COTTON SITUATION IN TEXAS
Should Be Settled Policy Of Southern
Farmers to Emancipate Them
selves From One-Crop Bondage.

Texas has produced about four mil
lion bales Of cotton this year. The
acreage is about five per cent smaller
than last year, but the yield is greater.
Prospects are not bright for the mar
keting of the crop and the people Of
Texas are doing what they can to re
lieve the situation for the planters by
buying BALE by the "wear-cotton.
goods" movement and by other expedi-
ents.
These methods of boosting cotton
may have some little effect on the
situation, but when they shall have
run their course Texas still will have
a big cotton crop on hand along with
remnants of the last years produc-
ton, says Louisville Courier-Journal
This also will be the case in other
Southern states where the tendency
has been to spread" on cotton and to
"skimp" on other products. When
cotton is low or is not selling readily
the South necessarily feels the pinch
of financial stringency. The remedy
was set forth in the recent advice of
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
when he said that it should be the set
tied policy of the southern farmers
helceforth ito emancipate themselves
from one-crop bondage"

REALLY NO ANSWER POSSIBLE
carter's Explanation Sufficient, Though
It May Not Have Satisfied An
noyed Tourist.

Arran is still the haunt of the walk
ing tourist, says the Glasgow News,
but summer days are sometimes al
most too warm to be comfortable for
the pedestrian, as two middle-aged
sightseers recently discovered.
On the outskirts of Whiting bay
they rested by the wayside; then, di-
vesting themselves of jackets and
waistcOats, they crawled up the steep
incline of Dippin, and then on to Kill
DOMAIN. When they came to put on
their waistcoats and jackets, one Of
the men discovered that his waistcoat
had been left behind at the place
where they had rested. He reluctant
ly turned his steps toward Whiting
bay. On the way he met a carter, who
asked:
Are you looking for a waistcoat,
sir?"
yes, my man." replied the pedes-
trian, hopefully, have you got it,
mo; but | saw it on the grass at
the black rocks"
why didn't you bring 1t with you?'
Numbered the other
'Weel. We see. sir, | didna just ken
which way ye had gone"
The Arran natives are adept in the
simple retort. The rest was silence.

0NE-CR0P SYSTEM RESULTS
Southern Farmer Reapinq Inevitable
Consequences In an Impoverished
Soil and Small Yields.

The present agricultural troubles Of
the South are not due to our crops.
soils or climate, but to a faulty sys-
TEN. Such a system has always
tailed, not so much, however, because
OF overproduCtion, or that all the eggs
have been in one basket, as that a one
crop system always means poor soil
and low crop yields,
IL we had a reasonable assurance
that every acre planted in oats would
produce fifty to sixty bushels. every
acre in corn forty to fifty bushels. and
every acre in cotton d bale of 500
pounds, we could snap our fingers at
slX-cent cotton, feeling confident OF
prosperity in times of war as well as
in times OF peace.
II our present troubles, whatever
hardships they may have in store for
us. lead to a system of agriculture
which will build up soil fertility, the
sacrifices may not be too great. For
one year, or for even a short term OF
years, cotton must sell for very low
price, indeed, to make 1t less attract.
I've from purely ready-cash stand
point than any other crop available;
but no system which does not produce
rich and productive soil can ever
protect us against times like these.
Any cotton farmer can show beyond
any argument that cotton is the best
money crop for the South. In fact,
he can show with unanswerable fig.
ures wherein it will pay to plant cot
ton and buy feed and food supplies. so
long as cotton brings eight or ten
cents a pound; but a serious fact
stands squarely against his theory. We
have planted cotton and bought sup
plies and the records show that dur
ing the so years we have followed that
system our yields have averaged rs
pounds of cotton, less than twenty
bushels of corn and not over twenty
bushels of oats per acre.
And now, when cotton prices make
such a yield. even of so good a crop
as cotton, Improbable, we are left
stranded, because in following the one
crop system we are reaping it's inev-
liable consequences in an impover-
ished soil, ignorance of how to make
other crops, and the absence of estab-
| lished markets and marketing sys-
TENS for these crops. If we had rich
soil we could overcome all other diff
culties. No country with a rich soil,
if owned by the men who till it, is
ever in danger of serious financial or
business disaster.-Progressive Farm

IF HAIR Is TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darker and Beautify
Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew Of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. Adv.

TO CURTAIL COTTON ACREAGE
Southern Farmers Accept Warning Of
Secretary McAdoo in Regard to
Diversification Of Crops.

Secretary McAdoo's warning to the
southern farmers regarding the diver
sification of their crops will doubtless
be needed, according to Walter A.
Hildebrand, owner and editor of the
Greensboro Daily News and other
North Carolina papers, while in Wash
ington the other day.
Even without the suggestion from
the secretary OF the treasury as head
of the federal reserve board, think
the cotton planters of the South were
inclined to curtail their cotton acreage,
and plant other crops next year."
said Mr.. Hildebrand. 1T seems almost
impossible to conceive that the Euro
pean war could have any good result;
yet ultimately, | believe, it will confer
a lasting benefit on the South, because
1t will bring about that desideratum so
earnestly urged by Mr.. McAdoo and
others-the diversifcation of crops
In my part of North Carolina there is
not a great deal of cotton raised, but
there are many cotton mills and other
lines Of industry directly affected by
the cotton situation.
in the furniture business, for in
stance, there has been a marked de-
preston, traceable to the condition of
the cotton market There is no better
barometer than the furniture business.
People will get along without new
furniture If they are cramped for
money before they will do without al.
most anything else, and the furniture
manufacturers have been complaining
that there has been a decided de-
crease in their business.
THE business situation generally
however, is looking up. All around are
evidences of revival, and with the
distribution of the immense cotton
loan fund just completed, there ought
to be, and doubtless will be, big i'm.
petus given to all lines of industry"
