WASHINGTON. Feb. Ex-senator
Lodge called up the peace treaty in
the senate at 1:42 p. m. today and
at once moved that the senate take
up his proposed amendment on the
reservation relating to withdrawal
from the League of Nations.

AT the moment when Democrats

He quoted TIE statements of Earl

show the Iced for revision of the
treaty.
Mr.. Mccormick criticised Senator
Lodge, his party leader, for being
willing to discuss compromises of the
Lodge reservations, comparing Mr..
Lodges compromise negotiations
with the uncompromising attitude Of
Daniel Webster on questions involv-

YIELD
OF COTTON THIS
YEAR IMPOSSIBLE

WASHINGTON, F'eh.sA16. --F.Ae in
crease in cotton this year is out of
the question:; according TO DR.. Brad
ford Knapp. who recently resigned
as chief of the office of extension
work of the south. with the depart
1nent of agriculture and became dean
of the college of agriculture, Uni
versity of Arkansas.
The experiences of 1919 ought to
teach southern cotton farmers that
they cannot handle. with their pres
ent supply of labor. an increased
acreage in cotton, the labor is not
there" writes Dr.. Knapp in one of
his last works before leaving the
department of agriculture. 1t is en-
titled safe Farming in the Southern
States in 1920"
by safe farming says Dr..
Knapp, lis meant d system which
maintains soil fertility, produces the
food and feed for the people and
the livestock in sufficient quanti-
ties to insure a comfortable surplus.
and produces cotton as a strictly
cash crop"

are probably those who think not
Cotton is so high-So much higher
than it ever was 'beOre. The supply
is apparently short-the cotton mills
OF the world so greatly in need of
cotton. Is it not u time-the once
in a life time-When the farmer can
turn his whole energy to cotton and
make a killing Without specifical-
ly asking the question, DIR. Knapp
answers it. His word to the farmers
of the south is that the plan follow
ed the past few years is still good.
The only safe plan for farmers, and
bankers is to insist upon a safe
farming program.
Cotton DR.. Knapp says, lis not
actually very high. 1t is high as
compared with prices in former
years, not as compared with current
prices Of other commodities. Before
the farmer decides that the high
price of cotton will warrant his
planting the entire acreage to that
crop to the neglect of all else. he
says, he had better make a pretty
thorough examination of the retail
prices of the necessities of life at
the place where he must purchase
them during the year if he fails to
produce them on his own farm"
DR.. Kn4pp's outline of safe
planting program for 1920 includes
Good home gardens. Maintained pro-
duction of corn and increased acre
ages where acreage insufficient for
home use. production of enough
hay and forage crops for southern
livestock for one year. Maintained
production of meats and increase Of
eggs and milk production.
There is no thought" says Dr..
Knapp, that cotton acreage ouglA
to be reduced, but only that the lure
of price should not blind out eyes
to necessity of food and feed. The
purpose now is mainly. not to reduce
the acreage in food and feed crops.
