Tuesdaj night I got down to work again by at tending the regular meeting of th« Flower Lovers’ Club and while there was not a very large attendance, i' was an enjoyable meeting. We wen glad to have Mrs. Sloan with us again after so long an absence from Un in jury to her foot; «he is always so in- tercsted in'kverything that «he if greatly nlkwed when ailment. The Myrtle Point Garden Club has invited the members of our Club tc join them in an open air meeting next Tuesday evening, Aug. 8th, at “Friendly. Woods,” the home of Mr »nd Mrs. T. B. MacDonald at Arago. There is to be a potluck supper and each one is to bring a few sandwiches, a hot dish,, plate, cup, knife, fork and spoon. A committee was appointed to attend to transportation and food. Anyone wishing to go, call Mrs. J P. Beyers, 45-J, and she will make ar rangements. The best single »pike of glads wa? voted on for the cup last night and was won by Mrs. Z. C. Strang. Next time, Aug. 15th, the contest will range around the best single specimen of dahlias, any type and color and in any kind of a container. Quite a bit of‘fun centered around the drawing for a fine plant of beau tiful iris brought by Mrs. Beyer». Twc drawings were necessary and it* was finally carried off by Mr. Taylor. 1 Mr. Taylor gate a talk on Glads. Two specimens were used for illus tration, a tall spike of "Mrs. Leon Douglas'* and a couple of spikes of vhat is now called the "Baby” and dso “May flowering” glad. The lat ter, Mr. Taylor said, was like the first glad introduced into America from Capetown, Africa, in 1850, by a mis sionary. The first European hybrids nade their appearance in France and «ere introduced try Victor Lemoine, who has given to the world many fine flowers. Since returning home 1 have been working in my garden which has been tadly fieglected of late. 1 have made * discovery on ea*rwiga which may be of interest to the rest of.yoy. 1-SSt /»ar I did not have the pests, but •verybody around me did; this year I have <plenty. That is the way they spread. Another thing, they do not love moisture and cultivation. Where I have kept the ground more or less lamp'they are not to be found, but places where the plantings were so crowded that the ground was dry and fiard, I found plenty. So I am going to get busy, Anyone wanting to build a small pool or start a tub water garden, «hould read "Water Garden and Gold ish,” by Robert V. Sawyer and Ed win Perkins.

Mifacles are happening in these days. Two years ago when the____ Farm Board proposed that the cotton plant ers plow up every third row of cot ton, the idea was received with jeers Now the same thing is received with cheers. The difference is that under the “new deal” the planter is not asked to stand this loss himself but is to be repaid for it He is to be paid out of a fund of 8120.000,000 or so which will be raised by putting « tax of 4.2 cents on every pound of cotton which is in any way “pro cessed.” When Secretary of Agriculture Wallace was able to notify the coun try that the cotton curtailment plan was a success, it was a great day for the nation—especially the 1« states of the South which raise cotton, Cot- ton and wheat are the two great money crops of the United States; both were at the lowest points in his tory, and hence the government pick ed these staple industries to help first. t tIIow are the cotton farmers to get their khare of the money? About 700,000 of them have so far agreed to co-aperate, by destroying 25 to 50 per cent of their growing crop (es timated at 13,000,000bales this year.) They will destroy about 9,000,000 icres, which will cut the production >y about 3,500,000 bales. Thia seems ’ike a huge reduction, but there are : I ready nearly 11,000,000 bales held ¡ver from other year«. Planters are warned that they «hould not go ahead and plow up their •otton or otherwise destroy it until hey have r««ceived the formal O. K. **om Uncle Sam. The agreements all xve to be assembled at Washington, —¿mined and re-examined, jo make «ure they are in the proper form. The planters will receive notice through the county agents or others that their contract has been approved »nd will be told just how mudh acreage to destroy. After that, they will receive their 'ash payment for co-operating. The government will advance the money, and thus the planters will not have to wait until the tax is collected. Au thorised government agents will check back on the planter« from time to time «o as to make sure that the destruction has actually taken place. The planters are not to raise any crop on. the abandoned land which would interfere with the government plans. Borne of them talk of using the cotton for hay, as tests show that cotton hay is as good as alfalfa or better. About half the planter« decided that, instead of accepting cash pay ments, for their co-operation, they would take options on the 2,000,000 bales of cutton which were purchased and held off the market by thq Farm Board, which is now defunct They would be allowed to purchase this cot ton at six cents a pound, and as the price is now double that much, they can realise a fine profit. The consumption of cotton is now running more than double what It was last year. In fact there is a regular boom in the whole cotton textile busi ness—though there seems to bo some doubt whether all th« cotton goods ator of the agricultural adjustment plan, says that the prices of cotton goods have already risen an average of 30 per cent since March, and he hope« that retail prices will not be jumped eo fast that the consumers can’t find the money to pay the in creased rates. The new "code” is now in operation In the cotton industry. It was the first code to be put in force. Pres sure is being brought to bear to get the other industries lined up so that the movement can go forward along the entire front at the name time, but resistance is being met with in some quarters. The cotton code, as already outlined, establishes a maximum of a 40-hour work week, with a minimum wage of 812 a week in the South and 813 in the North. No worker will be per mitted to hold two jobs and thus in crease his wages. No machine can be operated more than a total of 80 hours in any week—namely two shifts of 40 hours each, and no workers shall be allowed to run an additional number of machines. Repair men and “outside” workers to be paid time and » half for any work beyond the maxi mum limit, and office help or "white collar workera” must share in tlhe in creased - wages. No children under -16 years old will be allowed to work. In pre-depress!on times nearly 1,- 000,000 persons were engaged in the cotton textile industries. This num ber has been down to 500,000 lately, but the new deal will mean the re employment of some 125,000 wage earners, it is figured. The cotton code includes such side lines as silk, rayon, thread, ete. The cotton plans as • whole are designed to cover the next two years. Action after that will de pend on the conditions which develop. -Pathfinder.
