The Fourth Liberty Loan.
Tht* campaign for tiie Fourth
Liberty Loan begins September
28 and closes October 19. While
the amount has not yet been an
nounced, it is generally conceded
it will l*» for a larger amount
than any of the preceding loans.
The American people, therefore,
are called upon to raise a larger
sum of money in a shorter length
of time than ever before. There
is need, therefore, for prompt
action—prompt and elficient work
and prompt and liberal subscrip
tions.
We have a great inspiration for
a great effort. The news from
the battle front inspires every
American heart, not only with
pride and patriotism but with a
great incentive to do his or her
part. There is no shirking, no
shifting of the individual burden,
no selfishness by American sol
diers in France; there should be
none here. We are both support
ing the same country and the
same cause—our Army in one
way, ourselves in another. Theirs
is the harder part, but at least j
we can do our part as promptly
and loyally and efficiently as they
do theirs.

Should Hold Cotton
Seed for Better Price.
Atlanta, Ga., September 2. — 1
That the producer should not sell
his cotton seed for less S7O per
ton, is the advice given by Presi
dent J. J. Brown and Secretary
L. B. Jackson of the Cotton
States Official Advisory Market
ing Board, who have just return
ed from Washington where the
Board was in Conference with
the Federal Food Administration,
the lard compound manufacturers
and the oil crushers.
At this conference a price of
S7O per ton for seed yielding 41
gallons of oil was agreed upon
and submitted to the food Admin
istration. Food Administrator
Hoover now has the matter un
der consideration and, it is con
fidently believed will adopt and
announce it within the next few j
days.
Georgia seed is even richer in |
oil than the standard, and it is i
believed it will bring from S7O to
$75 per ton in carload lots.
The Cotton States Marketing!
Board had no easy time in bring-1
ing about this result under pres
ent conditions, when seed have 1
been selling in Georgia at $55 and
in Texas as low as SSO - prices
however, which are far below the
true value.
One of the difficulties was the
presence in the country of large
quantities of Soy Bean Oil and
Cocoanut Oil, which had been
allowed to come in and to com
pete with cotton seed oil, with
the result that there were large
stocks of cotton seed oil accumu- i
lated.
The food administration is also 1
continuing its restrictions and
regulations regarding the time
for which cotton seed products j
and regulations regarding thej
time for which cotton seed prod-1
nets and cotton seed may be held;
so that if these products con
tinued subject to these regula- 1
tions, and their price was not
stabilized by food administration
action, it would have meant the
lard compound men who use
about 95 per cent of the cotton

seed oil. would have taken the
output at practically their own
price.
It was the original idea of
Administrator Hoover to leave
conditions in this situation, and
permit cotton seed and its prod
-1 ucts to go as low as they would
in the market.
i The lard compound manufac
turers, however, stated they
would be willing to take cotton
seed oil at the same price as last
year.
Further, it was shown to the
food administration that cotton
seed meal at present prices is the
cheapest ammoniate fertilizer
on the market. It was also
shown that by comporison with)
corn and other grains, it is the
cheapest feed on the market.
The peril of failure to stabilize
the price of cotton seed and its
products, which would have left [
it in open competition with the
aforementioned foreign oils, pro
duced by cheap Asiatic labor, had
to be met, and it required some
forceful presentation to bring it
about.
The price of S7O per ton for
seed producing 41 gallons of oil,
as recommended to the food ad
ministration at the conference, is
i within 10 cents per ton of the
I average price for cotton seed last
season. Georgia’s oil yield is in
excess of this. Food administra
tion action is expected in a few
days, and, as a result, Georgia
■ producers, it is confidently be
lieved will get even a better aver
jage price for their seed.
