High priced land is justified only by
high-class farming.
It's a perfectly safe marketing rule

For every bale of cotton the farmer
sells he should hold one bale.
A desirable husband IL known by
the size of his wife's woodpile.
A pessimist is one who sees only

Progressiveness means not being

A farmer is known by the banker

A real scientist is one who can de-

1t is said that we get in life just

There are no failures in life more

COTTON WILL REPLACE JuTE
More General use Of Raw Material for
Manufacture Of Irvine and Bag
qlno Will Aid Demand.

A more general use Of cotton in
stead of juSe for the manufacture Of
Irvine and bagging. It 10 believed, win
be the result of an investigation made
by a number of public-spirited peo-
pie who endeavored to learn II there
were not other uses to which cotton
made goods could be put to in this
country. thereby creating Q demand
for cotton which formerly has been
sent abroad.
When the bottom dropped out OF
the foreign demand for American cot
ton one Of the first thoughts that
passed through the minds Of the peo-
pie Of the South was to promote the
use Of more cotton by the home man
ufacturers. Appeals were made to
all Of the mills in the United States
and in Canada to buy a. much cotton
rs possible.
As jute IL imported. principally from
Germany. and the conflict on the con-
tinent has virtually blocked all i'm
portation to this country, the supply
Of jute In the United States began to
greatly diminish. The price Of cotton
began to drop at the same time. with
the result that shortly after the war
began cotton was placed ON Q COM
petitive basis with jute.
An important result Of this cam
paign for the greater use Of raw cot
ton in this country IL an inquiry be-
ing made by the United States post
ONCE department a. to whether cot
ton Irvine In place Of jute Irvine In
the post offices over the country would
be q saving. Postmaster General
Burleson sent q direct inquiry to the
postmasters Of the country, who are
securing all information available on
the subject. Should the post ONCE
department decide upon the use Of cot.
ton Irvine. 1t would mean the consump-
ton of thousands of bales yearly.
Cotton for the manufacture Of bag
ging. to be used for cereals, princi-
pally, is also an outcome Of this move
ment. Wholesale and retail dealers
throughout the South made an almost
unanimous appeal to the manufactur-
ers of aour. salt, cereal and other
foodstuffs to use cotton bagging for
the packing Of their products. The
responses to these requests were re-
ceived by the merchants of the South
in great numbers. and the indications
are that many thousands Of bales will
be utilized In this manner.
