September Garden Demands Attention Clemoon College, Sept. i>.?Septet* ber is no unimpprtant season in good gardening, say extension horticulturists, making those suggestions: It pays well to keep all the garden crops growing. Don't let them become stunted for latk of sufficient fuod. .Nitrogen is the most needed food for the garden crops, and nn abundant and readily uvuilable supply should* he on hand at all times. Nearly always the garden crop, can be much benefitted by an appli ation of sulphate of ammonia or nitrate of soda. Scatter it three or live in hes from the base of the plant, and cover with a shallow cultivation. Cultivate and clean up ground where vegetables have matured. Decaying vegetables and vegetable , plants are likely to increase disease and insect damage next season. Parsnips, salsify, carrots and fall beets can be .wintered where grown und dug as needed. l^ater in the season when the weather is colder, a light furrow to cover them will be necessary, especially for the boets and carrots. . Keep the strawberry bed free of weeds and grass, and select your best plants at this time. Transplant a few f-ows during September, but do not risk the bulk of your planting before cooler weather. If you are growing your own cabbage plants for early spring settings, sow seed the last of September or early October. Gather the mature Lima beans every week and store them away for winter use. Vegetable ^eed left over from the spring planting may be used in the fall to save cash outlay. % ' ?. <v Club Notes September is a very busy month for all home demonstration club women.

Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt S. Trapp. Farmers Are . Compelled To Sell Washington, Aug. ^.?Announcement was made today by Governor Henry Morgenthau, Jr., of the Farm Credit .Administration, that southern farmers who huve borrowed money from tho Crop Production Ia>an Office of the Administration will not be compelled to sell their cotton to pay off the loans when they become duo on October 31, 11)33. Growers with crops pledged.ns security bach3^ the loans will bo given an opportunity^? turn their cotton over to cooperative marketing associations to be held and disposed of in an orderly fashion. Growers who are not members of cooperatives may place their cotton in a Federal bonded warehouse. This will make it possible for these farmers to market their cotton gradually* over a period of soveral months instead of being forced to sell a large baleage during a comparatively few weeks, u *: v. Mr. Mongenthau pointed out in his' announcement that the Farm Credit Administration will further assist cotton growers who have been granted crop production loans by making no claim to the seed that will come from the cotton at the time it is ginned. Instead, farmers will be allowed to use the proceeds from the sale of the cotton seed in paying their picking and ginning costs. If necessary, they may also receive an advance from the cooperative or warehouseman of one-half cent per pound on lint cotton, to aid in paying these costs. Whore their cotton is sold in the seed, the allowance for picking is not to exceed -10 cents per hundred pounds of seed cotton. During li?33 farmers, in States where cotton is grown,* were granted loans aggregating approximately $40,000.000, and most of this money was used in the production of cotton. Instructions have been sent by Mr. Morgenthau to the regional offices at St. Louis, Missouri; Memphis, Tennessee; Dallas, Texas; and Washington, D. ('., outlining the three plans that will be offered fanher-borrowers for the handling of the cotton. Tho plans are: First, is the immediate sale to local buyer, in which case the buyer should , be ireformed of the Government's lien against this cotton arnd requested to 1 Iraw check for the proceeds thereof.1 in favor of the Governor, Farm Credit I < Administration, and forward same di-ji rect to this office or hand it to our < iuthoriz4d field inspector. It mt*y be ' hat the buyer will insist that the i seller be named as joint pttyoe of this 1 hack. This is somewhat of a dis- < wlnantage,. but we will offer no ob- < eetion if the buyer insists on draw- t ng the chock in favor of the pro- i lucer and the Governor, Farm Credit t Administration. In this event, it will f jo necessary that the check be in- < lorsed by the producer and forwarded ' o thin office or handed to our field 1 -epre tentative. { The second method of handling the ' otton is storage in a Federal Bonded s vareh'iuse in anticipation of a better < nice. In case this method is chosyn, he warehouse- receipts therefor, show- i ng weight, grade and staple, should 1 c drawn in favor of the producer in<l by him indorsed over to the Gov- 'i rnor of the Farm Credit Adininis- 1 lation and tlw receipts forwarded to 1 bis office or handed to our author- i z?d field representative. In case f his method i* chosen, sufficient cot- < on must be stored at tho market * nice of the ottton on the date