the banker looks with suspicion
upon such statements, for expe.
rlence has taught him to ask for
expense account. On The other
hand, the farmer who asks for a
loan a few days until he can get
his corn on the market, or his
cattle or hogs, seldom fails to get
what he wants. In the first place
such a man seldom needs to bor-
row money, he has money of
his own. In the second place, if
he borrows he does not have to
reckon with so speculative a
market as the cotton market
when he is ready to sell his corn.

knows it. We are not able to

What shall the farmer think OF
these war times now? He saw
cotton drop from twelve cents to
six cents in three months, then
go from six cents to thirteen
cents in twelve months; and now
on the verge OF planting time

the farmer to plant big crop
he is witnessing gradual de-
cline. The most discouragine
feature of the situation is tha,
there seems to be little hope OF
a rise il price. The facilities for
exporting are still limited. the
cotton on hand is more than ii
ever was at this. season, and the
prospects are that an increased
acreage will be planted this year.
Nothing is more certain in agri-
cultural life than that farmers
swing from one extreme to the
other. We do not know WHY
but only know they do it. All
OF us seem to be made that way
and powerless to correct our
weak tendencies. Last year we
witnessed a substantial curtail-
inent in cotton acreage, with
good results to the farmer. Why
should he not expect similar re.
suits in 1916?
We have never thought it ad-
Nisable to discourage the grow.
iag of anv staple commodity.
Enlarged effort along any line is
to be commended, but the dan.
ger 10 the farmer is the allure
ment of high prices which pre-.
vail only for season. The in
dividual farmer then would do
well to take these things into
consideration. Let the masses

Invite President to Visit Co.ura
b;a

b;a
Washington, Feb. 7.-Senator E.
D. Smith and Congressman Byr
mes today called at the White
House and strongly urged the
president to visit South Carolina
on his trip to the South. They
reminded the president that the
people of Columbia were really
his people and would not be sat-
isfied to have him visit other
parts of the South and leave Col.
umbia out. Upon this showing
the president SAID that he would
give the matter serious consider
alton and that he greatly appre.
clated the invitation which had
been extended him.
There is little doubt now that
a programme for this Southern
trip will be agreed upon within
the next few days, everything
heretofore having been of a
tentative nature.
The president is understood
to have said regarding his recent
Western trip that he was great,
satisfied with it and felt that a
long step had been taken to put
his preparedness plan through
congress.
