ABILITY. NOT QUANTITY,
 PAYS IN FARMING

No farmer gets rich by the quan- tity of production. It is the price he gets for his products and economy and business judgment displayed in management that makes the farmer wealthy.
 We cannot pass law that will in crease the price of products or reduce the cost of blowing the land and mar keting the crop. We must depend up- on factories and transportation facili- ties for marketing our products and upon improved mechanical appliances and the business ability of the farmer to reduce the cost of production, and to more inteligently market his pro- ducts.

First Signs of Recovery from Paraly sis that struck Cotton Market Af- ter Declaration of the War
 Worst May Be Over.

Little Rock, Sept 21.-One of the first signs of recovery from the para lysis that struck the cotton market soon after the declaration of war in Europe was the resumption of cotton quotations on the Little Rock Board of Trade today. It is believed that the worst is now over, and that the sit uation is to be handled satisfactorily Great interest is expressed in the cot ton convention which has been called for Sept. go, by Gov. Hays. The Lit tie Rock Buy-a-Bale Committee has raised the minimum from to 10 cents, and the purchases are boring in from all over the country.

NO BREAD FAMINE IN
 UNITED STATES THIS YEAR

Washington, D. C., Sept. 21.-There will be no bread famine in the United States this year. The largest wheat crop in history has just been harvested and according to the United States Department of Agriculture, the total production is approximately 911,000,- 900 bushels; nearly 150,000,000 bushel more than any previous year produced in the United States. We have at least 250,000,000 bushels of wheat which are not needed for consumption at home or for seed The surplus pro- duction of the United States usually goes to Europe, but under the pres ent conditions, caused by the Euro pean war, this cereal cannot cross the ocean. About 75,000,000 bushels have already been taken for export, but most of it is being held at the ports of departure.
 Conditions across the water are not so encouraging. War in Europe tends to prevent the shipment of wheat from surplus European countries to those which need imports-for ex- ample-from Russia to France, and famine there seems inevitable.
