GOVERNMENT EMPLOYMENT
AGENCY FOR YOUNG LADIES

Miss Elizabeth A. Egli, of Little

DAYS in Mariana this week In the
interest of her work. Miss Egli says
the government, in addition to main
tanning a bureau for finding employ
ment for men and young men. Is
now looking after the young ladies.
During the war. and prior to that
period. many thousands of girls en-
tered the trades and offices and COM
mercial lines OF work. In fact, the
army of women workers has become
so great that Uncle Sam has estab-
lished bureau to look after their
welfare. and to see that those desir-
ing help of this kind be brought to-
gether with those seeking employ
ment. To this end the employment
bureau is now working. Miss Egli
wants all young ladies who desire
employment to file their applications
with the government employment
bureau in Helena or Little Rock, and
she further requests that those de-
string the services of young ladies
also file requests with the bureau
either in Helena or Little Rock.

SOUTH MUST CURTAH
ITS COTTON ACREAGE
DEMAND WILL NOT SUSTAIN PRE-
WAR SIZE CROP-SHOULO PRO-
DUCE FOOD, SAYS DEPART
MENT OF AGRICULTURE.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Farmers or
the south are advised in statement
issued by the Department of Agricul-
ture today that 1t 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 Industrial conditions in all the
cotton consuming countries do not
reach normal-and If the industry is
not restored-the consumption OF cot
ton will be substantially less than pre-
war average requirements said the
statement. With practically COM
plete restoration, cotton consumption
may well be expected to equal the
normal of pre-war times, on account
of the present shortage OF cotton
goods in the various countries. The
economies which the people of Eu-
rope must practice for some years
to come must be considered"
Average requirements outside the
United States were given as 1900
900 bales: domestic requirements s.
500 900 bales The American 1918
crop is estimated at 100000 bales
After domestic consumption require
ments are taken care of there will be
an exportable surplus OF 100000
bales. Other producing countries
have an estimated surplus of about
3,1S0,000 bales, making total present
surplus stock for the world about
S,2S0.000 bales, against 130l0,OO0
bales requirements. The apparent
deficit therefore is 4730.000 bales,
the departments statement says de-
Quoted from the carryover at the
end of the 1888 season. Unless
there is a very marked increase in
exports. there will be a considerable
carry-over Estimates of the carry
over are placed at 3.230.0 900 bales.
With a carry-over of that amount
the apparent deficit is reduced to
1900, 900 bales.
Pointing out that the 1918 yield
was greatly decreased by unfavor-
able weather, the departments state
ment said the same acreage this year
with average weather. would produce
at least 100000 bales more than
the 1918 crop.
"In many sections of the south,
said the statement, diversified farm
ing should be practiced to larger
extent Many farms and plantations
are still devoted entirely to cotton
and fail to produce sufficient food
stuffs for the families or feed for the
live stock Such system is haz-
ardous, since success or failure Is
dependent upon a single crop, sub
iect to the influences of the weather.
insects. diseases, transportation and
markets. A careful study of the sit
uation has resulted in the recommeli-
dation that each farm, eacn com
munity and each section OF the
south should produce as far as pos
sible. it's own food and feed. for the
sake OF economic production and to
save transportation costs and inter
vening profits where the purchase
must be made from distant sections.
In other words. the food and feed OF
the south should be produced on the
farms of the south
