 Howard Bunce, a member Of the local post. who served in the aW- alton corps during the war. went 10 Hartford last Sunday and chartered plane. He flew over Berlin and made a visual survey Of the town. Bunce reported that there are many suitable places in Berlin where ap- propriatc lettering could be install ed. These letters have to be very large and will take . great deal Of space.
 The latest program Of the Legion is an important issue as aviation problems arc increasing day by day. Tn q few years emergency landing fields. letter guides to pilots, etc. will become of absolute need and tho purpose Of the legion in it's present program is 10 educate rA &3n tha' is. to impress the importance Of "air- mindcdness" on them.

difficulty in buying food because of the small price obtained

by the farmer himself and the mem
bers of his family. Frequently
these farmers are negroes, but SIS
per cent of all cotton farmers,
white and black, are tenants, and
at least Is per cent live on the
credit extended by landlord, mer-
chant and banker against the sale
of the crop. Tenancy hand-to-
mouth living and small-scale opera
ton are not conducive to efficiency.
They limit the introduction of la
bor-saving devices and the study of
improved methods, such as the Sc
lection of better seeds, the stand
ardization of seed quality through
out a given region, and the market
ing on quality instead of guam
tity basis.
This situation is undoubtedly one
of the greatest handicaps upon the
progress of the industry as whole,
because it increases the cost of pro-
ducing raw cotton and the price at
which it must be sold. Therefore,
it introduces a distinct element of
danger, for if cotton reach such a
high mark as in 1920 and 1928,
