Uncle Sam should not only
prohibit the shipment of war
munitions to Europe, but it
should prohibit the expectation
wheat and other food products.
The American people should
be protected against the extra
high price prevailing in the flour
market. 1t is only a question of
time before the cotton growers
Of the South will be compelled
to Pay $40. 60 per barrel for flour.
The only relief for the South
along this line is for Uncle Sam
to prohibit the expectation Of
flour while the war continues.
Progressive Mississippian.
Bosh! Uncle Sam has tried
the embargo business once, and
while his ships rotted in the
harbCrs and his foreign trade
went to the spooks, other nations
grew fat off his terrapin policy.
1t is unfortunate for the South
that we must buy our bread, but
that is no reason why we should
want to deprive the other fellow
Of his free and open market.
Every man has a moral right to
sell what he has anywhere he
can for all he can get.
It is our opinion that our Uncle
Sam should say plainly to John
Bull that lis interference with
our ships must stop, and if it is
not done tEey should be provided
with a naval escort and given
tie protection Of the flag they
fly.
A little more than a hundred
years ago, our dear old uncle,
then a mere boy, had to fight
Johnnie for this very reason. Ii
may come again if We undertake
to haul in our sails and let our
cousins across the POND do as
they like with our shipping.

tUl the soil
II appears 70 US that two
mighty factors are working to-
gether 70 make the planting Of q
fIlI cotton crop very %percarious
undertaking. The Franco-Ger
man war lasted about two years.
The Germans captured Paris In
that war in about six months.
This time, at the end Of six
months, Paris Gems to be very
mach in the hands Of the French.
Then we may expect the present
war TO last as long as the war
back in the 70's, If not longer.
Besides the crop Just harvested
was a record breaker. Either
Of these makes a reduction Of
the crop necessary if the price is
to be brought up to a figure that
will mean a profit 10 the pro
ducer.
Then there is another factor
that enters into the situation in
this Immediate territory. The
boil Wecyil cane in here last fall
for the first time in such num-
berS as : be distinctly felt in
the rrooution Of a crop. The
last gjrnprs report shows a de-
crease 10 this county over last
year Of 1925 bales, or a little
n efe than one-fourth. Most Of
this loss is directly attributable
to the ravages Of the weevil.
Just what he will do the coming
year is mathematical Ifweath-
er conditions favor lin the cot
ton larmer is simply looking
ruin in the face.
Some persons. with more hope
than know.edga. think that the
recent cold weather has killed
