THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1943 PAGE FOUR THE NEWS JOURNAL, RAEFORD, N. C. ed. These seven gins will gladly help those cotton farmers who are willing to help themselves. But they can't make strict middling grades out of trashy blue seed cotton. O A SINGLE COMMAND The News-Journal LM1 North CAntlinn 'MESS ASSOCIATION Telephone 3521 Published Every Thursday at RAKKORD, N. C.

C, under Act of March 3. 1870. Cotton Picking - For Better Grades And Higher Prices The cotton crop is opening faster this year than usual in Hoke County and it is suggested that as much be picked now as possible before rains fall on it. "By picking now the pick ing period can be spread out over sev eral weeks and the present labor may be able to harvest the entire crop be fore serious damage takes place," re- j p.-ru A. S. Knowles, County Agent, ! Farmers or? ui'fted to take a. Ivan- ' tage of the One Variety Cotton Pro- j gram by cooperating with the Smith-' Dooy classification srvu-e. Ciinnersj i.re cooperating with this program and will take so rr pies of each bill" and send to federal graders who will de termine the correct grade and staple and report back on a card to the indi -vidual farmers within two days after the cotton is ginned. Farmers can use this classification in several ways in aiding to boost the prices. It can be used as a measuring stick in determining whether cotton is being picked dry or wet and also whether it is picked clean or not. The grades as determined and report ed on this card can also be used if the cotton is put under Government Loan. So, farmers will be enabled to get a better price by checking up on all the factors involved. Gins Will Help Beginning this week a series of five advertisements are being run in the News-Journal urging farmers to pick their cotton correctly, so that more of the better grades can be marketed. Every cotton grower should follow the instructions set up by the ginners for good cotton-picking. Cotton is a vital war material, and the better the grade of your cotton, the more effici ent will be that war machine into which it goes. These seven ginning concerns of Hoke county sponsoring this series of ads are vitally interested in seeing that the farmer gets the highest price possible for his crop and that the boys on the fighting fronts get the best ma terial with which to wage war. They are to be congratulated for their con certed effort in this campaign which should receive the support of every individual on the Hoke County farms. Hoke county, through its one-variety program, and through the excel lence of these seven gins has attained a rank at the very top of all the cotton producing counties of the nation for high quality cotton. By close atten tion to picking this season, even with the grave shortage of labor, Hoke can set the cotton states an example in 1943 that will be difficult to be equall- (The News and Observer.) There have been enough lessons of divided command of Army and Navy forces in this war to convince this country that there ought to be only one direction of preparations and fighting in peace and war. Pearl Har bor and Hickam Field ought to have been enough but they have not been all. Is it too much to hope the Army and Navy and Air Forces will be con verted to the necessity for a single agency at Washington and in the field? As a sidelight piece of evidence to the need of unity and an end of Army and Navy waste of time and power, an Associated Press correspondent from Sicily in a delayed dispatch says: Perhaps more than any other sin gle campaign, Sicily showed the ab solute necessity for, and the dividends to be reaped from, the close coordina tion of sea and land power. There were misunderstandings and differences during the Sicilian opera tions, but in the end they were solved satisfactorily. An Army officer, after finishing a conference with a naval lieutenant commander, on plans for a landing op eration behind the lines on the north coast of Sicily, exclaimed: "I had some terrific arguments with that guy. He wanted to do things his way and I wanted to do them my way. We damn near came to blows sometimes. "But you know, he's one of :r.y best friends now. We're beginning to un derstand each ether's problems a lot more and we worked out our differ-: ences to the satisfaction of everyone." j And then he added: "I don't ne 'd I to tell you the Navy has been doing : one hell of a job in this campaign." j The American people have ins ! pride in the men who arc lighting their battle in the air. on the land and on the sea. but they are disturb ed over unnecessary "terrific argu ments" before they come to do team work. There should be no Secretary of War or Secretary of Navy, but one Secretary of National Defense and all moves for preparation and action should have a single direction. "Her lific arguments" and the old-time jeal ousies between the armed forces will not be ended until all work together in peace and war without separate and sometimes competitive and jeal ous organizations. THAT CALF'S GOTTA MAKE LOTTSA STEAKS Seems like everybody in Hoke county subscribes to the News Journal, according to Miss Josephine Hall, home agent. The little item about tending the calf which we ran last week has made her promise to give away all tne steaks there'll be to her half, and some for Mr. Knowles' too. Anyhow, Miss Hall, you'll get a lot of red stamps if you work it right. P. S. And, of course mighty nigh everybody reads the News-Journal. Some of them read the ones for which their neighbors subscribe, but they've gotta read it, you know. O FARM-MORTGAGE Farm-mortgage indebtedness for the U. S. as a whole continued to de- I cline during 1942 according to pre- ! liminary estimattes. O j COTTON j More cotton will be classed this year under the Smith-Doxey Act than j ever before in North Carolina, re- j ports Dan F. Holler, Cotton Market- ; ing Specialist at State College. O I There was no main drainages in the cities of England 80 years ago. 5 i) 1 E!I 111 BEGINS IN SEPTEMBER BACK THE ATTACK - - - WITH WAR BONDS AMERICA HAS A 315,G30,GCO,C0 HOHBAHKING QUOTA PLAN HOW TO BOOST YOUR BOND BUYING THROUGH THE FARMERS' SAVINGS PLAN !
