Whether anything is done to relieve
the cotton situation or not and no mat
ter what may be done, it is good busi-
ness for the farmers to do what they
can to raise their own supplies. 1t is

things of that sort Even if Europe
was not disturbed by war it would be
good business to do these things, and

Shortly after the breaking out Of the
European war; the price of crimson
clover seed was advanced to eight dol
lars a bushel. A farmer who lives
near Yorkville, had contracted with a
Charleston firm for 100 bushels at $4.2O,
but after the advance commenced, the
Charleston firm claimed that it was
unable to fill the order and sent only
fifteen bushels. Since then the price of
crimson clover seed has fallen to $500,

not only to national banks in cotton
states, but other sections of the coun-
try. 1t must be remembered that the
issuance of this so-called emergency
currency rests by law solely within
the discretion of the secretary of the
treasury. I shall not knowingly eX-
ercise that discretion in favor OF any
bank or banks which fail TO make use
of it at reasonable rates of interest,"
for the benefit of the commerce ana
business of the country. A decidedly
encouraging development in the cot
ton situation is the resumption of the
export shippers from Galveston. These
reports with others from New YORK,
indicate that the foreign demand FOR
cotton is reasserting itself and that II

The cotton mills have reduced their
offers for cotton slightly evidently be-
cause there was so little selling at 3
cents and thereabouts. This move is
suggestive OF the we'll known theory
that farmers are quicker to sell on
falling than on a rising market.

No cotton at all should be plant
ed in 1915, in the opinion of the ma
jority of the members of the Missis-
sippi division of the Southern Cotton
association in convention at Jackson.
Miss, last Tuesday. The fifty dele
gates to the general cotton conven-
ton to be held in New Orleans, Sep
tember 90, will be instructed to place
that recommendation before the con-
vention. The planters took this stand
because they said they believed cotton
left from last year and the surplus
expected this year, would supply the
world for more than Il year. To cease
planting for Il year also would be the
best method of stamping out the boil
wcevil and other cotton pests. They
will ask the New Orleans convention
to urge every governor to call spe-
cial session of the state legislatures
to pass laws prohibiting planting in
1915. The delegates also were in
structed to ask the convention to
adopt a uniform plan to hold 25 per

INCREASE THE LAND VALUES
Strong Argument In Favor Of Good
Roads Is That They Enhance Value
Of Bordering Farms.

It takes all kinds Of arguments to
interest the numerous types Of men
found in every community in public
improvements. One man will sanction
and work for good roads when he Is
convinced that they will shorten and
expedite the haul OF some special crop
that he produces. Another will assist
because he owns q motorcar. One OF
the most effective arguments is that
good roads will enhance the value Of
farms bordering upon them, says
Breeders Gazette.
Several real estate dealers In Iowa
have begun to advertise land as To-
Gated zen the Lincoln Highway" Ex:
perience has shown that this is q
strong talking point" OF course
the great national road is not fin
ished, but it is already famous, and
since It will steadily increase In his
toric interest many properties abut-
ting it will probably acquire an aug
mented selling value. Unfortunately
only a small percentage Of farms are
located on the Lincoln Highway, but
that thoroughfare marks the inaugu-
ration in this country Of the old-world
attitude toward convenient and pleas
ant highways and byways as means
of soeializing and upbuildiIg large
hearted, broad-minded citizenship.

Rifle Wounds.

Wouuding an enemy in war is bet
ter than killing him, for unless he IS
captured it imposes on his side the
burden of taking care of him. The
Balkan war has again proved that the
bullet Of the modern high-power rife
with it's terrific speed will 60 straight
through a man, penetrating the most
vital organs, without killing him; and
it has even been found to go through
from four to six men, one behind the
other. This puts them out of the
fight, but at the same time it IS a
good thing for the fighter, for it gives
him a far better chance for his life.

A Durable Stone cuIvert.

the road tax should not be used for
putting the highways in good condi-
ton for travel, says Northwestern Ag-
riculturist. The split log drag and
other road.mahng implements should
be put to work before the ground
freezes. The outside OF the roads
should be brought into the center OF
the track which will establish a crust
that will shed tie water, rather than
retain rains, which are sure to occur
during the late fall and early spring
months. Roa6s having full-mgh cen
ter are quite sure to remain in good
condition during the rainy season OF
fall and spring. Steep hills, where va
ter is apt to collect In wheel tracks,
should be provided with open cutters
on each side into which rains may be
diverted with an occasional crest over
which water cannot pass. Approaches
to bridges and culverts should be so
filed with earth that vehicles Of all
kinds may pass over them without
serious jolts and jars. Roads are much
improved when covered with gravel.
This is season Of the year when such
work can be accomplished at mini.
mum expense. Every township should
own gravel pits from which road:ma'
king material can be cheaply obtained.
Concrete roads will soon become pop
ular. The same material only should
be used In making small bridges and
culverts. A good quality Of sand and
gravel is necessary to make service
able concrete. Every farmer should
have special interest In all roads ad'
joining his premises and leading to
market

The friends Of a certain senator say
that, although it is admitted that some
one used senate stationery to promote
a mining scheme, it is very unjust to
