Cotton Seed Last Year-$2S.
WHY?
Cotton Seed This Year-$14.
w. r. Anderson. in Macon (Ga.) Tel
egraph, September 4, 1914.
The farmers have got to do some
thing for themselves. They are in the
majority, and the laws of their states
can be made to serve their interests
if they demand it, Farmers should
not be deceived into believing anyone
is going to do anything for them eX-
cept he is forced to do it.
Secretary McAdoo has urged that
the southern people stand together in
this cotton crisis, and not take ad-
vantage of the farmer. That's bosh-
Just muSh. We have no PATRIOTISM
nor charity when we see an opportu-
nity to make a dollar. If cotton can
be bought for cents today, then we'll
wait till tomorrow, hoping the farmer
will be so hard pressed that ne VIII
have to sell it at sc.
Who is going to pay more for any
commodity than he is forced to pay!
Why waste space and air with any
such appeals? Let the farmer put q
guarantee behind his plan to cut down
next years crop Of cotton to one third,
and we'll not wait to see if it will go
lower Mill men will be glad to lay in
their stocks for two years, and this
buying will accomplish a raise in
prices.
What is being done with the cotton
seed. for example?
Cotton seed, produce oil, meal and
hulls. These are food products. The
price of all food products is advanc-
ing. Gotten seed lard compound is
higher today than when the war start
ed
We export about 100000 casks of
cotton seed oil and compound per an
mum. This expectation is cut down
perhaps stopped entirely. But the
price is increased, because 1t is a food.
Last year the farmer received for his
seed from $25 to $2S per ton He is now
receiving from SO to $14 for his seed
The price Of compound is advancing
because it is a food but the price OF
the farmers cotton seed is reduced
half because the farmer can't help
himself.
If the farmer wants a bucket OF
compound, he must pay more.
Yet the seed he sells, out of which
these things are made, only bring him
half as much as last year.
One ton of cotton seed will produce:
4OO-lbs. oil a &C -. ......$24 90
7O0-lbs meal a 13C 49,. .... 8 IS
l00-lbs. linters q &c .... -. 90
50lbS. waste .... 80. 80.

Resolution Adopted in Atlanta.

Resolved, That we urge the Hon.
John NJ. Slaton, governor of Georgia,
to call a conference of the governors,
with the attorneys general, of the
within named states, at the most ad-
visable time and convenient location,
to by some sure plan consider curtail-
ment. We believe the sentiment OF
the people is overwhelming in favor OF
curtailment, and any law by which II
can be accomplished will prove popu-
lar. and a solution of the present prob
lem.

MUCH SURPRISED

To bring a bunch Of Good Horses
and mules to this market at this sea-
son of the year was very much of an
experiment. We did not expect to do
much business, but thought we would
give it a trial. The business has been
very surprising. We have made sever

We still have several nice animals and

The barn on the farm in Wilmington
rented by Horace Fowler of the Deer
field River Co, was burned to the
ground Thursday together with all the
stock, hay and farming tools
The fire started about 4.30 a. III.

do his chores. The steps to the barn
broke, letting him fall and stunning
him. When he recovered consciousness
he found that the lantern had been
broken and set fire to the barn. The
fire was already beyond control and
there were no neighbors or apparatus
with which to step the fire.
MIR. Fowler succeeded in rescuing
his three horses but could save moth
ing else. lie lost 81 head of stock,
about 50 tons Of ensilage and 10 tons
of hay besides his farming tools. The

FORESTRY METHODS
SHOWN BY PICTURES
Assistant State Forester Gave Educa-
tional Address Before Unitarian
Men S Club and Guests.

Through the courtesy of the Men 5
club OF the Unitarian church a good
sized audience listened to an interest
ing and educational stereopticon ad-
dress in the parish house last night by
b. y. Chandler, assistant state forester
Mr.. Chandler gave Il clear outline of
what the forestry service is attempt
ing TO do and showed that i'll Vermont
the economic idea is developing much
more rapidly than in some states. He
defined forestry as the formation, de-
velopInent and reproduction of timber
land on an economic basis, and empha-
sized the things that make this posi-
bic. Mr.. Chandler showed that it was
not always a detriment to land to cut
small trees, depending upon conditions,
and said it would be a great mistake
for the legislature to set a diameter
limit on trees that might be cut. The
views showed stands of timber in va
rious parts Of the state and illustrated
both scientific and wasteful methods
employed IN one of the state 5 import
ant industries.

LOW MEAT PRICES
BENEFIT PUBLIC.
BrattIeboro Cash Market Meets Hamil-
tom s Schedule-Great Reduction
in Choice Cuts of Beef.

The prices of meat in Brattleboro
continue TO interest the people. There
IS now real competition and the pub
lie is getting the benefit of it. Meat
Of all kinds and of good quality can
now be obtained at prices that have
not prevailed here before in many
years The choice cuts of beef are
from eight to 10 cents a pound less
than the price for which they have
been obtainable heretofore, which
brings real Christmas cheer not only
to those who cannot afford to pay high
prices but also to many who have am
pie means.
J. w. Hamilton offered meat at re
duced prices, when re recently estab-
lished a market at Linden street. He
has been doing lalge business, his
customers numbering some of the
town ; most prominent persons. The
Brattleboro Cash Market, Fred D. Da-
Wis proprietor, has now practically met
Mr.. Hamilton 5 prices.
Mr.. Hamilton bought quantity Of
pork of the Swift Co in Boston this
week. but last night he received d
letter stating that they could not ship
it. This morning he bought quantity
of pork in Springfield to be shipped at
'once by express. Mr.. Hamilton will
build a refrigerator before cold wealth
cr ends.
