Continued Demand for

Continued strong demands for GER
calls and live stock products are in
d1cated by all the information in it's
hands, says the United States de-
partment of agriculture in reply to
Geographic inquiry from G. 1.
Christie, director of the Indiana
State Food committee.
THE state food committee has
considered problems and feels that
farmers should plan to SOW a nor
mai acreage of wheat and rye" said
1.-The Indiana inquiry. Committee de-
sires a statement from you on de-
Slrable plan of procedure and what
lines farmers should follow"
The department of agriculture re-
piled that while the exact world food
conditions for 1920 cannot be fore
cast with accuracy at this time, ii
is considered sound policy to MAIN
tain normal acreages of fall wheat
and rye on middle west lands adapt
ed to these crops, and that the need
is for Well-balanced, sane, and
efficient production of staples, the
demand for which is reasonably GER
tain, judging from existing domes-
tic and foreign conditions.
1t is important" says the de-
partment of agriculture ito restore
meadows and pastures broken up
during. the war emergency, and to
re-establish crop rotations to pre-
vent depletion, of soil fertility. and
Oxford sound basis for maintaining
well-balanced live stock produc-
ton. The department suggests to
farmers the advisa bility of main
tanning their production of cereals
forage crops and live stock on the
basis of their accumulated expe-
rience with these, avoiding specu-
duction, which involves undue eli
matte and price hazards"

Aid for Cotton Industry to Result
From Amended u. S. Warehouse Act

scription of the cotton stored re-
quested to be stated on the face of
the receipt will enable the owner
to know the value of his cotton and
enable him to market it intelli-
gently. The proper development of
the warehouse will make possible
the practice of marketing the cot
ton crop through the warehouse. and
thus avoid the enormous losses re,
sulting from weather damage.
Warehousemen desiring to take
advantage of the opportunity ex
tended should apply to the bureau
OF markets at Washington, D. c.,
for the application forms. Upon
receipt of the blanks they should be
filled out and sent to the bureau
of markets at Washington along
with the nominal inspection fee re-
CURED. This fee is based on the
capacity of the warehouse at the
rate of 81 for each 1000 bales of
It's capacity; thus, a 5,000-bale ware
house will pay an inspection fee of
IS; 6,000-bale warehouse, Sc, etc
If the warehouse has a capacity
of less than 5000 bales, the fee
VIII be So. The maximum inspec-
ton fee is $50. Thus a warehouse
having capacity of more than So
600 bales will be required to remit
fee of only $50. This inspection
fee, a license fee of So and the cost
of his bond is the total expense OF
the warehouseman. If for any rea-
son the license is not issued or the
inspection is not made, any as
sessed fees will be returned to the
applicant

To put the business of cotton
warehousing on a stable basis and
provide receipts for cotton that are
negotiable at any bank has long
been an aim Of persons interested
in cotton, and under the amended
United States Cotton Warehouse act
this is likely to be realized. That
is the opinion of men in the Bureau
of Markets, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, who are charg
ed with issuing federal warehouse
licenses.
The warehouse act has just been
amended so as to permit the accep-
hcusemen and to permit the issu.
requested by the depositors OF cot
ing the grade of the cotton. The
less he request to omit it is made.
The purpose of the warehouse act
is to create a warehouse receipt of
unQuestioned value, and one which
will be acceptable to all bankers as
security for obtaining loans, regard
less of the location of the ware
house. In this way Warehousemen
will furnish receipt to their GUS
toners which will be of the utmost
value to them as negotiable paper,
and enable them to borrow close
to the actual value of their stored
goods at cheaper interest rates Thus
they may market their cotton slow
ly and in conformity with the needs
of the manufacturers. The full de-

Cotton Now Can Go
To Germany; Potash
Can Come to u. S.

Numerous inquiries have come
within the past few days to Senator
Hoke Smith asking whether cotton
could be shipped to Germany ana
central Europe.
Senator Smith stated Saturday that
he was assured by the war trades
board no restriction of any kind is
now placed upon the shipment OF
cotton to Germany or middle Europe,
and anyone desiring to ship it could
do so without interference, as
general order had been issued au-
thorizing such shipments.
In the same connection, senator
Smith was assured that no restric-
ton of any kind prevented the ship
ment of potash to the United States
Senator Smith said:
Cotton can go freely to Germany
Potash can come freely from Ger
many. L regard these two PROPOSE
tions as of utmost Importance to my
constituents and am assured by those
in authority that this statement is
true. that cotton and poash are NOV
ing freely aagin with no legal inter
ference and under pre-war condi-
tons"
Senator Smith has given the clos
est attention to these two subjects
and is in touch all tie time with
the government authorities acting
upon them.

