SAYS FARMER
MUST FIGURE
PRODUCTIONCOST

Declaring that a return to slavery
would be. necessary if the cotton
planter were to raise and sell his
product at the present low figure. w.
w. Morrison, of the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange has written very
interesting article to the American
Cotton association in Atlanta.
Mr.. Morrison says that the public
has entertained an erroneous opinion
as to the position occupied by cot
ten in the economic life of the SOUTH
and that labor which cost nothing
during slavery times, now had to be
paid for at very high rates, and
therefore added to the cost of the
production of the staple.
He stresses in his article that
when farmers realize that they
aren't raising cotton under the old
NEGRO slave" regime, but begin to
figure the cost of production and de-
nand a fair price for their product
then cotton will cease to be a liabil-
ity and prove a very valuable asset
the cotton gelds," he writes under
the most mretched condition of pow
erty, yet for the better part of half
century their labor was not charg-
ed up against cotton as an item of
expense in production. Now, that
labor costs, and costs dearly, it must
be charged against the price for
which the staple is sold"
Mr.. Morrison said that this habit,
formed IN slavery days, had become
SO cryStallized. that many farmers
even today do not consider the cost
of raising their crops, and therefore
are unable to get a higher price than
they are now getting.
He hFTS prepared a cost chart for
the 1919 crop Of cotton, which is
printed below

thentic sources came the information

non.union miners at once in the four
Texas mining districts.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? IL
STRAIGHT RAINLESS DAYS

It is hard to believe, yet it is a fact
that there has been during the latter
part of July and the fore part of Au-
gust period Of II days during which
there was no rain. This is an unpar-
alleled drought for this season. How
ever. .l3 of an inch on one day and
30 the next broke the dry spell. Au-
gust will have to change to break into
the record column that the other
months have established, but that is
not saying that it cannot be done.
A summary of July's weather oper-
atons brings out the interesting fact
that the minimum temperature of IS
was reached on July 4th, while max
imum records were made on July s,
10, IA, and IS when the thermometer
went to GO. Since then it has gone to
81. July brought rainfall Of 8.74
inches with the heaviest single rainfall
being l.55 inches on July 26. In 19
days only .0l inch Of rain fell.
There were l6 days during which the
sky was practically cloudless despite
small showers, and which have been
classed as clear. Six days were partly
cloudy, and 9 were cloudy. 1t was not
altogether a satisfactory month. but
August is making a record which

MAGAZINE PROPAGANDA

To curb National Calculations, de-
clare the publishers of large magazines,
is to curb public opinion. Meaning,
likely, that the people of America are
fools. and that they must read the
great and wise rot written by men in
New York easy chairs before they can
form a notion of what is what in the
worldl
Therefore. as the people of America
comprise a great collection of molly
coddIes and knownothings, the zone
rate postal plan must be repealed The
people must have the opportunity to
be told by the big Publishers what is
good for them and what they should
and should not do.
The people Of our state for instance.
are not capable, of forming their own
opinions without aid from New York!
Magazines must be circulated among
the people Of Quincy or Quincy finds
herself provincial and unable to steer
a straight course on the sea Of nation
al patriotisml
The propaganda Of the big publish
ers against the zone rate system is a
downright insult to the intelligent peo-
pie Of this country. 1t is insulting to
tell any man that he hasn't sense
enough to form his own opinion.
Magazines should repeal the Zone
law because it curbs public opinion for
sooth. Yet the sane and Just man
knows that the zone rate plan is the
greatest thing for public opinion in the
world. For it guards your home news
papers. It makes possible the more
complete circulation Of periodicals that
are right now in the field and know
home conditions.
The home newspaper knows that its
people have intelligence. The nation
al magazine contends that they have
not until the magazine has impaired
some Of its own super-intelligence to
them.
To repeal the zone rate system will
tend to drive the home newspaper out
because Of the great money that is Be-
hind the magazine trust. The sincere
man will find himself strong against
any plan TO repeal the zone rate pos.
