A quarter-page advertisement by
the "Cotton Publicity Committee"
in a newspaper yesterday morning
has this to say: "The price of cot
ton is not going down. The popular
impression is that because other
commodities are declining in price
the price of cotton must go down
too. The situation is not at all anal
ogous. The war did not put the
price Of cotton up. The war kept
cotton down. For four years now
there have been short crops Of cot
ton. If it had NOT been for the
Great War, which practically cut off
exports, cotton might have gone up
to rs cents and 80 cents a pound"
That is interesting. 1t is even more
interesting when one considers that
in the ten years before the war
from 1908 to 1918 inclusive-cot-
ton ranged between 7 and 10 Sd
cents when the war was not holding
it back, though it went to 38 1-2
cents in 1918, when the war was
doing its darndest.
The monster Cotton Convention
In New Orleans pledged it.
self to hold the balance of
the 1918 cotton crop until the
splnners ask for it at a reasonable
price (not less than 80 cents a
pound basis middling f. o. b. South
ern shipping points," - we quote
from the advertisement of the pub
Icity committee. Cotton Aasn't sold
at reasonable price since the post
Civil War days Of 1869. In the
forty years from 1873 to 1913. it
was never higher than 81 3-S cents
a pound, and that was in 1873.
With no war going on, what kept it
from going to rs and 80 cents q
pound in all that time is one of the
worlds solemn mysteries.

MAKING AN ACRE PRODUCE
MORE PORK

In these days when every acre must
be made to produce its utmost, the re-
suits with fertilizers at the Ohio agri-
cultural experiment station are most
interesting.
Translating corn yields into terms Of
work, it was found that where no fer
tilizer of any kind was used, an acre
of corn would produce about 282
pounds Of pork; where manure was
used on the corn land, 457 pounds Of
pork were produced; and where fer
tilizer was applied in addition to
manure, an acre Of corn produced 552
pounds of work.
On most farms manure is lacking
and more dependence must be placed
upon the commercial forms of fertiliz-
.er. All who expect to use fertilizer
next spring should place their orders
not later than November. Wartime
conditions make it necessary to order
far in advance.

POTASH HUNGER OF POTATOES

Throughout all Of the principal po-
tato-growing sections of the East there
is growing evidence of the effect OF
lack Of potash on potatoes. First this
hunger for potash was made apparent
by decreased yields. Virginia, Maine,
New Jersey and New York have found
that they cannot grow potatoes as well
as they could FIVE or six years ago.
Potatoes don't set as well, tubers
don't fill out, and disease is more COM
mon.
Potato specialists, who have been
studying the matter, say that most of
the trouble is due to the lack of pot
ash in the potato fertilizer. They also
say thatathe new diseases of potatoes
which have been so common for the
past two years are nothing more than
"Potash Hunger"
The Phoma stem blight, which was
SO common in 1918 along the Eastern
seaboard, has been definitely traced
down to malnutrition due to lack of
potash. The disease is made apparent
by brOnzing Of the foliage followed
by a premature collapse Of the entire
plant.
Specialists in Washington say that
using potash fertilizer will remove the
cause of the trouble, and advise farm
ers to buy fertilizer containing 2 to 3
per cent Of potash for use next year.

Ro'c "-7 OVERSEES SAYS
KEEP ON SAVING.

Herbert Hoover, who Is In Europe
10 study and devise relief measures
for the food situation there, asks the
American people in q cable sent sew
eral days ago not to relax in the slight
est degree their conservation efforts.
The little nations Just released from
German oppression, he says. are IN
dire need and 1t Is to America alone
that they can look for succor. 1t is
many months since they had sufficient
food to sustain them, and 1t will be
many more before they will have
enough food of their own to save
them from starvation.
The worlds needs and It's resources
have been weighed. and the result
shows that they will be just about
equal until the next harvest II Amer
lea saves to It's utmost and eliminates
waste absolutely.
The Food Administrations new con-
servation program calls for rigid econ
cny in al foodstuffs; and rigid econ
omy demands thought and persever-
ance and conscience. The Administra-
tion is not asking for q short, brisk
saving campaign in this or that COM
modify; it is asking for continued rig,
o~ous. and scrupulous conservation in
everything. To comply may be some
what difficult at first. considering the
recent relaxation in the rulings, but
It Is merely another chance for the
American people to show that they
ON accomplish as much without re-
st-ictions as with thers. They have
complied snlendidly and enthusiastical-
" with rulings and requests made by
Mr. Hoover during the past year. and
the results accomplished have been
remarkable. They can do as much,
and more, without restrictions II they
say they will Mr.. Hoover believes II,
and he Of all people should know A
year and a half ago he said, I'VE
hold It in our power, and ours alone.
to keep the wolf from the door OF the
world. This duty Is wider than war
It is as wide as humanity"
Today this appeal is repeated. and
there rests Mr.. Hoover's case. He be-
heves in the American people suffic-
lently to be convinced that they will
not fail to respond heroically to this
appeal to their world conscience"
