LITTLE COTTON AND
LESS GUANO URGED
MR. SMITH POINTS OUT DIF.
FERENCE IN PRICE OF COT
TON AND OTHER COMMODI
TIES. PLANT FOOD CROPS
With all the financial depression
and the low price of cotton we have
already got a whiff of the breath of
coming spring time. The jonquils
in the flower beds are upholding
their petals and offering their fra
grance to the world. The blue bird
is sounding his beautiful note, the
bobolink is hovering over the low
spots and the turtle dove is cooing
for his mate. All of these show that
new life is soon to break upon the
world.
The farmer is now busy getting
his plow gear and plow stocks to
gether preparatory to making anoth
er crop and in examining his weed
ing hoes he finds they are so worn
he finds he will have to buy a few
more to make a crop, and vihen he
goes to his merchant he finds the
bottom out of the cotton market
and steel as high as when cotton was
40 cents a pound. And when he
buys a piece of leather to half sole
his shoes what does he find? He
finds this ridiculous spectacle: He
can’t hardly give a green cow hide
away, but he finds leather one dol
lar a pound. Yes, he finds leather
as high as it was when cotton was
40 cents a pound. And last Decem
ber when his store account was due
he found if he bought a pair of
hoes that cost $lB that it took a
ton of cotton seed to pay for them,
and it v.as also revealed to him
along about ‘that time that cotton
seed hulls were selling for sl9 per
ton and cotton seed was selling foi
sl9 per ton.
And at the present, time as we
figure with our guano dealer we find
that fertilizer is practically as high
as it was when cotton was 40 cents
per pound. Now, in view of all these
facts that stand out as bold as a
mountain that looks out over a
laughing valley, the question is this,
is there a farmer in all the cotton
belt who has got sense enough to
get out of a shower of rain who v. 11
go blindly into making another big
cotton crop? If there is we pray
the good Lord to have Mercy on
him.
Now here is the conclusion o f the
whole matter. Let’s cut our cotton
acreage to 7 acres to the plow and
cut the guano bill in proportion,
secure our creditors in every way
we can and throw up our hands to
them and the world and scream for
mercy, and then ask congress to
open up a way for our cotton to
find a market into Germany and all
the other countries that are desti
tute of cotton.
Brethren, somebody or some set
of men is responsible for this awful
state of things that now exist in this
present commercial life, and v.-> are
often made to wonder will some
folks in the world in their mad rush
for money ever get forgiveness for
their meanness.

FORD BETTERS
RAILROAD EARNINGS
Inspects 454 Mile* of Track in
Automobile
During its first month under Ford
control, September, the Detroit, To
ledo & Ironton Railroad increased
its gross earnings more than 20 per
cent over any previous month. Oc
tober, 1919, the next best month,
shov.jd gross earnings of $430,830,
whereas September, 1920, brought
forth $564,492, un increase of over
$133,000. The fact that the road
was taken over by Henry Ford on
September Ist makes this particu
lniy noteworthy.
Mr. Ford plans first to put the D.
T. & I. in order to assure Detroit of
a coal supply the year around. But
he has a much broader view of the
future activities of the road than
merely supplying fuel and materials
to his own factories. He expects to
use it for the development of the
country which the road traverses.
In order to complete his plans by
which solid coal trains may be run
continuously, he made a personal
nspection of all the grades and
bridges over the 454 miles of main
track. In his automobile, he tra
versed a considerable length of the
line, visiting the towns along its
route. He made a special point of
visiting the roundhouses and shops,
rnd conversing with the mechanics.
He went out with repair gangs and
'very unit of the road's motive pow
<r. He made decisions about rails,
new shops, and loading points even
before the deal was concluded.
Completely convinced that the D.
T. & I. is able to supply Detroit and
Michigan with fuel, Henry Ford
made all his plans with this in mind.

Skin Sufferers Do Not

Of course, if you are content to
have only temporary relief from
the terrifying itching and -urmng
of fiery, flaming skm diseases, then
you are satisfied to remain a slave
to ointments, lotions and other lo
cal remedies applied to the surface
of the skin.
Real genuine relief from eczema,

form of skin irritations cannot be
expected until you free your blood
of the germs which cause these
disorders. And for this purpose
COTTON ACREAGE TO
BE REDUCED ONE-HALF
THEODORE PRICE, AUTHORITY
ON COTTON, SAYS STAPLE
HAS GONE ABOUT AS LOW AS
IT WILL FOR PRESENT
New York. —The cotton acreage
throughout the world is to be re
duced an average of 50 per cent
next season, if present plans are
carried out, it was learned today.
Confronted by falling prices and
an enormous surplus, American
planters expect decreased acreage of
20 to 25 per cent. The Egyptian
acreage has been reduced 66 per
cent, and a substantial cut has been
made in the East Indies.
Prices, however, “are ♦ about as
low as they will go for the present,”
in opinion of Theodore H. Price,
editor of Commerce and Finance and
an authority on cotton.
“Raw cotton, particularly the low
grades, ig selling now far below
cost of production,” he said today.
“Radical curtailment of aereag*e
next year is almost certain, The
surplus of American crop remaining
unsold at the end of the present
season will be more or less hypo
thetical in that while there will be
no doubt of its existence it will not
be pressed for sale.”
Mr. Price referred to the fact that
the hypothetical surplus in 1914-15
when the world’s markets were gen
erally closed by the war, was fully

the diseased portion ot the ear Thera la
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness
and that is by a constitutional remedy
HALL'S CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
of the System. Catarrhal Deafness Is
caused by an Inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re
duced and this tv.be restored to Its nor

forever. Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, which is an inflamed

as large as that in prospect now,
and added that “many of the great
est bull price cuts in cotton
had their inception in bearish coni
ditions that were quite as inauspi
ous as the statistical situation to
day.”
Regarding the present situation
in the south, where farmers are
withholding their gottbn, Mr. Price
said:
“No reason, either ethical or eco- •
nomic, can be urged against the
right of the farmer to hold back
the product of his labor if it is be
low the cost of productiori. As to
the farmers financial ability to do
this—many of them prospered sub
stantially during the vwr; they in
vested their profits in property per
manently productive; their
of credit, if not actual money, , is
much greater than it was six or sev
en years ago.

Before the present muddle
is cleared up the labor ques
tion has got to be settled once and
for all. Railroads are losing money,
but are not allowed to reduce the
pay of their employees. Due to this
cause the A. B. &A. railroad has
been placed in the hands of a re
ceiver. Railroad rates, both passen-,

for the good of the country.
