THE COTTON OUTLOOK

The outlook for cotton this season is
 much better than last season, in spite
 of weather conditions that throw the
 crop about two weeks later than nor aEaal. With an acreage increase of only
 4 per cent, there is an estimated pros spective production increase of nearly s twenty per cent. This means that the Splanter will produce more cotton to the
 acre, a result that reduces the cost per
 bale and widens the margin of potential
 profit. Although the federal report s takes the view that the weevils are less < numerous this year throughout the cot ton belt except certain parts of Texas, reports from Montgomery and other points show that the recent warm ! weather has stimulated the weevils to new activity and that they are now far more numerous than was anticipated somewhat earlier.
 Credit for holding the weevil some ! what in. check must not, however, be
 eiven to the severe freeze of last winter, but to the late cool spring, the winter
 destruction of cotton stalks and to the fi&ht enlightened growers are waging on ] the weevils with their calcium arsenate. ' hast year many planters fought the weevil with poison. This year the num- Der of planters that are following that example has multiplied several times ana the number is still growing as the season
 progresses.
 SIt has been calculated for Alabama that the net profit of proper dusting of : cotton is an average of twenty dollars an acre. This amount is reached by com putting all the cost of labor, material and overhead for dusting the cotton at nec- ,. essary intervals and subtlacting that sum
 from the average increase in yield due to control of the weevil. If farmers can make twenty dollars profit an acre by ! dusting their cotton it will pay big to
 dust it. When in addition to control of the weevil they apply more efficient methods of culture, seed selection, fer 7tiIizing, grading and marketing, they will treble and quadruple that twenty dollars per acre. The outlook for cotton is
 bright, not because of weather condi- ! tions, but because farmers are learning how to combat the conditions that hlth-
 erto have defeated them.

THE SWEET TOOTH

It takes 25OO00 workers and a factory output valued at $450,O00,000 yearly to sat. isfy this countrys taste for candy. This taste is largely of modern development. Our great grandfnthers got along with very little sugar in any form Those who were isolated in the mountains and only partly settled districts had virtually nothing sweet to eat at all. and what they did get was usually the occasional capture of a store of wild honey. Yet now most Americans can scarcely think of living without sugar. A party of explorers, coming back to. civilization, declared that it's hard ships began when an accident brought de- struction to the sugar supplies. Two scientists who had spent summer in the Barren Grounds of British America and tramped into a Hudson's Bay post, ate whole bucket of candy their first day there.-Toledo Blade.

THE MILITARY TRAINING CAMPS

More than four thousand young men of the South began training Thursday for a period of several weeks in Citizens Military Training Camps at Camp Me Clellan, near Anniston; Fort Bragg, in North Carolina, and Fort Barrancas, in Florida. The greatest number of young men at any training camp in the United States has been assigned to Camp Me eiellan, where about $500 are assem- ,abled, with forty regular army officers and as many reserve corps officers. on instruction duty. It is believed that in future there will be more eagerness on the part of Alabama young men to ac- cept the opportunities offered than was rhanifest this year. As the purposes of the work become better known and the results better appreciated, attendance Is expected to show marked increase
 'a The people of Anniston have made special efforts to offer many hospitali- ties to both the officers and young men gaksC Camp Mcclellan. and the citizens ex- pect material benefits both in direct

YOU are correct. The letter

not be signed with your husbands

good form to include your hus-
band in the sentence just before
the close Of the letter. Say, for
instance, something like this,
Jack and are looking forward to
seeing you and Bob just as soon
as 1 get WELL" Then you can
follow this sentence with
"Friendliest greetings and every
sincere wish that you are well
and happy, Most devotedly yours,
Mildred
