SAVE COTTON SEED FOR
SPRING PLANTING

Just because cotton seed are
bringing about twice as much as
they usually do, farmers must not
overlook the fact that next year s
planting seed should be saved.
The high prices now tend to cause
a much larger proportion Of the
seed crop to be placed on the
market this fall. and as a conse-
quence there will be shortage
next year. It is also suggested
that farmerDhavin9 exceptionally
good seed may find it advantag-
eOus to save more than enough to
fill their own needs. since there
should be ALREADY sale for the
surplus in the spring to other
planters. The farmer planning
to save just enough for his own
needs should take into considera-
ton possible replanting require
ments.-L. s. y. Press Bulletin.

Washington. Nov. 29.-Ambas
sador Gerard conferred with
President Wilson late today and
received final instructions on
views to be presented to the Ger.
man government regarding the
deportaiin of fcfgians and sub
marine warfare.
No written communications
have been given the ambassador
but Mr.. wilson outlined to him
fully the attitude IF the Ameri-
can government toward pending
issues. The President is under
stood to have emphasized the tn
favorable impression created
here by Germany's treatment of
the Belgians and to have rcite-
rated that the United States had
said its last word OH submarine
warfare and expected Germany
to live up to her pledges.
After spending an hour with
the President, Mr.. Gerard left for
New York. He plans to sail FOR
Berlin December ), if his private
business permits. :.
During the day the ambassa-
dor went to the State Department
for final conference with Secre-
tary Lansing, and also talked
with Secretary Daniels and other
officials.
While Mr.. Gerard would not
discuss the matter for publication,
he is said to have informed the
President that Germany un-
dOubtedly is ready for peace on
terms satisfactory to her.
Whether the ambassador will
have conference in New York |
with Colonel r. M. House before !

THE NEWS PRINT SITUATION

The increasing seriousness ol
the news print situation is attested
by the announcement of the news
papers of Rittsburg and Buffalo
two of the largest cities in the
country. that they are compelled
to double their prices.
The newspapers Of the two cit
les are among the strongest and
best IN the country. They are OF
large circulation and they have
heretofore been prosperous. But
thev have had to meet heavy adj
vances in the cost of their white
paper, they have had great diff
cultv in getting enough of it t."
issue their editions and the only
a2emedv left has heen to advance
the pricc at which they sell their
finished product to the public.
With every other element en-
tering into the making of a news
paper also increasing in cost. the
astonishing thing IS that news
papers all over the country have
not already taken action in line
with that Of the Buffalo. Pitts
burg, Atlanta. st. Louis and 9th
er newspapers :and it is credit
able to their pluck that in so
manv instances thev are either

THE BALKAN SURPRISE.

OF all the surprises of the wa:
that which is now almost far
accompli in the Balkans is tie
most striking. Apparently only
a miracle can avert the caninc
of Bucharest by the General Pow
ers and the elimination OF the
wedge between them and the
Turks and Bulgarians.
! Yet, when Rumania entered the
war a few lponths ago, the doom
of German influence in the Bal
kans seemed to be sounding, and
with it the subjugation of Tur-
KEY and Bulgaria by the Allies,
the final push of the Bears claw
to Constantinople and the nlti-
mate defeat of Germany seemed
sure.
No one. of course, must dclude
himself with tie idea that this su-
preme evidence Of Tcutonic skill,
grit and resources means that the
war is over or that sooner or later
Germany is sure to win it. The
Allies probably will shut their
teeth the harder and prepare AL
the more dctcrminedlv to pro-
long the struggle. But one can
not help but he impressed by this
renewed example Of blunderinc
incompetency on the part Of those
who arc managing the Allies side
of the war.
