The Southern Cotton Conferenc

cotton acreage Of the South be cut
in half another year. Recommended

GROW WHEAT.

Next year there will be the greatest

prosperity that can not fail to con

a~vocations by next spring-which is
hardly probable from the present out
look-their work will be disorganized.

broken up and scattered, and hundreds
OF thousands OF their former fellow
workers will be in eternity.
II is impossible now for Europe in
many years t repair the damage al
ready done to her agriculture, to re-
gain her recent records of agricultural
production. and these coming short
crops give her markets, to a greater

When the meat is cooled, rub each

RECIPES FOR CTRING

The best way to eat meat is 10 eat
il while it is fresh, for there is no way
OF preserving it that will retain all
the flavor. 1t is, nevertheless, fire.
quently desirable to cure meat at
home, and there is no reason why
this can not be done satisfactorily
and economically. Salt, sugar or mo-
lasses, baking soda, and a little salt
peter are the only ingredients neces-
sary.
Ordinarily the curing OF meat should
be begun from "a TO 36 hours after
the animal is slaughtered. this allows
sufficient time for the animal heat
TO leave the meat entirely, but not

Once the meat is tainted no amount
OF preservatives will bring back its

NOBODY LOVES A RAILROAD.

Congress. no doubt, will adopt
among other means for meeting the
deficit in our revenues, the plan of
taxing freight bills . per cent. That
is. it will raise the rates . per e
to the shipper and the government
will appropriate the increase.
The same day that this report was
being considered the president asked
several of the big railroad men to
meet him to consider the alarming
conditions with which the var had
confronted our railroads, more espec-
tally the eastern lines.
The eastern roads had asked an in
crease of 5 per cent in freight rates
and the interstate commerce commits
sion, after months of delay, handed
down a decision giving them practi-
cally nothing but good advice. From
that time on the railroad situation
has been growing worse and worse,
and when the decrease in traffic, as
a result of the war, was added to
the burden, the situation became al
arming enough to interest the admin
istration.
Congress doubtless thought the
freight rates about the cheapest
thing in the country and decided to
take the raise the interstate commerce
commission would not grant the rail
roads.
If congress can raise the freight
rates, why the commission?
The commission has said the rates
are high enough. 1t should now come
back at the government with another
batch of advise to the effect that If
the government is shy one hundred
million dollars in income it should
hire Brandies to get his efficiency
staff to cut down government ex-
penses hat much.
The truth is we canot have pros
porous times here until the railroads
are prosperous; and if they cannot
get the funds to make betterments
and extensions they will be powerless
to move the traffic which a growing
country will offer when the next pros
porous period arrives. The work of
betterment should be going on now,
but ii will not unless railroad secur-
tiles can be put IN a basis secure
enough to attract the investing pub
lie.
If the public is to pay higher rates
the increase should go to the rail
roads. which certainly need II for the
public good alone and not to the gov
eminent, which could handle its de-
