IN REGARD 10 COTTON.
Mr.. j. p. Taylor Gives His Views as to
Big Crops, and the Resulting Small
AlriOoc IniA

TO the Editor: 1t is stated on
COCO authority, that 1900 pounds Of
lint cotton per acre, is not only a
possible yield, but comparatively
easily possible, with the proper ap-
pliances and suitable knowledge and
average conditions of weather. That
is about ten times the average per
acre for the country at large. That
would give US 100000. 600 bales per
year. enough to last at present rate
IF world consumption, about ten
years.
SO if the cotton farmers were to
yaise this probable crop, they need
raise no more cotton for ten years.
They could raise cattle n corn and
wheat, or tax a ten year vacation.
But they were to do such a
thing as to raise q ten years supply
IN one year? They would ruin them
selves. Yet, under proper conditions.
IL would he the thing to do. You
give in your issue of September 9Th,
81 statement of the crop for 1923 as
about fourteen million bales, and the
crop OF l?1l-2 at about sixteen mil
lion bales. yet the farmers got sixty
one million dollars less for sixteen
million bales than they did for four
teen million bales. The crop OF
1891 was about thirteen million
Gred and three million dollars more
for 1910 than they did for the
1911-2 crop Of sixteen million bales.
The farmers would have made ons
hundred and three million dollars i
they had burned up the extra thre,
million bales OF 1912 crop. Blu
rhe railroads charge no less per ball
for hauling a big crop. The com
press companies and ginneries charg'
no less. The bagging and ties cost a
much per bale.
A big cotton crop is a calamity t
n cotton farmer. but fine for tn
railroads and cotton mill or tn
traders. What applies to the cotto
farmers applies to the corn. oat. an
wheat farmers as we'll. The corn Gro
a 1872 was three billion bushels. bu

had decided that Mary should go back
to her mother, to spend the summer
with her. There was to be no scandal.
Their friends had no inkllng Of the
condition Of affairs, but thought them
a devoted couple. They would sepa-
rate quietly, to their relation
ship IN the fall if, after mature con-
sideration, they decided that such an
arrangement would be for the best.
Mary had been on her way to the sta
ton when the accident happened.
Suddenly there swept rel him a
fuller realization than had ever be-
fore come to him of his s%elfishness.
He had ruined her life, he had killed
her love. Not the blindest and most
devoted love could have survived his
callous cruelty and Indifference. If
he could only have one chance more!
He sprang to his feet and hurried
to the street. The car carried him to

was just pulling out as he flung him
self aboard. That was John Cleave
all over, he thought bitterly. His wife
was dying, and he-loitering at his Of
fee when every moment Of delay
meant 80 much!
An hours run and he was treading
the streets of the country village in
which he lived. He saw his home; an
automobile was standing before the
door. He rushed in. The doctor and
a nurse, hastily summoned, were In
the hall. The doctor, on his way out,
was giving the nurse her instructions,
and for a full minute he did not pay
the least attention to Cleave. When
he had lnished speaking, and the
nurse had sped up the stairs. he turned
to him.

things might have been different-they
might not have quarreled so perpetu-
ally, Cleave was not by nature un-
kind, but he had spent long years of
selfish bachelorhood, and he was de-
oted to his fixed habits. Mary was
seven years younger; they had never
managed to adjust themselves to each
other. They had quarreled over the
merest %trifles, and their disagreements
always left them unrepentant and
moody.
How she had loved him before their
marriage, thought Cleave, as he sat at
his desk. Then she had striven at
first to make him happy! And he, too,
had tried hard to be good to her, for
Mary was very lovable and sweet. But
at last they had both given up in de-
spalr. Cleave would always remem-

night, three months before:

you, but the memory of these two un.
happy years must always be with me.

seemed hopeless. Things had gone

LAUDS HIS EFFORTS

Antagonism displayed against Dr.
J. F. King, county health officer, by
the county board OF education was
resented by members OF the Wayne
County Medical Society at its month
" meeting yesterday afternoon In
fact, so strongly did they oppose the
charges against the health offclaI
that they framed their resentment IN
the form of resolutions.
The faithful performance OF duties
in enforcing the state laws in the race
of opposition offered by certain pun
lie officials is assigned for the strong
opposition against DR.. King. 1t Is
said that he has become the marx
for singing criticism by being 100

desire to express publicly their opln-
ion of this criticism, ana OF III hIue

antagonism against Dr. King arises
in small part from misunderstanding
but for the most part from ms strict
