According to J. A. Shanklin, ex tension cotton special at State Col lege. good ginning and poor gin mng show up noticeably in the prep aration and grade of cotton. It is imperative therefore that ginners "make ready" their gins during the growing season so that they will be in position to offer growers a good job in the fall. July is the usual "make ready" month and during that period ginners should be care ful to put all machinery and equip ment in tip-top shape. palians are scheduled to battle it out in the first game.

Canada paved the way (or naval occupation of Ice land by the United States. Along with British troops, a Canadian mil itary contingent was in Iceland for months, constructing roads, estab lishing bases. The Cameron High landers of Ottawa were the last Canadian unit in Iceland. They were relieved by British troops towards the end of April. "It is the most sig nificant move yet," was the com ment of Prime Minister Mackenzie King on the landing of American forces in Iceland. "Naturally I am greatly pleased." Construction is rapidly proceeding on the chain of air bases from Ed monton to Whitehorse, Yukon Ter ritory. These are the bases recom mended. by the United States-Canada Joint Defense Board. They form an air link with Alaska. All the radio stations will be finished this fall. Between the outbreak of war and March 31, 1941, Canada provided Great Britain with more than $500, 000,000 to help her finance her war purchases. By March 31, 1941, it is estimated, Canada will have provid ed Britain with nearly $1,000,000,000 more for the same purpose. Assistance to Great Britain is dis tinct from Canadas' own expendi ture as a belligqtent. Canada's own I war expenditure is paid for entirely by the Canadian taxpayer. In the present fiscal year, Canadians will spend about 40 per cent of their to tal national income for war. Through Labor Minister N L. Mc Larty, the Canadian Government has made known Its approval of a cost of living bonus of $1.93 a week for 3,000,000 workers in Canada. The bonus is based on a 7.7 per cent rise in the cost of living above the level of August, 1939, and is calculated at the rale of $l za per worker per week for each "five per cent rise in the cost of living index. The cost of living bonus has two main object ives: (a) to help to stop or limit in flation and (b) to give labor a shield against the worst consequences of rising prices The first 25-pound field guns and first cruiser tank produced in Can ada have left the assembly lines. The new gun will form the chief wea pon of field artillery units and re place the old 18-pounder. Main changes from the old gun are pneu matic wheels, improved sighting, and greater angle of elevation. The cruiser tank embodies many new fetaures and is to be sent to the Unit ed States for demonstration. The first heavy infantry tank to be pro duced in Canada left the assembly line some weeks ago.
