! A few days ago New Orleans enter.
growers from ten southern states. OF
course they did not meet to organize 8
! combination in restraint of trade OF
anything OF that sort, but the chief
subject of discussion was the price OF
cotton, ana they adopted resolutions in
which they agreed that thirty cents a
pound is the minimum price they
fought to receive. The resolutions
also declared against any form OF price
regulation of cotton by Congress or
anybody acting under authority of Con-
gress. If anybody is to regulate the
price of cotton they, the growers, pro-
pose to do 1t themselves, and are not
losing any sleep worrying lest any per-
son or body now in authority IN Wash
ington will interfere with their pas
time.
The Washington that long left cotton
off the list of forbidden exports,
though it was well known that much
of it was reaching Germany to be
turned INTO ammunition, and which
thoughtfully spared the southern plant
ers whose war profits are running into
hundreds of millions this year, any
burden OF war taxation, will not be
likely to interfere with the plans of
the New Orleans conference. King
Cotton Is IN position to be arrogant
and knows we'll how to Improve the op-
portnlty. Once. not long ago, the
South was happy with ten-cent cotton.
Now 1T expects commentator that 1T
IS so considerate ano forbearing as to
make thirty cents the minimum price
for the product that enters 80 largely
into munitions and yet escapes the
otherwise virtually universal munitions
tax.-Boston Herald.

Have you ever given careful thought
to the most important feature of all
talk about food saving? Most people
have not and do not realize what the
MOST important feature is.
The most important feature is that
this food saving means better health
IN nine cases out of ten. With most OF
us food saving means food substitution
to a degree. That Is, we eat less OF
the rich fats and heavy meats than we
did and more of the bulky protein foods
and that is a sure avenue to better
health.
After all health is the most to be de-
sired OF all material things that affect
Our lives. without health we can &C
complish only a small part of what we
are able to do with health.
So when you hear people talk OF food
conservatism remember that it means
healthier and stronger lives and there
tore happier lives. Conserve food and
build health, that is what it means in
most instances.

tons that seed generally is likely to be
scarce next year. But should that
statement prove incorrect, if you save
your SEED you have saved just that
amount of cash your seed would cost.
Seed carefully saved at home is gen.
orally admitted to be better than the
seed you buy.
In no way can you save more surely
or wisely than in the selection of your
seed corn. In the field is the place to
select it, for then you can see every
condition that surrounds the seed ear
and thus be better able to tell its actu-
al seed value.
When 1t is rem EN- bered that the
difference in the yield per acre has in
some instances been as much as five
bushels in favor of field selected seed
over seed selected from the CRIB, ii
certainly means great neglect to not
save your seed corn by selecting it in
the field.
Numerous persons have tried to save
soy bean seed this year SO as to AVOID
the high prices or last year. We have
heard several persons say they feai
their soy beans wereShurt by frost.
Do nut accept that as fixed fact.

them to determine terminating value

SHOULD Be LESS PARTISAN.
The Banks Generally Would Feel That
Square Deal Is Likely.

President Wilson has issued an ap-
peal for the State banks and trust COM
panIes to come into the Federal Re-
serve System. His language is urgent
- as is the need. There are more
banks outside the Federal Reserve
system than within 1t. Between eight
and nine thousand State banks. by rea-
son of their resources, are eligible and
desirable as members of the Federal
Reserve System but only about hun
dred of them have ever joined it, and
the entire membership of the System
is about 7, 700.
According to the Statistical Abstract
for 1914 1.-THE latest avallable) thu total
resources OF the 1858 National Banks
, there listed mounted to little less
tnan eleven and half billion dollars.
At the same time there were 2, 1T
savings banks, ASP State Banks,
1904 private banks. and 1864 loan and
trust companies whose total resources
aggregated nearly fifteen billions and
half of dollars.
1t is evident therefore. as the Presi-
dent says, that "these institutions have
1t in their power to add enormously to
the resources of the Federal Reserve
Banks, lnasmuch as they hold nearly
tifty-eight per cent of the banking re-
sources of the country.

trolled by the Federal Reserve Board,

Why is 1t not just as wrong and un'

ton IN some form just as surely-ano
more so-than he has to eat flour made

COURTS CONVENE:
MORE LIVE STOCK.

Not for more than ten years has the
supply of live stock and cattle espec-
tally been so short IN this county as
now. The demand has never been SO
great as now and if the war should stop
within the present year the demand
fer cattle would be very little. if any,
less.
The reasons for that are these: The
supply of cattle in all the European
countries has been SO greatly reduced
by slaughter. as well as curtailed in
the increase by war conditions, that
the demand will be so grea. for sever
al years after the war ceases that beef
cattle in thus country are sure to re
main very high. Breeding stock will
be so scarce and high IN Europe after
the. war that urheard-of prices are
likely to prevail for blocded stock In
this country.
For these reasons the man who turns
bis attention to beef cattle Is sure of
a good and lasting market for several
years, war or no war.
So many cows and heiters have been
shipped from this section this fall that
those on whose judgement one may
safely rely. claim that fresh cows will
be higher next spring than ever before.
With the present outlook for high
prices for cows and heifsrs and the as
surance that cattle are ttsre to remain
high for several years-war or No war
our farmers should cease to sell cows
and heifers and arrange to carry what
they have through the winter in the
best possible condition.
The present high price of hogs is
no. to be interfered with by the food
administration people. Mr.. Hoover
says on that subject: Il wish TO
make this positive statemen that so
far as the United States Food Admin
istratlon is able. through its influence
On the purchase OF pork and It's prod
ucts for expectation, l Will do all IN my
power to see that prices OF pork are
maintained in ratio to feed prices
that Will cover not only cost of pro-
duct,on, but proper remuneration to
the producer.
With the high price that wool is now
bringing there is no necessity to point
to profits from sheep. MIR. Hoover
says: There is practically famine
itn wool at the present moment.
There is every reason in outlook and in
profit for the increase of our sheep"
There is another feature that is par
ticularly encouraging 10 the farmers
of tins section. Mr.. Hoover further
says: 1--WE have today somewhere
near the equivalent OF one billion of
bushels of feed more than last year.
This IS an increase of nearly 70 per
cent--for which we have no cores
bonding number of ANIMALS to feed un-
less we begin to increase them at once.
We have much more feed
than we have animals to eat it. There
fore, if farmers are to find markets for
feed, 1t must be to great extent
through an increase in animals. There /
fore, 1t must be to the vital advantage .
OF every farmer to raise hogs.
Since the country has such a large
excess of feed 1t would seem every
way reasOna l. that concentrates such
as corn, cotto1seed meal and similar
products will be lower in price this
year thar was feared by many, and
