stock on the farm should be gradually

lagos, towns and cities. My friends, if
we had the agriculture of the South
organized on such simple basis as I
have here outlined, we would still pro-
duce enough cotton, but We would pro-
duce it under conditions which would
not bring the hazard which the all-cot
ton system has always brought us. Our
big crops have often been a menace.

Safe Farming and The South s
Production In The Year 1917
Is The Great Defense Measure

ture in the South. The war in Europe
today is mainly contest for a supply
of food. A country without food and
with an army at its door or navy
blockading its coast is practically con-
quered The strength of the South
years ago was in different system CT
agriculture from what it has now. Cot
ton is a great crop; there is no better
crop to exchange in the markets Of
the world for cash; much can be said
in its favor. but if we raise it and
rothing else we are weak at a time
when we need strength sorely and
strong at times when all goes well.
/ have no patience with this idea
coming from the cities and towns that
the farmers of the United States as
whole should enormously increse the
production of food for the Nation. In
those sections where every farm crop
is food crop and large part OF the
lands are already occupied and titled,
farmers can not seriously disturb their
system or enormously increase their
production without great danger. Agri-
culture readjusts itself slowly and
under such conditions there should be
only such stimulus to production as
the natural tendency of the times will
warrant
Here in the South, where we have
from so to 100 per cent more of grow
ing season than in the North, and with
an opportunity to harvest food crops
more days in the year than in any 9TH
err section of the country, what excuse
can we have for getting our milk from
Wisconsin in tin cans; orr gardens
from Michigan and Maryland in tin
cans: for having our smoke houses in
Kansas City, Chicago, Cincinnati or
Omaha; our -four bin in Minneapolis,
and our granaries and hay mows away
in the Northwest thousand of miles
away?
If the risks incident to farming in
the cotton territory prompt farmers
and business men to davocate a safer
system of agriculture in the past few
years, there are ten times as many
reasons for pursuing a safer system in
1917, no matter what may be thep rice
of cotton.
Let us not be unbalanced by the sup
posed high price of cotton. Cotton is
not high, relatively speaking. Prior to
July 1914 for a number of years the
price of cotton averaged close to IL
cents per pound Since last fall it has
averaged close to IS cents per pound,
an increase Of so per cent in value, BET
to raise cotton and exchange for the
revenues received from its sale for the
food for the family and feed for the
livestock will not, at the present time
and under present food prices, enable
the farmer to make as much as he
made when cotton was 70 cents a

BY BRADFORD KNAPP,

Chief, Office of Extension Work N the
South, States Relations Service
AS the planting season draws nearer
tie necessity for Safe Farming in
1917 becomes greater. The agriculture
of the South is surrounded by acloud
OF difficulties Shall we plant an in
creased acreage in cotton and neglect
to produce the food for the people and
the feed for the growing livestock in
dustry? Shall we gamble everything
OF the supposed high price of cotton, or
shall we steer safe course and pro-
duce the food and feed for the South
this year This is the all-important
question about which came to talk to
you. The present is no time for spec
ulation The family, community, state
and national life is too greatly de-
pnedent upon the correct and safe
course for 1917 to permit of our giving
any consideration to program which
is hazardous in the extreme.
Are our memories so short that we
have forgotten 1914? Do we f1atter
ourselves that dependence upon all
cotton is safe now because the peculiar
conditions of 1916 enabled the farmers
who could grow cotton to profit greatly
from their years labor? A system
which brought poverty 1914 and afflu-
ence in 1916 is not safe system be-
cause nobody knows what it will bring
ir 1917.
There is an even more important
reason why the South should produce
the food for it's people and the feed for
it's livestock in 1917 This country is
trembling now upon the very brink of
war itself War means that the de-
fensive and offensive powers of this
country must be heavily drawn upon.
We have never faced war, in more
than century, with first class for
eign power. If the war comes now,
which seems inevitable, it will disturb
the economic conditions of this coun-
try. The strength of country is
measured by the strength of all its
parts If there is a part of a country
which can not carry its own burden,
which can not support itself, which de-
ponds upon other sections of the coun-
try for its living, it is dependent sec
ton and can not be tower of
strength in the country's hour of need.
The most reliable data shows that
the South annually imports in the
neighborhood of six or seven hundred
million dollars worth of foodstuffs
from the North and West Each state
yiIl know what part of that huge sum
ii is responsible for When transpOrta-
ton lines are seriously disturbed, eth
Ell by strikes or by wars, when the
country must turn its attention to
foreign foes, when disaster seems upon
us, then is the time when We wish for
the old days of self-supporting agricul-

The Trend Of Spring Styles

For Spring and Summer, the daShing-
looking fashions, the bewildering array
of novelties in clothing and haber-
dashery reflect we'll the spirit of the
swift-moving days in which we are
living.
A few words as to the turn style has
taken:
COATS are longer, but with every
detail conferred about emphasizing the
high waist effect. Lapels are short and
gracefully narrow. Sleeves are shapely
and just wide enough for stiff cuffs,
now much affected by smart dresserS.