New Touches for
The Russian Blouse

Observed from a viewpoint of
smartness and becomingness, the
Russian blouse ought to be peren-

sian blouse does experience more
revivals than any other type of
garment. And so the ever-present
demand for something new to do to
give it individuality.
This model treats itself to an en-
tirely individual sleeve note, and
after that to a most effective use
of straw embroidery. Meaning. of

Umbrella Member Now
Travels bV Automobile

How times do change! Formerly
the lowly umbrella member, ill-kempt
in appearance usually, was accus-
toned, according to reports, to make
his way from place to place on foot,
camping on the edge of town to save
living expenses. He was classed
among the tramp family.
Eight or ten years ago a small,
well-dressed umbrella fixer spent a
few days in Cuthbert. Ga, and at
tracted some attention. He used
handbills to advertise his business
and was an intelligent wide-awake
fellow who claimed to be making a
good living and something besides
for himself and his family.
This week the motor umbrella
member was in Cuthbert again He
travels now in a closed car, in which
he sleeps, and provides his own ra-
tons. He says he figures that it is
cheaper to go over the country as he
does than to pay railroad fare and

Trapping Fur-Bearing Animals Opens Up;
Great Industrial Opportunities for Boys

Indeed these. two form the great
bulk of the volume of trade in the
commoner furs. And an idea of the
high prices that they command may

Fur Exchange in st. Louis during
the month of April 251,0O0 skunk
skins brought the amazing sum of
100000. The price at which these
skins were purchased from profess
was somewhat less than that by a
few thousands but it is safe to say
that at least $4,000 of the $685.
600 went into the country districts
and a large percentage of it into the
pockets of boys between IA and 21.
At these International fur sales
which occur three times a year it
is nothing unusual to see as many
rat, 100000 mink, 100000 skunk all
most of them sent in by country
boys. And what prices furs are
bringing!
At the last auction in April the
astounding sum of $11,000,000 was
paid by American and foreign buyers
for furs of all kinds. The January
sale brought in nearly as much.
These sales give some slight con-
ception of the enormous number of
pelts that country boys g2ther and
market every day or two during the
trapping season. From November
until March boys, young men, ma
ture men and even women engage
in the lucrative pastime of trapping
wild animals. They send thousands
and thousands of skins into the st.
Louis market every week to meet
the tri-weekly sales.
This year fur dealers look for an
other big fur catch, as fur prices.
owing to the extreme popularity of
fur of all kinds for both summer
and winter styles, and the ability
of people to pay for furs of high
grade, promise to remain high.
That of course means broader OPP
portunity for the American boy in
the industry that is essentially his
= broader opportunity and better
prices.

the persons who keep it going are
men well into middle age or at least

dustry that grows every year by

American fur industry more than
any other business in the world de-
ponds on American boyhood for it's
growth and success.
It is the country boys who have
helped to swing the center of this
great industry from old world cities
to st. Louis. 1t is their efforts that
have enabled the st. Louis dealers
to put on the markets record break
ing numbers Of skins. 1t is their
activity in the trapping of fur bear
ing animals that has brought into
country districts millions of extra
dollars every year. And it is their
ready cooperation in the protection
of those animals during the closed
seasons and the breeding seasons
that is making it possible for the
United States to continue as the
greatest fur marketing country in
the world.
Inc 'ceIlCerlnS OF the Iuf industry
in the United States has benefited
both the nation and the country boy
himself. For the former it has
brought buyers from the old world
to our shores to spend millions of
dollars for skins that are shipped

latter it has provided a steady
source of income-actually big

CHAPTER xxx

At midnight the two young men
had not yet parted. For as sen
goun explained, the hour for part
ing was already past, and it was
too late to consider it now. And Nee
land thought so, too, what with the
laughter and the music, and the sol :
night breezes to counsely folly, and
the clty's haunting brilliancy Stretch-
ing away in bewitching perspectlVes

Paris lay in all her mystery and
beauty under the July stars.
Sengoun, his arm through Nee
lands, had become affectionately
confidential. He explained that he
really was a nocturnal creature; that
now he had completely walked up;
that his habits were due to pas
sion for astronomy, and that the
stars he had discovered at odd hours
of the early morning were more
amazing than any celestial bodies
ever before identified.
But Neeland, whose head and heart
were already occupied. declined to
study any consultations; and they
drifted through the blush lustre OF
white arc-lights and the clustered
yellow glare of lncandescent lamps
toward a splash Of iridescent glory
among the chestnut trees, where mu-
sic sounded and tables stood amid
flowers and grass and little slender
fountains which balanced silver
globes upon their jets.
The walters were in Russian peas
ant dress; the orchestra was Rus
sian gypsy; the bill of fare was Rus
sian; and there was only champagne
to be had.

were singing some evidently familiar
song-one of those rushing, clatter-

and Sengoun sang too, with all his
might, when he and Neeland were
