u. S. HAS BIG CHANGE.
Great Opportunity for America After
Wnr-The Financial Part.

In signed article on "America's
Opportunity" published in the cur
rent number Of the General Fedora
Ition Magazine. which represents the
General Federation Of Womens
Clubs. President Wilson declares
that "a new problem Of disunion,
more subtle, more difficult to meet
with direct checkmate and correction
than the old problem which culmi-
mated in the War Between the Sec
tions, has engaged and disturbed our
thought. We have realized that we
must devote a new energy and ardor
to binding together the forces which
will produce a new union, a union Of
spirits triumphant over every alien
force and sympathy"
The President predicts in his arti-
Gle that the United States will be the
chief financial reliance Of the world
after the war. Discussing the future
Of the country, he says:
"In the first place her resources
are unimpaired. Not only has the
war and all it's attendant circum-
stances made no hurtful drain upon
her men or her materials; it has en-
hanced her skill and added to her
resources, because OF the very cir
cumstances of her situation-cut off
from her usual trade with many
parts Of the world and called upon
to supply what she never supplied
before not only to the nations en-
gagged in the great struggle, but also
to her own people.

Make Hay While the Sun Shines.

Forestall the big feed bills and
lean cattle this winter by cutting all
available grass plots about the farm
for hay.
Indications arc that meal and
hulls will be out Of sight this fall.
Even a poor quality Of hay has as
much feeding value as cotton seed
hulls, and cows will readily eat it
in the winter months.
For those farmers who have not
planted their stubble lands in COW
peas, now is good time to make
these loafing acres give good re-
turns by cutting the crabgrass, rag
weeds, or other volunteer grass or
weeds and saving it for winter for
age.
Leaving the value Of tho hay out
Of consideration, 1t is worth while to
cut the grass and weeds off the soil
because this leaves 1t in better shape
for planting small Grains and clovers
this fall.

mitted suicide by shooting himself

AUGUST COST MILLION BALES
Decrease in Cotton Crop, Says De-
IMrtnent Of Agriculture.

Washington, Sept. 1.-Further de-
tcrtoration Of tho growing cotton
crop during August has reduced the
estimated final production By 1,1lG,-
600 bales to total Of 100000
bales. That forecast Of production
was made to-day by the Department
Of Agriculture, basing its calcula-
tions on the condition of the crop
on August 25th.
The condition of the crop on Au-
gust 25 was G1.2 per cent of nor
nal compared with 1928 last month,
6?.2 last year and 1875 the average
for the last ten years on August 25.
The crop of l1,S00,0O0 bales COM
pares with 12,916,00O bales fore
cast from July 25 condition reports
and l4,266,0OO bales forecast from
conditions existing June %. Last
years production was 11.la1,S2O
bales, two years ago 16,l34,a3O,
three years ago IA, ,16i !S6, and fu, l.
y
heavy storms caused damage to the
crop, causing loss IN production
calculated at l,35O,00D bales.
Weather conditions during August
were not the best for cotton. In parts
Of the belt there was too much rain
and in others the weathe' was too
hot and dry, and there was a lack of
rainfall. Toward the end of the
period there was some Improvement
in central and northeastern dis
tricts, but the crop was in a very un-
satisfactory condition in practically
all of the Gulf States. Excessive
heat was making rapid progress diff
ficult In picking in Arkansas, al
though this work was making salts
factory progress in the remainder Of
the cotton States.
In statement summarizing con-
ditions the department said:
August was unfavorable for cot
ton In almost all sections of the cot
ton belt. In the western section the
crop deteriorated severly in Oklaho-
ma and Texas because of extreme
drought over large areas, which
caused the plant to stop fruiting and
shed. Weevils damaged the crop
considerably in Eastern and Southern
Texas, Southern Arkansas, Western
Florida and Southwestern Georgia
and disastrously in Mississippi. Ala
bama and portions of Louisiana.
Much Of the crop in Southern Mis-
sissippi and Alabama. because Of
rain and weevil damage, will require
from 10 to 20 acres Of land to pro-
duce bale Of cotton. In the Caro-
linas and Georgia hot sunshine fol-
lowing the July rain on the sappy
plant caused much shedding.
Lack Of fertilizer, which was
leached from the soil by the July
rains, or withdrawn by grass and
weeds, was shown by the appearance
Of the plant, which seems to have
reached maturity with small stalk
and a lack Of fruit. There are many
grassy fields in the Eastern States.
Catcrpillars are reported in Texas.
Louisiana, Florida and Georgia, but
have done no damage as yet.
"Picking is general over the south
crn half Of the belt. and even in Ok
lahoma, where there is much pre-
mature opening. Virginia, Tennes-
see. Northwest Mississippi, Eastern
Arkansas and Missouri have good to
splendid crops Of cott0n.'

Better Methods, Better Schools, Bet
ter Farming.

Farm life is improving and will con-
tlnue to improve as long as an intel
ligent and united effort continues to
be made by those engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits to bring about better
farming and better living on the farm.
Better schools, churches, oranges and
community organizations are coming
and are bringing better farming as
we'll as making greater prosperity
possible. The movement will be last
ing because the children are being
trained to produce more and better
crops and to increase the productivity
of their farms by rotation of crops,
use of good seed, fertilizers, and bet
ter cultural methods, and to appre-
ciate the possibilities in farming and
in the enjoyment of the greater happi-
ness ard prosperity on the farm
