Lancaster County Teachers associa-
ton, the February meeting. will be
held in the auditorium of the Central
graded school building, February s.
and not only are all progressive
teachers in the county who have this
important part OF their work at
heart, very earnestly urged to be

pathetic encouragement to the teach

United States Department of
Agriculture Issues State
ment on Cotton.
LESS COTTON; MORE FOOD
Farmers are Urged to Produce
Less of Single Money Crop
and More of the Necessary
Supplies.

washington, Jan. 27.-Farmers
OF the south were advised, in state
ment issued by the department of
agriculture. that it would be wise to
adjust cotton acreage this year SO
as to have available sufficient land
to produce enough food and feed for
their families and live stock.
IF the industrial conditions in all
the cotton consuming countries do
not reach normal. and if the indus
try is not restored, the consump-
ton OF cotton will be substantially
less than pre-war acreage reuuire-
ments,' said the statement. With
practically complete restoration cot
ton consumption may we'll be expect
ed to equal the normal or pre-war
times on account OF the present
shortage of cotton goods in various
countries. The economies which the
peoples of Europe must practice for
years to come must be considered"
Average requirements outside the
United States were given as 1000
600 bales, domestic requirements
$500, 1000 bales. The American 1918
crop is estimated at 11,7OO,OOO
bales. After domestic consumptiou
requirements are taken care of there
will be an exportable surplus OF l.
100000 bales. Other producing

To the Tobacco Growers of Southern

Owing TO the very unusual conditions

the limit. We, like the State Tobacco
Warehouse, have been handicapped BY
extraordinary lack Of shipments fyom

10 warehouse tobacco as fast as it ar
rives, necessitating embargoes until We
can find relief by shipping.
Information has reached us that from
our letters and personal solicitation re-
guessing shipments OF tobacco to us, that
The impression has been formed that we
rould obtain warehousing of tobacco in
he State Tobacco Warehouse notwith-
standing the embargo that had been is
sued. This was not intended and we
desire to state that the State Tobacco
Warehouse has offered every facility
available for the storage of tobacco to
its capacity without discrimination to
any commission house or shipper
We are trying to hurry shipments

Of our shippers as soon as we can make

find early relief
