INSPIRATION Of
THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural de-
partment of the county fair, you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on a new power-that is the inspira.
ton of the soil. You are overpowered
by the grandeur and magnificence Of
the scene-that Is the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice of
nature calling you back to the soil
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. 1t is a good chance to spend a
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection of nature and to sweet
en- your life with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with its power.
These products as food are fit for
the gods, and as an article of COM
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products of the soil are teachers
and preachers as we'll. Their beauty
gives human life its first entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
in artists; their purity furnishes mod
els for growth of character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the won
derful process of nature.
Before leaving the parlor of agricul-
ture where nature is parading in her
most ora oaf,,1 ottira aud sniopna 10
climbing the giddy heights of perfec-
ton, let us pause and take a retro
spective view. How many Of you
know that after these wonderful prod
ucts are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at a profit? Take the blush
ing liberia, for example-they were
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year. The onion-the nations favorite
vegetable-every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want of a
market and as result hundreds Of
farmers have lost their homes. Cot
ton-natures capitalist-often goes
begging on the market at less than
cost of production.
It is great to wander through the
exhibits while the band is playing
Dixie" and boast of the marvellous
! fertility of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but
it is also well to remember that there
is market side to agriculture that
does not reflect its hardships in the
exhibits at county fair.

COTTON A PROBLEM
THAT KEEPS BRITAIN
VERY MUCH WORRIED;
NO SOLUTION LIKELY
FIVE NATIONS READY TO SUPPL =
HER ENEMY, GERMANY, WITH
ALL OF THE RAW STAPLE RE-
QUIRED-SUBJECT STILL ONE OF
DEEP CONCERN TO ENGLAND.

LONDON, Aug. 12.-"There is no
such thing as complete solution OF
the cotton problem" declares the
Times in long article discussing the
purchase of the American crop by
Great Britain, and then "raJioning" OF
necessary supplies to neutrals under
strict government supervision.
Germany has as her near neigh
bors," explains the Times, the five
neutral states of Holland, Denmark,
Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.
These states have rights which we
cannot ignore.
But we may just complain when We
find them importing from II to Is
times as much cotton as they need for
their domestic consumption and ex-
porting the surplus, or large part OF
it, to the enemy, who cannot obtain
it elsewhere, who cannot produce it
himself, and to whom constant sup
ply of this indispensable raw material
is vital to his military strength
What the British government has
done is to seek way out by series
of friendly and private agreements.
All cotton entering Holland, for in
stance, is liable to seizure unless it
is consigned to the Netherlands Over
sea Trust, which is under heavy bonds
to prevent its re-export to Germany,
In Sweden an arrangement has more
recently been made with an association
of cotton spinners with the object OF
limiting the importation of cotton into
that country to the needs of it's do
mestic manufacturers. This seems to
be the only principle that is at once
sound and effective on which we can
proceed. The arrangement with the
Dutch merchants proved anything bit
watertight, largely because il does not
expressly limit the amount Of cotton
that may be imported.
If we were to establish in each of
the northern kingdoms a single re-
ceiving agency to which alone cotton
might be consigned, and if we Wee
definitely to fix the number of bales
that might be imported, using as IA
index the average domestic consumE-
ton Tor perhaps little more) of each
country during the three years before
the war, we should then have gone
some way towards solving this partic-
ular branch of the problem"
