servants In the homes of the well-to-

servants we're discharged 1t would in

pendent upon the community for SUD-
port.
The same may be true of business
men and concerns employing o num-
Der of persons to do their work. It
may seem that business does not war

MORE WHEAT SENDS cerTeS UE

There is something significant In
the, fact that every Southern State
according to the census figures. has
very largely increased its acreage In
winter wheat this year. and 1t is in
teresting to note that the increase is
largest In South Carolina. where it
amounts to 200 per cent. No doubt
the splendid prices that are being re-
ceived for wheat this season. togeth-
er with the conviction thut the wheat
fields Of Russia are likely I o ts bat
tlefields during q year or more to
como. has had o great deal to do with
this tendency In the South. Another
factor. OF course. il the low price of
cotton. and the ~forceful object lesson
that has been afforded during the past
few months Of the danger Of the one
crop system OF the South.
The announcement OF the census
bureau Of the large increase in wheat
acreaseage In the South also had an
effect upon the price of. cotton, es-
pecially for future delivery. The inan-
cial page Of the New York Times. in
referring to q slight advance in the
price OF cotton q day or two, car
rfed this significant statement:
1.-THE turn in sentiment Is due chief
ly to the showing made by the gov
ernment report on the acreage for
Winter wheat published last Thurs
day. This indicated that there had
been q gain throughout the cotton
states OF 1900. 900 acres. This area is
regarded as lost to cotton and is taken
as an evidence OF reduction Of cotton
acreage"
The tremendous crop of cotton THE
year would kave been almost certain,
even in the absence of the war, to
have caused. q lowering Of the aver
age price OF the last few years, and
that lowering OF the price would have
had q tendency TO cause q reduction
In the crop In 1915. But the very sharp
decline. that has been experienced Is
Que chiefly. OF course, to the war. The
yorld's demand for raw cotton has
been practically cut In half. and the
foreign damand for several years to
come is going to be somewhat I'M
certain.
At is written, the South shall not
live by cotton alone. but by every gift
that ~rroceedeah from the lap OF boun-
ttul Nature. I tbs the duty OF the
|Soathern farmers to accept theys
gifts, for our climate and our soil
place them within, BUR easy reach.
