Just now while a great effort is

1919, 1t is Illuminating to read a
deliveranco from Governor Henry j
Allen OF Kansas who refused to at
tend a conference Of the South Caro-

Jciation is now striving to reduce
the size Of the cotton crop, in order
that the prize of cotton may re-
main high. The Governor said:
Kansas farmers are doing every
thing in their power to increase the
wheat yield so that everyone may
have bread, but II eeems that the cot
ton growers are trying at the same
time to prevent the same people from
having clothes" he declared.
