Plant Less Cotton This Year

The South is now in a position which
might be called ''cotton poor" that is
to say, it has large stocks of cotton on
hand costing considerably more than
present market values to produce and
for which there is seemingly no demand
except at these sacrifice prices. AL.
though there are sourd fundamental
reasons why cotton should not be as
low as the present market quotations,
yet In order 10 be 10 on the aafe side it
is good policy not 70 raiee the usual

will be sure to take the cotton it can

not flood the market with more than the
market will absorb. Any manufacturer
when he sees that he cannot sell the
stock of goods that he has on hand i'm
mediately curtails his production. Farm
ers are manufacturers and they can ap.
ply the same principles on a smaller
scale. If in 1919 every farmer will cut
his normal cotton acreage by cne-third
be will get more money for his crop and
get paid at least the cost price for any

gross income dwindled down to $3.50.
The Southern farmers are certainly en-
titled to at least 90c. pound for their
cotton under present conditions, and
they should get it.
Diversifeation of crops is a common
sense policy for farmer. If yoar cot
ton crop goes wrong, you have your
corn, your cattle. your hogs or other
crops. During 1919 you will make
m re money by cutting your usual
cotton acreage and putting more land
into feed and food crops. Plant corn

gets so cheap as to be improbable to

is not in position to raise big crop in

Cooperative Association Shipment

A number of farmers met at the
court house last Saturday and formed
The Fayette County Cooperative
Farm Products Association The pur.
pose OF this association is to sell for its
members such farm products as cattle.
hogs, corn, hay. ETC., in the best mar
kets of the country and to purchase
farm materials at wholesale prices.
Lee F. Catron, one of the largest and
most progressive farmers and livestock
producers of the county, was elected
president and j. N. Clay vice president,
W. A, Owens, County Demonstration
Agent was elected secretary-manager
and Hal Stainback, treasurer,
These officials with Peter Beasley,
w. b. f0ung and form
the board of directors.
The constitution of the association is
modelled after other associations Of like
nature which exist in many parts of
the country. Any citizen of the county
in good standing can become member
by the. payment of annual dues of one
dollar. This puts its benefits within
reach of everybody.
1t is the purpose of the association to
insiitutesregular shipping days for live
stock on certain days of the month.
Secretary manager Owens will arrange
for cars, receive the stock. weigh it,
mark IL and ship it to the best market,
probably st. Louis. Members furnish
ing one hog for cooperative shipment
of this kind will receive as fair and
equitable treatment as those furnishing
half car lead.
The only expense attached will be
freight and cost of handling and selling
aud this expense will be borne pro rata
by the shippers in each car according
90 the relauve weight Of their stuff.
lthas never been difficult for the big
shipper who raises enough lives took or
other produce TO receive the top of the
m .rket because he can ship in car lol d
quantities, but the small farmer, VINO
often has a surplus OF one or two hogs

Die for The small producer to reach the

The need for such an association has
been felt for several years in this county
md the launching of the present enter
orise is due in large measure to the ef-
'orts of County Agent W. A. Owens,
who will assume tae duties of. secretary

GUARDS
At THE ARSENAL
Camp Raritan Police Force Re-
duced to 1875 Men Today

An inspection of the guards tool
place at Raritan Arsenal this morn
ing. Captain f. L.. Hagadorn, il
charge of the camps police depart
ment, had his men lined up on IN
parade ground and Col. Andrews, II
command of the arsenal, reviewed
the force in its entirety.
The colonel, accompanied by Cap
tain Hagadorn, passed up and dowI
the lines looking over each man care
fully, occasionally asking for the re-
volver a man carried, which he ex'
amined with the eye of a critic. After
this inspection was completed thu
force passed in review, adding a mil
itary touch that could not have beer
surpassed by a battalion Of "regu-
lars"
When the inspection was complet-
ed Col. Andrews congratulated Cap
tain Hagadorn upon the fine appear
ance of his men and the military
precision displayed.
II The police force at the arsenal
consisted, this morning. of zoo men.
They are all ~ex-soldiers, many OF
them being veterans of the Spanish
War as well as of the late war. To-
day, however, on orders from Wash
ington, the police force is cut to 125
men. No explanation for the reduc-
ton in the force can be given except
ing the desire on the part OF con-
gress to cut expenses. limiting the
appropriation for the War Depart
ment.
But all of these cannot be on duty
at once. Captain Hagadorn said today
that with his depleted force there will
be only about thirty mel on duty at a
time to protect the entire camp, In
GLIDING the great magazine section
along the river.
When Senator Frelinghuysen. Con-
gresham Scully and the Boar OF
Freeholders inspected the camp re-
Gently they were unanimous in their
opinion that there should be more
guards. The next day the order was
received from Washington to reduce
made by local authorities to have the
guards put back to a footing adequate
to afford proper protection
The men, this morning, made an
impressive appearance and 1t Is with
difficulty that seventy-fve of them are
weeded put in accordance with orders
from Washington.
Captain Hagadorn is q retired army
officer, having seen thirty years SER
vice and his father, grandfather and
great-grandfather also wore the uni
of Uncle Sam. a Hagadorn hav-
.ng sreved with honor and distinction
in every war this nation has ever
been engaged in. Captain Hagadorn
lost two IONS in France.
Because it Is born In the blood,
Captain Hagadorn maintained strict
military discipline among his guards,
although they are employed as civil
ians. Rules and regulations are
strictly enforced and any reflection
means instant dismissal. The men
know that when a man of Captain
Hagadorn's training says this 1t
means just what it says
But the captain Is greatly cha
grinned over the reduction of his
force. He says instead of a decrease
he should have more men. He estf-
mates hat $50 men are needed to
guard the camp properly. He has had
only 200 and after today he will have
but 1875. When the truck drivers, h
and officers are taken out
1t leaves only 100 men to do actual
guard duty for that enormous plant.
