Since a few hours of sunshine would dry the fiber quite we'll it would seem advisable to choose the dry method of harvesting. It is true that a few hours of sunshine and wind will not be sufficient to endeavor to pick it dry. If the dry the seed properly, but in case the weather continues to be unset tied, it would seem the best policy to save the more valuable fiber as rapidly as possible, even if some thing had to be sacrificed in the way of wet and damaged seed.
 In view of the unsettled weather conditions, it becomes the problem of each individual farmer to chose between these losses. It is my suggestion to take chance on the weather to the extent of allow ing the staple to dry in the fields and then pick with all possible speed to get as much cotton as pos sible out before the next rain.
 "Too much emphasis can not be brought to bear upon the impor- tance of not mixing good cotton picek before the rainy weather with cotton which has been wet in the fields. A striking example of the actual loss which results from do- ing this has been brought to my at tention by County Agent E. B. Whitaker of Lee county. A negro farmer near Marianna had 1900 pounds of cotton picked before the rainy weather. He did not think that this would make as big bale as. he wanted, so he borrowed 300 still another bale picked from the same field before the rain which did not have any vet cotton mixed with it sold the same day for AZ cents. This farmer lost 10 cents a pound on his 1900 pounds of good cotton.

 Iisabled soldiers and sailors who wish to take advantage of Vocatlon' al education offered to them by the fede ral board of vocational educa- tion should communicate at once with their county farm demonstra- tion agent or with W. C. Lasseter, director of agricultural extension, Little Rock.
 A rangement have been made by Dr. Walter J. Quick, training officer in charge of agricultural edscation with the federal board ot woes .ional education for disabled sold CTS whereby the agricultural exten nsion division is to assist every disabled soldier and sailor for whom vocational education has been approved to secure the kind of tram in that he desires in the school that he prefers. :. ,,.
 Those men who have disability, but who have not been approyec for vocational training may take the matter up through the same chan nels and secure such approvai II ne can establish that he was disabled to the extent of 10 per cent Tor pursuing the vocation that he was following at the time he entered the military service.
 The government allowance to soldier or sailor while he IS pur- su;no an educational course is SS0 q month if he has no dependents If ha has dependents, the allowance is Sl00 month, plus the regular allow ances to dependents which were given during the war. Depend ents in some instances bring the al lowsnces up to S150 a month.
 The soldier or sailor IS no longer compelled to take vocational tram ing along lines in which he had pre- yious training or experience, as was originally provided in the act. A recent change allows him to choose any work that he wants and consid- erable more leniency is allowed with reference to choice of the educa- tionsi institution.
 Only 26 per cent of the disabled soldiers of the fourteenth vocational educational district, which IS com posed of the states of Arkansas Oklahoma and Texas, are taking ad- vantage of the educational course which have been approved for them The low percentage for this district is attributed to general lack o1 appreciation and understanding O what the government is prepared t0 dc for them.
 Dr. Quick has made arrangement with the University of Arkansa. as the result of a conference wltf President Futrall, whereby 300 dis abled soldiers will be entered I courses in that institution. More than $6,000 will be expended bl the vocational board in providino additional equipment for shops ito be used in practical instruction in the mechanic arts. Courses in dai rying, poultry, orcharding bee keep ing and farm machinery are SC popular with the disabled soldiers that President Futrall is planning to aid q number of these course to the university curriculum.

ODLEAGUE
STARTSSTORE
IN TREASURY
General Merchandise to Be.
Handled on. Cooperative
Basis in Basement Of Dept.

The establishment today OF a CO.
operation buying and selling store In
the Treasury Department practically
assures the success OF the Citizens
Cooperative Buying and Distribut-
ing League organized last week.
The first announcement OF the for
nation of the Treasury Department
stare was issued today by Paul c.
Myers, Grief clerk Of the department,
after the plan had been agreed to by
Secretary Glass.
According to present arrangements
the store will be located in the sub
basement Of the Treasury building. oc-
cupying some 5000 square feet Of
space. A branch sotre probably will
be established in the Bureau Of En-
craving and Printing to serve the
employees Of that division. Mr.. Nc
Grath has been granted permanent
leave from his position in the Treasur-
er's office to assume the duties OF gen
eral manager for the Treasury store.
League To Do Purchasing.
There will be no conflict, it was
explained. between the league and the
departmental units. The Government
grounds will use the league as a
central purchasing organization,
while the departmental and commun-
ity stores will serve as distributing
points, eliminating the necessity, in
this way, Of the league establishing
stores.
Mr.. McGrath will still retain his
position as general manager Of the
league.
Although the store will specialize in
foodstuffs, it is intended also to sell
general merchandise. 1t is expected to
win the patronage of a majority OF the
$4,000 employees OF the department.
The initial membership fee will be
IS, which will be returned upon the
OF membership. Tickets
will be issued in denominations OF 81,
50, IS, and $40, to be presented at the
time Of purchase. No money will be
handled by the store manager.
The actual work OF buying and
selling food will begin in a week or
ten days, Mr.. Myers said today. The
butter clubs in the Treasury Depart
ment, which purchase many tons of
butter a week. will be taken over by
the cooperative store. A similar
movement in the War Department is
well under way, and the Navy De-
partment is also going ahead along
these lines.

Co. TO KEEP
RATESUP FOR TIME

The Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company Is not contemplating
any reduction in telephone rates at
this time, according to Charles p
Claggett, division manager Of the
company.
In commenting on the reduction OF
per cent in telephone rates in New
York city, Mr.. Claggett said: I'VE
shall be more than satisfied II we
break even this year. Las6,ye we
had a deficit Of f1.l0O. 900. and I don't
think there is the slightest likelihood
that we shall reduce the rates for the
present
Conditions in New York are quite
different than they are here. With
the increased cost OF materials and
higher wages In Washington, we have
had difficulty IN breaking even Our
monthly reports, however, show that
we are reducing the deheit Of last

BUILDING FOR VIEW

Eclipse, Says Note to
Congressman.

The Commission OF Fine Arts today
moved to protect Meridian Hill Park
by having Congressman Mapes intro
duee IN the House a bill to prohibit
erection OF buildings, higher than
seventy-hvs feet in that vicinity. The
bill will be introduced IN the Senate
by Senator Phelan.
In letter to Mr.. Mapes, the Com
mission Of Fine Arts pointed out that
an apartment house, which will have
an elevation Of zoe feet, is being built
at the corner Of Sixteenth and w
streets.
This would be eleven feet higher
than the highest point in the park,
thereby cutting OF the view OF city
points Of interest.
Congress paid $3.50 900 for the park,
and has put sos, 900 improvements on
IL. Contemplated improvements total
another 100000.
Under the present law. the District
authorities are not empowered to fix
the height of buildings. The coming
commission law, now pending in Con-
gress, would give such authority.
