BOYS URGED To ENLIST
FOR COTTON PICKING
Appeal Made to Members of
Working Reserve by Pro-
feSSor Derry

An appeal to Georgia boys enrolled In
the United States boys working reserve
to enlist for cotton picking on the
farms was issued Saturday by Prof 10
seph T. Derry. federal state director
for the movement, as follows:
THE Georgia boys who enrolled in
the United States boys working reserve
and who, because of the late closing
of the schools for the summer vacation,
lost an opportunity for work in the
peach orchards, have not splendid OPP
portunity for farm work. The cotton
be great loss to the farmers if they
have not sufficient hands to gather in
the crop. In Illinois, so patriotic are
the city and town boys that they walk
out into the country, go to the farmers
and make their own bargains with them.
What prevents our Georgia boys from
doing the same thingI If the schools
open before the expiration of the six
weeks work, they can, by getting en-
Ployment on the nearby farms, work
In the afternoons ana Oh saturdays uH-
til they shall have served the full six
weeks necessary for securing the fed.
eral bronze badge, besides having made
a good sum of money for themselves to
help pay their expenses for the coming
winter. But far above any monetary
profit thus obtained will be the satisfac-'
ton of having helped to save Georgia's
greatest money crop.
The boys who live IN the country
and IN small towns have by their Corn
clubs and Pig clubs, done a great work
for their state, as well as for them
selves. These and all other boys be-
tween the ages of sixteen and twenty
one can enroll at once in the United
States boys working reserve and win
the badge of honor given by the United
States government for any kind of work
essential for the winning of the war
Remember, the government so regards
all farm work. Lose no time, boys, but
get right to work"

Gentlemen:
For two weeks past / have been con-
hned to my bed with malaTial fever, but
was able to reach my offices for short
time yesterday. There L learned that
you were considering placing so per
cent rate upon cotton received in less
than carload lots, in excess of the car
load lot rate.

take place, and that the fullest hearing
be given to those interested.
am hardly in condition to DISCUSS
the subject at this time, but even partly
sick and without consideration, L be-
lieve [ might suggest reasons at least
sumciunt for delay.
First-The fact that for many years
the railroads of the cotton states nave
moved cotton in carload lots and without
discrimination as to price when received
in less than carload lots, must OF ltselI
suggest to you that such a course would
not have been pursued unless amply
convincing reasons existed for II.
Secondly own observation has been
that cotton really moves in carload
lots. even though received at a station
in less than carload quantities con-
centration point may be twenty-five or
even fifty miles from the small town Inc
farmers bring their cotton to the town
in quantities perhaps from one to twenty
bales. They deliver ii at the station Tor
shipment to the concentration point
where the large cotton buyers reside.
The cotton is held for few days at
the depot, without expense to the rail-
road. il being a commodity which can
be piled upon the platform. or even
nlaced outside the platform under
