ANSWER DOESN'T SATISFY Bfirmee Says Information Furniahed is Not Sufficient?to Introduce Bill. Washington, Aug. 16.?In the interest of all parties concerned, but more especially to determine whether ootton manufacturers are earning more from the spinning of raw cotton than is justified under present high price conditions Representative BymA, J South Carolina, who, a day am two ago offered a resolution calling upon the federal trade commission for data on this line, said that the information given him A!U astiofftrtni"w mc far M it. Willi was not sufficient __ It is shown in the figures supplied ~ Mm- what it costs the cotton mills to make the different kinds of cloth, but there is nothing to show what they get from it, aid it is the net return, after other expenses are met, that Mr. Byrnes wished to secure. "I am going to introduce a hill" Mr. Byrnes slid, "calling for the enactment of a law which will com pell the federal trade commission to publish quarterly an itemised statement from all cotton mills. This will show what the mills paid for raw cotton, what they paid their selling agent, the cost of mill help, and, finally, what they received for the finished goods. It will show in detail, how much the mill help received, and what others received, and from this will be determined whether theie is fair play all around or whether under present circumstances warrant, wheti^ it is the middleman or some one who is profiteering. o Timely Farm Hints .< ???. r The business farmer who has a checking account at the bank will save enough money by not having to bupr money orders, when he wishes to order an article by mail, to make the account profitable. The corn is now low in the crib and most of the grain oat of the bins, so it is a good time to go after the rats. Fight them with traps, poisons, and all ether methods. It is also a good time to think about making these buildings permanently proof against these rodents. Now that the screen doors are up?do they screen? Many screens are only nominal, because they do not fit and it is no trouble at all for the flies to find a way to get in. The judicious use of a few carpenter's tools will often make misfitting screens absolutely fly-proof. Use the mower on the pasture to keep the weeds down, as well as the mattock and brier scythe to keep down the briers and bushes. Some shade trees in t' e pasture are excellent, but smal. shrubs and brier thickets simply rob the cattle of food they ought to have. Wild plum thickets are another very annoying thing and may be classed as robbers.?
