!. CLUB SESSION
Interesting Meeting Held
Last Night at Ell,
dora.

Lowering skies with the addi-
ton Of aprognosis Of thunder
showers made by the weather bu-
reau yesterday, were completely
disregarded BY the members Of the
Eldora Farmers club, who assem-.
bled in force at the Eldora church
last night to attend a meeting ad.
dressed by County Agricultural
Agent William E. McComas, and
Miss Eva Blair. The club is one
Of the most flourishing among the
many organized by Mr.. McComas
throughout the county, and great
interest in the problems discussed
at their meetings is already shown.
The club meets on the second We'd
nesday Of every month.
An interesting program was pre-
scented, consisting Of musical Sc.
lections, by Messrs. McComas and
Boone, the singing Of America by
the assembly, some remarks by E.
D. Currey on the success Of cooper
ative buying by members Of the
club, a talk on some Of the things
accomplished by the Marion Coun'
ty Farm Bureau, and an address
by Miss Eva Blair on the subject
OF drying fruit, preserving eggs,
and other means Of combating the
high cost Of living.
During the war, Miss Blair said,
there was a lot Of discussion about
canning and preserving. Since
then very little Is said on the sub
ject, but the necessity Is Just as
great now as during the war. Food
costs more than ever, and Is not
so plentiful, the cost Of cans, labor,
carriage, and everything else enter
ing into the business Of canning
has risen, and It behooves every
one to look out for the inevitable
rise In prices that comes with the
winter season.
It's not necessary 10 make jelly
now, said Miss Blair. The better
way Is to preserve the fruit juices
now and make the jelles later
when there Is a likelihood. Of sugar
coming down in price. With re.
gard to vegetables, there are none
that can't be canned but the cold.
packed method Of preserving veg
etables Is the best. Miss Blair gave
a minute description Of the cold.
pack method, and a number OF
women present took advantage Of
the opportunity to ask questions on
details which they, did not fully un.
derstand.
The method Of preserving eggs
BY the use OF water glass was also
explained and a few Minutes were
given to the best means OF drying
fruits and vegetables
During the discussion Of these
matters culinary, the Apostle
Paul's Injunction regarding women
was completely disegarded, the
men maintaining a discreet 81.

STORING IN SEED
 IMPROVES QUALITY

In holding cotton for higher price, the farmer will gain by holding it in the seed rather than in the bale, ad- vises E. A. Hodson, agent in cotton ro rketing demonstrations with the agricultural extension division, Uni versity of Arkansas.
 If seed cotton is stored before gin ing the fibre is actually improved in quality" says Mr. Hodson. "Oil from the seed is absorbed by the flores and gives the bolton better body. At the same time weight is added to the fibre as is shown by the gin turnout.
 Seed from cotton that has been stored before ginning dries out so that 1t Is not likely to heat and deteriorate in storage. Seed that is allowed to dry out well before ginning is much better for planting.
 "A further advantage of storing be- fore ginning is that the cotton stored in the seed will be stored under cov- CT. The ginned bale is frequently left putin the weather. If the farmer has no warehouse facilities and his cotton is not for immediate sale it is best to hold 1t in the seed
