The supr ply of available men qualified for er the work is limited, and the appliia cations now in hand are being filed ts with difficulty, for Director W. M. ic Long and Mr. E. C. Seifert, Specialn, ist in Cotton Grading for the Exten- ~ :w sion Service and the Bureau of Mar- r kets, are determined to place only ed well qualified men who are thorid oughly competent and reliable. Men ~ ne not well fitted for the work, they er say, would do the cause more harm ds than good. Consequently it is announced that it is not desired to ve consider further applications from to counties for official graders. \ ilth Shuns A w i n i. nrr\ nn j raw a Jrtigry reit klu lk' ese Sanitah Interest But If 1 s Will Feel That We Haveou Will Draw Compound Ii Sleep.
