A life full of leisure
And nothing but pleasure
Has most made an ingrate of you;
You pass up with sighing
The news that “They’re dyftig”—
Just asking what else you could do.
But you could be speeding
To wounds that are bleeding
A good contribution—not dross—
Help make the load lighter
For some noble lighter.
And give through your local Red

Widespread interest attaches among
farmers, cotton seed crushers and/all
others interested in the cotton seed
industry, in a meeting which they
havo been invited to attend in Atlan
ta on Friday, May 24th.
This meeting has been called by
Secretary D. F. McClatchey, of the
State Food Administration, in order
that those interested might meet Dr.
George H. Donny and Hugh Hum
phries of the cotton seed division of
the United States Food Administra
tion, who will bo here to go over the
situation with them.
At this meeting full and free discus
sion of the cotton seed industry will
be solicited, with a view of fixing rul
nnd regulations for the coming sea
son. Those invited and urged to at
tend include farmers, officials of the
farm organizations, ginners, cotton
seed buyers, crushers, the Commis
sioners of Agriculture of. Georgia and ,
Florida, and other state officials in
terested in agricultural markets.
With reference''tt> the cotton seed
situation, the Georgia State Bureau j
of Markets has always taken the posi- -
tlon that if a prico is to W fixed for '
cotton seed, it shquld be fixed upon
the same parity with hog lard which
existed prior to the war. The differ-
cnce between the prico of refined oil
and hog lard before the war was 2,;fj
cents a pound; the difference today u li
6 cents. The contentioni of the Bu- j .
renu is, therefore, that the adminis-
tration should cither bring down the^ (
price of hog lard to the 2 cent differ
ence, ur put the price of cotton seed to
tho point where ho same pre-war par
ity will be maintained. ,
