1t is estimated that every time a
big gun is fired in the European war
a bale of cotton is consumed in the
powder used. Great Britain says
that the increase in cotton exported
to the neutral European countries
practically amounts to as much as the
loss occasioned by the embargo on
cotton to Germany. Taking these
two facts into consideration, it would
certainly seem that the farmers might
hope for a good price for cotton. II
cotton is worth Is to 20 cents a
pound in Europe, and if there is as
much shipped to the neutral coun-
tries now as to the same countries
and Germany combined before the
war, somebody must be making mil
lions at the expense of the producer.

It appears to be a pretty general

It appears to be a pretty general
concensus of opinion among those
who ought to know that the people
need not expect much more prosperi-
ty this year than iast-unless, OF
course, peace is concluded. which is
not likely in the near future. Wheth-
er it be true that conditions will not
be improved we do not know, but we
do feel sure that the people will be
better prepared for adverse condi-
tions this fall than last. In Bam-
berg county the farmers will live at
home. This year they have hogs for
their own meat, and many will have
meat to sell. They have wheat for
their flour, they made big crop OF
oats and forage, and planted plenty
of corn. And while neither the oat
nor corn crop will turn out as we'll
as hoped for, the increased acreage
will doubtless more than make up
this difference. Cotton promises a
good yield compared to the expense
of making it. and while the price
they will get will in all probability
be low, there will not be the usual
big fertilizer bills TO pay. In other
words the average farmer has pre-,
pared for the conditions he saw star
