 We are very sorry that you are not entirely satisfied with the distribution made of your packets, but we beg to assure you that from the reports we have had of Christmas in the various cantonments the packages distributed in America. did a great deal toward cheering the hearts of our men ill training ever here.

PROTEST AGAINST
 ANY CONTROL OF
 PRICE OF COTTON
CBN \ ASSOciatcd Press.

New Orleans, Jan. 10.--ResOlutions adopted at a meeting here late today of the association of the state presi- dent of Farmers union approved tho general plan of the selectiye service uuestionnaires, but asked that ex- cmptiOn boards define a skilled farm labOrer as "any man who under stands and knows how to do farm work rather than as a graduate of an agricultural school. Another res olutlon called upon all cotton farm CTS to continue diversified farming and increased food and feed crops, even tho it should be necessary to decrease cotton acreage. In an ad- dress to the public, the association in part says:
 "We protest against any interfer- cnce with the price of cotton be- cause, in 1914, when cotton was as low as five cents, and the farmers asked for help, they were told that the law of supply of and demand must regulate the prices. Now we ask that the same law be allowed to rule in 191S."
 The membership of the association is composed of presidents of the Far mers' union of 13 southern states.
