Southwest Gets
Low Hay Rate

NEW YORK-Eastern railroads
today announced the extension of
their half-rate program for the
shipments of hay to drought areas
to include eight Southwestern
states. In addition, about 100 addi-
tional counties in Southern states
have been added to the list of des-
tinations eligible for the reduced
rates.
Edgar V. Hill, chairman of the
Traffic Executive Association of
Eastern Railroads, said that the
special SO per cent reduction in
rates became effective Novem-
Der 19, on shipments of hay to
Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Nevada, New Mexico, Okla
homa and Texas. Previously these
special rates on shipments from
Eastern territory had applied only
on hay going to Kentucky, Mississ-
ippi, North Carolina, Tennessee
and Virginia.
Hill explained that this action
has been taken in cooperation with
Western railroads at the request
of the Department of Agriculture.
While it formerly appeared that

also get $500 a ton for the oil

make oleo free but don't seem
inclined to do it.
That's what makes me mad.
They all get more than we farm
ers do and tell us to like it. The
sharecropperS of the cotton fields
have nearly all disappeared along
with the sorghum mills, saw mills
and moccasins. Some have fled
while their clothes were still

been buried in the fields where
they fought losing battle with
fate. The grave of one of them

RummeII Speaks
At Land-Gran+
CoNeqe Session

Research is an investment and
consumers need to be told this,
says L. L. Rummell, dean of the
College of Agriculture, Ohio State
University, and director of the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, Wooster.
In an illustrated talk at the an
nual meeting of the Land-G Grant
College Association, Rummell
spoke of a philosophy of research
in agriculture.
Rummell pointed out that Amer
ican consumers get the best food
at reasonable prices partly be-
cause of research and extension
services of Land-Grant Colleges.
He called for an increased effort
directed to urban consumers, say
ing, our target in telling the story
about research must be the IS per-
cent not living on farms"
During his talk, he DISPLAYED
several circulars and leaflets pub
ished recently for consumers. He
mentioned antibiotics, artificial in
semination, and meat-type animals
which have come from expert
mental results and have made
cheaper and more nutritious food.

Gov. Lausche Asks
Ohioans To Aid
Korean Children

NEW YORK-Governor Frank
]. Lausche today urged all Ohio
residents to participate in the OBJ
servance of Korean Children's Day
November 25th, by contributing
toward the purchase of a CARE
food or textile package for needy
Korean child.
In his proclamation, Governor
Lausche pointed out that "the re-
cent war orphaned 100000 Korean
infants and young children and
left 100000 boys and girls in dire
need. The valiant people of South
Korea, their resources drained and
their country devastated, are un-
able to provide the barest necessi-
ties for their children"
To help to alleviate this crisis,
a group of American women, head
ed by Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower
as honorary chairman, have FORM
ed a CARE for Korean Children
Committee and will work in coop
Grafton with CARE to send much
needed supplies. Mrs. Myron M.
Cowen, wife of the former United
States Ambassador to the Philip
pines, Belgium and Australia, is
chairman of the committee during
the Thanksgiving Christmas sea-
son fund drive.
The committee has selected
Thanksgiving Eve as Korean Chill.
dren's Day in the hope that citi-
zens of a great democracy who arc
about to celebrate a national holi-
day dedicated to giving thanks
will remember to share their
blessings.
Realizing the need for this aid,
Governor Lausche concluded his
Korean Children's Day proclama-
ton with, Therefore, / do call up
on each man, woman and child to
mark that day by contributing to-
ward a CARE package of food for
a child in Korea, thus expressing
our gratitude for our plenty and
affirming our concern for the well
fare of our Korean friends"
Contributions in any amount
sent to CARE for Korean Chill
drpp $50 E'ircf Ayap1ta NJoxuy voyI,

CARE food and textile packages
ranging in price from S. to $40.
CARE representatives in Korea
will deliver the packages to South
Korean orphanages, schools and
impoverished families to help
make the Christmas season a time
of renewed hope.

