Marketing Cotton in Best Possible
Way-See Your County Commits
sioners About Providing for Grader.
To the Editor of The Robesonian;
It is once more nearing the time
for the farmers Of this grand old
county Of ours to begin to harvest
one Of the largest cotton crops that
we have made in many years. Also
it is time for the farmers to begin
to see that this crop is marketed in
the best possible way.
Which is impossible unless it is
properly graded. The question natur
ally arises, how is this to do done?
The answer to this is that our Natlo =.
al Department of Agriculture, cooper
ating with the State Department, will
do it for us, provided we help just
little.
The Government pays the grader,
but we are asked to make little ap-
preparation to help bear the expenses
Of same, such as Office rent, clerk hire,
etc. To get this appropriation it IS
necessary for the farmers to see their
county commissioners and get them t.
make an appropriation of $3.50 which
is all that it will cost the farmers or
taxpayers of Robson to have all the
c, tton in Robson graded
can hear some one say that this g
not at all necessary as we have cot
ton buyers that know how to grade
cotton. This may be true but l have
heard buyers say that they did not
know the different grades, and you
can be sure that they are going to
play safe. On the other hand, the
farmer does not know the grades. The
cotton grader does and is dlsinter-
ested person, SO he will give both the
farmer and the buyer fair show.
/ We had the grading last year. 1t
was a new thing and some OF our
farmers were slow to take on to 1t.
But this year they will know what
to do and will do it.
1t is also an advantage to the GIN
ner in that he knows when he is 90
i ing good work, and can get more gin
ming to do for the reason that the
farmer wants the best turnout that NJ
can get. :.
The question now arises, where !
the grader to be located, and how /
he to get the samples?
The grader is located at some cen
trail place where he can get the sam
ples best and where he will be bes
suited to the territory that he Wi
serve. The samples are drawn by tn
ginner, placed in wrapper furnishe
, by the Government. A tag furnlshe
I by the government is placed on tn
bale and a duplicate tag is placed l
the sample drawn. The sample is the
placed in a bag furnished by the Coy
The Robesonian., 1918-08-05

getting it's full value.
Now l hear some one saying, what
is the ginner going to get for his
trouble? Last year he got two cents
per sample and will be paid again this
year.
Now, brother farmer, if you are in
terested in this, see your county COM
missioner and let's have our cotton
graded.
Would like to hear from some 9TH
er farmers on the subject.

ernment. This bag is either carried
to the postoffice or the r. F. D. carrier
takes it. All postage is paid by the
Government-rather. it requires no
postage, as it is franked The grader
grades the sample and mails the own
er Of the bale card showing the
grade and the price above or below
middling that he ought to get for his
cotton.
Now the farmer can tell by looking
at the market what he ought to get
for his cotton on any market in the
U. S. When he is ready to sell he
can call up the buyer, say 1 have SC

buying. The farmer can sell his cot
