 Also Affecting
 Big Publications

The paper shortage is effecting the big publications, as well as the small city newspapers, as shown by reduc- tions in sizes of editions-both as to number of pages printed and copies issued-an explanation of inability to handle all advertising offered, or to print any more copies than actually required to supply paid subscribers.
 One of the biggest publications con- serving paper is the Saturday Evening Post, which cut it's edition from g. 500,000 to 2,000,000 copies, and an- nounces that Gin a further effort to conserve paper" the Post has "de- clined to accept large volume of ad- ditional business"
 "Until the supply of paper increas- es," the S. E. P. explains, i've do not feel justified in printing such large numbers as the advertising that is offered warrants, or such large edi- tions as our readers are calling for. >. We feel sure that our readers will indorse our action in saving paper un~ til the situation approaches normal even though it may cause them tempo rary inconvenience"

Grader.

thirty a. M, Saturday, September

The Importance of a county fair

T. M. Patterson of the Mississippi
A. & M. College addressed the meet
ing on the subject of the marketing
of farm products. The selling Of
the cotton crop came in for special
notice. The Government Bonded
Warehouse and it's Importance in this
respect was briefly discussed. The
speaker stressed the worth and feas-
ibility of employing cotton market
expert. The high price which long
staple cotton brings when properly
sold will be secured to those who sell
cotton which can properly be classed
as long staple. Several examples of
this practice were shown to exist in
some of the northern counties of
Mississippi. 1t was shown that each
county should be organized into a
Cotton Growers Association, that a
Government Bonded Warehouse
should be established and a cotton
, grader and marketer should be en-
ployed. The Importance of growing
improved varieties of cotton was
given proper treatment. Long sta
pie varieties were advocated.
The expression in favor of estab-
fishing a Government Bonded Ware
house in Lincoln county was almost
unanimous. A committee to further
this plan was appointed as follows:-
David Cohn c. S. Butterfeld, r.
e. Furr, S. j. Holloway, S. B. Nc

ners of this county be requested to
