cation of peat moss can be cut in
two, but hold the cotton seed mea
at the same level. Under trees the
amount of organic matter should be
doubled. Agricultural Mme at the

This is a splendid month to
make a list of shrubs that are on
hand or available for the land
scaping project. While shrubbery
is being trimmed it would be a
’;«;:;4! idea to plan for a cutting
j-hm] and exchange Cutti{lgs with
| neighbors. Do not plan for too
!mun_\' kinds of. plants. Native
‘fjxl;nr]l: may be used to good ad
| vantage and they ought to be
jm;n'kw! so that they can be easily
|found wher. ready to transplant.
fAH the old time shrubs are good,
[look about and see which are do
[ing well and use some of them in
'111«- landscape. ¢ ;
| Those sos us who love the red
'bud blooming early, about the last
!w(mk in February, should put out
a tree of it :omewhere in the
landscape. The haws which have
red berries are a delight to many
for the winter. These two are
easily found in our woods and can
be transplanted if care is taken.
ey ]
The season for cw.& flowers will |
soon be over, but e have the|
bulbs which may be grown in
bowls or pots and a succession of
blossoms -are possible with a lit
tle thought and care. The orange
or grapefruit seed planted in a
small pot will give a charming
&vergreen for a table decoration.
Then the heets or carrots which
will grow ir. waher in a glass bowl
are Jovely and will last all win
ter. Take tender carrots & beets,
cutting off most of the roots, pull
ing off all leaves except the ten
«der bud leaves and place in water
and watch them grow. Try it.
Always remember that the key
notes of success in flower arrange
ment are simplicity and sincerity.
Thursday is Thanksgviing day.
Most of us have a great deal to be
thankful for—a healthy family, a
good garden, a pantry of canned
fruits and vegetables, plenty of
good wood for a fire, cows, chick
ens, hogs, corn, wheat, potatoes.
We are blessed.
What shall we have for .a
Thanksgiving dinner? Look
around, plan from the store above,
dress up an every-day dinner in
to a dinner for this occasion. Ask
some friend or neighbor to dinner.
Menu—Baked hen with dressing
and gravy, sweet potato surprise,
apple and cabbage salad, whole
wheat muffins, butter, milk and
cofiee, canned peaches and cook
jes for dessert. A glass of tart
jelly o plum sauce would make a
happy accompaniment for the
chicken and dressing.

COTTON MARKET f 3
CASIER AND LOWER
]Supply and Demand Show
Increase in Domestic
I and Exports
| For the week ending November
|lB, the cotton market was rather
easier and about 35 points lower,
according ;to a report by J. Wil
liam Firor and H. ¥. Burch, of
ithe College of Agriculture, Satur
day.
Reports indicate that the de
mand for spot cotton was rather
mixed, ranging from only fair in
some sections to good in others
and included almost all grades and
Jstaples, they said. The report
follows:
“Farmers are picking the rem
nants of the 1932 cotton crop.
The average price for middling
7-8 inch cotton at the designated
spot market was 6.15 cents, as
compared with 5.73 about a year
f]go. BSales of spot cotton gt
these ten markets were 268477
bales for the past week compared
with about 240,000 bales for the
same week a year ago. Reports
so date this season show that ex
ports are slightly ahead of the
same date last year, while domes
tic consumption during October
‘exceed last October by approxi
‘mately 40,000 bales. This is also
slightly more than for the same
‘period last year.
“The world supply of American
cotton for the seavon beginning
August 1 and ending July 31 is
estimated at approximately 25,300,-
000 bales. This is a reduction of
approximately 500,000 bales in the
supply for this season compared
with the supply for the previous
cotton season. At present the sup
ply and demand situatian shows a
reduction in the total supply and
some increase in both domestic
consumption and exports to for
eign countries, when the situation
today is compared with the supply
and demand situation of one year
ago.
“Good middling cotton is re
ported as bringing 41 points on
middling with strict middling 27
points on, strict low 31 points off,
and low midyng 60 points off
middling,” they said. e 3
