North Carolina farmers have the unenviable reputation of selling a very amount of damaged cotton. cording to a survey made by O. J Mc Connell, Specialist in Cotton Market ing of the Extension Service and Sec retary of the North Carolina Associa tion, 1,070,230 pounds of damaged coc ton were picked from 51,608 bales of North Carolina cotton shipped td Nor folk, Viryinia, during the period from September 1, 1914 to August 31, 1917. About 200,000 pounds of good cotton were picked off with the good damaged cotton, and it had to be sold at a con siderable sacrifice also. A his is a known loss of approximately one-half million dollars that benefited no one and caused countless misunderstand ings and disputes. Cotton left lying around gins, or on the ground in yards will rot quickly at this season of the year. Both the Cot ton Association and Extension Service feel that cotton will bring higher prices later, and should be held But, farmers who haven't a floored house in which to put their cotton should either sell it or store in a warehouse. As a rule, storage houses are the bet ter. Chambers of Commerce and pub lic spirited business men should see that storage space is provided for car ing for all the cotton that is exposed in their several communities. Cotton is entirely too valuable tq .be,, jieglectj ed. Temporary conversion' of tobacco warehouses will help the ' situation at anumber of places and should be push ed.

I shouli have written before to you both but I have so much writing to do, it takes a long time to get around. I think of you every, day and wish I could have been at home before this but we are still in France and it looks as if wevill be JiereQrJ while yet. I certainly hope theys will decide soon to send-ws" home,, for I am anxious to see you all once-more. r . : after having so much snow. The snow was uii i tie giuiuiu uuee wcivs, uv it was seme cold, I went out hunting in it, and we caught five fox. There are lots of foxes around here. We had somii :i un in the snow catching them. . I am glad. it. was a pretty winter in the United States as last winter was such a bad one. I am well and enjoying good health Hope you are the same. Glad Palmer and Jim liked the land in Va. I may buy somes when I get home. Mother said in her letter that: Jennie had bought a nice place in Richmond; hope she will like it. I will take a trip to see her and Taylor when I come home. I hope it won't be: long before I can come. Sorry Sophie has been sick, hope she is well by this time. I would love to write and tell you all about my experience on the battle field, but is too much to begin i;o write, so will wait until I get home and tell jrou all about it- We had a hard timej. We were under fire 48 hour's without anything to eat or drink; never will I forget those days. I went over to Chotillon Saturday on a pass and I talked to an American Girl for the first time since I have been here, be lieve me her voice sounded good xo me. Two of our soldier boys married French girls over here Saturday, but for me, I will wait until I get back, for there is none like the American girls for me. You said in your last letter you had not had a letter from me. I don't see why. I have written to you several times. Write often, I always enjoy a letter frcm you and Mary.

This means two hours of high class enters tainment, and at the same time worthy cause. We need not commend the Class nor the cause to those, who have once heard them, bue we do desire to remind you to be - on hand with your wife and children, or your best girl. A man named Stone exclaimed in a tavern:: .'- : ' im& "I'll bet a dollar I have the hardest name in the country.' 'Done," said one of the company ; i "vhat's your name?" ' "Stone" cried the first. "Hand me the money," said the other, j"my name is Harder." a Sir rtunity Iri - America The, biggest thing that - America stands for is opportunity.. , Opportuni ty is the dearest treasure also to the soul of the native-born American. America -is not tired. It is young, ambitious, and eager for adventure. All the American asks of the world is a chance. - All he dreams of is the open door. And he hates, most of all, whatever bars his road or in any other way interferes with his progress. The uiicleanest notion - that ever ; entered inlo the mind of society is that certain people r ; are "born ; to, the , purple." A rerura tolerates no such, oninion among us typical Tana wpoiesomenti zens. Those who- entertain it dos not belong. They do not speak our lan guage. " Americans look upon life as a great, operji game. Some will win and some will lose. And Americans are good losers., We cannot feel that envy and hatred toward the successful that is generated in the windmill fighter Americans do not want any leader, to assign to every man his post and his wages, and thus, . . by - a cast iron scheme, compel everyone to be happy. The thing that lies nearest to the American's . .heart is Liberty. He wants his government not to be con structed upon the ideal theory of some impractical visionary. Indeed, he does not want it to' be constructed upon any theory at all, except the theory of intelligent, honest v pportunsm and common sense. Americans are ideal- ists. We sent over two million men to fight if need be, to die in Europe, arid we spent billiions of dollars of; dol-. dars, all for the ideal. We did not ex pect to gain one foot of territory nor one dollar's "worth - of loot for our selves. -:We would not. take by force of arms the land or goods of any other nation. There was never a greater prevalent among other nations that America has. no soul above the dollar.- . In - the ideals , of true Americanism lies the real hope of the world.

