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. PLOW HANDLES. 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.

Real genuine relief from eczema, tetter, scaly eruptions or any other 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 Catarrhs!

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.
