COTTON, MONEY CROP.

Acres in cotton: Twenty acres.
Total acres in crops: Forty acres,
two-horse farm.
The farm is divided into two parts.
one-half being devoted to cotton, the
other half to feed for the stock and
food for the family. For the purpose
of the rate sheet, It is assumed that
the yield of cotton will be one.third
of bale per acre, and of corn twenty
bushel an acre. A farm managed in
this way will yield, according to the
bankers, an income of S66i7S with
cotton at Sc pound, and of S69S.0S
with cotton at Toe. On the other hand,
the all.cotton farm, with the same
prices for cotton, viii have an in.
come of only $3.50 or $3.50.
In drawing up these estimates the
labor factor is not considered. al
though the allcotton farm probably
requires more than the food-and.feed
farm. Furthermore, the fact that
twenty acres Of cotton can be worked
more carefully and a greater yield per
acre secured than forty acres, is not
taken into account II is probable,
however, that when only twenty acres
are planted to cotton, a yield Of one
half bale instead Of one.third could
be secured. The food that the food.
and-feed farmer grows for his own
use is credited to him at the same
price that the Affection farmer would
have to pay for IT, The objection that
this food may be more than the
farmers family needs is answered by
the fact that some Of the products
may be exchanged for -four, sugar,
ETC., or that the excess quantity may
be sold or converted into more live
stock.
The system adopted as basis for
credit is not, of course, to be consid-
cred as infexible, or as applicable to
every section Of the cotton States. 1t
does, however, serve as a valuable
guide for determining to what extent
the farmer is conducting his business
on sound principles. It is pointed out
that no bank ever cares 70 foreclose
on mortgages, and that 1t is most i'm

BANK CREDIT CROPS.

The Department OF Agriculture at

make a practice Of loanlng money TO
farmers have adopted, for their own
protection and for the guidance OF
borrowers. what is known as crop

for borrowing and for loaning money:

cause OF Jne failure of several i'm

PERMISSION OF the Commissioner to
postpone the hearing. 1his Was
granted, ana adjournment taken until
rrlaay morning, May 81, at 1920.
Among the numerous points in
Iavor OF the reduced fare in the diff
lerent conversations which were
heard were that the natural five-cent
run was from ferry to ferry; that
residents south OF Palisade junction
we've partlcally debarred from using
Eugewater ferry because of tn
double trolley fare; the fare of ten
cents from Edgewater ferry to Grant
wood, Clitfside, Fairview and so on
was unreasonable; that persons from
these same sections, doing business
with the Edgewater banks and other
concerns, should not be compelled to
pay an eXorbitant trolley fare.
1T was decided to call a public meet
ing, probably at Trinity Church Guild
Hall, for some date next week, notices
of which would be given to the public,
and everyone encouraged to attend.
