Reap the Harvest.

Reap the Harvest.
"There are some tour or five mil
lion bales of cotton that nobody in
the wide world can take and make
use of this year, but when the war
is passed there is going to be the
greatest demand for cotton that the
world has ever known and the man
wao now puts his cotton in the ware
house and borrows just enough to
live on and plant his grain crop is
the man who is going to reap the
harvest. If The truns it over to some
body else this somebody else is going
to make the difference and ne is go
ing to sacrifice the result of his labor
at less than the cost of production.
If our farmers can do this and If
we can get it through their neads
that to plant cotton next year is
equivalent to committing suicide, but
that to plant grain, for which there
will be a great world demand and
for which they will probably get sew
eral times per acre what they ever
got out OF cotton, and get crop off
before any other portion OF the world
can do it, then by rouding out next
year with corn and forage, after a
big grain crop, the South ought to
be in a position to not only command
anything that it wants for cotton, but
be in more Independent condition
than it has ever been before in agri-
culture, and it won't take all the fer
tilizer in the world to do it.
"By that time the new reserve
bank system will have been put in
full operation and the circulating me-
dunn in the United States will be at
least $4,000, ,000-more than double
the currency of the United States
today. Our gold reserve will have
been called into it's proper place
as a banking reserve to balance either
the internationl exchange of the
world or our internal exchange. The
other nations of the world with de-
pleted gold reserves will want gold
as they never wanted it before ana
pay a higher price for it, and this
country, practically the South, will
have entered upon, with proper eX-
pansion of trade and extension of the
markets for cotton the greatest era
of commercial development and pros
perity the country has ever known.
But the farmer who now owes the
banks and finds no market for cotton
will say, what am l to do in the
meantime? How am l to pick my
crop? How am l to keep the mer-
chant from squeezing me and putting
me in bankruptcy?
Price of Seed.
"The cottonseed crushing industry,
because the price OF Oil has kept up,
all the way across the cotton belt is
taking care of the picking problem by
announcing its intention Of paying SIC
ton for seed. That will pay for
picking the crop. The securing OF an
advance of even cents a pound on

Farmers of the Pacific northwest
will have nearly s52,OO0,OO0 from this
seasons grain crop. Probably as
much more will come to them from the
hay, hops and livestock. How the far
mers of Oregon, Washington and west
tern Idaho will spend this $1,000, 900
will interest bankers, merchants and
others quite as much as the farmers
themselves.
Not until after the statistlcians cast
mp their figures will Il be known
through what principal channels these
800. 100000 from the farmers gravi-
tate back to the various sources, but
Portland bankers, real estate men and
others who know something OF the
philosophy of the movement of money
have some interesting guesses on what
will be done with this sum of farmers
cash. First, the farmers will pay their
debts at the banks, aggregating prob
ably s20,000,000, for money advanced
to meet harvesting expenses. Other
loans TO be repaid to and through the
banks of the interior farming country
will amount to s5,OOO,OOO. II will take
another s25,0OO,O0O to square accounts
with the merhants and implement
lifted, calling for probably another
$4,000, 900. Not all farmers are car
rying the load OF mortgages and those
who are money lenders will have pro-
babiy n total OF s10.O00,000 to loan at
interest or to otherwise invest. Many
farmers, particularly wheat growers,
prepare themselves TO buy n neighbor's
holdings when the latter is ready 10 re-
tire and move to the big city, and this
class will probably carry on deposit
or for quick turning into cash an
other 100000.
The automobile dealers will get their
share OF the farmers unQucstioned
evidence Of prosperity to the extent OF
probably y5.OOO.OO0 for purchase of
new and better and more machines.
Finally the farmers will have a nest
egg and IL IL estimated that about
S20. 200. 900 OF this $iO0,0oo.OOo will
remain on deposit In the banks.
Merchants will feel the quickenihg
effects on business when the farmers
commence to square their accounts
and in turn the wholesalers will have
money to ease up their financial loads.
Transportation companies will also
benefit when the farmers commence to
sell their crops and all down the line
everyone will get share OF the farm
ers' prosperity.

PROMINENT PEOPLE
LAID TO final REST

Bessie E. Pogue Utley, the
only daughter Of DR.. and Mrs.
G. A. Pogue, and wife Of Wm.
Homer Utley, was born March
0, 1885, in Firth, Nebraska, and
died in Ontario, Oregon, July 6,
1914, at the ago Of 2s years, 8
months and 2S days.
When a child OF 8 she came
with her parents to Ontario,
which was then in its pioneer
days. Therefore from her ear
liest times she held a vital place
in the growth Of the town and
the memory Of its people. Even
today she is admired and loved
by many whose earliest recollec-
tions are OF her sweet and sun
ny childhood, and ties she
formed then shall last as long as
memory retains. She took ad-
vantage OF the educational
means offered her, was a men,
ber OF the first Sunday school
organized in Ontario and COM
pleted the grade work with the
first class that passed out from
our schools. Preparatory to her
colleg. work she attended school
at Baker a part Of two years,
later entering the Agricultural
College at Corvallis and gradu-
ating with the class OF 1909.
The same year she married
w. II. Utley and moved with
him to Montana, a,where his work
called him, being in the govern
ment employ at that time. After
completing his contract they re-
turned to Ontario, where they
resided until the present.
BY her death many homes are
made sad. She was a dutiful
and devoted daughter, always
anxious for the interest OF father
and mother; a true wife and
helpmate to her husband, con.
slant in well doing, active for
the comfort and well being oi
those around her; an affection
ate and loving mother, giving
her time and strength for her
home and family. She is gone
and no one can take her place.
Her life was well spent, and the
world Is better for having just
such daughters, mothers and
wives in it.
With her father and mother,
husband and two little children,
Emily aged 4 years, and Mildred
about l6 months, her departure
is mourned by host OF friends.
Rev. Philip Koenig.
The funeral services were held
Wednesday at the residence OF
DR.. and Mrs. Pogue, by Revs.
Koenig, Myers and Johns.
The pallbearers, all former

were Arthur s. King, Il. A.
