In recent years the South has maze
various efforts to curtail the cotton
crop, mainly with the idea of getting
higher prices for it's cotton. These CT
forts have failed because no organi-
cation could be effected, and each In
dividual planter was convinced that
the bigger crop he could raise the
more money he could get. Now a
movement is 10 foot in that section to
get the farmers to plant more food
stuffs, especially corn and potatoes. in
place Of so much cotton. They de-
clare it TO be wasteful for the South
to buy 50 much food stuff from the
West when it could be easily raised at
home. Northern visitors are always
amazed to find in the cotton belt of
the South that there is seldom any
thing but cotton to be found. Cotton
is planted everywhere and almost
everything used on the table is bought.
No doubt ii would be a good thing if
the South raised more than it does
now of it's food stuffs, but it is doubt
full if in doing SO it would raise less
cotton. The consuming power of the
country, both in food stuffs and cotton,
is constantly increasing. and we al
ready have much less of both to send

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT,
Mr.. Emery Wins.
(BangOr NeWS.)


To the average citizen of Maine who
Is fairly familiar with the conditions
which prevail in all State Libraries. to
the person who realizes that books or
this kind are more for reference than
for circulation, Governor CObbS Selec-
ton of Mr.. Ernest Emery of Augusta
to fill the place left vacant by the death
of MIR. Carver seems wise and in keep
ing with the sentiments of the times.
In the first place, the selection Is in
the direct line of advancement as cs-
tablislied by civil service rules. AS
assistant librarian for u number of
years, MIR. Emery filled the place ac-
certably to every patron of the library
He WAS alert. courteous. untirtnE and
seemingly capable of unlimited endur-
ance. No matter how capable a man
may be, he must familiarizc himself
with the books he controls before nc
can become useful to the public. a
library Is not a machine conducted by
steam power. On the contrary. every
library has distinct individuality of
it's own. Maine has gathered most
valuable collection of books inside the
State house. The library is not large.
when tested by the standards cstab-
iished in many Of the modern cities. but
for special studies in law, gcnealogy.
Maine history, chronicles of families
and towns and school districtS-for
out of the-Way information-Ma s
library is of almost priceless value.
Mr. Emery'S fitness for the place can
not be gainsaid. He knows the library.
the way every boy knows the garnet of
the house in which he lives. Instead of
being student Of individual books.
Mr.. Emery knows his books collective
ly. lie may be ignorant regarding
what many books hold in the way of
human information. but he knows
every shelf and alcove and cubby-hOle.
and can go in the dark and feel out
most any book that is wanted. He has
made himself an index to the State
library.
And herein lies his greatest value to
the public. 1t has become the custom
in many states to select their libra
| rians from worthy bookwormswho have
grown blcar-eyed and supcrcilious from
| much study, and who often think they
| are better qualified to tell what a caller
wishes than the visitor himself Mr.
| Emery is not that kind of a librarian
He kindly permits every patron to
| know what he desires. and then makes
haste to comply with whatever wish
| may be expressed. 1t is we'll enough
| pei maps. to pension harmless students
by giving them positions in libraries
| though as rule the public suffers very
| much from the unwise choice Mr.
| Emery is a kindly and "A polished gen.
| t'enian. as we'll as an expert librarian
| No other man in Maine could fill the
place s" we'll. The appointment is al
| ideal one in every way. Governor
! Cobb is to be congratulated in having
| recognized the demands of the public
| Instead of writing learned and tedious
books. which lead nowhere. and in.
stead of galIavanting about in search
of literature that may prove of M
value when it is secured. Mr.. Emery
will be living and working librarian
in the fullest sense Of a term.

falling TO instruct for Pardee is re-

reading was resumed
