TO AID IN DRAFT
GENERAL CROWDER ASKS ALL
TO HELP IN CLASSIFYING ALL
REGISTRANTS — CO-OPERATION
IS KEYNOTE.
Washington. Nov. 26.—County and
city councils of defense were urged
today by Provost Marshal General
Crowder to assist the local exemp
tion boards in classifying the nearly
10,000,000 men subject to the select
ive draft.
“There is in every city, in every
hamlet almost, a council of defense,”
said General Crowder. “The organi
zations were built to help the nation
in its emergency. This is their op
portunity. Everywhere are men who
need help in the preparation of their
questionaires. The legal advisory
boards will be the advisory commit
tees. They will need men to go
into the homes and factories. Meet
ings should be organized, posters
should be displayed, lists should be
prepared, all looking to the help of
the man and the quickening of the
nation’s man power into action.
‘I an. confident that as a result of
this call every local board will be
aided in its efforts and every dis
trict will be visited. The 20 days
following December 15 should find
every 'patriot on duty.”
General Crowder said that county
and city councils of defense and
civic organizations have offered to
assist the local and district boards
in securing clerical help and in other
wavs. The boards were urged to
encourage such offers and to co
operate with the organizations as far
as consistent with their duties.

Little Rock. Nov. 27.—Last week
I failed to write you on account of
having been called to New Orleans
to judge the agricultural products of
the great fair and live stock show,
and I wish I could have the space
!.to tell you of the things of interest
seen at that great fair. On my re
turn trip I traveled by daylight, a
distance of 500 miles through a strict
ly cotton country, and I saw only
seven crews of cotton pickers in the
field. Between Memphis and New
Orleans, a distance of 400 miles,
there was not as much as five bales
of unpicked cotton in the fields to
be seen from the train. This means
that nearly all of the cotton has been
picked and ginned, and that the
world is going to be surprised at
the small cotton crop for this season.
It means too. that cotton will be
selling around forty cents a pound
before next July. I have been trying
to make money for the farmers this
year by advising them to hild their
cotton. Some have taken my ad
vice, and everybody, to a man. who
has done so, has made money by it,
and can make more. I am your sen
tinel on the watch tower, and it is
my duty to tell you these things.
If you fail to take heed, and lose
i money, it is your fault. . say to the

farmers, in all earnestness, you have
sold your cotton too cheap. The
speculators are in many Instances
making as much on your crop as you
are, or more. Cotton has been sold
in Liverpool this month for forty
two cents a pound. It costs six
cents a pound to deliver it. How
many farmers are getting thirty six
cents a pound? Don’t rush your cot
ton to market. Hold it. Warehouse
it and borrow money on it.
•The early frost hurt cotton twenty
five per cent. . Millions of unopen
bolls are in the field. They are
worth money. Machines are made
to break these bolls so they can be
ginned. Some ginners are putting
them in. others will. Save these
bollst. Gather and dry them, if
your- ginner cannot use them or gin
them ship them to some ginner that
can, or run them through a thresh
ing mashine or pea huller, and then
the ginner can gin them. Dr. < B.
Ganna way of Russellville is putting
in a breaker to handle these bolls,
and will pay from $1.75 to $2.50 a
hundred pounds for them. Don’t lose
the value of these green, frost killed
unopen bolls. They are wrorth money
Now is the tim* to breed your
brood sows for pigs next spring.
Don’t delay or overlook this matter.
Breed every sow and gilt on the
place. Prepare some ground for
spring pasture for the pigs. Sow it
in rape and spring rye in February, i
Clover can be sown In February or
March when land is suited. Sow a
patch of sorghum for the hogs to
be turned on in July or August,
when other grasses are burned out
by dry weather. Plant soy beans |
for fattening in the fall. Plant whip
poorwill peas or velvet beans in all
your corn and along all fence rows
ditches and turn-rows. Put the idle
spots to work. Remember that a
good fat hog Is worth about as
much now as a negro baby was
before the war. Raise pigs and j
calves and "rass. There Is n0 nr
tax on eith* and there is money h
them all. Go to it in hogs cnttk
sheep and goats—the things t5
make human food. It pays. It k
safe. Ask me for advice or heln
when you need it. That is whan
am here for. ^
Don't fool your corn and hay
away. Corn is selling at a dollar
a bushel in some parts of the state.
Hold it. Good hay is worth $2$N
a ton. Don’t sell until you get Iti
value.

Feeding Cottonseed Meal II
To Horses and Mules I]
Read the Following from the Progressive Farmer: ||
In traveling over the south it is gratifying to hear such an in- I
creasing number of farmers report that they are feeding two pounds | I
of cottonseed meal a day to eac“ horse and mule. This is both econo- §
mical and patriotic. It pays the farmer and also serves the nation by I
releasing corn for human consumption. On this point some agricul- I
tural organizations of the south have printed and circulated thousands 1
of conies of the following statement bv Dr. Tait Butler III
II “There are in the eleven cotton states 6,500,000 horses and mules. |
11 If each of these were fed two pounds of cottonseed meal per day it
jj would release four pounds of corn each day from the usual daily feed
jf of about 14 pounds, and 200 days of such feeding to all horses and
!| mules would release 100,000,000 bushels of corn for human food—and j
11 the mules and the horses would be benefitted by the change.
“4 pounds 'of corn at $1.55 per bushel costs 11 cents.
;; “2 pounds of cottonseed meal at $40 per ton costs 4 cents.
"The feeder would thus save 7 cents per day on each head of
| stock, or a saving of $14 per head in a period of 200 days.” I
