FARMERS MEETINGS
Series for Wright County
Being Planned-Ar.
range to Be Present

| WIN Ln9 Inauguration OIO0cle
Sans wheat campaign in WriRh'
County, our farmers are again
rallying patrioticaIly to the call
The worlds supply of our mos1
important cereal, the most i'm
portant of human foods, is fal
below the normal and will be
next year. Farmers of America
are asked to raise more wheat
that hunger, distress, and per-
haps famine may be averted.
The farmer is always ready and
willing to do his part, but per-
haps this is the first time that
he was ever guaranteed adequate
pay for his labor.
In order to accomplish the de-
sired results, the College Of Ag-
riculture, cooperating with the
u. S. Department of Agriculture
is working to place within the
reach of every farmer those ex-
plantations OF the factors which
help to make a bumper wheat
crop. There is no doubt but
what the acreage Of wheat
will be increased, but the hoped
for increase in yield per acre will
not be realized unless the best
methods are widely used. To
this end, the Agricultural Exten.
sion Service will hold series OF
six meetings in this county: Mtn.

The topics discussed will in
clude- the selection of adapted
varieties, preparation Of seed

of insects, and other per.
tinent subjects. -
The average yield of wheat per
acre in Wright county during the
past ten years has been ap.
proximately 10 or IL bushels.
This yield is low aud yields Of
double this amount are reported
every year. Wrightcounty should
be found at the head of the list
In increase in her acre yield.
Whest raising is not q gam ble if
scientifically done. Many OF our
best farmers consider wheat saf
er than corn but to market it
takes careful work. The things |
that make for successful wheat
will be discussed at
these meetings.
Although the time of sowing |
is drawing near, aud every hour
in the field is valuable, we urge
that every farmer who expects
TO SOW wheat attend one or more
Of these meetings.
Be sure that you are leaving
undone as you prepare
to do your bit" for your coun'
try. Ifyour methods have pro-
ven profitable. come to the meet
ing and let others profit by your
An average yield of
thirty bushels per acre for your
county may not be realized but
unless you have done everything
in your power to produce this
much, you will not have done
your duty to your family, your
state, and your country.

PUBLICITY DOEsaNOT
 INJURE A GOOD CAUSE

"No good cause ever suffered from publicity and no bad cause but in stinctively avoids it." This truthful statement is from the able pen of Dr.. Chas. Elliot of Harvard University. We claim that the position taken by Dr. Elliot is most unanswerable and praiseworthy. And it is a position that will more and more enlist the at- tention of the reading, thinking pub lie until an attitude will be obtained that will prove conducive to the social and moral health of the masses. But such an end desirable as it is, cannot be obtained without persistent, self sacrificing effort. And there must be the consistency of antipathy to sec recy and a stern, relentless warfare waged for publicity. Mere sentiment alism and theorizing will avail noth- ing. Such course has been followed too long already. The good of any institution must be maintained and published as freely as possible but the bad should be acknowledged and ex- punged as quickly as possible. It is encouraging to note how that many reformers and especially those promi- nent in our schools both large and small are contributing valuable ser vice to the cause of publicity. It may be that in the fields of politics and commerce it's progress will be slow but who can satisfactorily dispute the fact that even there will be the effect i've process of exposure.

New Orleans Cotton,

New Orleans, Sept. 12-Nervous ever the tropical storm kept the cot ton market here at the advance in the early trading today but buying was restricted by the fair weather over the belt and the forecast of continued fair weather. In the first half hour of business prices rose 8 to 14 points.
 The weekly weather reports were regarded as being less unfavorable than expected and moderately heavy selling ensued. Toward noon active months were 35 to 43 points under yesterdays close.
 The announcement that the Carib- bean storm had been dissipated en- couraged fresh selling pressure on the market and in the trading up to 1:3O the active months went to net de- cline of 56 to 69 points.
 Cotton closed barely steady at decline of 66 to "A points. The range:

New York Cotton.

New York, Sept 12.-The cotton market was very nervous and irregu- lar early today. The opening was 72 points higher on September and to 20 points higher on later positions. with the tone barely steady at the ad- vance. Realizing was heavy and the trade too on rather a more favorable view of the weather map which show ed slightly higher temperatures in the south. After selling at 20.95c on the call, October eased to 20.S0c while January reacted from 2O.7Oc to 2053c, or back to nearly last nights closing. There was further covering and some scattered buying on bullish spot advices from Texas but demand was less general after the advances of the past two days.
 Slight rallies preceded the weekly weather report but this statement read more faWorably than expected and the market soon weakened again under continued realizing, southern and local selling. At midday Octob- CT had sold off to 20.4Oc and Janu- 2ry to 20.12c, making decline of 35 to 40 points from last nights close and of about 5 to GO from the high level of the morning.
 There was enough covering to cause some irregularity early in the afternoon but offerings increased on slight bulges and the market was still very much unsettled with October selling off to 20.3Sc and January to 19.95c, or about 37 to 57 points net lower.
 Cotton closed barely steady. The
