Many plans have been advanced 10
solve the difficult financial question
confronting the cotton growing States.
OF these, the great majority are OF
no practical value. Most of those
who have given closest thought and
attention to the question agree on one
thing, that is that each grower should
hold as much cotton as is possible, and
as long as he possibly can, that the
market may not be glutted with co.,
ton and the price depressed. The
next point of general agreement is
that the 1915 crop cut at least to one
half that of 1914, otherwise all plans
are useless and however effective for
the present, only postpone for year
the financial ruin of the South. But
among the plans that, while possibly
not entirely solving our difficulty,
will vastly aid the farmer, is the

Business men who would take
advantage of conditions OH the other
side of the ocean to raise the price of
food and other articles on this side
are wanting in patriotism, humanity
and common decency. They should be
made to feel the strong arm of the

adequate to deal with it, then make
one that will. 1t is always the poor
and weak that suffer from such
ingenious cruelty.

Minnesota has forested area Of
28,O00,000 acres, the largest of any
state east of the Rocky mountains.
There are approximately 100000
lcres of timber land in New Hamp-
shire, OF which about half is in farm

Forest fires in the United States
have caused an average loss OF 10
human lives and the destruction OF
S25,OO0,00O worth of timber.
Juniper from the Indian reserva-

The total amount of land purchased
in the eastern states for federal for

the principal work on these areas has
involved their protection against for
