When the aportionment of labor
needed for the war service plants was
made early this month the number fix
ed as needed to come from Fsyette
county was SO. There being no county
Organization here. the men who have
gone to Nashville and Sheffield have
counted to reduce that quota. Accord
ing to J, F. Croker who was here
Tuesday representing the War Labor
Board it is expected of this county that
we get busy and send SO volunteers to
them for needed war work at the ear
hest possible date. He thinks that la.
Dor needed now for Nashville and Shelf
field will complete their work at
those plants by early apring in time
to make next years crops.

The first bale of cotton OF the season
for Fayette- county was brought to
Somervile this year on last Wednesday,
August 81, 80 days ear lier than was
the first bale last year. John Bryant
who lives on land belonging to the
R. L. Day estate in the first district
brought in the first bale and it was
ginned free of charge by the Madison
Cotton Oil Compsny's gin and was sold
TO G. W. Locke on the following day
at BOT cents per pound. and with the
seed brought the grower in round num-
bers $780, Another bale was ginned
and sold here Saturday last and brought
the grower 1924. So, the seed included.
II these prices hold, as now seems
certain. the crop will prove one of toe
most valuable ones the county ever
grew. But every word coming from
farmers over the county indicates a
short crop of both cotton and corn, ex-
cept in few sections where rains have
been more frequent than over most Of
the county, Somerville and vicinity had
the last season on June 5. with nothing
but showers since. and few of these,
and the crop is short in this part of
the county.
