LONDON, Oct. 15-AThe Lord Mayors
show, with it's gilded coach and Geor-
gian liveried flunkies in wig and cock
ed hats and it's historian pageant, is
likely to be abandoned this year when
Sir Charles Johnston is installed on
November 8. Nor is the famous ban
quet which should follow in the ev-
ening in the ancient guild hall fav-
ored idea at this time. Thus the two
things that make it worth while to be
Lord Mayor of London will not take
place, according to good authority.
This year the city is the saddest part
of England. The stock exchange Is
closed, business disrupted and a large
part of it's young men have joined the
colors. With money scarce, distress
widespread and men being killed at the
front, a show, pageant and banquet
seem both a waste of money and a
lack of respect for the fallen.

KING COTTON MUST BE
DESERTED FOR CATTLE

With only slight reduction of the
cotton-growing areas farmers can cas-
lily raise sufficient food for their live
stock.
Naturally, provision must be made
for carrying over feed for the stock as
a protection against droughts and a
silo or two should be made on every
farm.
Each state has it's own peculiar diff
fculties which may be worked out sat-
isfactorily by the practical farmer, as
sisted by the agricultural experts sup
ported by the federal and state govern
ments, and they without exception, are
strong advocates of live stock on the
farm.
"Jobbers and merchants can help
this movement wonderfully and it al
most means their salvation to do so.
Live stock, cotton and grain will
forever insure the financial independ-
ence of your state and its citizens"
Views of Banker.
"The demoralized market for cotton
caused by the European war, calls at
tention to the absolute necessity of the
South's going away from the one-crop
idea. AS long as the Southern planter
persists in making cotton his sole sta
pie just so long will he be at the mer-
cy of foreign buyers"
The above prediction is made by
Writ Wright, president of the National
Stock Yards National Bank, at this
point For years Mr.. Wright, whose
bank annually does millions of dollars
worth of business with the South, has

acreage in cotton and devote more

LIVE STOCK IS THE
ONLY SAFE MONEY CROP
The European War Has Taught Cotton
Growers of the South the Utter
FaIlacy of Pinning Their
Faith to One Crop
Especial to Times-Recorder.)


CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-Crop insurance
is feature to be considered always
and there is no better insurance than
an ability on the part of the producer
to market this rop on the shortest pos
sible notice. 1t makes no difference
what the condition may be of devel-
oping live stock, whether it be fat,
habitat or of the feeder variety, the
owner can always dispose of it with no
delay whatever, and can secure for it
its full market value should any I'M
foreseen and urgent necessity arise.
The risk of caring for the stock is no
greater; indeed is not as great as the
risk attendant upon the raising of
other crops. All of the blights and
disaster that may effect live stock have
their counterpart in all other agricul-
tural pursuits. 1t is easier, however,
to get away from disaster in the han
ding of live stock than that of other
crops, for the reason just stated,
and that is, that if there is any chance
at all of moving the stock, it has an
immediate market value and will rem
der an immediate return in proceeds.
For the small farmer, or the farmer of
larger endeayor, a percentage of live
stock on his place means just that
much crop insurance.
President Thos. E. Wilson, of the
large Morris packing interests, bust
ness man of the keenest foresight, and
whose opinion upon problems of vital
interest is valued as authoritative, like
that of James ]. Hill, believes and stat
ed today that the action taken by Nor
ris & company and others in purchas-
ing cotton through the South and the
Southwest at 10 cents a pound, has
offered at best only temporary refsf
from a serious situation. Mr.. Wilson
said:
For years thousands of farmers
throughout the south, as we'll as the
bankers, merchants and other bust
ness men have depended upon cotton
crops.
What happened when Europe be-
came plunged into war is a matter of
serious concern to every business man,
merchant and farmer in the South.
Strange to say the difficulties of
cotton farmers were nowhere reflected
in live stock and grain raising states.
Live stock values did not go to smash,
neither have grain values shown any
downward tendency. Instead, live
stock and grain raisers have found 4
uniformly steady market for their pro-
ducts and have received payment in
cash.
'Now that the cotton states have to
some extent obtained relief what IS
being done to prevent a repetition CT
a similar situation in the future??
To-day, there is:
"a large surplus of cotton and dull,
weak market.
"a worldwide shortage of live stock
and a strong, active demand for cattle,
hogs, sheep and all grains.
"To raise live stock it is essential to
have grains and grasses to sustain
them.
1--WE are not advocating any policy
looking towards the elimination Of
cotton-raising among the farmers, be-
cause cotton is the South's natural
plant, but we do most emphatically
urge that less reliability be placed up
on any one crop, Feed crops necessa-
rily must be raised to feed the live
stock
