members, bankers and business men,
will live up to its ideal reputation for
elaborate entertainment. The pro-
gramme is varied and not one item
that might add to tn perfection of the
entertainment scheme has been over
looked.
Leaders very branch of the cot
ton industry will take part in the Con-
ference programme. Nine Goven-
ors of as many of the cotton grow
ing States will preside over the nine
business sessions. Theses sessions
will cover the following subjects
which concern directly the farmer
and these generally in the cotton in
the cotton industry:
"The Growing and Handling of
Cotton" Future Requirements and
New Sources of Production" 1.-THE
Storage and Insurance of Cotton" !"
"The Buying and Selling Of Cotton" /"
and "World Problems of the Textile
Industry"
Every phase of these subjects will
be gone thoroughly by men most fit
ted to handle the problem. The dis
cussions, in the opinion Of John M.
Parker, planter, broker and cotton
expert Of New Orleans, will result in
inestimable good to every branch and
line Of the cotton industry"
"The purposes of that gathering
are to tell the story of cotton, start
ing in from the time when the farmer
begin to break up the land, to the
planting, cultivation, harvesting, GIN
ming, baling, marketing, transporta-
ton, manufacturing and right up to
the period of the sales of cotton goods
to the consumer" said Mr.. Parker in
an interview with your representa-
tive 'The real intent and purpose of
the Conference is not to boost any
particular branch of the cotton indus
try, but to be of material assistant
and benefit to all, and by thorough
understanding of the difficulties
which beset each of the varied steps
of cotton production and manufacture
to bring about better feeling and that
necessary team work to pull together
in lines that will be equally just and
satisfactory to all.
'"The prosperity of the cotton pro-
ducer is essential to the health and
continuation of cotton production,
and instead Of having bitterness and
friction, every line of business in the
cotton industry should strive to see
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1919-09-12

that ach other line derives a fair
share of the profits. A period Of
over production followed by period
of production much less than the
worlds needs is always demoralizing
and upsets trade and trade conditions.
In the long analysis, the cotton farm
er is the most important of all the al
lied cotton interests because if he
does not produce the cotton millions
of dollars invested in mills, machin-
cry, equipment and organization
would be of no value. The farmer
has less opportunity to be posted as
to actual value of his product as
compared with the manufactured
goods. and, as rule, the agricultur-
ist pays relativelyhi CHER prices for
supplies than any othr class Of ,iti-
ZenS.
''The production of cotton is at best
most hazardous business" declared
Mr.. Parker who, by his many years
connection with the cotton industry
fits him to intelligently handle this
subject, and the result depends very
largely upon favorable planting
season, growing season and harvest
ing season, and with the great unrest
today with labor in every line thru
out the world, the time has come when
for self-preservation, the producer,
manufacturer and distributor should
get together, patiently and fairly
each other, and then, possibly, as the
United Cotton Industry, seek to bring
to pass complete understanding by
which each varied branch of these
industries receives a fair return for
their toll, labor and capital invested.
1.-The opportunities for untold good
are great, provided they are properly
handled" Mr.. Parker said in conclus-
ion.

HAD BEST WATCH ONE n. r.
HAMILTON.

We would advise the newspaper
fraternity of Mississippi that should
one H. r. Hamilton apply for work,
they had best watch him. He is a
pretty good machine operator and
knows the printing business we'll, but
unless his actions belle what is in the
man, he is as mean as the devil would
have a man to be-. He left US without
given even "free niger" notice and
parts of our machine are missing that
were here when he was here, hence if
these parts did not 60 off with Ham,
ilton. they are ON \ strike. Hamilton
just won't do and will bear the close.t
watching. His actions here show that
he is ready and will;ng to do aln'ost
anything that will clog the wheels Of
business and that will aid the I. w.
w. spirits The devil could hardly
send better representative to any
office.

TEST YOUR SEED CORN NOW

TEST YOUR SEED CORN NOW
Seed corn seems to be plentiful IN
Fulton County, but that does not jus.
tify US in concluding that every
kernel Of every ear saved for seed will
grow. 1t also does not justify US il.
using our whole cornfeld las a ger
mination box to find out whether the
corn will grow or not.
Right now, is a good time to take
about two kernels from each of fifty
ears taken from different parts of our
pile of seed corn. Test them and find
out what percentage grows. If 95
per cent or more grow strongly, it
will probably not be necessary to make
an individual ear test. If the per-
centage Of termination is much be-
low 95. however, the Individual ear
test will pay we'll
Seed corn taken from the crib
should be given the individual ear
test without fail
In trial extending over a period
of four years at the Ohio Experiment
Station, individual ear tested corr
showed gain of 39 bushels per acre
over corn not tested. At so cents
per bushel the return for testing was
$3.50 per hour.

A PLEASANT EVENING

The Wauseon Woman's Club held
their annual Guest Day meeting at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. L. S.
Darby last Tuesday evening. Hus-
bands of the married members and
lady friends were the guests. A
delicious pot luck supper was served
and following the supper Sergeant
Paul Scott who recently returned
from overseas entertained the COM
pany by telling of the customs and
manner Of living of the French peo-
pie among whom his company were
billeted while in France.
The recital was intensely interest
ing, club members and their guests
sat for over an hour listening and
asking questions.
Paul was held with his company
of the 83rd division in the vicinity Of
LeMans and from his point of view
he was "out of luck" that he didn t
get up to the front; but he certainly
had his eyes and ears open and OBJ
served many things of interest to the
folks back home.

ArRGnLIG, SAA' <-~s ASAS
Dear Friends:
Mr.. and Mrs Carl Barnes
Having a little time this afternoon
| thought would sit down and write
you few lines to let you know that
l have not forgotten you, THINK OF
you folks often when l write
The weather is quite cold mere the
last couple of days to what 1t mas been
in the past, the first time the ground
has froze since we're here.
l am agoing to tell you OF few OF
the different places where have been
since l came across. in the place they
dumped US off at Brest and from
there we went to Lateste port near
Spain, stayed there nearly month
from there we went to Verdun where
l did my bit in this war.
We had nice reception as soon as
the train stopped, the boys were not
all off the train when a shrapnel burst
over our heads and a piece lit about
fifteen feet from me, right between
two hoys about eighteen inches apart
from that time until the armistice
was signed we heard shell whistling
and bursting in the air day and night.
SSAAA$SAAAASS w NAOoG 1OI OO4AAO4S'
From the time we landed in Verdun
till now l haven't seen one of the boys
that came across with me, was put
in the Supply Co. to get provisions
and also ammunition to the boys at
the front.
One morning while on our way "a
the front we got caught n a German
barrage, shells landing on all sides
of US but we motored right along, the
nearest one dropped about 80 feet
from US, that is the nearest any She.
ever dropped to me.
Aeroplanes in the air looked like
flock of black birds, they always
flew in battle formation, just like
wild geese have seen as high as
one hundred in the air at one time.
I can tell you more about those
things when I get home again.
I started this letter he other da.
and came very near forgetting tt
finish it.
From Verdun we went to Laval anc
from there to Argentine where we ar
at the present time.
Xmas afternoon twenty-six Of III
boys left for St. Nazarie to driv'
some trucks through to Argentine,
drove a Nash Quad for while nov
am driving a Liberty. John and

Montours for bread and beef we wer

health and happiness prevails in you
home.
This letter is for the whole famil
to read it will save me writing 8
many letters. Tell Magdalena
