PEACE SIGNED

Versailles, June 28.-W World peace
was signed and sealed in the his
toric Hall of Mirrors at Versailles
this afternoon, but under circum-
stances which somewhat diInmed
the expectations of those who had
worked aud fought during long
years of war and months of neg0tia-
tons for its achievement.
The absence of the Chinese dele
gates, who at the last moment were
/ unable to reconcile themselves to
the Shantung settlement, and left
the eastern pire outside The for
NAL purviews of peace, struck the
first discordant note in the assem-
bly,. A written protest which Gen
eral Jan Christian Smuts lodged
with his signature was another dis
appointment to the makers of the
treaty.
But, bulking larger. was the at

KILLED WHEN PLANE FALLS.
Iol. Dickman and Maj. Butts Victims
of Accident.

Americus, Ga, April 3.-Lieut.
co, Frederick T. Dickman, COM
manding officer at Southern hylng
field near here, and Major John w.
Butts, executive officer of the field,
were killed late today in a fall OF
about 200 feet. Col. Dickman is
son of Major Gen. Dickman, COM
manding the Third army Of occupa-
ton of the Rhine.
The two officers, Major. Butts as
pilot and Col. Dickman in the second
seat. had gone up for their usual al
ternoon flight and had made the last
turn of the field preparatory to land
ing. From the ground it appeared
that Major Butts attempted what is
known as vertical bank Tne
wind was coming in gusts and appa-
rently caught the airplane with full
force in such way as to lift the tail
vertically into the air.
~ The usual nose dive followed the
Jerking of the plane into a vertical
position, and it crashed to the earth.
Had they been higher up there would
in all probability have been time for
it to have "f1attened OUT and gllded
safely on. Before it could be right
ed, however, the plane hit the earth
with a crash that smashed it into
bits. officers and men rushed up.
The two flyers were breathing but
unconscious, and both died within a
few minutes.
z Both Col. Dickman and Major
Butts were graduates of West Point
and each leaves a widow and one
child residing here. Col. Dickman
came here January 10, succeeding
Major Carlisle Wash as commander.
Col. Dickman was thirty-five years
old and an expert flyer.
Major Butts, a native of Cisco,
Texas, was twenty-eight years old.
He was noted as a fine athlete and
an. expert rifeman and revolver shot.

large crop always meant lower

large crop always meant lower
prices? Think that over!
What about acreage? Let us look
at the acreage figures in the bulle-
tin. The total for 1918 was $780,
600. Oklahoma had more acres
planted in 1918 than in 1911, 1913
or 1914. Texas had more acres in
1918 than 1911 and only about 70O,-
900 acres less than in 1914. The
years 1911, 1913 and 1914 were
good with big crops and generally
low prices. With only 100000 acres
more in the whole country in 1911
than we had in the whole country in
1918, we produced 15,693,000 bales,
and the farm price December 1,
1911, averaged SS cents per pound.
In 1913 we had 37,OS9, 900 acres and
produced 1+,136,O0O bales, and the
farm price averaged 1872 cents per
pound December 1, 1913. In 1914
we had 36.S32,00O acres, or only
$4,000 acres more than in 1918, and
yet the production was 1915 900
bales and the farm price December l..
1914, was 6.S cents per pound on the
average-due =; part, no doubt, to
the war in Europe. Think this over.
With less acres than last year and
a good season we can easily make a
very large crop, especially with good
production in Texas and Oklahoma.
In 1912 with only 34,283,000 acres
was made 1903, 900 bales of cotton.
With good season ahead of us,
would you increase the acreage?
Which would you rathe do, pro-
duce more cotton and take a less
price for it after working a large
number of acres at greater expense,
or limit your production to a smaller
number of acres, better tended, per-
hitting the full production of your
food and feed and better chance for
a good price?
1t is absolute folly to upset the
present prosperity of the cotton
States by planting large acreage;
which can only mean a large crop
and lower price I hear rumors of
farmers selling their livestock to
put their land all in cotton. Such
action is inviting disaster If far
mers, landlords and bankers combine
to pull the house down upon their
own heads by producing large crop
of cotton, they should have the cour-
age to make no appeal to the rest of
the world for help if their own ac-
tion lands them into distress.
But remember that there is a good
way. Look in the bulletin. Food
plus cotton equals prosperity. Full
production of the food for our people
and the feed for our growing live
stock industry IN the SOutn SnOuld
be the first and most important con-
sideration. Safe farming demands
caution this time. Supply your own
needs first as a sound measure of
protection, then hold your cotton
acreage down to a moderate figure,
less than in 1918, in order that we
may safeguard the production and
not destroy our prosperity by delib-
erately overproducing.
It is up to the South to play safe
game. Safety first demands that
every cotton farmer, big and little,
shall cooperate in holding down the
cotton acreage.-By Bradford Knapp.