Mothers Club Studies Handbook
To Entertain District President

The program for the meeting
last week of the West Jefferson
Mothers Club at the home of
MRS. Thomas Pearce, was clever
ly planned by Mrs. Ben Timmons,
whose duty it was to lead a discus
sion on the Handbook of the
Child Conservation League with
which the group is affiliated.
In place of a humdrum discus
sion, Mrs. Timmons had hit upon
the idea of making it a game of
Musical Chair. The question was
asked and the game was on, each
one dropping into her chair when
she could answer and was award
ed prize for coming up with a
reply.
Mrs. Raymon Deacon, Mrs
Everett Ellinger and Mrs. George
Stlckel won contest prizes.
Assistant hostesses for the
meeting were Mrs. Robert Recob
and Mrs. Richard Johnson.

OF Many Problems
OF Cotton Farmer

f. w. Johnson, who with Mrs.
Johnson and their daughter, Miss
Isabelle Johnson, have recently
returned from a seven weeks
stay in Newport, Arkansas, where
Mr.. johnson has business inter-
estS, writes about the cotton busi-
ness in Arkansas. His story fol-
lows:
Cotton is the overcoat of a
seed that is planted and grown
in the Southern States to keep
the producer broke and the buyer
crazy. The fiber varies in color
and weight and the man who can
guess the nearest the length of
the fiber is called a cotton classer
by the public, fool bv the far~~"-
ers and a poor business man by
his creditors.
'"The price of cotton is fixed in
New York and goes up when you
have sold and down when you
have bought. A buyer working for
a group of mills was sent to New
York to watch the cotton market
and after a few days deliberation
wired his firm to this effect:
Some think it will go up, some
think it will go down. I do too.
Whatever you do will be wrong.
Act at once. Cotton is planted in
the Spring, mortgaged in the sum-
mer and left in the field all Win
ter. There are other definitions,
but they are profane and unfit
for publication.
Notwithstanding such a re-
putation and assailed by the worst
drouth in history, this plant has
shown the greatest results of its
kindness and consideration for the
bewildered farmers of the South.
It is also assailed by thrips and
other unnamed mites; by hoppers,
leaf worms, boil worms, boil wee
vii, and sore shins, a disease of
the roots, yet this years crop is
one of the largest ever produced
16,O93,0O0 bales of 500 pounds;
(the Government estimate for
November 1st.
THE grade is also very high
this year and the turnout of lint
above record. Ordinarily it has
taken 1900 pounds of seed cotton
as picked in the fields to yield a
500 pound bale. This year 1850
to 14OO lbs. has made the bale.
This is a result of the drough
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1953-11-24

which has made small and light
seed.
''The grade of cotton is based
above or below the Government
standard of MiddIng with 1916
inch staple and has loan price of
32.79 cents per pound. However,
40%6 of the Arkansas crop has
been classed Strict Middling and
l 1/16 inch staple with a loan
value of 34.40. cents and another
500 as Middling l 1892 inch at
1879 in the loan.
"At the Walter F. Hurley Gin
at DiaZ, Arkansas as of November
10th they have put 2600 bales in
the loan and he has purchased
only $50 bales at 331a cents as
that is all it will bring in the
market. They expect to gin $3.50
bales this year as there is much
of the crop yet to be picked. Much
OF the crop has been picked by
TeXas-Mexicans and Mexican Ma
tionals who are under control of
u. S. and Mexican Governments.
Cotton seed has been bought
by the oil mill at Newport, Ark.
at $4,000 per ton as compared
with $1,000 last year. However,
the oleo, oil and other products
from the seed seemed to be run
ming low; consequently, the price
was boosted to $54.0O on Novem-
Der 1st, after the farmers were
mostly cleaned out 1t takes about
10 cents worth of cotton seed to
make a pound of oIeo. 1t doesn't
cost the mill that much. They get
