III Il circular sent out to farmers
and business men IN the cotton states
TIE department OF agricC iture urges
cotton farmers 10 grow their own
food instead Of attempting to obtain
through cotton the money required
for necessit es. In some sections O.
the south, thousands OF small far,
mers are said to be facing actual
hunger this winter through the fall
jng Off Of tic cotton demand.
The department urges the farmer
to grow less cotton and devote some
OF his attention to the raising Of gar
den. truck and cattle, hogs and poui-
try. This would prove a remedy for
the Ovcr-prOductiOn Of cotton.
Specialists in the department be
lieve that if the real value Of d.
versif.e ed farming to be once thorough
" understood the cotton acreage will
be reduced in natural and healthy
manner" 1t is stated.

BURLINGTON MAKING
BID FOR FACTORIES
Committee From Commercial Elk
change Tells Rhodes and Child
Of Adva ntaqes.

Burlington Gazette: The promotion
committee from the Commercial Ex
change met with C. B. Rhodes, indus.
trial agent, and Richard Washburn
Child, attorney. for the Industrial de-
partment OF the Mississippi River
Power Co., at noon today for the pur-
pose OF suggesting ways and means
of spending the $4,000 appropriated
by the power company for the use OF
securing industries for the zone that
uses the power from the dam at Keo-
kuk.
The gentlemen who are here from
the eastern Offices Of the power com
pany have lines out, and already have
secured tentative promises from a
number Of concerns that they will 10.
cate in one OF the cities of the power
zone if the conditions are such as to
warrant their leaving the present 10
cation.
The committee from the CONNER
cial Exchange made some sugges-
lions regarding the advantages Of this
city, and asked that they be given
chance, along with the, other cities,
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1914-04-29

to present the advantages OF locating
here to any of the prospective indus
tries.
One OF the most peculiar things of
the work OF Messrs. Child and
Rhodes is that number OF the con-
Germs that have been interested in
the advantages of locating in this sec
ton of the country do not use power
in any form whatever.
The advantage OF bringing the con-
Germs here that do not use power Is
merely sort of lone star that may
be used to attract other concerns that
are users OF power. It would natural
ly be much easier to convince pros
pective power zone manufacturer that
the section close to the dam Is desir-
able il the person making the argu-
ment could say they secured certain
concern to come there and that The
advantages outside Of the power were
what brought him.
That and the additional advantages
of the power should do wonders for
this section Of the country, and the
committee from the Exchange and
the gentlemen from the power com
pany are sanguine as to the results
of their efforts.
