SAYS SOUTH IS IN A
DEPLORABLE CONDITION
Many Planters Ruined by Euro
pean War = Ten Million
Bales of Cotton in Store
Houses.

Manager Bert DEFAULT Of the Mish-
awake hotel returned TO this city on
Christmas. from 10 days sOjourn to
his cotton plantation in the southern
part OF Mississippi. Mr.. De Vault, in
speaking of the conditions in the south
at the present time, stated that they
were deplorable. Hundreds of fami-
lies have been ruined within the past
few months, while hundreds Of others
are on the verge OF ruin, which has
been brought about by the present
great European war. The cotton
crops On the south this year have been
a failure from a financial standpoint,
there being 100000 bales of cot
ton left on the hands Of the plantation
owners. Negro helpers and plantation
renters are in many cases now starv-
ing. being unable TO unload their crops
of last year.
Mr.. De Vault stated that on last
Tuesday morning he sold 16 bales of
cotton at six and a half cents a pound,
for which in former seasons he would
get II IL. and sometimes more The
cotton crop for the south last season
produced over 100000 bales. OF
this amount the United States can use
about 100000, leaving the 10000,
900 balance In the store houses of
America unsold. Before the war this
big balance was shipped to various
countries OF Europe where IL was used
in the manufacture OF cotton goods
and again shipped to this country for
the retail market.
To relieve the conditions for next
year. cotton growers have agreed to
cut the acreage of cotton TO One-half
that OF the past year. This will di-
Infpfsh the crop to a reasonable
amount. The balance of the acreage
will be used for planting crops for
live stock and products.

Farming.
(SoUTHERN CULTIvATOR. J

(SOUTHERN CULT1VATOR.
In the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread" This is the SEN
tence pronounced upon fallen
man, which of course meant
farming.
Farming is the oldest occupa-
ton of man. Farming started in
the Garden of Eden when God
placed Adam and Eve therein.
Farming is the noblest pursuit
of man. On farm a man can
live a purer and cleaner life than
anywhere else. He can live
closer to God in every respect.
He is doing something nearer to
that which God is doing than a
man following any other profess
sion. God is creating man and
putting life into him while the
farmer is creating plant life and
causing it to exist, and in this
way is getting closer to God than
a man following any other pro-
fession.
Some people consider farming
a very low work and a farmer a
still lower being. But some are
coming to realize that the farmer
should stand socially, spiritually,
and politically as high as anyone
else.
Also some people think that a
farmer does not need an educa-
ton, but that is far wrong too.
It takes brains and education to
know how to farm just as to do
anything else. ''It takes as
much brains to run a four-horse
farm as it does to run bank or
a railroad"
Men of all other occupations
depend on the farmer for all.
When the farmer first began he
needed tools and farm nipple
ments, hence the blacksmith.
He knew he had to get sick, hence
the doctor. His children, he
knew, should be educated, hence
h e school teachers. Besides
these few mentioned there are
nany more occupations depend
ing on farming.
Yours for more and better far
ming.
