ed to learn long ago. and very costly
one now. Tho calamity howl that has
gone up from the South has attracted
the attention OF the whole world. and
has met with scant sympathy from
most quarters. which It, in a measure,
deserves.
with our climate we can rnisc all
the crops grown in the Temperate
Zono, our forest and mines yielding
untold wealth. but poorly developed;
with watorpower unsurpassed, we
should DO able to takc care OF our
selves no matter what iB going on in
Europe. we should have more nerve
and backbone than to give up for a
temporary setback, should have back
bones stronger than cotton threads and
not 80 brittle as cheap tobacco.
We, should be men and not a set
OF calamity howlers because we can
not sell tobacco and cotton in Europe
before 1t Is made and ready for mar
ket, conditions arc improving. and,
with the iesson Just learned through
suffering temporary loss by conditions
existing In Europe, 1t should result In
lasting benefit to our Southland.

TINE FOR BIG BUSINESS
IN AMERICAN GRAIN LAND
Indications Point to Fact That West
and south Must Feed the
World.

WASHINGTON. November 2S.--The
latest reports from Argentina and
India are not favorable for the sea-
sons crops of grain. The wheat In
India is eald to be suffering from
drought. while in Argentina wheat, oats
and corn are stated to. be In poorer
conditions than In other seasons.
The war disturbance In Egypt and
In South Africa will Undoubtedly cause
g shrinkagc In the grain production
of those countries, and all this en-
phasizes the Importance of the aEri-
culturlsts Of the United States In pre-
pairing, In the largest measure posi-
BILE, for the immense demand that ~
certain to come upon them for grain
next year.
Reports agree that the largest area
ever sowed In winter wheat In this
country has been sowed this fall, and
this indicates that the farmers have
due appreciation of the necessity of
providing for the food of the world in
the years to come, and that with all
other grains the same efforts to raise
large crops Will be taken.
The corn crop OF the West and the
South next year should be doubled,
and II can be doubled with great profit
TO those who have the lands to culti-
vate.
The high prices OF hog products
make this corn crop great source
and there is not possible surplus OF
that cereal that cannot be converted
into cash through the feeding of these
animals.
All the food products of the farms
of this country can be largely in
creased without fear of reductions In
prices to the producers. and 1t does
seem proable that such products are
In the future years to bring even still
larger prices than they do now.
Our own urban population Increases
In u far greater percentage than that
of the rural districts: the worlds call
