Code Of Practices For Cotton Seed Oil Industry COLUMBIA, Aug. 14.—A Code of Trad 0 Praet ces fo: 1 tho cotton seed oil industry which would tend to in- inire publicity for seed prices and thus prevent unfair discrimination in prices, which has been working a hardship on both the oil mills and the farmers by permitting both tr* suffer at the hands of middlemen and speculators, is being considered fol lowing a trades practice cctafeifence held at Memphis by the Federal Trade Commiss on with Commission er Edgar A. , McCulloch presiding, Christie Benpt, general counsel of the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers Association, said today. There were approximately 160 repitesentat'ves of the oil mill indus try from fifteen stales at the confer ence, which was called at the request of the Interstate Cotton Seed Crush ers Association, Mr. Benet said, and the code is designed to insure fair treatment alike for the oil mills, who a:'2 the manufacturers, the farmers, who are the proiucers, and the con suming public. The cotton seed industry has suf fered in the past, Mr. Benet said, through the lack of publicity regard ing prices being paid and threhigh the lack of a system of grading. The Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers As sociation has been at work for sev eral years attempting to. find a solu tion for both of these needs. Carry ing out its policy of working in the closest co-operation at all times with givernmental agencies it, several years ago, asked the department of agriculture to co-operate with it in its effort to evolve a system o e grad ing. Recently it asked the Federal Trade Commission to advise with it and assist in the preparation of code practices which would protect the three great interests involved, the manufacturer, the farmer and the consuming pubi c. “The cotton seed oil mill indus try,” says a resolution adopted at the Memphis conference, “believes that the oil mills, as the agency which buys the cotton seed and manufac tures it into products of great value to mankind, fill a necessary and proper function in rclat on to a basic agricultural product, and are entit led to a fair return for such services. They owe a duty alike to the farmer who produces the seed and to the consuming public which buys the products thereof. That duty includes the obligation to *pay a fair price for the raw’ material, to deal fairly with labor, to manufacture efficient ly, to eliminate waste, to sell the products at a fair price, to develop new uses, to approve and encourage sound and fair trade practices and to condemn and prevent unfair trade practices. In order to perform that duty it is advisable to encourage proper and ethical principles in the industry, to the end that competi tion may be open and constructive and not secret and destructive.” The Memphis conference was pro nounced one C'f the best on trades practices that has been held in the country and there was evident, Mr. Benet said, a genuine desire on the part of the representative of the in dustry to insure the fullest protec- t on for the three interests that are invf.'ved, the manufacturer, the far mer and the consumer. jXt Happy Stages Of Life The passage from youth to middle age, thence to old age is commonly v'ewrd as one of life’s tragedies. Why? In most cases it is assumed that youth is the happiest time c.f life and that the exuberance of the adolescent period can not be attain ed ; n after life. Strictly speaking, this is true. But the fact that youthful exuberance is mainly physi cal, while that which may come in later years is cf a mental nature is often lost sight of. However, most men and women will find, f they give the matter sober thought, that they are much happier at thirty-five, footy-five or s ; xty than they were at fifteen, twenty or thirty-five. Reviews c.f their lives based on realism rather than sentimentality will convince them that all genuine happiness did not cease for them af ter they made their first dollars or acquired their f’rst beaus. In truth, the happiness cf youth is often moi'e than balanced by its unhappiness. Few persons would, if the oppor tunity were miraculously offered them, care to go through the trials and blunders of adolescence of young manhood or womanhood a second time. The man or woman of middle age or old age will recall that the lessons of life were not laarned with out major tribulations. Why envy the young people who hare yet to encounter this unpleas antness ? Seening Is Believing (A. C. L. Railway Bulletin ) The agricultu: al products of the territory served by the Atlantic Coast Line are so numerous and so varied that relatively few peopl" have any adequate conception of them. A list of them surprises eve. those familiar with the section, and seems totally unbel'evable to resi dents e»f other less favored parts of the country. Working c'n the theory that “see ing is believing” the Atlantic Coast Line in its effort to attract new farm ers into its territory, has complete: arrangements to show an exhibit of agricultural products of the States it serves at a number of the more Im portant fairs in the East this sum mer. The work of assembling the exhibit has been in prc'gress for more than a year, during which time the agri cultural agents of the Coast Line have visited every corner of the Southeast collecting material and in formation. No expense c*r pains have been spared and it is believed that for its size the exhibit is as complete, accu rate and reliable a showing of the products of the sections served by the Coast Line as has ever been as sembled. In addition to the u~ual standard crops such as cottdn, corn and tobac co the exhibits include all the many fruits and vegetables produced in Coast Line territory, small grains and ■forage crops, sweet potatoes, pecans, peanuts, sugar cane, flower ing bulbs, cottonseed o l products, tung oil, peanut products, honey, preserved fruits and jellies. There will also be samples of clays and other minerals found along Coast Line .rails, and of the many different woods native of the Southeast. In short, the exhibit is designed to give farmers who see it concrete evi dence of what the Southeast can produce, and the advantages it has over other sectiois that have more severe climate and less feitile soils. The exhibit will start north on Au gust 8th, and will be shown in. New England and New York durng the late summer and early fall. Among) the fairs where it will be seen aro the Eastern States Exposition at Spring- field, Mass., the Connecticut State Fair at Hartford, Cc*nn., the New England •Fair at Worcester, Mass., and the Twin State Fai:‘ at Vermont and New Hampshire at W’hite River Junction, Vermont. Each of these fairs has a very large attendance, and the presence of the exhibit will insure that it will be seen by many thousands of practical farmers. The activities of the Atlantic Coast Line are not confined to an at tempt to bring n ew farmers into its territory. Th:fe>jgh its Agricultural Department it offers pr&ctical as sistance to farmers along its rails, and weeks in close co-operation with the Extension Services of the differ ent States in securing the adoption of methods that have been found to be successful ard profitable. Its Tvestock and poultry experts help farmers market their poultry, hogs and other products and give practical assistance in selecting de sirable animals as the foundation ft*.