Opportunity Now For the
United States,

In the current issue of Farm and
Ffreside appears an interesting inter
view with Edwin F. Sweet, Assistant
Secretary of Commerce at Washington,
in which Mr.. Sweet points out specif-
cally the opportunities that now
amound for American business as a re
suit of the present war. In the follow
ing extract from the interview with
him, appear his reasons for believing
that one opportunity lies along the line
of increased manufacture of cloths in
this country to take the place of i'm
ported goods:
When the tariff was taken off wool
most people believed it would be a Sc
rious blow to the production of sheep
and wool in this country.
But the expected failed utterly to
happen. Wool began rising instead of
falling in price as soon as the tariff a..
passed. The real explanation was that
the whole world was short of wool; it
was universal condition, and in the
face of worldwide shortage of such
a staple, tariffs and bounties and the
like are swept into insignifcance.
Wool has been going up and UP
and the sheep and wool industry is
coming back is fast as it can. 1t will
keep on coming.
"And wool is another illustration of
the great opportunity now open to
Americans of capturing their own home
markets from the Foreigners. Did you
ever stop to think how almost ridicd-
lous it is for an American to go into a
shop, buying suit, and to have the
tailor drag out, right at the beginning,
something particularly good and just
the fashionable in imported wear?'
That's the invariable experience; the
imported woolens are always pushed at
us. Why shouldn't we be making IS
good woolens as anybody else?
Cant we make them? Of course we
can; and now that we are in the way
of having to do it, we will, see if we
don't"

the future need to make frenzied ap-
peals to the National Government ID
pass irrational laws to help us out Of
our folly,
80 In the event cotton should go to
10 cents, and the other states will nor
join US, We can suspend the law one
year now and then, and do our best to
help raise 2O,O0O,OO0 bale crop. We
might pool our South Carolina crop
and sell it year in advance and quit
gambling on an uncertainty. This is
only suggestion. We wish the best
thinkers, the best lawyers, and the
best business men of the South to COLI
centrate on this subject and let us have
the benefit of your thought.
90 For more than 125 years the
constitution of the United States, in the
plastic hands of our supreme court,
has yielded, bent and conformed Itself
to every need of our national life, from
the notification act to controlling
trusts. If cotton acreage control was
proper subject for congress 20
handle, l have no doubt our supreme
court could find in that ancient docu-
ment plenty of evidence to support the
law. If our state constitutions a"a
only half as elastic as that of the Unit
ed States we have plenty of authority
for state regulation of cotton acreage.
10) With state warehouse receipt,
so sound and so strong that we can
draw money from all over the world to
help finance cotton, after it's made AMI
with state control of acreage, so We
will never in the future pile up an IN
manageable surplus, the South will
easily become the greatest agricultural
section on the face of the earth.

Laugh and Be Merry.

Laugh and be merry; remember be-
ter the world with song,
Better the world with a blow in the
teeth of wrong.
Laugh, for the time is brief, thread
the length of a span;
Laugh and be proud to belong to the
old proud pageant of man.
Laugh and be merry; remember, ia
olden time,
God made Heaven and Earth for joy
He took in rhyme;
Made them, and filled them full with
the strong red wine of his mirth,
The splendid joy of the stars; the
joy of the earth.
So we must laugh and drink from the
ueep Dlue cup OF the SKY,
Join the jubilant song of the great
stars sweeping by;
Laugh and battle and work, and drink
of the wine outpoured
In the dear green earth, the sign Of
the joy of the Lord
Laugh and be merry together, like
brothers akin,
Guessing awhile in the rooms of q
beautiful inn,
Glad till the dancing stops and the
lift of the music ends;
Laugh till the game is played; and
be you merry, my friends.

STATE CONTROL OF COTTON
ACREAGE.

AChLAULs
For the purpose of arousing though
and discussion l suggest the following
plan for legislation.
Require each Land Owner between
July LIST and July 18th, to make re-
turn under oath as follows:
Total acreage in --- County.
Total acreage in cultivation.
Total acreage planted in cotton.
Enact law as follows: Whereas cot
ton in this state is the basis of our In
dustrial and Commercial Life. Whereas
for about One Hundred Years our very
civilization has been founded and built
on the success or failure of the colt IN
crop, and, whereas a surplus of about
five million bales, brought about by tn
European war, now threatens loss an
ruin not only to the farmers but to ev.
cry other business interest in this
state, and whereas, believing this loss
and ruin can be prevented to our Cit
liens, by reducing the cotton acreage,
and whereas under the Police Power
Ct this state, to enact Laws for the gem
eral welfare of her citizens, and to i'm
pose penalty to enforce such police
authority:
Be it enacted that it shall be unlaw-
full for any person in this state to plart
exceeding one third the land he actual
ly cultivates in cotton.
Anyone violating the provisions Of
this act shall be fined $500 for every
acre planted in violation of this Law,
and if survey is made to determine
the violation of this act, and anyone is
found to have exceeded the acreage al
lowed by law, he shall in addition pay
the cost of survey, the damages fixed
ty this act shall constitute first mort
gage on all cotton produced by persons
violating this law, and such fine be
paid into ordinary county fund.
The Township assessing board shall
pass on cotton acreage returns, and
shall have power to employ surveyor
and determine, when thought nece5-
sary, if anyone is planting in violation
Of this act.

That some day, when we're going to do

That some day, when We'll say the
OF kindness we've so oft deferred
To some poor life that plods along
With little sun and little song;
Or take our roses to some life
Forlorn along the road of strife
For beauty and the want of things
To help it lift its futtering wings
That some day, will It ever come,
When we shall rise and go our way
At summons of the signal drug
Take up the many things we lay
Aside to do and see them done,

But conscious of its beauty-fnd
