The price fixed by the government
for cotton seed in this locality is $66
per ton To the producer. Seed receiv-
ed to date are not proving very produc-
tive as an average Of only "a gallons
Of oil to the ton is being gotten as
agatilst n eallons last season This
Is proving heavy loss to-the oil mills
since they are getting about 81 per
ton less than the government intend

Mr.. Percy Pylant hes demonstrated
what may be made for the Red Cross
in ones back yard. He planted one
gallon of Irish potatoes and realized
from the sale Of same $3.75. He also
planted pumpkins and sold them for
$2.4O. Mr.. Pylant promptly turned
this over to the Red Cross and says he
has a good crop of second crop Irish
potatoes on the same spot that will go
to the same cause. Mr.. Pylant is a
| ard working and deserving young
man.
The cotton crop still promises
better yield than was expected month
or six weeks ago. The price in the
local market has been little bit off
this week, and has ranged from 21.50
to 33 cents. There is still much talk
of ~the government fixing price on
cotton and from present indications
this will be done. Local receipts DUR
ing the past week have been unusually
good. Picking is going on with rush
and the gins of the county are all
crowded.
Country roads would be in ideal cen
dition now if only the split-log drsr
had been used freely just after the
rains. But in most places this simple
yet most effective instrument is still
unused and as result the roads are
full of ruts and ridges. Some day our
people will wake up to the fact that
this is the cheapest and most effective
way of keeping dirt roads in condi-
tion, but as yet Haywood county has
given it little attention.
All people in Haywood county who
own automobiles are requested to be
in town Saturday morning, September
28, to join in the Fourth Liberty Loan
parade. The parade will begin at 10
o'clock. Report at the county court
room; there will be someone there to
direct you. Don't go home without Wis
iting the ladies' booth. They will be
there to take orders for Liberty Bonds.
This booth will be located on the pub
lie square. Let's all feel good and do
our part toward saving the boys.