Even if millions might have been saved, we won the war.' . That was the big thing; and we were prepared to pay ten times - as much, if need be. After the fire is out and the factory has been saved it's easy to fret about the quanity of water used and the splashes on the office rug. r But as a matter of record every dollar spent in this 1 country weighed against the German morale. We - made stupendous preparation. Two million men were sent to France. More were on the way. Germany, terrified, surrendered. Had we not made such plans the war probably would have lasted six months. -or a year.longer. - The money spent here saved countless lives in BYance, and who can say that the policy was not a wise one ? Now the bills must be paid; the men must be brought; homer; the sick and wounded given proper care. ' Yet there are still a few croakers. They think we have already made so many ; sacrifices! j .But how; ;.do v our casualties compare with those of Erig-. land and France ? . Where are our de- vasted farms, our wrecked, homes, our fctoriedestroedvj cities in "ruins"? ""HasHWot 'civilization been .saved? Is T victory :to be reckon ed on a cash register? J Those' who went to France did not go as a busi ness proposition; they did not go to clip coupons They went to destroy militarism and to save the freedom of the world. .They smashed the Hinden- burg line and with it the Hun's hope of world dominion.- 4 Now there is the bill to pay, but still there are a few croakers; . per haps there always will -. be. Not so the rank and file, the bone and blood and brawn of the nation. The people have never yet fallen down when they had . a big task ahead. : But when the Victory Liberty Loan has gone into history the man who only ' croaked when, everybody else was -whooping up the ; big campaign i will have a lot of explaining. to do, and, worst of all, it will be a matter of life-long humilia tion, fb itter, galling .shame, for him to know that he cannot prove an alibi even to his own conscience.

Raleigh, N. C, March 26 The action of the Agricultural Extension Service in asking for the listing of all crop acreages in each county of the State is a very wise move, according to the statements of prominent farmers, bankers -and agricultural workers re cently interviewed by Mr Frank Par ker, of the United States Crop report ing service. The Extension Service is now having printed a blank form for listing the acreage devoted to the dif ferent crops on the different farms in each county of the State. A supply of these blanks will be sent to the Board of County Commissioners of each county with the request that the matter be handled by them so that the list takers may secure this informa tion in every township. . Mr. Parker has been in at least 12 counties recently,, and has found, in every case, where the matter has been explained to the Board of Commission ers, they have seen the importance of the move, and have agreed to make a small appropriation to cover the ex penses of the work in their counties. This report of crop acreage, com bined with the Governments Crop Re port on estimated yields, will give to any county the most accurate "data and the most dependable facts and figures that could be secured." These could be used not only by the farmers produce which would be grown jbut, would . also . aid all business' interests. The farmers could use the . inf orma- . tion so as to plan for planting, hold ing, selling and in determining the crop production of the county. The facts for comparison with the produc tion of other counties, for attracting settlers, for advertising and boosting, and, in addition, would furnish the State and Nation with greatly needed basic information. The action seems to be a wise one and is meeting with general approval according to-reports received. It is hoped that every, coimty in the State will provide for the work. ns of Interest From Marmadulie Miss Myrtle Duke is . spending this week with Mrs. Harry Leonard.
