More Cotton Warehouses to be Locat-
ed

Raleigh, Dec. 22.-Two million dol
lars, representing a second advance OF
S25 a bale, were sent out IN checks
to members of the North Carolina
Cotton Growers Cooperative Asso-
citation this week, it is announced
from the headquarters.
The third million dollars will hardly
reach It's destination before next week
as it will require approximately TINS
amount of money to take care OF par
ties interested IL. mortgaged cotton
,eld on Joint account, and on assign
ments against the interests OF grow
ers in cotton.
Three weeks of cloudy weather that
Nade it impossible to class cotton Of
members has seriously handicapped
the Tar Heel cooperatives. Between
orty and fifty thousand bales re-
main to be classed Warehouse receipts
are not negotiable until the weight,
Grade and staple are inserted and
therefore. cannot be used as collat-
fal until they are fully completed.
Secretary Ashley Bing performed
almost the impossible in the last few
days, He formed a Banking syndi-
cate of Bait more, Richmond and New
York bankers that has agreed to loan
the Association three million dollars
for the second advance.
Notwithstanding the inclement
weather cf he last several weeks
General Manager Blalock reports thar
deliveries will be very light after the

The sales department, under the
supervision Of Lawrence McRae, re-
ports that quite a number of mills
are in the market and that some very
satisfactory sales are being made.

EThe overflow has been diverted to

alist government, and to the
strong determination of the
people Of the allied nations not
to embark in another war, it is
practically certain that Turkey
will regain the territory in Eu-

World war and probably a con-
siderable part Of Mesopotamia,
now under British mandate. Do
you and your friends think the

Or do you believe 1t Is worth

GONCILIATION and concession were
~ the order Of the day in the Near
East. The allies! in formally inviting
the Turks to a peace conference, as
sured them that they twill take adj
vantage Of this opportunity to de-
clare that they look with favor upon
the desire of Turkey to recover Thrace
up to the Martha river, and Adrian
ople." 1t was even intimated that
Russia would be admitted to the con-
ference, and M. Franklin Bouillon,
who last year negotiated an agree
ment between the Nationalist and
the French, was sent to Smyrna with
a mandate to deal with Renal. The
stipulation of the allies was that the
Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmora and
the Bosporus must remain free and
open to all nations. The British also
insisted that the neutral zone. which
embraces the straits and CONSTANT
nople, must not be invaded by the
Nationalist during the peace negotia-
lions.
Early in the week Renal gave a
long interview to a correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune, in which he said
that he had no desire to provoke hos
tilities with Great Britain, but that
he insisted on complete independence
Of the Turkish empire and complete
freedom of the straits to all nations.
He said Turkey had no wish to for
tify the Dardanelles but that she
must control the Sea of Marmora and
the Bosporus to secure the safety Of
her capital onstantinople. On We'd
nesday the Kemalists announced they
would respect the neutrality Of the
straits pending an armistice confer
ence with the British generals. They
then formulated their reply to the
allied peace proposals. Not given to
the public at this writing, this answer
is understood to provide, among other
things, that the Nationalist shall oc-
cupy all strategic positions prior to
the opening of the conference; that
all British forces en- route be recalled
and the British shall not fortify the
neutral zone: that the Nationalist
shall occupy Thrace before the confer
ence. at which Russia, Ukrainia and
all countries bordering on the Black
sea shall be represented; that If these
conditions are accepted. the Nation
alists agree to an armistice confer
ence at Mudania, which is to be fol-
lowed in three days by the opening
Of the peace conference In Smyrna.
Meanwhile Renal, who has freely
expressed his dlstrust of the British
and especially Of Lloyd George sent
various units into the Asiatic part of
the neutral zone and occupied strate-
gle positions from which he virtually
controlled the Dardanelles. The Brit

To Drive Garlic, From state.

A campaign to arouse the interest
of farmers throughout Maryland in the
eradication of garlic is being under
taken this fall by the University of
Maryland extension service, according
to DR.. Thomas B. Symons, director,
who points to the economic waste
now resulting from the prevalence of
this weed.
st has long been recognized" says
DR.. Symons, that wheat growers have
been sustaining annual losses as the
result of discrimination in price
againt garlicky wheat. From 5 to 10
cents per bushel has been the usual
discount on wheat containing garlic,
although Immediately following the
war this discount ran as high as 20
cents. Garlic in pasture lands had
also been source of annoyance and
loss to dairymen of the State.
Garlic eradication is not new
project. The extension service and
the county agents have been advocat-
ing the elimination of garlic from farm
fall, however, an effort will be made
to get concerted action against garlic.
Information as to the methods by
which garlic is spread and how it
may be eradicated will be sent broad
cast throughout the State in an effort
to organize a campaign against it.
Special exhibits, dealing with methods
of garlic eradication, will be made at
all the county fairs.
/ st would seem that the best method
of obtaining results would be to inter-
est all farmers in community in the
work. This would not only have the
advantage of preventing the possible
spread of garlic from one farm to
another but would give the farmers of
community better price for garlic
free wheat.
Methods of eradication are simple,
but entail some additional work and
a slight change in crop rotations. The
first step is late fall blowing of gar
lic-infested land. Usually this may be
done in November, when the garlic
plant has attained height of about
a foot. The land is permitted to be
bare over winter and the following
spring is planted in corn. The next
fall late blowing is again recommend
ed and the land planted the following
spring to soybeans, cowpeas, potatoes
or any other spring crop. Wheat may
then be sown in the fall, together
with the customary grass and clover.
The use of seed wheat absolutely free
of garlic must be emphasized"

START memorial ArmiStlce Day.
Baltimore
Armistice Day will be set as the
date for laying the cornerstone Of
the War Memorial Building in the
Civic Centre, if plans being made by
Mayor Broening mature satisfactorily,
the Mayor announced. The exercises
would take place at IL A. M, the
hour when hostilities ceased.
Arrangements for the ceremony will
be made by the joint committee rep
resenting the city and State in pre-
liminaries to erection of the building
and special committee to be named
by the Mayor and Governor Richie.
The Mayor sent the Governor the
following letter bearing upon the pro-
posal:
"The Joint Memorial Commission
plans and specifications ready to Sc
cure bids. and have the Memorial
Building under contract so that the
cornerstone may be laid on Armistice
Day. The plan would be to have a
committee representing the State and
municipality arrange for suitable cere-
monies.
Il would be most happy to have
you join with me in the selection of
a committee SO that there may be rep
resentatives from every county in the
State as well as from the city.
1T occurs to me that the proper
hour for the ceremonies would be at
II o'clock in the morning, after which
my purpose would be to entertain the
out-of-town delegates at luncheon, at
which of course shall be most happy
to have you as my guest"
That the plan can be carried out
appears assured, since Laurence Hall
Fowler, architect of the structure has
brought the plans to a state where
it can be said definitely that the con
tract can be let within short time.
Considerable foundation preparation
would be necessary before laying of
the cornerstone, but it is believed this
can be carried out in time for the
ceremony on Armistice Day.
In the event that the cornerstone
can be laid November IL, the prob
abilities are that particularly impress
sive ceremonies will be arranged to
mark the double observance. Each
year since the armistice the city has
officially recognized the anniversary,
last year parade and ceremonies on
the memorial plaza being carried out.
