ROAD WORK GOING ON
AT A MERRY GATE

No time is being lost in getting to
work on the hard-surfaced road be-
ing built south of Durant through
Calera and Colbert, and about six
miles of the road IL already graded
and ready for the hard-surfaced top,
according to officials who have been
over the route.
Right of ways are being secured
quickly with less difficulty than was
expected. There are some who show
q disposition to hold back, thinking
perhaps they can hook the county
for a few extra dollars. but they do
not seem to have much luck. 1t Is
said among those actively interested
that the fellows who II will benefit
big by the laying OF the roads are
generally those who hold back the
hardest.

Southern Cotton
GrOUers Organize

Permanent organization or the
cotton growers of the South was per-
fec,ed at Memphis Monday when
four State marketing associations
iojncd IN the formation OF the Aincri-
can Cotton Growers Exchange. The
tour States affiliated with the ma
,ional organization were Mississippi,
oklahoma. Texas and Arizona. but
it is expected that every cotton pro-
ducing state will join the exchange
before the end of the year.
Carl williams OF Oklahoma City
was elected chairman OF the ex-
change, with C.. q. MOser Of Dallas
as secretary. Dallas has been Sc
lected as the temporary headquarters
OF the organization. and it was
said that the Texas city probably
will be made permanent headquar-
ters for the administrative and ex-
ecutive branches.
The exchange Is to be governed
by board of trustees elected by
the State associations on the basis
of one from each State at large and
one for each 100000 bales Of cotton
represented by such State organiza-
tion. So far as the short staple pro-
ducers are concerned, this basis
probably will be retained, while II
has been suggested that the staple
growers be given a trustee for each
100, 900 bales Of cotton pledged on
contract.

half YOUR LIVING
WITHOUT MONEY COST
Cotton Production Costs Can Be Cut
In Half BY Food And Grain
Making And Saving

Atlanta, Georgia.-(Special.)-"Hig
prices for cotton, such as we had a
year ago cannot reasonably be expect
ed for a long time to come. European
countries that normally use half our
crop are SO thoroughly disorganized
and paralyzed in a business way that
they Will not be able to take the
usual quantities and pay high prices
for many years to come" said H. g.
Hastings, President of the great
Southeastern Fair.
This situation which, We cannot
control, calls for lower costs of max.
ing cotton as well as reduction in cot
ton acreage. The quickest, safest
and most effective way TO reduce cot
ton making cost is to produce on ones
own acres every pound of food, grain
and forage needed for family, tenants
and laborers and live stock.
The situation requires chickens,
hogs, milk cows and acres of corn,
oats, wheat, forage and miscellane-
Gus crops from which to feed them.
Last, but not least, in Importance, is
the home vegetable garden which is
the quickest and cheapest source of
food In the world.
Most folks here in the South don't
take the home garden seriously and
thereby make a great mistake. There
are toom many of the lick and a prom
fse' sort of gardens and mighty few
or the real sure enough kind.
I'VE have been told repeatedly by
those who plan and prepare for a real
garden, plant it, tend it and keep 1t
replanted through the season, that 1t
furnishes half the family living at no
money cost except the small amount
spent for the seeds needed.
THE garden is, or rather should be,
the earliest planted. 1t brings food
the quickest. 1t starts cutting store
bills for food the first week anything
is ready to use. A little later, half
or needed for the table comes
out of the garden.
IF rightly tended and replanted it
supplies food all summer and fall, the
surplus above daily needs goes into
cans or is dried for winter use. Yes,
the right kind of garden is a life
saver, and we all need a l~ife-saver Of
this kind in 1921"
