CUTTING COTTON ACREAGE

Writing to the Progressive Farm
mer, a southern farmer had the fol-
lowing to says last week:
| notice that the conference OF
southern governors has started the
old cry to cut the cotton acreage.
This effort has been made years
ado when cotton was down low III
price, but it availed little, for every
other man will imagine that there
is going to be reduction in the ac-
reaee and he will plant all he can
to get in on the better prices and
the result is the usual over-acreage.
The only way to reduce the cot
ton acreage is to get the farmers to
farming and to quit depending on
cotton alone. Good rOtatiye farm
ing-not mere growing supplies,
but growing other crops besides cot
ton for sale, growing feed and feed
IND beeves and hogs; in short, farm
in6 instead of merely planting cot
ton. No agreement among the all
cotton planters to reduce the acre
age will ever amount to anything
Years ago when cotton was down
to its lowest point a certain state
commissioner of agriculture was
urging in all his publications that
the acreage should be reduced, He
had a farm in the country, and one
day rode out with him to his farm
in the early spring, and to my sur
prise found the whole place ploWed
for cotton. Why" said !, i thought
that you we're advocating a reduc-
ton of the acreage?" Yes" said
he, Il think there will be large re-
duction in the acreage, and | want
to be in on it. And men all over
the cotton belt were just as insin-
cere in their efforts. They want
ed the other man to reduce and
give them a chance to make mon
ey.
But if we can but get the farmers
to really farm with cotton, it would
not be many years until as large a
crop as this years could be grown
on one-third the acreage, and being
grown for less than half the usual
cost, the farmer, with other things
to sell, would not be so much Wor-
ried by a low price of cotton, SIN
Gle cropping is at the bottom OF all
the trouble about cotton, and grow
ing cotton at an expense that is
needless if the farmer farmed well,
The man who has nothing but cot
ton and whose cotton costs him ten
cents a pound to make it, is in dis
tress at present prices, while the
farmer who makes from one to two
bales an acre still has some profit
even if not as much as he would
like to see.
The only cure for these recurring
panicS over the price Of cotton is
good farming with cotton as the
money crop and plenty of other
crops to pay all the cost of the
farming

jackson, Miss, March 13.-Although
his fourteen-year tenure in the upper
branch of Congress was brought to an
end on March 4th, United States SEN
ator H. d. Money will remain on the
Federal pay roll for at least a year
longer at the Senatorial salary, $500
per year
Senator Money is a member of the
National Monetary Commission, of
which body another distinguished fig
ure in the Senate who has also retired
to private life, Nelson w. Aldrich. is
chairman. The commission has been
wrestling with Americas financial
problem for the past two years and it
is estimated that it will take at least
a year longer to finish it's labors.
This means that Senator Money will
be required to spend a considerable

portion of his time in Congress. While
serving on the commission he will en-
JOY all the perogatives and privileges
OF an United States senator, except
voting and participation in debates.
Senator Money reached his home
near Mississippi City today. He in
tends to devote the next few weeks
to complete rest and recreation. The
task of removing his books, public
documents, and other personal effects,
from the national capital, is a rather
strenuous one, as he has spent several
months of each year in Washington
for the past twenty years. His retire
ment to private life leaves Mississippi
without a single ex-Confederate vet
eran in either branch of Congress.

Virgil Bogue, who is paid 81, 900 per month by the
city of Seattle to plan city beautiful has finally de-
zded that is high time he said something to at least
make bluff at earning his salary, and like the noun
tain that labored and brought forth a moehi after
months of earnest research he has discovered the
civic center of Seattle somewhere in Sleepy Hollow
where the woodbine twineth. For Seattle to adopt
Mr. Bogues idea of civic center would mean the
pendure of nearly ten millions dollars, and for the
railroads to locate the Union depot on Lake Union in
close proximity to the imaginary civic center would
mean that the railroads would have to abandon term
nals that have cost them nearly twenty million dol
lars and for the railroad companies to sacrifice such
investments and duplicate them at another part of the
city just to lend beauty to the occasion is weakness
of theirs and they lose opportunity of doing
in horn. 1t looks to if Mr.. Bogue is DESTROYS

Who recently returned from

travelled he spread the fame of

Mr.. Lowman is president of the
Chamber of Commerce, and not
only president in a nominal way,
but an untiring working presi-
dent, who never loses an oppor-
tunity to put to the front Seat
ties commercial advantages
While under the presidency of
his predecessor, the late Gov.
John H. sMcGraw, the Chamber
of Commerce did most excellent
service for the city, yet it can be
said without fear of successful
contradiction, that under his
presidency it has not waned in
its work and he has pushed
the good work on by day and
night. 1t is said of Mr.. Lowman
that he gives more Of his time
and his money to the success of
the Chamber in it's work for the
city than any of it's presidents.
He is not only president of the
Chamber, but be is one of the
foremost builders of the city in
the way of investments. He is
the sole proprietor of the Low
man block, one of the many sky
scrapers of the city and is heavi-
ly interested in many other
blocks and business enterprises
that are instrumental in making
Seattle the foremost city of the

Northwest On his return to the city he fell into his
working harness the very nextd day, and is planning to
give the Chamber of Commerce new blood and expects
for it to accomplish in the future even more than
it has in the past, which is saying a good deal Mr.
Lowman is pioneer of Seattle and spent his first
days in the city of her school teachers and he
therefore has been instrumental in many different
ways in making the city famous throughout the civil
lied world.
L. H. Gray, who has been sojournng in California
accompanied by his family for number of weeks has
returned Seattle and has nothing but praise for the
Puget Sound weather. 1t will be remembered that he
sold out the L, H. Gray Steamship company early in
the year. and for time retired from business, but
couple of months rest is all he seems to want and he
is getting ready to jump into the harness at an early
date the papers for his enterprise are now being
