crops. Any farmer who is familiar
with conditions in South Carolina,
knows that the grain crop in the
South is the most tTeacherous of all
crops. The very land that produces
Is bushels of oats to the acre this
year, may produce ten next year,
though all conditions except moist
ure may have been the same. And
then who is prepared to market a
grain crop? 1t all sounds very well
to talk about European demand for
grain !; but let,it be remembered that
grain is contraband of war and Eu-
ropean markets will be closed to
grain, that are not closed to cotton.
While we do not believe that ten
acres of cotton to the horse would
produce over go per cent of a normal
crop, or even IS per cent, suppose it
did produce 70 per cent. This would
reduce the yield to 1O,5O0,OOO bales,
and with English mills running as
they are, and with all other Euro
pean markets open to cotton, even in
their crippled condition, consump-
ton will exceed 100000 bales
American cotton. Then, again, sup
pose there should be a small surplus
next year, the third year, even under
war conditions, on a ten acre basis,
there would be a shortage, and cot
ton would gradually resume a nor
NAL price. In the meantime far
mers could break even if they did
not get rich.
The average yield of cotton over
the cotton belt now is less than six
bales to the horse. Cut off the land
planted to six acres which is a reduc-
ton of 10 per cent in acreage, and
all the rains and all the fertilizer that
could be shoWered on the crop would
not make the yield exceeding six
million bales Of cotton, or an average
of two and a half to three bales to
the horse. Take, out the cost, Of fer
tiiizer and the cost. of feeding man
and beast, and what have you?
at best or an absurd and
impossible condition that the farmer
will not submit to.
} It is unfair for the legislature to-
base its calculations on a speculative
increased yield per acre and it is just
assunfair to base them on exceptions.
The averaged yield over the belt is
the just basis of calculation, to which
may be added a small increased yield
per acre under reduced acreage.
Total reduction, or even reduction
to six acres, means the stopping Of
every oil mill in the South, aud the
throwing out of employment the
Of thousands of people en-.
gagged in that business. 1t means
the. running 6f cotton mills on half.
time and the throwing out of EN-.
the hundreds of thousands
Of people, engaged in that industry.
1t means pauperizing the tenant far:
mers, and .crippling beyond repair
the land owner. 1t would be rank
injustice to capital and a crime
against labor. =

AN EDUCATIONAL
EXPOSITION HERE
1t Is Called the Country Life and
Is in the Grand Central
Terminal.

A new enterprise typical of the TWEEN
tieth century development is the Country
Life Permanent Exposition, located In
the Grand Central Terminal. This UNI
dertaking enters entirely into a new field
of craftsmanship. 1t takes off the sharp
edge OF selling methods and presents 10
the public in an educational form the
advantages OF living in tho country and
how they may avail themselves of those
methods.
Back of this new enterprise is Robert
T. Farley a White Plains man, president
of the Scarsdale Estates and the Gedney
Farm Company two Of the largest ana
most up-to-date real estate development
concerns in suburban New York. MI
Farley had the foresight and the nerve
necessary to make this departure from
old-established methods. The results
since the opening prove that Mr.. Far
ley's dream of a permanent exposition
to deal with country living was based
on the right theory.
At the Country Life Exposition are
booths showing garden statuary ana
cement modelling. model houses, orna-
mental brick, furnaces and heating, mod-
ern bathroom equipment. imported wall
nsner and decorations, steel ceiling pat
terms. lighting fixture specialties. sports
mans supplies. 1914 model automobile
motor cycle and bicycle, model camp
white enamel rcfrigerators. vacuum
cleaners. paints and varnishes, plants
for landscape effects, model greenhouse
seeds and bulbs, rustic tea garden port
able garage, rustic furniture electric
washing machine, modern kitchen neces-
stiles. metal weather strips. composition
floors Indian splint furniture, ornamen-
tai gates and fences, interior decorating
and furnishings. parquet flooring engi-
neering and construction. hammered
brass and copper goods. willow furni-
ture. rustic architecture, country lire
publications. Japanese gardens, electric
vibrators lava heating, model nursery
equipment. and safes and vaults for the
home.
Many other interesting features at the
exposition include a series Of panoramic
paintings OF Westchester County, from
the Hudson River to the Sound; scenes
Of country life, recreations and sports;
music by the Aeoian Company, a rustic
tea house. where tea, coffee and light
refreshments are served: a moving pict-
ure room. where interesting lectures are
given on subjects pertaining TO the
home. with illustrations, demonstrations
of houseware appliances, oriental rug
wing and the use OF different forms
Of material are the daily events A Du-
reau OF information for hotels and re-
sorts makes the exposition popular
spot for the tourist. Here he may learn
all about the hotels and resorts. In
short the new exposition is a gathering
together OF everything that goes into
life outside the city. It's purpose is ed
ucationa as wei as financial and its high
aim is bound to nnd a respondent note
IN the heart of the people OF New York,
who are after all In large majority an
ut-of-door-living people.
