Indians May Develop
German East Africa

There's some reason in the desire
of the men of India to administra-
tor German East Africa. It's Indian
immigrants who do most of the
work in the colony. The Indian al
ways has an ambition to be in bust
ness for himself, SO in time he be-
comes a merchant in a small way.
The few white folks patronize him
and he sends most of the money
home. The natives have little idea
Of the value of the little they raise
and a native woman will walk 60
miles with sixty pounds Of meal on
her head and trade it for a yard and
a half of cotton cloth. But the CHI
mate is deadly to white folks and
the British East Africans will hard
ly help in development of the re-
gion taken from, Germany. So In
dia is likely to have its chance to
send more of its excess population

The Clocks We Wear

The three marks on the back Of a
glove and the clocks on stocking
are due to similar circumstances
The glove mark corresponds to the
fourchette pieces between the fin
gers, and in other days these pieces
were continued along the back of
the hand, braid being used to con-
ceal the seams.
A somewhat similar origin is as
signed to the ornamental clock on
the stocking. In the day when stock
ings were made Of cloth the seams
occurred where the clocks do now,
the ornamentation then being used to
conceal the seams.

Keen Cows Clean

An improvement in the conditions
under which cows are kept on the
average farm will greatly lessen the
labor required in their care, make it
more pleasant, and at the same time
cause the cows to produce more
milk.
The COW must be kept in clean,
comfortable quarters in order to pro-
duce the largest quantity Of milk
and butter. The essentials of such
quarters are:
1. Plenty of light.
.. Plenty of fresh air, with no
drafts.
4. A floor that can easily be kept
clean.

Japanese Manufacturers
Undersell Competitors

Japanese manufacturers in almost
every line of trade are able to under
sell their British and American COM
petitors by as much as 33 1-3 per cent
and still gain a profit, according to
the journal of the Glasgow chamber
of commerce. The trade paper attrib
utes Japan's advantage to lower
wages and facilities for transported
ton.
In 1917, the journal adds. Japan
made a very marked advance in i'm
portation of raw materials and the
conversion of them into finished
goods for export. The cost of labor,
says the paper, is the crucial ques-
ton in the problem of how far Great
Britain can hold her own against
Japanese competition. In the Japa-
nese weaving factories fourteen
women or girls are employed to one
man or boy while the proportion in
the great English textile industry
in Lancashire is two women to one
man.

The Cotton Market Situation

There is no more important prob
lem before the south today than that
of getting fair prices for the south's
cotton crop. The prosperity of our
merchants, bankers and professional
men, as we'll as the prosperity OF our
farmers depend upon the right solu-
tion of this problem and all should
interest themselves in it.
OF two propositions. there seems
to be no reason for doubt:
1. Conditions are such that holders
of spot cotton should not sell at pres
ent prices
1919 crop acreage should be sharply
cuff possible, as much c SO 1-3
per cent.
In other words, /. The present crop
being so short, must surely bring
higher prices than now prevail; but
?. Planting the same acreage we
planted last year might easily PRO
duce a crop so large as to make dis
astrously low prices next fall.
This is the situation in nutshell
Last year the south produced only
156 pounds of lint cotton per acre.
In 1914 we made 200 pounds per acre,
or exactly one-third more per acre
| than last year-which means that If
last years acre yield had been as
good as in 1914, our crop would have
been 100000 bales instead of H.
| 7O0,0
Or it means that if we plant last
years acreage this year and the yield
is as good as in 1914, we will have
15,600,000 bales to market instead OF
100000 as in the case of the pres
ent crop.
We must insist on fair prices for
our 100000 bale c~oD-and we are
confident we shall get better 2rices
than now obtain-but we can't afford
to risk a $4,000, 000-bale crop.
1N1l on
reduce the next crop is manifest!y,
therefore, the one way to relieve the
present cotton situation; but we hope
the present emergency will set US
to thinking about ways to permanent
ly increase the price of cotton. That
next page, and we shall be glad to
have cotton growing readers send us
their views as to the points there
made.-The Progressive Farmer.
