GROWERS OF COTTON
TALK OF CONDITIONS
Continued from Page One.)

Continued from rage One.)
1878 bales Of cotton" he asserted
"Still today we are without markets
except at a price of approximately
one-third the cost Of production, and
then only in a limited way. The
farmer is being smothered with his
own production. Business stagnation
and paralysis, resulting from the de-
struct;on of the purchasing power
of the farmer is counting more every
month than the total values of his
production
Declaring that financing of cotton
production was national problem
ilr continued.
When Ii sale system Of issuing
short term certificates Of indebted
ness or debentures against cotton,
properly stored, has been put in 'op-
Grafton, it will present new ma
tional field for investment by the
whole people which will be as safe
and as attractive TO the investors as
government bonds"
Mr.. Wannamaker urged expansion
of American cotton mills. [
Every pound of American cotton
woven into the finished fabric in this
country, multiplies the value of the
raw staple from four to six times" ,"
he said. "It is therefore an economic
loss to ship so large a proportion
of the American cotton crop abroad
in the raw FORM"
The speaker declared that the cot
ton area of this nation was extern
sive enough to. supply the worlds
needs, provided the price paid for
the staple justifes it's increased pro
ductlon by the growers.
'tNot only can the present cotton
area" he said, "be multiplied many
fold, but under intensive and scien-
tifc culture the yield of lint cotton
per acre can be doubled and trebled.
However, we don't have to
have exchanges to sell cotton any
: more than we have to have exchanges
to sell mules.
"Let us regulate the exchanges
further if we can. But, if not, lei
us put the axe to the tree. They
ought to have been closed last fall
Some Of the people in Washington
who have been in favor of regula.
ton, are coming around to think il
better to close them.
LET those who are feasting take
warning. We tell these bear specu.
lators to get their house in order
Congress passed a grain exchange
bill in jiffy and Southerners sup
ported it.
"The price of cotton will go. uI
again.. We will survive it. Let US
go back like crusaders and preach
to our people never to 60 back te
pre-war prices. Cotton can not be
| produced at IL or IA cents pound
under present conditions"
Senator Hefin favored amending
the federal reserve law so that the
federal reserve board would be
compelled to recognize staple cotton
as basis for credit. He urged that
President Harding be petitioned to
call upon the board to reduce the re-
discount rate to 4 IL per cent.
Senator Hefiin said he would pre-
fer law providing an agency, to
see that inferior grades Of cotton
were not sold as better grades.
Millions of bales have been sold
fctitiously, he declared, and the
prices fixed by the speculative ex-
changes to the injury Of the grower.
This law, he said, should limit the
title on a bale of cotton to only
one person at a time, as in the case
of a piece of real estate, under a
recorded deed. .

SANITARY DAIRY
The Pines Spic And
Span As Scrubbed
Kitchen

A dairy that for sanitation and
up-to-dateness would do credit to
the best serving large cities and com
ing constantly under the eyes of
stern sanitary inspectors, serves a
large part of the retail milk trade
of Americas, fact upon which its
patrons may well congratulate them
selves. This dairy is that of Gust
Anderson, known as "The Pines
Dairy" and located adjoining the
city limits short way beyond Rees
Park. A visit of citizens or health
officials at any hour of the day is
invited by Mr.. Anderson, for he al
ways keeps it in the neatest and most
sanitary condition.
Mr.. Anderson is now milking 81
cows. These are allowed to run free
in the pasture or open lot at all hours
except during the milking. For this
event, which takes place daily at z
p. m. and 4 a. M, Mr.. Anderson
has recently had constructed, on his
own design, a thoroughly modern
milking barn. Here the cows are
placed all at one time in stanchions
and kept while the milking, by ma
chine, is taking place.
This barn, which is a model, is
tightly enclosed, with solid concrete
foundation and floors. There are
two rows of stalls, twelve on each
side, accommodating all of the milk
ing cows at one time. The concrete
floors are as spic and span as those
of newly scrubbed kitchen, being
always kept flushed and drained
Two cows are MIXED at one time by
the mechanical mixer, so that the
milking process consumes only mini
mum of time. This is done personal
ly by Mr.. Anderson.
In the front of the barn is the

Ninety acres of land supply feed
and pasture to a large extent for the
herd, green rye and oats being used
as grazing at this time and assisting
in keeping the cows IN good cCnd4-
ton. The herd is composed Of Jer-
seys and Holsteins, the Jerseys Civ
ing higher per centage OF buttor

tity.
Mr.. Anderson is very proud of his
herd and his sanitary equipment
which permits him to give perfect
service.

porter, the eve" meaning himself
and Mrs. Anderson, his partner in
all things, who stood smiling proud
ly nearby, but we are willing to
compare our place with any in this
section. In fact, we would Ike the
public to come out and LOOK at the
way their milk is handled and the
cleanliness with which it is surround
ed.
Only Certified Here.
"And, say" said Mr.. Anderson by
way of a little tip, "do you see that
tag on that cows ear? Well, that
was put there by a government in
spector. This is the only herd here
that wears these tags for ours is the
only certified herd here passing the
tubercular test to become certified.
This means that en- two consecutive
tests not single cow in the herd
showed a tubercular reaction"
The success of Mr.. Anderson Is
considerable of an achievement. he
is a young man, only few years
out Of the Americas High school. H
is a native Scandinavian, coming to
America at four years of age as az
immigrant boy and growing up IN
Americas and obtaining an education
largely by his own efforts. Married
to charming Georgia girl, with d
13-months old husky son as an an
Choir, he is happily on his way to in
dependence.

dangered; and no one is RESPONSE
BILE for such destruction of life and
health but the county authorities.
We question, as matter of fact,
whether bond issue for some $685.
600 or $4,000 would be popular;
people are not very much inclined
towards spending money for pris-
oners. But the County Court is res
ponsible for the welfare of the pris-
oners, regardless Of what public
opinion may be; and one Of the
Courts duties is to take care Of the
prisoners properly. Commissions
that have inspected the Jail have
long recommended remedies or a
new Jail, but none has come. Pris-
oners have in times past found it
not difficult to break out Of Jail be-
cause of the insecurity Of the build
ing; but the building still stands.
Health, security, foresight and an
appreciation of the rights Of pris-
oners all counsel immediate action.