* successful herds. The work that is being done by the Coast Line is in keep'ng with the policy, established many years ago, cf giving practical assistance in es tablishing successful methods cf ag- liculture and cf mainta’ning trans portation service that will enable th»2 profitable marketing of farm products. txx Seeding Red Clover Growth in the Christian Life By REV. A. H. LEAMAN Host, Moody Dible Institute. Chicago. 4 .a TEXT—But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our I.ord and Saviour Jesus Christ.—II Peter 3:18. The Apostle Peter, writing to the Christian churches, not only presented the doctrine of salvation but also was anxious that believers should grow and develop in the Christian life. If the fol- Rev. A. H. Lcaman. Seeding red clover in late summer or early fall is recommended where- ever expeuienc*? has not shown this | to be impracticable, unless anthrac-; nose-resistar.t seed is used. Anthrac-; nose is less serious on clover seeded in tho late summer than on that seeded in the spring because while red clover thrives in cool weather, anthracncoe dees not. In many parts of the country the best stands cf' red clover are pieoumd by serdinr in August or September without a nurse crop, especially on thin la ml Whether or not this method vi 1 succeed In a particular sectior how ever, can be determined only bv 1 i 'o Where- land will produce 40 bushels er more of corn to the acre stands may be obtained fiom spring seeding, but on land producing less than this, clover seeded alone in the early fall makes a better stand apa’*t from the danger of anthracnose With August seeding, where this is practicable, a reasonably good hay crop may be expected from imported seed, and if the season is favorable or the seed used was produced in the Last, a second growth may develop An argument is like gambling— Never try it unless y^u can afford to lose. •• W «... A-t.-- u the bearing of fruit. The first ele ment is getting started right. The farmer in preparing the soil has in mind Llie interest of the seed. He is happy if the seed has a good start. So it is with the Christian; much de pends upon a right start. Some parents feel that tiie important thing fci their children is to start them well financially or socially. Others have felt that if their daughters can dance well, they have successfully started them in life. The Apostle Peter says that growing in grace is the starting point. The second element Is a knowledge of the Bible. In I Peter 2:2 the apostle indicates this element when he said, “As. newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.” The Apostle Paul likewise admon ished Timothy: “Study to shew thy self approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to he ashamed, right ly dividing the word of truth." One of the weaknesses of our day is the lack ot Bible study. In the early colonies the Bible filled a great place in the home, the school, and the church. It was the Book of the young and tho old. The pioneer settler of the early days was a man of one book, and that hook was the Bible. Today it is questioned rather than studied. Pulpit and press sire lamenting the fact thsit the Word of God Is not studied. The Pilgrim Fathers started right. They often quoted: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away." The lib erty. prosperity and blessing we are enjoying today are insured to us large ly because the early fathers feared God, studied the Word and endeav ored to live according to its teachings. The third element is prayer. Oce feels like treading softly when ap proaching this great subject. There is a line of teaching given us by Jesus in the sixth chapter of Matthew directing us in the matter of how to pray, and for what to pray. The Mas ter precedes the Lord’s Prayer by say ing. “When thou prayest. enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which Is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” In lids verse we have the element of time—“When thou prayest.” Some time ago 1 was entertained in the home of a Christian minister who was pastor of a rural church and lived on a farm At the close of the evening meal he asked me to accompany him to the barn. I was rather surprised by the invitation, for it was too dark for him to show me any new ma chinery. or any kind of stock. He It^d me to a spot just inside the door and said. “This is whore I retire every evening for a time of fellowship alone." He. had found a time for prayer. Later I saw him in a con vention preaching to more titan a thousand listeners. A hush fell over that audience when the Spirit of God was manifested in great power. “Enter into thy closet.” John G. Patton, the great missionary to the New Hebrides, attributes his early start in the Christian life to an act of his father in the house where he was raised. His father built a little room and called it a prayer closet. Patton said when his father came out of that room his face looked like the very face of Christ. “When thou hast shut the door,” im plies privacy. More things have been accomplished for God and the kingdom by secret prayer than the world knows of. Great revivals have sometimes swept over a country because of some child of God holding ol in secret prayer. “Thy father which seeth in secret” —this is the assurance that God’s presence may be experienced. “Shall reward thee openly”—here is promise of a reward to the man who grows in grace through the exercise of prayer. Let us pray as God would have us pray, and much will be accomplished. Another element is confessing Him to men. “Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.” The Apostle Paul counted it a privilege to confess his Lord. Stephen, the first martyr, was] ever ready to witness before men, J though it cost him his life to do so. It is not only our duty to confess our Lord before men, but it is a privilege as well. Christ is worthy of al-honor that we may bring to His name, be cause of the great salvation wrought on Calvary.