MYSTIC POWER CHARTER
 CONFLICTS BOROUGH RIGHTS
Discovery That Two Corporations Have Same Right to Furnish Pow

he charters of the Mystic Power company and the borough of Groton to furnish electricity have been found to be in conflict. It has been discovered that the charters Of both corporations give them the right to furnish power in the same territory in the town of Groton.
 The discovery was made only very recently when the Mystic Power com pany applied to the legislature for an amendment to it's charter to furnish power in the town of North Stoning ton. In the investigation incident to the presentation and securing of the amendment it was revealed that both the Mystic Power company and the borough of Groton have the right to furnish power in the town of Groton in parts of Poquohoc.
 The borough of Groton was organ ized in 1903 and by it's charter it was given the right to furnish power in all the territory of the Second voting dis trict and that portinn of the Third voting district which lies east of the brook which enpties into Palmer cove
 In 1907 the Mystic Power company was incorporated and it's charter gave it the right to furnish electricity in Mystic, Noank and that portion of the town of Groton extending to the Po- quonoc river.
 When the Mystic Power company asked for an amendment to it's charter 1t was found that the charter of that company was in conflict with the tights of the borough of Groton. The borough of Groton has expended at least $10, 900 in improvements to furnish electric power te that section of the town of Groton in Poquonoc in which it sup posed it had the sole right, while the Mystic Power company has spent very little there.
 The officials of the borough of Gro ton and of the Mystic Power company have been in conference through their attorneys mad it is expected that the matter will be adjusted amicably. It is though that the two corporations will be able to reach an agreement to rem edy the situation and that a solution will be presented to the committee on interpretations of the legislature which will be satisfactory to all concerned and which will be sanctioned by the legislative committee.
 Attorney Warren B. Burrows is look ing after the interests of the borough of Groton and Attorney John K Car penter of Putnam is acting for the Mystic Power company.

NORWICH MAN IS
 GRANTED A DIVORCE.
Freed from unfaithfuI Wife in supe-
 rior Court by Judge Futile.

Judge Joseph F. Futile granted two divorce decrees and continued one in the superior court in New London Fri day morning. All the cases were on the short calendar and were uncon- tested.
 Bessie w. Derby of New London was granted a divorce from Allen Derby of parts unknown on the grounds of de- sertion. She testified that /she was married to Derby in Boston on Feb. 21, 1904, and that he deserted her about March 1, 1905. She lived in HaverhiH at the time of her marriage, but she went to New London in 1907. Mrs. Derby said that her husband left her intending to look for a position, but he did not tell her where he was going, and she has not seen him since. Some time after his departure she heard of him in New Hampshire and she wrote to him asking him to come back He replied that he had secured g. divorce from her and that was the last time she heard from him.
 Judge Futile then heard the petition of Mrs. Ida Cordie McMoran of New London from Eugene F. McMoran, also of New London, on the grounds of habitual intem1perance and fntolerab1e cruelty. Mrs. MoMoran testified that she was married to McMoran in June, 1910, after she had known him only about two months. She did not know of his drinking habits at the time and the first time she found out he drank to excess was about three weeks after their marriage.
 At that time she accompanied him on his delivery trips on grocery wagon, and before the trip was over he was so drunk he couldn't stand, having previously stopped at a saloon to get a quart of liquor.
 She said that he abused her and used vile and indecent language and that once he had assaulted her and threatened to shoot her with a re- volver.
 At the conclusion of the testimony Judge Futile did not think that a case had been proven and that he would continue the case.
 Stanley Papuga was granted a di- vorce from BrunisIaNa Papuga. of this city on the grounds of adultery. They were married Dec. 3, 1907, and 1t was claimed that the defendant commit ted adultery at>various times between Jan. 1, 1913, and Jan. 1, 1917.
