She would be subject to the call
of doctors in the county and should
co-operate with such civic organiza-
tions as the Chamber of Commerce,
the Rotary and Lions clubs and oth-
er associations in matters affecting
public health.
On account of the ureat demand
for nurses to do this kind of work
vit!i the Red Cross, relief associa-
tions and public health services, it
may fee very hard to get a nurse
now. \firs. DeBarr pointed out, and
added that some delay in nrocurinir

Patterned After California
While the general organization is
patterned after those of California,
wher • they have been a tremendous
success provisions have been made to
take care of the cotton crop in a dif-
ferent manner to that of fruit, nuts
and like CalHornia produts.
A system of warehouses, where the
colli ii may be stored while waiting for
enough to be accumulated to secure
reduced freight rates, will eiiect a sav-
ing «>f many dollars in the so ('ailed
"c< untry wa<te." I'liese warehouses
will oe part of the association.
While the cost ot tiie middleman
now i-- 11 per cent of the sale price,
the asso iation gu arantees their mar-
keting price not to exceed •' per cent.
This saving will be effected hy dealing
directly with the spinner, made pos-
sible by the amount to he marketed.
Explains Local Situation
TI e Cleveland county situation is
very capably explained by X. I. Mc-
\li t« r. wh« > has carefully investigated.
\t the beginning of the year, the
local cotton buyer, who cuiit-os the
entire county, secures a classification
of prairie cotton. I hen the man who
brings in cotton from the hills re-
cto ts the prairie t itton price.
\nd the farmer who comes up from
the Canadian river bottoii , with cot-
ton which has a half inch longer sta-
ple, is forced to sell his cotton for the
same price as the man who grow- a
5-K inch staple. The buyer in this
manner realizes quite a bandy profit
i* the declaration of Mc A lister.
1 he association will pool the entire
output of the state i' Cordii.L: to length
of taple and also an a middling ba-i-.
mill which use that length staple.
