 SIGHT OF GERMANY

BERNIE, June 5.-The sight of Ger man soil has a depressing effect on ex-Emperor Carl of Austria-gives him that "all gone" feeling. So much so that he's given up his beautiful Wartegg Chateau on the banks of Lake Constance and gone to live at Nyon, on Lake Geneva. He'd rather look across the water into French ter ritory than into Germany, and so he'll live in little Nyon, where up to few years ago cyclists were made to dis mount and trundle their wheels through the village streets.

Cheap labor, both white and
black and that poorly housed. poor

educated. has produced the most
a abundant and least expensive sup
ply of clothing that the world has
ever known. On the other hand. If
we would exact better living
from the world in return for cot
ton produced what must we do?
The answer is simple. Produce all
the corn. oats, hay. wheat, strip,
Irish and sweet potatoes. vege-
tables. pork. milk, butter, fruit and
other products needed TO properly
nourish every person living on the
farm for 365 days in the year.
Each farmer should produce a
small surplus of some of these
things for the city people in the
south There is no other course
possible. This done, grow cotton. 80

banker and the merchant. but now
both bankers and merchants are
in the game Bankers have eX-
tended every cent of credit they
can on cotton. and merchants real
ize that unless profits are made in
cotton production farmers cannot
pay up.
The old method in the south
was to keep everybody indebted to
the storekeeper and banker. The
new method is TO so conduct south
ern agriculture that farmers will
ne free from debt and add to the
prosperity Of their section by de-
posting their money in the bank
and becoming free and independent
citizens.
The feeling is becoming very in
tense. and any farmer who thinks
that he can make a pledge 10 re-
duce his acreage and then increase
il on the sly Will be summarily
dealt with by his more loyal neigh
bors.
In those counties having county
agents and boards of agriculture
the movement has had smooth sail

This should be the slogan:
"Stop growing cotton until every
farmer has first raised food for his
family"
After that necessary foundation
is laid they can put in all the cotton
that the remainder of their acres
will grow and they ought TO.
The south must feed itself first 1t
must raise corn. potatoes and hogs
in abundance and have a surplus TO
sell. Then there will be no danger
of raising an oversupply of cotton,
for two every evident reasons: First.
the farmer will be independent be
cause he VIII not be hungry and in
debt and he can hold his cotton.
Second, raising enough food viii re-
strict the acreage automatically.
After man has raised his feed he
is entitled TO an ne can possibly
make i'm raising cotton says Frank
Baackes, vice president American

Heretofore such movements
have failed because the farmer

he did not receive the support of the
