Quite large number of our popu-

of the governments offer of $425 a

Women Of the Southwest have q

food conservation, bought Liberty
bonds, Red Cross memberships, thrift

 MT. Brown is leader among farm CTS of the South He was one of the first advocates, both in his practice and in his writings, of diversification on the part of Southern farmers. For many years he has been a valued con- tributor to leading agricultural jour- nals throughout the United States, as we'll as to the daily press; among the latter is the well-known Atlanta Journal.
 Learning of the extraordinary re- suits which had been obtained with Irogen by people whom he knew we'll, Mir. Brown decided to investigate for himself.

ASK RELAXATION
 OF COTTON RULES
Southern Senators and Repre- sentatives Seek to Facilitate Shipments of Cotton to For eign Countries.

Washington, Nov. 14-Senators and representatives from the cotton grow ing states and members of the Cotton States Advisory Marketing Board at meeting here today named commit tees to confer with government agen- cies with a view to securing relaxa tion of regulations affecting the dis tribution of cotton. A letter was also written to President Wilson calling his attention to conditions in the cot ton industry and asking his aid in the efforts to move the accumulated stock in the South.
 Senator Smith of Georgia, who called the conference, announced after the meeting that subcommittees were appointed to take up with the War Trade and War Industries Boards the matter of a more liberal licensing sys- tenn for cotton shipments abroad, while another committee was named to ask the Shipping Board to supply additional tonnage for this triffic.
 Those attending the conference said that because of restrictions placed on the export of cotton the market has become stagnant while immense stocks are accumulating in the southern states. These stocks now are approx imately 500,000 bales in excess of those on hand this time last year, they said.
