Mr. W. C. Whitaker, president OF
Halifax county department OF South
ern Cotton Association, reports that
according to the best statistics he
can gather, the cotton acreage in Hall
fax county this year is 24!5 per cent,
and that the reduction in fertilizers
for cotton is more than % per cent.
This is a good showing for Halifax
county farmers in keeping the pledges
they made Tor reduction in acreage.
If the State of North Carolina and
the entire South have reduced acreage
accordingly, it will have great effect
on the cotton crop.
Perhaps by the time this reaches
the readers of THE COMMONWEALTH
about all Of the cotton crop will have
been planted, so there is no further
need to urge reduction for this season.
1t is not too late, however, to urge
farmers to plant corn enough to sup
ply home demands and to plant forage
crops sufficient to supply them with
forage for stock through the year.
With a reduction OF acreage the cot
ton crop will still be large, il seasons bt
good for the cotton crop has been
prepared for and will be cultivated OF
a more intensive plan. and the yield
per acre will be greater. So we need
not expect high price for cotton at
all.
Every bale of hay that is bought BY
the farmers gees to neutralize the prof
which he may make on his cotton
crop, and every bushel Of corn which
he buys also cuts down his profits.
The COMMONWEALTH congratulate
Halifax county farmers on the gooi
showing they have made in reducing
the cotton acreage and hopes to gel
them pursue the wise course OF max
ing home supplies.

WHEN BIRDS WILL
SUPER aEDE MEN

CHICAGO, March 19.-The human
race will be extinct on this earth in
the course of few million years, ac-
cording to Professor Samuel Williston,
professor of paleontology at the Uni
versity of Chicago. While lecturing
on the future of the earth's inhabit-
ants, Professor Williston declared
that, in his opinion, instead of men,
at this future date, which he told the
students would not come for something
like three million years, the earth will
be dominated by birds.
1T will only be a natural course of
events that will ultimately drive man
from the dominant sphere on EARTH"
said Professor Williston. First came
the fishes. They We're dominant for a
while, and had to give way to the am
phibians. Then came the reptiles. and
soon they yielded to the mammals.
Now the mammals are weakening, and
the newest class the birds, is growing
into prominence, and in time, 1 sincere
ly believe, will be the dominant inhab-
itants of the earth. Each of these
classes developed to the highest degree
of specialization, and then began to
wane. Man is developed to the highest
degree now. and little more can be ex-
pected of him.
Professor Williston is considered one
of the leading experts in paleontology
In this country, and has written sew
eral treatises on evolution.

There is a powerful argument in these

Manila is nominated for the Hongkong

Commander Peary, in his coming
dash for the North Pole, will have one
advantage that no previous Polar ex-
petition has had. His ship will be
equipped with a wireless telegraph in
stallation that. with one or two relay
stations in Greenland, is expected to
maintain communication, via the regu-
lar telegraph lines, with New York. A
commercial journal says that. while
polar expeditions can hardly be con-
sidered of immediate commercial i'm
portance, yet they have an indirect
bearing on the trade of the world, for
it is a noteworthy fact that the mer-
chant follows close on the heels of the
explorer. Thus, attempts to solve the
secrets of the Arctic regions have been
carried on for the past four hundred
years, during which time it is stated
that commercial products of total
value of 500, 600, 600 have been obtained
from that part of the globe.
