APPEAL OF JORDAN
COTTON GROWERS PRESIDENT
 TALKS TO CONSTITUENTS.
Urges the Policy of Diversified Farm ing Throughout the south on Ac-
 count of Unfavorable Labor Conditions.

Atlanta, Ga., March 2.--(Special. )--- The cotton growers of the south are urged to adopt the policy of diversifi- ed farming under an intensive system For the crop year of 1907.
 On account of labor conditions and high prices for all kinds os supplies the extensive culture of cotton at the expense of the production of necessary food supplies on the farm Is policy which has long since proved suicidal 10 the average cotton grower. A gen. erai reduction this year of ten per cent in the total cotton acreage plant ed last year as an increased acreage of ten per cent in food supplies will to a very great extent solve many of the present perplexing problems which confront the Southern cotton growers. Every effort should be exerted by each individual cotton grower this year to steer clear of the credit sys- tenn and establish a cash basis of trad ing. The credit system is responsible for the, enormous receipts of spot cot ton during the fall and early winter, which always tends to depress prices.
 It will be difficult to systematize the warehousing and financing of spot cotton so as to regulate the supply to meet the actual and legitimate de- mands of consumption so long as the credit system honey-combs the south. LIS IL uOeS Ioudy. mere IS put llllie hope of relief from the iniquities of the credit system so long as cotton growers persist in keeping their corn Eribs and smoke houses in the west, and using their local supply merchants as the medium through which the pur@ chase and distribution of the neces- Bary staple commodities are made.
 Solve the labor problem by plant Ing fewer acres, cultivate and fertilize better and use the latest and most ap- proved farming implements and labor saving devices. Solve the credit sys- kem by producing the necessary food supplies at home. Solve the question of marketing the crop for fair and profitable prices by retaining the ownership of the staple after 1t is made, and placing it on the market only when prices are satisfactory. The planting, cultivation and harvest ing of the crops can be done by in- niyidual action. Marketing, however, must be done under modern methods of compact organization and system. While arranging for a broader ex- panse of diversified planting this spring do not forget the equally inn portant matter of cenenting your local organization and making the right kind of preparations for systematizing the sale of the crop next season. A crop which cannot be sold profitably to the producer is not worth the time and labor expended in its production. Let every man do his duty in 1907 and win the success to which his great hvocation in the field of production entities him. Very truly,
 Harvie Jordan,
 t President, s. c. A.

 Downstares once more. she gathered up her wraps and was drawing on her gloves when Mrs Carruth excused herself to look after some dinner details.

 A hand rested appealingly on her shoulder. She looked up to meet Henry Carruth's grave glance.

 Bertha looked up in dismay as the stranger entered. Kenton City was not so far ahead of a frontier town that the sudden appearance of this brawny intruder did not suggest a peaceful errand.
 Trembllngly she madeS change for the $50 gold certificate he handed her, after elaborately testing It's genuine ness, and pushed the little pile of bills toward him.
 Aren't you rather young to be left in charge of bank" he asked as he deposited the change in his wallet. 'T supposed that three or four men were the usual crew; not a little girl"
 q am not little girl" she said in- dignantly. I'm nineteen, and I guess this will help me out"
 This" was a huge revolver, and as she held 1t toward him he noticed that 1t trembled in her uncertain grasp Pm satisfied" he said with a laugh. Please put it down."

 '"Ehey lunch rather late here,s was the significant retort, as he glanced at the clock. Three o'clock lunches are rather rare in Kenton City, are they not?'
 Bertha's heart sank. So he must know that her father was Ill in bed and that the cashier, the only other of- ficiaI of the bank had gone over to the railroad. Perhaps he knew, also, that in the vaults were the payrolls of the two mines which made the First Ma tional a financial possibility.

 "1'll wait around for a while" he said with a smile 'T have plenty of time and with pleasant company" he bowed courteously to Bertha
 T can't put you out" she said with a toss of her head.
 "If I intrude," he suggested, can put myself out"
 This was just what Bertha did not want If he was planning to rob the vaults and was waiting until his con- federates came up, there was a chance that some one might come in before then who could help her secure him.

 Dwelling upon the cotton goods situation Dunn's Weekly Trade Review is quoted, in part as follows: More advance in the price of cotton goods at primary markets testify to the inability of mills to handle the busi- ness In sight and the urgency of the demand from second hands that were not prepared for the needs of distributors. The slight rise fin teh cost of raw material had no bearing on the condition. no attention being paid to that factor for sometime past"
 Confirming the above report. Bradstreet says in it's weekly report: Trade has ip- proved all around, the impetus being fur nished by the realization of favorable weather. the presence of country merchants in leading markets and the approach of business placed in most lines and sections during the past two months exceeds that of year ago. very active period. The cotton goods situation is one of tremendous strength, print cloths selling at the highest prices in a generation and all other products from yarn to the finest cloths selling at almost unremembered prices. The doubtful features are the possibilities as to the next seasons crop"
 Of late there has been good rains in sections of the Southwest, in the lower Mis- eissippi valley and in the South Atlantic Etates, which while interfering with farm work have been beneficial by providing necessary moisture for sowing of the seed in the early planting districts.
