WHAT THE U. 8. IS DOING.

Have you really considered the
stupendous part the United States is
playing in this war?
First, this nation is almost financing
the Allies, by lending them enormous
sums of money, and is spending bill
lion dollars itself, month.
Second it is not only supplying itself
with sufficient food, but is practical
ly feeding six other nations, includ-
ing their armies.
Third, it is sending an army of mil
lions 3,4O0 miles from it's base, and
also furnishing the army food from
that base.
Fourth, in less than II months of
participation, it is already bearing
considerable CT the brunt of the war
American resourcefulness ingenuity
determination, and courage were new
CIR better exemplified.
For the successful accomplishment
of these wonderful feats, somebody
is due lot of credit, and if they have
made mistakes they have committed
none to hurt. Their errors really do
not get the scales out of balance.

THE HIGH COST OF FARMING.

Cotton is selling for the record price
of all time. Wheat, corn, hogs, velvet
beans, and other staple farm products
are bringing unheard of prices Ordi-
narily, one would think that the far
mer, especially the Southern farmer, is
rolling in wealth, with money banked
up, new automobile, the houses all
painted, new farm implements, and the
fertilizer bought for cash.
Generally, it is true that the far
mer is in better shape than he ever
vas before They are borrowing less
money on their farms. There are
fewer applications for loans They
have more money on deposit They
are going in more heavily, planting
more acreage. But they are not ae
curing all of the worlds riches.
No less an authority than Harvie
Jordan declares that cotton at dollar
a pound would only afford just
profit
The reason why the farmer, in spite
If the fine prices he obtains for his
products, is not amassing huge wealth
is that he is forced to pay heavily for
ali he needs Says Farm and Fire
side:
Within the last two or three years
coal has advanced in price from 100
to 25O per cent, wire has gone up 100
per cent, wagons are selling for A.
per cent, more than they used to, pre-
pared foods have advanced 100 PEI
cent, fertilizers have risen in price 60C
per cent, and so on. Binding twins
aas advanced from to Is cents. Pillow
shovels that were bought for $3.50 be
fore the war now cost 81. Cultiva
tors sold at $2S before the war, anl
now sell for from $50 to $55. Ever
the seed has advanced outrageously
and will bring an unheard-of prize
this spring."
The Times-Recorder knows for {
fact that there is one particular kind
of seed corn, which formerly sold a
thirty cents a pound, now bringing
eighty cents pound right here il

uses, in truth, has advanced consider
ably, and it is a problem with him
Row to pay these prices and still fig
IRE on a profit.
While enyying the farmer as he
comes to town and disposes of his
wares for fancy figures, it might not
be amiss to extend him a little feel
ing of fellow-sympathy the next time
he comes and starts out to buy his
various supplies.