FARMING IN SOUTHERN STATES.
Addresses Bulletin to ''Farmers and
Business Men in Cotton Belt"

To Farmers and Business Men in
Cotton Territory:
The department of agriculture is
issuing bulletin which I have pre-
pared for the purpose of putting
the present situation up to the far
mers and business men. 1t is enti-
tied Safe Farming in the Southern
States in 1919" Ask your county
agent for a copy.
The present situation is the most
dangerous which the cotton States
have faced in recent years. You have
had four years of comparative pros
perity, partly because of four short
crops of cotton with resultant good
prices, and partly because you pro-
duced so much of your own food: and
feed. During the last four years
there have been short crops in Tex
as, mainly due to drought. In 1911,
1912, 1913 and 1914 the Texas crop
averaged 4,41S,250 bales, while
during 1915, 1916, 1917 and 1918
it averaged only 3,164,500 bales, or
1,253,750 bales less per annum. Tex
as has had good rains this winter.
From 1911 to 1914, inclusive, Okla
homa averaged 1,036,250 bales per
annum. From 1915 to 1918, inclu-
sive, the average was only 742,250
bales, or 294,O00 bales less per an
num-mainly due to drought. Okla
homa has had splendid rains this
winter. A big crop in Texas and
Oklahoma has always meant a big
crop in the whole country. Think
that over before you decide to in
crease your acreage in cotton.
Will the mills of Northern France
and Belgium be restored to full
working capacity at once? Certainly
not! Will the poor people of Europe
seek food or cotton first? Food, of
course! People can and will wear
patched clothing and sleep without
pillow cases and sheets if need be-;
but the hungry stomach must BE-
fed. Think about that!
The last four years have been a
period of gradually increasing
prices. Farmers and business men
have profited out of this constant in
crease. Cotton just about kept pace
with other things. A pound or an acre
of it would buy about the same
quantity of other commodities in
1918, at 80 cents a pound, as it did
in 1914, at IL cents a pound. But
during this time the farmers had the
advantage of purchasing supplies in
the spring and summer at one level
of prices and then selling cotton in
the fall at the top price of the year
and paying the debts contracted at
the lower prices. Be on your guard
now, for when prices begin to settle
down the situation becomes more diff
ficult. We may be in the position OF
making a crop of cotton with high
priced supplies and settling our
debts out of cotton at a lower price.
Especially will this be true if we
produce a very large crop and there
by do all in our power to lower the
market price of cotton. Has not a

Eyes Of the Army.

For some unexplained reason an
immense secret has been made of our
eva service abroad and in this coun-
try during the war. Even now the
medical department OF the army re-
fuses to give \the slightest informa-
tion on the subject-which to the
layman seems rather silly; for OF
what Imaginable use could it be to
the enemy?
81 What is here referred to is chiefly
the providing of glasses for soldiers,
to correct imperfect vision. The
fighting man must see we'll If he is
to be worthwhile cambatant.
In peace times a recruit, to gain
acceptance for the United States ar
my, was Required to possess normal
vision. stSpecs" we're barred. But
the war offered a new kind of prob
lem. If this requirement had been
insisted upon we could not have rails
ed a force of millions for overseas
service.
It became then, of utmost impor-
tance to provide proper glasses for
men whose vision was imperfect,
and. furthermore, to make sure that
I they could get new ones quickly
when they lost or broke them.
Oculists of high reputation were
commissioned as officers in the eye
service soon after we entered war.
And under their direction were en-
listed numbers of opticians, whose
. business it was to provide glasses in
accordance with the prescriptions
the eye doctor wrote.
To promote the work school of
ophthamology was established in
this country, for the instruction of
students in eye-doctoring. On grad
uation they we're supposed to be able
to prescribe glasses and treat eye
diseases The course they took was
necessarily hurried, but it helped.
It is believed that the statements
here made are strictly correct. If
there is an error it is because Of the
seemingly nonsensical secrecy pre-
s served by the medical department Of
the army. If, as is the case, that de-
partment freely gives out informa-
ton about the mental inspection and
classification of recruits, why should
2 it refuse to let anybody know about
the eye service and its warnings?
The eye service in France has done
great work. 1t has been under the
general direction of a staff of highly
expert oculists, from whose head
quarters have been controlled the ac-
tivities of eight or more so-called
t'optical units" the business of the
latter being to furnish glasses to
soldiers.
The work has been one of the most
important undertaken by our army
authorities during the war. An ade-
quate description of it would yield a
page of fascinating description, with
pictorial illustrations. But, for the
reason above mentioned, 10 such de-
scription is possible.-Popular Sci
