Permit Cotton To
Dry, Experts Urge
Raleigh.—Cotton farmers should
go slow both picking and ginning
cotton unless they want to lose
from $5 to $25 a bale, according
to P. B. Blalock, manager of the
North Carolina Cotton Growers Co
operative association, who states
that most of the cotton received so
far is badly gin-cut because of be
ing ginned either too green or too
wet. As a result, this gin-cut cotton
is selling for from $5 to $25 a bale
less than undamaged cotton.
"If cotton is ginned too green,
'or if the cotton is wet when gin
ned, the process oi ginning cuts up
the fibres and greatly lessens the
value of the cotton," said Mr. Bla
lock. "For this reason, we are urg
ing all ginners to slow up as much
as possible and gin cotton only
when it is ripe and dry."

BUILDS GOOD WILL.
One of the things which becomes
increasingly evident to us rh we
travel about is the influence which
local newspapers may exert on the
progress of the average town. While
it is generally conceded that no pa
per can thrive without the support,
of the merchants, it appears to us
that many merchants consider too
lightly, if at all, the benefits which
they derive or could derive, from
having their town represented by a
good live paper.
For instance, it is not hard to un
derstand that your own advertising
will attract more favorable attention
in a well-edited, neat-appearing news
paper than in a dull, uninviting sheet.
Moreover, the live, readable paper
will generally be found to have a
large circulation of interest, all of
which means dollars and cents to you
as an advertiser.
But consider your local paper from
the standpoint of community news
I which it carries. A well-edited paper
i chock-full of local news, is bound to
1 create much good will for your town.
' Whenever the town attempts to put
; over a community event, of what—
: ever sort, the local newspaper will
largely decide the success or failure
! of the venture by the publicity which
it provides in the news columns.
We are all interested most in the,
things we know most about. There
fore, if you have a good live newspa
per to tell the folks about your town
it follows quite naturally that they
will be interested in your town and
will come to trade'. Isn't that worth
thinking about?— Exchange.
