Washington, o. O., march 4.--The

Much important legislation was ac-
compished, but much contemplated,
some OF it hard pressed by the Presi-
dent and party leaders, was left un-
done. 1t is the present intention Of
the President and his advisers to give
congress rest. Rather than force an
extra session, they would leave the

congress next winter, which, although
under democratic control, will have a
BTedlly lcuuCSu mdJOilty III thN

Good Advice to Cotton Raisers.

The official census figures of the
cotton crop of 1914 have just been
issued and show among other things
that in the course of the past fifteen
years cotton production has increas-
ed almost twice as rapidly as world
spindleage. If, therefore, the cot
ton growers of the South wish to
see the price of cotton go up and
stay up, there is only one thing for
them to do and that is continue to
reduce the acreage in cotton. Under
any conditions there is a limit, of
course, to the price which cotton
can command. That limit has never
been reached, however, and will not
be reached until the cotton growers
of the United States learn how to
regulate the supply in accordance
with the demand. Not even the
most perfect system of warehouses
can save the South from the con-
sequences of continued over-produc-
tion.-NeWs and Courier.

Our Prosperous Country.

The federal crop estimates for
1915 figure out about ninety-six
bushels of wheat and 2S0 bushels of
corn for every man, woman and
child in the United States. This,
along with the barley, rice, potatoes,
apples. peaches, plums, cabbage,
oranges, lemons, onions, beets, tur-
nips, peas. watermelons, muskmelons,
cherries. eggs, chickens, steaks, chuck
roasts, ham. bacon, fitch, pigs feet,
souse, butter, milk, cream, fish sar-
dimes, deer, squirrels, pheasants,
partridges, dew, buckle. rasp, straw,
older, goose and other berries. cur
rants, cheese, nuts and a vast lot
more earables of various kinds, all
of which Mother Nature lav;shly
provides for our national table
these will enable Americans to wor-
ry through the coming hard winter
with good deal of comfort and sat-
isfaction, and leave something be-
sides for the Belgians and other
half-starved and suffering peoples
on the far side of the Atlantic.
The people of the United States
should be very thankful for and hap
py over the more than plenty which
they enjoy, and they ought to feel
the same way about their preserva-
ton thus far from the awful war
that is rending the nations of Europe
and laying upon their shoulders a
burden that will continue for gen.
erations.
When one thinks Of the blessed
condition Of Americans today, under
the rule of peace, and how all of
this could be transformed by war
into terrible misfortune, it should
strengthen many times over their
determination not to engage in a
bloody conflict, if possible to avoid
it with honor.-PHtsbury Dispatch.
