India, and the South Ameri can countries," Hamilton' said. Atkinson presented the other view when he dc>clared: *‘We believe the policy of control has operated ajrainst the very objects we have .strived to olitain. Unless we conserve our foreiprn markets, it will dislocate a larjre percentaffe of our cotton farmers.” He said the srroup soujrht through a subsidy for cotton sold on foreijfn markets to provide a« “permanent remisly." “It is not an effort to furnish for- eijrn markets wkh i«_ ^heap product,” he said, “but an effort to maintain! Part Two The next item to consider is color harmony. There are three general types: 1. Shades *of the same color. vJosily relate colors.' " 3. Contrasting colors. , In any color combination there should be one dominant tone. In ar ranging flowers of several colors in tones a much better effect is ob tained by holding each color togeth er in an interesting mass rather than dotting it about hit-or-miss among other tones. Spotty colors are dis tracting to the eye. Combinations of C'llors well planned are more dis tinctive than are color arrangements. The darkest colors .should be kept neare.st the center of the arrange ment, and. the lighter colors on the outside.H. The next thing to consider is bal ance.

Never use an untra- modern cloth for old china, pewter or glass containers. A damask, linen or lace cloth demands fine china, porcelain or glass, and flowers to match.

Producers of Cotton Only Persons to Receive Subsidy The county agent’s office has re ceived instructions on subsidy of cot ton stating that the person producing same is the person to receive the subsidy. Cotton paid as standing i^Fnt -oriis'mb'IhlfiiTImenl on pareSaise sheets, of course, are not recorded in the county agent’s office and it would be well for their names to be either turned in to the county agent’s of fice or to their nearest community committeeman.

Don’t have s{)ray or flowers that stray far out from the composition. If the flowers have varying col ors, then, place the darker ones near the center. If the flowers are of the same color, place the larger flowers in the center. When all the flowers are light and feathery, thicken the arrangement by having more flowers in the center. If you have "weight high on one side, balance it with low weight on the other side, ('ut away all leaves on flowers that crowd the arrangement. It is far better to A word ahpuUfruits as dworations.
