More Livestock Needed

In addition to the heavy corn crop
plus the alfalfa yield, Grady has
10000 acres of kafir together with
several thousand acres of other fee
crops insuring an aggregate yield
that staggers calculation. On to-
of all this, the straw from one o.
the biggest wheat crops in the his.
tory of the county is stacked ant
ready to addits thousands of tons
to the roughage and feedstuff tota.
Still there is a shortage here. 1t
is a shortage of livestock to consume
the wonderful feed crop and farmers
as well as stockmen are casting
about for more stock to bring to the
relief of the barns and bins that ar
slated to do a lot of groaning under
their super loads of feedstuffs. Def
mite figures on the livestock in the
county are not available at this time.
but the number is far too small to
take care of the Grady crops that
will of necessity have to remain
within the borders of the county.
Cotton Also Good
Because of the high price of cot
ton last year and the wonderful sue
cess of the growers of Acala cotton
here. the acreage of that staple
jumped this year from 10000 acre
to 10000 and bar accidents for tht
remainder of the season a new yield
record is slated to be hung up.
There has been very little wea
danaging to cotton thus far thi.
season, growers state. The only da..
ger at this time is too much raj
and if the weather man lays off tn,
sprinkling can with the rain at H.
present stage. everything will be
peaches and cream for the grower,

Poles Push Advantage
BY United Press


London, Aug 19.-The Poles are
reported to be desperately pushing
their newly won advantages over the
Russians.
Balanced against the continued
Polish successes along nearly the Ell
tire 500 mile front, however, is the
apparently well established fact that
two Polish generals have employel
practically all their reserves while
the Russian reserves are virtually
untouched,
Illustrative of the plight of the
Poles regarding man power was the
statement contained in the official
communique from Warsaw that
women troops were engaged in the
fighting Another factor in the race
against time was the moral advan
tage to be won in the armistice ne
gotta Hons at Minsk through holding
the whip hand in the military situa
ton. The Poles hope to retain thcr
present advantages.
