Food Administrator H'enry A. Page
Reaches Important Agreement With
ioiionseed Crushers Faremrs Urg
ed to Pool Seed.
iitt-:i - :a. t ii .
vviuie it may De tnat some oi us
really do not know all the words to all
the verses of "The Star S Dan cried
Banner," we can all appreciate the
following bit of verse that we have
"News Notes," pub
Colorado Aericultural
College. You will find that it ex
presses only too well our lack of at
tention in the past to things that have
more recently become uppermost in
our minds. Many or most of us,
had not sung or tried to sing the
good old song, since we used to sing
it at opening exercises in the lower
schools.
And now, when we go to publir;
gatherings and "The Star Spangled
Banner" is s,ung, how many of us
start off bravely in our loudest tones,
only to find that at the end of the
first few lines we have come to the
end of our knowledge of the subject?
To be sure, when it comes to the last
two lines of each- stan2a, in which the
Star Spangled Banner still waves o'er
the land of the free and the home of
Raleigh. The cottonseed producers
of North Carolina will receive tens of
thousands of dollars extra this year as
tt result Of an agreement ronhpr ho.
tween State Food Administrator
Henry A. Page and the North Carolina
Cottonseed Crushers' Association,
whereby the crushers are to pay the
same prices to farmers as they pay to
cottonseed dealers on lots of ten tons
or more delivered t their mills with
in a period of five days. The Crush
ersagreed to not only do this but to
encourage the smaller farmers to pool
their seed so as to secure the higher
price, which otherwise would be lost.
The difference between the carlot rate
ana wagon rate ior seea is 3.0U per
ton which the farmer can save by the
new agreement.
Mr. Page authorized and instructed
the mills, where farmers haul seed
from a point nearer to a railway ship
ping point than to the mill, to pay the
farmer for hauling the amount they
would have been compelled to pay, as
freight from the shipping point.
These agreements and orders will
result not only in a saving of tens of
thousands of dollars to the farmers,
but will effect a tremendous saving in
freight tonnage and bring about the
supplying of all mills to a much
greater- extent from their immediate
localities. '
Man Tries for Three Years M join

Pasadena, Cal.Louls Deschamps is'
a Frenchman and a patriot.
Illness, has kept Louis from the bat

but he kept persevering and recently
succeeded passing a physical exam

36 draft men were to leave Pasadena
for American Lake, Deschamps ap
peared before draft officials of ex

"I've passed my examination," he
shouted. "What are my chances for

"Your chances are fine," was the
answer, "ir you can get ready in
thirty minutes."
Deschamps chartered a high-pow

ness affairs in record time and was

Raleigh. State Food Administrator
Henry A. Page has announced, 4he
price of cotton seed and established
two zones for cotton seed, in North
Carolina.
The price of cottonseed has been
fixed at a slightly higher average fig
ure than the figure received for them
by farmers last year. The price of
oil has been stabilized at the same
figure, thanks to the Food Adminis
trations influence with the refiners
and compound lard manufacturers
through its control of export sales of
their product. The maximum price of
hulls will be $20 pet ton. The price, of
meal will be a little higher at themill
than it was last year unless the War
Industries Board can be influenced to
increase the price of linters from the
present figure of $4.67 per hundred. If
the price of linters is increased, the
price of meal will be dcreased.
The price of cottonseed was fixed
at the figure suggested by the produc
ers of cottonseed as represented by
the Commissioners of Agriculture and
farmers' organizations throughout the 1 ye Have the Right Prices
outn.
The price for seed will range from
$64 to $72 per ton, depending upon
oil and protein content. '
The whole South is being divided
a zones, according to tne on ana pro
tein content in the respective zones.
North Carolina will be divided into
two zones. rhe eastern- zone snowea
last year an average ail content of
307 1-2 pounds per ton, and the price
of seed in this zone will be $70 per
ton. The content of oil in the westernJ
zone was 315 pounds per ton, and the
price of seed in this zone wU be $72
per ton. The eastern zone embraces all
of that territory east of the eastern
boundaries of Robeson, Hoke, Lee,
Wake, Franklin and Warren counties,
and the western zone the counties
named and all counties west of them.

W F. LITTLE
NOTARY PUBLIC
Tryon, N. C
Raleigh. As a .matter of protection
for North Carolina cotton producers,
State Food Administrator Henry A.
Page has announced that the, rules
and regulations of the Food Adminis
tration concerning ginning will be
rigidly enforced in this State. In the
ffrst place, any gin that handles more
than 20 tons of seed must be licensed
before it can operate. Disregard of
this law is punishable by a fine of
$5,000 or two years imprisonment or
both. Rule 7. of the regulations gov
erning ginners prohibits wasteful
practices and requires that every
licensee controlling or operating a gin
shall clean seed cotton and separate
the seed from the lint in an efficient
manner, and forbids the adding to or
mixing with cotton seed any foreign
matter which may or may not have
been separated in the process of gin
ning.
State Food Administrator Henry A.
Page has fixed the price of ginning at
s SO ter bale for each bale of 500
pounds, or less and SO cents per hun
dred pounds of lint above 500 pounds.
In addition to this price, the ginner is
allowed to add the cost of bagging and
ties plus 10 per cent of such.cost. This
price was fixed over the very strenu
ous protest of a large number of gin
ners in North Carolina who, under a
toll arrangement would hare gotten
tor this year's tinning $10 to $12 ptff
