Organization of Association
Goes Merrily Onward

The reason for the organization
of the American Cotton Associa-
ton could not have been more
clearly stated than was put by
Prof. John A. Todd, one of the
British delegates to the cotton con-
ference in New Orleans last Octo-
Der, in a speech to the British Tex
tile Institute at BlackpooL on his
return from New Orleans. A dis
patch published in Sundays Times
Picayune, quotes Prof. Todd as
saying that the worlds supply Of cot
ton for the next ten years is seri-
ously threatened and he saw the in
dications that the scarcity of cot
ton would increase as the world
capacity to consume it returned to
normal. He said the first step to
be taken should be to assure the
grower a reasonable price for cot
ton to cover the cost of produc-
ton and to reward him adequately
for growing improved cotton.
Prof. Todd is one Of the best
known of the British cotton experts
and economists, and this statement
from him, justifies every step that
has been taken in the organization
of the American Cotton Associa-
ton. He proves the contentious Of
the leaders of the association, and
goes even farther, in that he is inn
pressing the facts upon the British
spinners, the very class who have
been disposed to protest against
any effort of the American cotton
grower to get a fair price for his
product.
The work OF organization in the
parishes continued last week, four
parishes having been organized
This small number is due to the
fact that Field Organizer Frank A.
Crippen had to make several long
Jumps. This week Mr.. Crippen spent
his time accompanying Col. Shack
elford on the tour across the state
where speeches were scheduled from
Tallulah to Shreveport. The Tai
lulah meeting had to be called off

"Sour soil is the kind that has nc

means the same as poor soil. People
use many different things to sweeten
the ground. They use leaf mould and
manure, and good many people buy
stuff made just to feed the ground
with. 1t is called fertilizer"
"Oh, l know" cried Dolly, quite
pleased to be able to understand thi:
long word; ''the fairies have told me
about that"
"What else did they tell you about
beets?"
"Well, the fairy said the seeds
should be soaked in warm water fol-
about eight hours. He said the seeds
were really little pods with lot OF

FATHERBoB MEETS THE
FAIRIES

ssWhat fine beets these are" said
Fatherbob one night at dinner. He
was called "Fatherbob" so you could
tell him from "Justbob" or "Sonbob."
'Justbob" and "Sonbob" were two
names for the same person. Some
people called him by one and some by
the other;
sPm glad you like them," said
Mothermine, "these are almost the
last of the beets we had canned from
last years garden. You see they will
carry us on until the new crop is here
this spring. That is why am glad we
have plenty of beets in the garden
this year."
EYES," said Fatherbob, cit is good
thing to have lot of beets and tur-
nips and parsnips and such things in
the garden, because they last all the
winter through. / hope you boys have
seen to that"
Billy and Bob both spoke at once !:
Sure we have"
"Yes, sir; we've got six rows Of tur-
nips and six rows Of beets and five
rows Of cabbages. Wen have enough
for all next winter and maybe sell
some."
You see Bob and Billy had learned
all about beets through the United
States Garden Army.
''Fine; it's a mighty good thing for
you boys to have your garden; keeps
you out of mischief and you might
make some money out of it, too. Run
along now and get your lessons, and
you, Dollykin, come and tell father
what the Dewdrop Fairy told you this
morning"
Now the funny thing about it was
that Dolly had been talking with a
fairy who had told her something
about beets-the very thing they had
been eating for dinner. He was a
very handsome fellow. His complex
ion was rather dark, perhaps, but his
cheeks had a fine color. He was
dressed in rich, dark red coat and
had q wide ruffle of dark green
around his neck. She had found
him very nice to talk to. Now she
felt quite proud to tell Fatherboh
what the fairy had said. Her brothers
had some times laughed at her fol
believing in fairies, but MOthermine
and Fatherbob never did that
"Wen, Fatherbob," said Dolly, =
did see q fairy this morning, and b
was telling me about beets. He sale
that the beet is one of the very best
vegetables for young gardeners tC
raise. He said you could get greens
from them in the spring and summer
and then, as soon as the first croI
was gone your second crop would be
growing up. He said beets were
yery-oh, it was such long word
something like nursing.
