COTTON CASH CROP ONLY

Washington, Feb 16 An increased
acreage in cotton this year is out OF
the question, according to DR.. Brad
ford Knapp, who recently resigned as
chief of the extension work in the
south with the Department OF Agricul-
lure and became dean of the College
of Agriculture, University of Arkansas
The experience of nineteen-nine-
teen should teach the southern cot
ton farmers that they cannot handle
an increase OF acreage while the pres
ent supply of labor is not there,
writes DR.. Knapp in one of his last
works before leaving the department,
entitled Safe Farming in the South
ern States in Nineteen Twenty" DR..
Knapp says by Safe Farming" is
meant "a system which maintains
soil fertility, which will produce food
and feed for the people and livestock
in sufficient quantities to insure
surplus and produces cot
ton as a strictly cash crop"

cording to the papers, are placed
between the devil and the deep blue
sea"
Although Wilson's attitude is view
ed as excessive in the light of the
"discredit thrown upon his policy by
the resistance Of the senate yet the
fact remains that Wilson is absolute

obliged 70 take him into account" says
