LESS COTTON AND MORE MONEY.

Once more the farmer and the farm
er's friend are planning "A smaller cot
ton acreage. in the belief that re-
duced yield of cotton will bring more
money than greater yield. Such
movements to reduce the acreage de-
voted to cotton have generally done
some good. During later years the
farmers have stood better together
than ever before and have seen the
good effects of standing together. Also.
all classes Of the American people have
had lessons in organization during the
past twenty months Of war work and
they will always be easier to organize
in their own interest from this time
onward The following letter, urging
the farmer to plant less cotton. comes
from the office of Hon. Harry ID. Will
son. who has been made President OF
the Cotton States Advirory Marketing
Board. and will probably have the de-
osition than merely Il question of what
cotton is going to be worth next fall.
The letter follows:
Nh Dear Friends: 1t is well
known fact that Il small cotton crop
has always sold for more money than
Il large one. When our crop runs be-
tween eleven and twelve million
bales the farmer realizes more ac-
tual cash money than when it runs
from twelve to fifteen million bales
In other words. you can get as much
if not more for eleven bales than you
do for fourteen or fifteen bales. Then
why do you want to increase your
cotton acreage to the detriment Of
your food and feed crops. especially
when the whole world is crying for
more food and feed!
Another thing, my good friends. to
remember is that freight rates have
increased from 20 to 10 per cent,
and if the fellow in tile North and
West grows your food and feed crops
you surely will have to pay these in
creased rates.
The world depends OH the South
for its cotton and it is not my pur-
pose to try to prevent your planting
some cotton. but what we want to
| try and impress upon you Is, do not
let the apparent high price of cotton
cause you to increase your cotton
| acreage and decrease your food and
| feed acreage.
If you do not think cotton at the
present price the cheapest commodity
grown Oh your farm. just stop and
| figure little. Bacon. 36 cents per
POUND: lard. 26h cents per pound;
corn meal. $S per barrel: live hogs.
II to II cents per pound: cattle. >1a
to Il cents per pound on foot, and all
ether farm products in proportion.
Now let us all try to get together
/ and grow between eleven and twelve
/ million bales of cotton. and get fair
price for it. If the Southern farmer
loses his head and plants an increas-
ed acreage of cotton he just as well
make up his mind to take less for his
cotton next fall and winter.
In conclusion. please remember one
thing. a small cotton crop has always
brought more money than a large
one.

TODAY'S PEACE
DEVELOP LOPMENTS
(By Associated Press,)

Austria's peace delegates will
not receive the peace terms until
Monday. Several Of the smaller
powers directly interested in the
treaty to be offered Austsia have
asked for 4s hours in which to
study the pact. This makes It ne.
cessary for the conference to hold
another pienary session Saturday.
Ths 4 AustriiE delegation has
been informed that Presentation
Of the treaty will not take place
until Monday, and has acquiesced
in the decision, Of the conference.
There Is no intimation. Of a dis.
agreement in the conference over
the terms, but It was pointed out
by Count 3 ritiano o. Roumania
that Poland, Serbia and other
small nations desired short time
for consideration. The vexing
problem Of the disposition Of ~.
ume has, according to Paris ad-
vices, been definitely decided.
Fiume becomes an independent
state which will be under the pro.
lection Of the league Of nations.
Italy has been given strategic
islands along the coast, but there
seems to be some discrepancy in
dispatches 40 to the future Of
cara, capital Of OaIinatia.

RETURNABLE WEDNESDAY

On application of Attorney General
LANCER, Chief Justice Christianson on
Thursday afternoon issued an alterna.
tive, writ Of Mandamus returnable
next Wednesday morning at 10, o'clock
directing Secretary of State Hall to
show cause why he should not sign
the. Bank ot Nortt I.lFg gakotaa p at bonds Of
which a1se0e 600 have iibeeno prepared
for the signature Of the secretary Of
state By the governor and state. treas
urer. s@ets5 rG ,-tr
Mr.. Hall has declined to sign the
bonds because he contends the two
million issue being unsecured, con-
flicts with tho league amendment to
the constitution requiring that any
bonded Indebtedness in excess of ST.
100000 be secured by first mortgages
on farm property or the property of
state-owned utilities. Mr. Hall makes
this contention on the grounds that
the state already has . bonded indebt-
edness of 100000, and that the pro.
posed issue of two million will exceed
the limit allowed for unsecured in
debtedness. The attorney general in
an opinion furnished Mr.. Hall two
days ago. holds that the states bond
ed Indebtedness prior to January 1
cannot be taken into consideration,
and that the state can legally issue
two million In bank bonds without Sc.
curity. \,
In hearing on the mandamus action
brought by Mr., LANCER, the secretary
of state probably will be represented
by Attorney W. H Stutsman of Man
