LEE MORRIS ‘THE DAYLIGHT CORNER” Corner Broad and Jackson Streets ' By J .W. FIROR County Farm Agent During tha last ten days, 1 have been traveling’over the main roads of JeffersoTi, Burke and Glasscock counties. I remember rather din- tinctiy similar trips made during the fal lof 1914 and again the fall of 1914 and again in-the tall of of 1919. Looking back to 1,914 I re member that practically every farm was cultivated to tho limit unc ♦ V-» n.-ron'harn fhori» WOrO mani fl.ld, pi "rn-'wly cleared land In which thp dead trees .till atood Traveling along moat any road anti find that field after field warn plant ed in cotton. It watt not unu.ua to ace fields late In the full of 1914 from which not a single hound of cotton had been picked. The pro duction of colt* per acre war good and the acreage wat exceed- ingly large. The ptekIM of the cotton was the greatest limiting factor in cotton production at that time a farmer could cultivate much more cotton than his family could pick, some .of the cotton remained In the fields, unpicked after the holidays. In the towns of this section, as fast ns the gins mndb up the bales, the cotton was stored In the ware houses. which soon became packed and ns there was no ready markel for cotton In the fall of 1914 it war plied on the streets of tho towns In most any town, along toward winter, It wad possible to climber**- to a bale of cotton tno*t,anywh< in the business sections of t towns and walk all over the main streets by stepping from bale bale. • The year 1919 was another gooe cotton year In this section. . Al though the price was high, mud of the cotton .was again plied on th* streets as It was thought by mnnj that the price would get, still bet^ ter Inter in he season. During the period from 1914 tc 1919, there were no cash crop* raised other than cotton; and fur thermore, most of tho feed stufff and food used were shipped lnt* the section. Also values advanced rapidly and farm# that changed hands were constantly selling fo) higher and higher prices. The la market had also becomo r highly competitive one.' Cropped and tenants were In active demand each year saw larger induce- »n»« K<»iy.» rr.zic to set cropper; and laborers. OPERATED F THE TOWNS FROM There are through this sectlof (and this'condition has existed for mnny years) many large planta tions—moat of which are operated from tho towns throughout the section. The owners qnd controll ing factors in most cases lived in those towns and /were connected j P°wer. with the businesses of the towns A * n such aa warehousing, merchandis ing, cotton buying and banking. I have been reminded forcefulij of nil this by certain contrasting changes noticed when traveling . through this section this fall, j shall not mnke any attempt to give ■ reasons why these changes hnyr come about but Instead wll Hr} nad so t down certain things whlct seem to be common factors or gen ’era! to the present farming sltua* tlon aero. T notice that there la a consider able percentage of land lying out That there is considerable less, acreage In cotton. Furthermore th* plantings are spotted. Around a few towns, the acreage in cot’ ton is still large in relation to th* total amount of plow land. Ther* in nq cotton piled pu *on tht Htreots. Thje smaller banks in sozrfr of the towns nre no longe operating. Some store building* are also closed. In some communi ties for several miles along the road, field after field has been ->lant*d in Spanish peanuts. Ii. most communities there seems i. bo almost enough corn and hay t* ford the work stock nnd cattle. Ir some places considerable fencing has been accomplished. In othei communities, one sees the starting of some new farming Industry. Ilk* dow berry production. Severn farms have been turned Into dairy* which business has not been alto gether successful. (To Bs Continued) f r Legion Head Outlines Plan 1 Of Legislation By ALVVIN OWSLEY National Commander, American Legion INDIANAPOLIS—The American Legion will present to the next Congress n program of legislation formulated to obtain Justice for those who fought In the World War nnd to sflmulnto a spirit of Patriotism and higher dtlxenship In this country. The legion's first Interest fs the welfare of disabled \feternns of the great way. We shall ask fo» legislation amending the Wnr Risk Insurance act to extend the scop' of hospitalisation nnd.rehabilitation to thousands of sick nnd wounded comrades who are unable to ob tain .relief under the provisos of tho Sweet bill, nnd that Congresr consider thoroughly thp report of the senatorial committee named tc investigate the Veterans* Bureau. The legion will urge that nfd br extended only to those veteranr who deserve nssistnnce. Adjusted compensation for all war fighters will be pushed by thr legion nnd there in very little doubt that It will be granted In the next session of Ccngrcss. It Is our plan to minimise the cash option of compensation and to nlaee special emphasis upon th* land settlement and farm aid fea tures. If thousands of virile and ener getic veterans could be Induced to go back to tho tifad. America would prosper from an Increase 1n pro duction. whereas today there are vast areas of land uncultivated bo. cause of an actual shortage of man 'League of Nath Investigating this question.

Intelligent selection of immi grants in their native lands nnd as sistance to them in establishing themselves In America will be- commended ns future policies fol lowing the end of the period of ex clusion. The legion feels that the un- Americanised colonies of foreign ers serve ns centers for the acti vities of Communists and Bolshe vists and that the Interests of th* country will be best conserved by restricting the flood of alien hordes from Europe. * COLONIAL THEATER-ALL WEEK Commencing Monday Night, Sept, 17 THE (jRiAl FAYSSOUX and COMPANY America’s Foremost Exponents of Hypnotism and Mental Telepathy.