stored \ o cover the b?an and storage and i t:tturamte for* a six months' period. < The third method of handling is ( through the Cotton Cooperative Association of the state. This office endorses the principles of cooperative marketing and will be glad to see all borrowers become members of t-heir cooperative association. In shipping cotton to the association, the bill of lading or the warehouse receipts. should bear notation to the effect that1 the cotton is under lien o the Governor, Farm Credit- Admin- J stration. If the cotton is delivered :o the several cotton cooperative as- 1 iociationsr sufficient cotton must be' 1 ielivered to cover, the loan at the i narket price of cotton on the date daced with the association, plus j itorage and insurance for a six nonths*' period, membership dues, re- i ?ervo, overhead and transportation, if i otton is concentrated. All cotton stored must be stored ' n Federal Bonded Warehouses or i placed with the several cotton cooper- < itive associations and it must be sold 1 )'r the price fixed on or before April L,. 1934. During the period from maturity of the loan on October 31, 1933, intil April 1, 1934, the cotton may be 1 iold or the price fixed by the pro- 1 lucer, or, the Governor of the Farm ' Credit Administration may exercise 1 the authority given by the producer ji the application for the loan to sell | w fix at any time subsequent to , October 31, 1933. Buying Power MiiH-/ Now Be Built Up Mr. and Mrs. Consumer and the little Consumers aro the people who are going to win this War of the Depression. Horses have now almost disappeared from the scene?but the old saying is still true that "you can lead a horse to water but you. cannot make him drink.'' * Sontetimes the big business magnates and th^r allies ignore this old truth; they believe that if only enough pressure is used, any product can be unloaded, in unlimited quantities. They believe that Mr. and Mrs. Consumer and the little Consumers are half-wits who can be imposed upon without difficulty. But sometimes these schemers find that they have been "reckoning without their host," as another wise old saw put it, That is why the Pathfinder has insisted, and will continue to insist, thnt 'vtho consumers must be kept in mind every moment by those who are engineering our national recovery. It is a disappointing fact that buying on the part of the public has slowed up to such an extent that^it is now a serious problem how the purchasing power can be increased and the will to buy can be translated into actual buying. This buying has got to be on a scale large enough absorb the surplus products \ymch. are right now being produced oh our There is the greatest incentive it! the world for peqpl? to buy now, f0! it is well-nigh certain that prices' at J going up very materially. The "barH gain" clothes, etc., which have beeM so common everywhere will soon dis! appear, as a result of doing away! with sweatshop conditions, child la! bor and ruthless competition ancfl price-cutting. ? We need only glance back in th J Pathfinder of six or eight years ago! to see what, high prices mean. Boys! thought they could not wear shoes! costing less than $8 a pair. Work! shirts werq $1 and up and fancy! shirts $2 to $5. Men's suits were! advertised as ^bargains" at $25 and! up to $45. Neckties could hardly be! bought for less than $1.25. Women's! coats were priced from $18* for very! poor quality up to $G0 or more for! a good article. JVomen's silk stock*! ings were $1.50 up, and men's hose! 35 cents a pair and up. We notice many advertisements of| furniture ^bargains" at prices which! are at least three timos what prices! for similar articles file now. We all! know young couples who thought they! had to pay $200 to $400 for a set of! dining-room furniture. A poor bridgeH lamp was $20. Decent bed sheets! could not be had for less than and all other cpttorj textiles were sim.H ilarly high priced. Butter was 60S cents a pound and eggs GO cents al; dozen?and other foods in proportioR.B Some critics will at once argue thatl millions of people back in those yearsB did have to manage with goods whichB, cost less than these typical prices.H] That is always true, under any con-HI ditions?but it does not alter the factl that the great bulk of the consuming? publifc only a very few years *gol were keyed up to paying very high? | prices, and that they made very little? j kick about, it... \ I Conditions now are different. The? cheap goods are going to be rooted? out?at least that is the aim. There? is every reason in the world for? people to "loosen up' and buy. The?| Pathfinder is confident they will do?! it just as soon as they can begin to? see the "money. Money is now being? s released from the Treasury by the? j hundreds of millions of dollars. While j j this money seems a long time reach-? | ing the average family so thatvthey? j can buy the things they need, it is? J tn?und to reach them in time.?The?! Pathfinder. . Hi John M.
