O Cl'T LESPEDEZA HAY NOW Lespedeza hay should be cut with in the next few days before so many of the lower leaves shed, says A. S. Knowles. County Agent. ' By cutting lespedeza hay at this time it will con serve the largest amount of nutrition al value and will come ahead of the peak in picking cotton. The best time to cut lespedeza hay is in the af ternoon and where side delivery rakes are available it can be raked just be hind the mower and then housed, stacked or baled within 48 hours pro vided no rain falls on it after being .cut. O CHOOSE Many farmers will be forced to choose between growing more feed or reducing their livestock, reports Dr. I. O. Schaub of State College.

RarfonL War i North Carolina Next To Bottom In Cotton Grades Memphis, Aug. 16 Declaring cot ton is threatened with loss of its po sition as "the world's greatest fiber," the president of the National Cotton council warned today. "We must im prove our crop, and do it now." Addressing ranking officials of the industry from 15 states, Oscar John ston added: "It is essential that we meet this problem if we are to main tain cotton's contribution to the war effort." Cotton men met with Government agricultural officials to plan ways of relieving critical shortages in high grade cotton. Stressing the role pickers and gin ners play in improving the quality of the crop, the officials decided to car ry the message of 'higher grade cot ton" to the cotton belt's 2,500,000 farm families, its 7,000.000 pickers, and 12.000 gins. Johnston asserted that the last two crops were of the lowest grade on re cord and that the next crop threatens to be lower still. "If this trend continues." he said "it may be soon that middling will be the best we can grow." Johnston said figures broken down by states showed the problem to be general. The decline in the produc tion of strict middling and better since 1928 was from 42 to 10 per cent in Tennessee, 60 to 11 per cent in Miss issippi, 45 to 7 per cent in Trkansas, 60 to 3 per cent in Alabama, 35 to 3 per cent in Georgia, 25 to 2 per cent in South Carolina, 26 to 3 1-2 per cent in North Carolina, 32 per cent to none in Virginia, 50 to 10 per cent in Lou isiana, 50 to 10 per cent in Texas, 50 to 2 per cent in Oklahoma. O PICK WHEN DRY Do not start picking too early in the day. Wait un til the dew has dried away. SPREAD OUT IN SHEETS Whether it appears slightly damp or not, spread the cotton out on sheets, very thinly, and allow the sun to dry it for at least fifteen minutes. DON'T MIX GOOD And BAD you have some good clean cotton, and some that is not so good - Do Not Mix Them. There are many farmers who lose much money each year by mixing different grades of cotton before it is gin ned. . 'Sff? HAVE YOUR COTTON GINNED WHERE THE GIIIIIER HAS YOUR IN TEREST III MIND.

Materials Demand Never Before Has The United States Needed So Much Of The BETTER Grade Of Cotton Every branch of the Armed Services is Demanding More and More of the better and cleaner grades. We, the cotton ginners of Hoke County urge you to do your utmost to deliver a high grade crop to the gins this year to meet the more than 11,000 different uses to which cotton is being put in this war. THE BEST SUGGESTIONS WE CAN GIVE FOR ASSURING HIGH GRADE FOR THE ARMY AND SECURING THE TOP MARKET PRICE FOR YOURSELVES ARE THESE: HOKE OIL & FERTILIZER CO. EDINBURG GIN CO. DUIIDARRACH TRADING CO. McG0UGAN GIN CO. GINNERY m n PICK NOW TTOlM Don't let the weather damage your crop. Even a light rain or wind will cause loss of color and low er the grade. Don't pick it green but pick it as soon as it is fully open. KEEP TRASH OUT Leaves, dirt and other foreign matter should be el iminated. They reduce the grade and cut the price you receive. Our cleaners will remove some but they were not made to produce strict middling grades out of dirt and trash. iron (
