Federal Aid in Marketing Cotton.

1t has been long, long time since
southern farmers received as much
consideration at the hands of the gov
ernment officials in Washington as they
are now receiving. Not within our
recollection has any former administra-
tion been so considerate of the South
as is the Wilson administration. AL
ready steps are heiug taken to aid in
marketing the cotton crop. Think of
such action being taken ninety days be-
fore the heavy movement of the crop
begins. The Federal reserve board has
appointed a committee, with w. P. G.
Harding, banker from Alabama, as
chairman, to examine into conditions
in order to determine the best way of
handling the cotton crop of 1915. Here
tofore the cotton growers have to shift
for themselves. The aid which the
reserve board can and will give, indi-
rectly, will be of incalculable benefit
next fall. Further action of the board
will be watched with interest.

Demand For Artificial Limbs.

Along with large orders that are
coming to America from Europe for
war supplies also come numerous or
ders for artificial limbs. The makers
of artificial limbs in France, England
and Russia can not supply 10 per cent.
of the demand. Recently a American
manufacturer of artificial limbs was
invited to confer with European sur
geons and he learned that in Paris and
vicinity alone, there were $4,000 SOL
diers' who had lost one or more limbs, and
tits estimated that in all of the belllger-
ent countries there are even now oO,OOV
men who have had one or more limbs
amputated. This is appalling when
compared to the figures of the civil
War. AS result of the entire four
wears of war there were only ll,ooO
amputated survivors on the Federal
side, and assuming that there were
a like number of the Confederates there
were approximately $4,000 persons in
line for artificial limbs at the close
of the war.

the past three months evidence OF
gradual return to normal business con-

Whiskey and Heat

Inc SCellc WdS SiSSpel vi a
Frisco train between Memphis and
Birmingham. 1t was ii o'clock on
a hot morning in June. The ther-
mometer had registered over 80 for
several days. A fairly fat passenger
sat in the smoking compartment.
He was in his shirt sleeves. By TAX
ing things easy he managed to keep
fairly cool. When the train stopped
at Supelo he bought lunch from
a basket.
DO your sandwiches contain a
whole chicken apieee?" he asked.
''Some of them have half chick
eli" was the reply.
''Then give me one with half a
chicken in it,
He bought his lunch and returned
with it to the smoking compart-
ment.
The butch came along and
sold our fairly fat friend bottle of
non~alcoholic beverage. He opened
his grip; took out full quart OF
whiskey; poured three fingers into
a cup; filled the cup with the pur.
chased beverage, and drank it down.
He offered me pull at his bottle.
declined
; He ate his lunch, inchding the
half chicken. Then he began to
sweat, and the sweat rolled. In half
an hour he was as hot as broiled
lobster, and as wet as dishrag.
Now, why did he do it? He was
not on jag. He did not have
still on" His mind was as clear
as bell. He knew what he was do
ing. 1t was not sociability, or to be
a good fellow, or to be swagger. He
did because it was coming lunch
time and he was of the opinion that
a nice little drink and a lunch would
make him happy, comfortable and
coptented. His judg ment was poor,
and he paid the price.
To drink whiskey on a hot day is
like throwing kerosene on fire.
Within few minutes the whiskey
was circulating in his blood and
burning to form heat. Furthermore
it was sending the blood into the
skin, and an excess of hot blood in
the skin makes one feel better than
he is. Whiskey can not make any
thing but heat and energy, and
when a man sits quietly in a sleep
ing car all the whiskey goes to heat.
Then he added the meat lunch.
There are those who claim that
the act of digesting makes heat.
The best opinion seems to be that,
while the act of digestion does not
eftitself produce heat. in the pro-
cess of digestion, foods, especially
meats, Immediately liberate some
heat. At any rate, after eating the
amount of heat made by the body
increases.
r This man had to spend some hours
in that hot car. He should have
figured on how to keep cool. He
could not get any exercise except
the exercise of breathing, sitting
up, ana a few similar acts. He need
ed little food to repair waste. He
certainly needed no whiskey.
Had he been a man of good judg-
ment he would have gone without
his necessary meal or eaten an ap-
pie or orange and drunk a lemo-
made. He would have drunk about
six glasses of water between break
fast and supper. By following that
plan he would have had a comfort
able ride.-Dr. Evans in The State.

Predatory Wealth a Menace.

Under the new financial system which
will be an enduring monument to the
Woodrow Wilson administration, the
regional reserve banks take from WAL
Street some of the power that it has
welded in the past through the accu-
mutation of almost countless millions
from all parts of the country. Whlie
henceforth the South and West will, in
some measure at least, be able to as
sert their independence, yet the Old
fina ncial system had been in operation
so long that the combined wealth OF a
a few dozen men in New York has be-
come such a power as to be almost able
to defy any new financial system. These
immense fortunes Of predatory wealth
have in their operations upon a colos-
sal scale gained sufficient momentum
to sweep everything before them, be-
coming menace to the country. SO
inconceivably great are the fortunes
of the New York brokers, bankers ana
capitalists that they are no longer ham,
pered to any great extent in their ope-
rations by laws designed to prevent
further advantage resulting from the
congestion of wealth in Wall Street.
The figures recently given out from
the treasury department in Washing
ton, showing the amount of income tax
collected for the fiscal year which closed
June 30 and the amounts paid by States,
enable one to form some idea OF the
unequal distribution of wealth. OF the
s79, 1928, ,675.27 collected last year under
the income tax law, the enormous sum
of $27, ,63s, 766.17 was collected in New
York, while only sl61, ,401.s5 was COL
lected in South Carolina. The relative
wealth of the two States is indicated
by these figures. In fact, the differ
ence is even greater than indicated by
these government figures, for one is
constrained to believe that there are
more income "tax dodgers" in New
York than IN South Carolina.
The preponderance of mills, foundries
and factories of all kinds in the North,
which preponderance was made possl-
Bile by this immense wealth, enables
that section to supply the foreign de-
mand for practically everything except
farm products, which are supplied OF
necessity by the South and West. A
statement given out Monday by j. P.
Morgan & Company, New York bank
ers, showed that this firm alone, acting
for the governments of England and
France. has purchased more than
$500, 600, 900 worth of war supplies. 1t
would be interesting to know what
portion of this large sum of foreign
capital found its way to the South.
Generally we furnish the raw material
at about the cost of production and the
North furnishes the finished product at
an enormous profit.
This advantage which the North has
gained through its accumulated wealth
of the past will delay the coming of
the day when the South can become
an independent people, financially
speaking.

A Good Brood Mare a Most
Valuable Asset.

There is no property as valuable
to farmer as a good brood mare.
She does the work of a mule and
can raise colt each year. Last
year l bought a registered saddle
mare, giving $3.50 for her. She
was in foal by registered stallion
in Kentucky. She foaled a beau.
tiful colt, for which 1 am offered
sl75.
l have known many farmers to
keep one old mule for Is or more
years--and die poor. rather than to
change for brood mare. If you
will show me farmer with pair
of brood mares working on his
farm, nine times out of ten l can
show you farmer that is out of
debt, with a good credit. There
is more profit received from colts
than anything a farmer can raise.
Farmers do not consider the great
value of a high-class jack or regis
tered stallion in each neighbor-
hood. The Southern country pays
out thousands upon thousands of
dollars for horses and mules each
year, when they have the greatest
stock country on earth-short win
ters, cheap barns, and can raise all
kinds of feeds.
Our farmers need only to study
the livestock business, and get busy
and raise more feed and less cotton.

cially The Progressive Farmer; ad-
