FEDERAL COTTON OFFICE NOW RECEIVING APPLICA TIONS FOR FREE CLASSING Applications for free cotton classing and market news service, inaugurated last season by the1 United States Department of Ag riculture, are being filed in in creasing volume at Its Atlanta of-j flee for the 1939 season, according to Joe H. McLure, who is in charge of the free classing work in the southeastern area. Samples of all cotton ginned i from an adopted variety of each approved organization will be) classed for grade and staple length ( by government classers. No charge' is made for this service which isj intended to show growers who are; making an organized effort toj glow hetttr cotton the market; quality of each bale they produce. < In addition to the classing, grow- ' ers will be provided with market news reports quoting current pri ces for the various grades and sta ple lengths. According to Mr. McLure, 312 1 applications from organized im-| provement groups were approved for the Cotton Belt as a whole dur ing the 1938 ginning season. Re ports from extension workers and 1 other sources indicate that as many as 900 groups may apply for the service lor the 1939 ginning season. "Should funds allotted for the 1939-40 season be insufficient to supply t'he classing to all groups applying," he said, "appli cations will be considered in the order in which they are received after due allowance is made for the difference in planting dates i over the Cotton Belt. Groups de-j siring the service Bhould make ap plication at once." I The deadline for filing applica- ' tions is September 1.

BEAM, Agent (20 T?an Tire Insurance Writing) TOUGH ON THE ARSONIST Times are getting tougher for bat most despicable of criminals, tbe arsonist ? due to the splendid work of fire insurance organiza tions, of police departments, of prosecuting authorities and of tbe courts. As a report of the Committee on Incendiarism and Arson of tbe National Board of Fire Underwrit ers observes, "The past year has jsen one of continued activity and success as shown by the number Df investigations made and the ac tivity of public authorities in mak ing arreste and prosecutions." Af ter many years of constant work, i system finally has been develop ed wbich makes the professional Bre-bug's chance of escape from detection extremely low. The records of the National Board, covering cases in which i their agents participated, show a steady increase in tbe percentage of convictions following arrests and, generally speaking, a decline in the percentage of acquittals. This means that greater care is being taken in gathering evidence, and greater zeal is being shown by prosecutors ? to the end that tbe arsonist finds fewer legal loop holes which once made it' relative ly easy for him to ^escape the just punishment for his crime. Of tremendous importance is the success achieved in breaking up the "arson rings" which periodi cally operate about the country. Under the ring system, arson is a business. Some rings have opera ted for years, and have defrauded insurance companies and others of fortunes. The arson fighters have paid special attention to1 these criminals, and the result is that scores of them are now be hind bars, serving long sentences. The war against al'son should have unanimous public support, rhe "torch" deserves no sympathy. He does deserve the severest- pos sible punishment.
