If the south holds to the cotton that
it now has on hand and undertakes to
raise as much more as it can, it is go
ing to eventually sell the remainder of
this crop and all Of the next crop for
less than it can get for the cotton 1t
now has. That ought to be plain to
everybody. The only way to get fair
price for the cotton on hand is to plant
very little more. People WHO now have
cotton on hand will do we'll to plant
no more. OF course, many of these
people will resent this suggestion with
the query, well. if we don't plant
cotton what are we going to do?" The
only answer that we can give is that
Anything, or nothing IS better than
planting more cotton" and those peo-
pie who go ahead with it anyway are
going to find out that we are correct.

The treasury department reported
last week that the big issue Of treasury
certificates sold in anticipation Of the
Victory loan had been largely over
scribed and that the oversubscriptions
came entirely from New York, Boston,
Chicago and other points in the east
north and west. Exactly. If the south
should get for her cotton crop what
she is entitled to those oversubscrip-
tions would have come from the south,
and until the south makes the world
pay a fair price for her cotton crop
there will be no oversubscription to
anything from the south.

We have no reports yet as to wheth-
er the farmers have begun to report
hogs to the bankers and others on the
basis Of the cooperative marketing
plan outlined in the last issue of The
Enquirer. We have no definite infor-
nation as to how many, if any hogs,
the farmers have to spare; but we do
not mind saying that this cooperative
idea is most excellent one, which
carries promise Of great benefit to this
whole section.

International collectors are max
ing. a vigorous effort to rectify
methods in vogue that prevent the
government from getting its full
share of war taxes. For instance
the practice of admitting girls free
at public dances must stop. In the
past men have paid an admittance
fee but young women have been adj
mitted free. Government officials
state that the tax on amusements
admits no free admissions. Even
complimentary tickets for shows
must pay the revenue tax. Land
sales where the consideration is
given in the deed at $1OO will no
longer be permissible, but each
deed must show the actual financial
transaction At street fairs, car
nivals and county fairs, all amuse-
ment exhibitions have been waited
upon by officials from the revenue
department and the tax made and
provided for such things has been
exacted.
