Apartment advises on COTTON SITUATION. Vlmu*. Ga., Not. 27.—(Special)— ti ' S[ . lte Bureau of -Markets of the Deirtment of Agriculture r° , issued the following state relative to the cotton situation, will be of interest to Georgia farmers generally. ..The State Bureau of Markets of •he Department of Agriculture desires call the attention of the farmers of Borgia to the unusual conditions # . hich have developed in the cotton market, following the action of the government food administration, jn regulating supplies held by buyers sad mill men, “The principal government regula tion which, it is said, has been used bv those interested to bring about the downward tendency in the price of cotton seed, is an order directed by the food administration bureau to mills and buyers, prohibiting them from having on hand at one time more than 60 days supplies, or just •enough 'to keep them going for 52 working days. ■•The natural result of this order is that those mills which have on haaid all <he supplies they are allowed to carry, are temporarily out of the market, and the price has been af fected accordingly. “It should be clearly and distinctly understood, however, that the govern ment has in no sense .sought to regu late either supply or price of seed in the hands of the producer; and the j farmer who lias seed of his own pro duction. regardless of where he has it stored, may hold it just as long as he wishes, without fear of government interference. It is only necessary that he shall have produced the seed himself, and that title to it shall rest in him. ‘•if there is seed enough in the bands of the farmers, and it should be held until the amount allow-ed the crushers is consumed, when they would have to go back into the market, it is reasonable to assume that with competition in the open market thus restored, the price will return to what it should be. “It is impossible, of course, for any one to tell what manipulators, taking advantage of the least opportunity that may be offered them, will be able to do with the market; but it is and always has been the opinion of Do You Want the Bartow County Fair To CONTINUE? The directors of the Fair, and the heads of the var ious departments, have worked hard and faithfully for four years to make the fair a success, and so far as the fair has beenconcerned-asa fair-IT HAS BEEN A SUCCESS. People who know, say the Bartow County Fair puts on more attractions for the prices charged than any other fair in the south; and yet— With the exception of the first year, the manage ment has had to finance a deficit at the close of each fair. Which Means- -that the fair has not been properly patronized to pay the cost of putting it on. Which Means— that the people of our county have not attended and supported the fair as they should have done. And this means and leads the management to say: If the people of this county don’t want the fair to continue, then the management will take speedy steps to wind it up,-and there will be no FAIR next year. this bureau that the price of cotton seed should be maintained on pnacUc ally the same parity with hog lard. Before the war began and since cot ton seed oil has sold at about 2 cents a pound under hog lard, and has steadily maintained that position now it is selling at 8 cents a pound less than hog lard, and the differ ence is too great. It is dear, as we see it, that cotton seed products are not bringing enough, and in our opin ion the crushers should uphold the price of their own products, rather than to permit inroads to be made upon that of the farmer’s product. "The bureau presents the foregoin*. simply as a statement of facts con cerning certain phases of the situa tion, and trusts that the farmers of Georgia will be able to profit by it.” In memory and honor of a beloved Friend and Comrade, Mr. John Lewis, of Cartersville. When news came to me a few days ago that Mr. had died suddenly at his home in Cartersville, i was made to feel sad. He felt very near to me. He was the last one with me at the surrender of the war, after the last guns were fired. We belonged to the Bth Georgia Bat., Company A. and was in much hard fighting. Much could be said of his trueness as a soldier. We stacked our guns at Greensboro. X. C„ and taken up a long march for home in Bartow County to be with our loved ones and sweethearts. There is nothing so great as i*eace and love. Brother Lewis was a true citizen always meeting all of his duties and; ob ligations, as well as hie friends- with the same modest, gentle smile. A true soldier, a good citizen, a success, leaving a good inheritance. I deeply sympathize with his loved one in the loss of such a cherished one. May God bless all that was near and dear to our beloved comrade and friend. May tfaeli bereaved children lead a beautiful Christian life as their father did, so when the Lord sees fit to call ycu, where he is you may be also. A Brother Comrade, T. J. Bell, Adairsville, Ga.
