Clemson College Has Prepared a Statement
on Cost Of Glowing Cotton.

Ipense were incurred except picking
and ginning. The dead loss of income
from abandoned acreage is much
severer blow to the framer than if
he had broken even.
Taking 33,396,oOO bales as the
acreage, and the government esti-
mate of 10,696,0OO bales as the crop,
we have as the estimated production
per acre 81 bales. Counting 1,400
lpounds seed cotton to make 500
lpounds of lint (Which is very near
the average), this means that we
!have an acreage production averag-
ling 434 pounds of seed cotton per
;acre. This means 155 pounds lint
land 279 pounds seed.
l submit the following as the most
accurate estimate that / can make
covering the average per acre cost of
producing cotton over the entire pelt.
[Some of the items of expense are
|greater than given in certain locali-
[ties, but this is given as an estimate
|of the average cost.

The cotton farmers of the South
can make an average profit of $7.4a
net profit per acre on 35-cent cotto1a
despite the fact that the great acre.
age abandonment for 1919 has rel
suited in a production of less than q
third of a bale to the acre; at 30
cents a pound there is slight profit
and there would be $15.19 net profit
per acre if the price were 40 cents
a pound, according to statement
from D. w. Watkins, acting director
of the extension department Of
Clemson College, prepared for Goy1
ernor Cooper by special request, and
made public by the Governor Saturs
day.
Mr.. Watkins says that the governa
ment's estimate of the cotton crop
and the acreage prophesies an ave.
rage production of only 81 bales to
acre this season. The statement Of
the Clemson official regarding the
cost of producing cotton is based on
government estimates of the 1919
crop. Mr.. Watkins says: a
The estimated acreage being culz
tivated in cotton on June 25th was
S9,960,000 acres. This is the acreage
which should be used in computing
the cost of producing cotton, even
though some of it may have to be
abandoned subsequently, for the reas

Business and Finances

dency toward conservatism is found
among the merchants, who, despite the
lavish buying of luxuries and other
merchandise, are carrying compare
lively small stocks of merchandise and
manufactured products, measured in
volume.
One factor in this, however, appar-
emily is the limited amount of raw
material and the continued high prices.
Mercantile concerns hesitate to stock
up at high prices in face of anevitable
subsequent readjustment to lover
level. Bankers are beginning to
scrutinize their loans more closely
with view of checking a possible dis
position on the part Of borrowers ne
gotiating loans ostensibly for COM
mercial purposes when working cap
ital is gradually being absorbed in
plant expansion. The banking situa-
ton continues to reflect heavy Dor
rowing.
Cattle feeding and other agricultural
purposes, as we'll as manufacturing,
and the continued high price level
call for a use of credit in peace times
equal to, if not great than, a year
ago when we were at war.

COMING TO CALDWELL
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7TH

With Norway as its stage "Thelma, ,
drama from the book of Marie
Corelli. will be presented at the Bun
galow.
AS goes the novel, Lord Philip Err
dington, from London, is cruising of
the shore of Norway when he acct.
dentally anchors in a pretty little har-
Dor, and when he goes ashore he meets
Olaf Guldmar, who has very fascin-
ating daughter by the name of Thel-
ma. In the course of Errington's
visit with the old man he learns to
love Thelma, then, as event succeeds
event, Thelma falls in love with Err
rington. But never rose without its
thorns, and Siguard, caliban sort oil
a fellow, also loves Thelma, whom
he hates to see taken away from her
home in Norway. But his love is SO
purely unselfish that he assedes to her
going when he learns that she SO
chooses and Thelma is off for Lon
don as the wife of Errington.
Then green-eyed jealousy creeps in
to their home and through the COM
bination of two villains, one a woman
and the other a. man, Thelma is led to
believe that her husband has not been
true to her. Very naturally, it hurts
her, yet she clings devoutedly to her
husband with her love, but, however
decides to go back to Norway Abou,
this time Lovica, witch, who had
pronounced curses upon Thelma and
her father because he turned her love
aside when he was YOUNG appears and
adds insult to Thelma's wounds. The
old witch dies after-stahhiro helm q

wounds. A moment later Philip Err
rington appears and comforts Thelma
proves his innocence and they are
ready to go on again and complete
their happiness.

FAVORS EARLY PUBLICITY
FOR PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANI

WASHINGTON-The Republican
Publicity association, through its
president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr,,
today gave out the following state
ment from its Washington Head
quarters:
Although the Republican Publicity
association takes no part in the nomi-
nation Of candidates and gives no
special attention to conventions or
elections, it appreciates the desirable
ity Of securing early and widespread
publicity for the views upon public
questions of all men who are active or
tentative candidates for presidential
nomination. In a republic such as
ours, where the voters express them
selves directly at the polls, either by
marking ballots bearing the names of
individual candidates or the names of
delegates to conventions pledged to
the support of certain candidates,
there can be no intelligent expression
of public opinion unless the voters of
the party thoroughly understand the
principles and policies which the vari-
Gus candidates support.
THE Republican Publicity associa-
ton is firmly convinced that the well
fare of the country will be promoted
by early dissemination of the opinions
held by presidential aspirants and a
frank and friendly discussion of the
same, pro and con, in order that those
who shall be nominated shall be men
thoroughly representative of the de-
Hibernate judgment of the majority of
the members of the party. Truly rep
resentative government will be pro-
NOTED by frank and complete state
ment of political principles before a
candidate is nominated. Open cove
nants openly arrived at is a principle
that may we'll be followed in framing
a covenant between proposed public
servant and the public whom he is to
serve.
For these reasons, the Republican
Publicity association commends the
political innovation inaugurated by
Senator Poindexter in announcing
eight months before the national con-
vention his candidacy for the Repub-
