Industries to the Pine Tree state It de
clares that the buying of bonds to help
consummate this great undertaking is
almost az vital as it was to buy Liberty
bonds during the war
Maine has held its election so that
this appeal can not be laid on the front
doorstep of politics. 1t must be that the
spirit of progress has suddenly permeated
the very air of New England in gen;
eral, as well as Vermont This means
that there may be friendly rivalry. and
strife to see which state shall make the
greater progress during the coming two
years under truly progressive leadership
Vermont is ready for the race.

HOW MUCH COTTON WIN EUROPE
WANT NEXT YEAR

In The last issue of the Cotton and
Cotton Oil News, of Dallas, Editor, N.
T. Blackwell says: Jack Blackwell has
just returned to New York from a
three months stay in Europe where he
gave special study to cotton mill con
ditions. and he reports that IS per cent
OF all mills in Western Europe will be
10 operation by September /, and all of
them BY January l. What docs this
mean? It means an unusually heavy de-
msnd for all grades of American cot
ton"
In this connection we are reminded
that the New York Economic World of
July 10 published noticeable review of
The Situation of the Cotton Industry
on the Content of Europe" BASED on
conditions in March May, 1920. Every
body knows that English mills were
uninjnred by 1.-The war, and are now
pheDOmenally prosperous. In fact,
their dividends have been scandalousl,
lsrges But what is the condition on
the continent of Europe? Based on
lengthy article in the New York Eco
nomic World, we have prepared the
following table which roughly approx
mates the conditions by countries ac-
cording TO these March-May reports.
The first colnmn Of these figures show
the number of thousand of spindles in
each country before the World War
began. The second column shows the
number OF spindes in that country lin
thousands) at the present time. The
third column shows the percentage of
these Spindles working March May,
1920. The fourth scolumn shows the
number of thousands Ut bales of Am
erican cotton required by each country
annually prior to the World War. The
fifth and last column shows the annual
quirments Of America cotton from
each country. in thousands of bales

The opening price for cotton seed in
sections Of the south. already ginning
has been around $50 per ton. price by
no means meets their feeding value
and unless this price is raised before
the ginning season is opened here ii is
earnestly hoped that not a seed will be
offered for sale by local cotton growers.
The price cannot remain at that figure
long and every seed should be stored. by
the grower until he lie offered a fair
price. The cotton seed mill man is
getting almost that much for the bulls
from "a ton of seed. aside from the
meal and oil, while altogether he gets
no less than three or four times what
ne is offering for the seed.

II was told the editor of The Falcon
last week that report had il that we
owned stock in certain oil schemes in
the western oil fields. We want here
to state that we have pra,ticed exactly
what we have preached il the stock
buying business. We don't own stock
oil concerns any where nor in any
other get rich rich-quick companies
that propose to make one rich over
night. We subscribed $500 in stock to
the company which started last year TO
test for oil in Fsyette county. but the
organization of the company was not
completed and no stock was issued and
no money collected. This is the limit
of our oil Investment and will continue
to be the limit Of our oil investment
unless Se can help develop test in
this county, in which case we would do
our utmost in many and work. just for
the development of our own county,
but outside of Fsyet county no penny
for q oil investment.

These figures, based on reports from
Country

These figures, based on reports from
February ] TO June of this year. in
dictate very rapid recovery from the
effects of war in nearly ell countries
except Austria and Poland, and go far
to back up the opinion of MIR. Black
well. If we have a low acre yield Of
cotton this year together with such an
increased European demand as now
seems probable, cotton might indeed go
rs per cent higher, Mr.. Blackwell sug-
gests. The Progressive Farmer.

Prices of cotton have dropped but
those of cotton goods have no: prices
of cattle, sheep and hogs have dropped
but prices of beef mutton and pork
have not dropped IN preparation: prices
of wool have dropped but prices of
Gather and shoes have not: prices Of
wool,have dropped, but the price of wool
products are even higher; and so it
might go on with every product of the
farm. The farm products have fallen
off tremendously in prices but the stuff
the manufacturer makes from the farm
products continues to cost about as
much as ever. Cotton seed are being
sold in the far south where new cotton
seed is being ginned and the prices
paid are in some places as low as,$l7. so
per ton and no where more than $22,
and the prices of hulls in Memphis job
ing circles are sl4 per ton, meal around
$55 per ton. Does it look fair to the
producer?
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1920-09-03

The mos t serious problem confront
ing cotton growers right now is the
daily decline in prices of the staple. A
month ago spot quotations at our near
est central market were around AZ cents
per pound and the drop in quotation
since has brought it to "a cents, about
$40 per bale less than it was a month
ago. Fayette county will probably
raise Is, 900 bales this year, and this
mean. loss of million dollars from
quotation of one month ago. and that
in face of fact the present crop is far
the most expensive MADE here in a
generation.

1t does the heart of a man grown 10

good to see the present corn crop IN Fay
cite County. In visiting schools over
the county the past four weeks we have
Travelled nearly 500 miles by dirt road
and in twenty years residence in the
county we have never seen better or
bigger corn crop. 1t does net look like
farmers will have to pay $3.50 per
bushel as many did last year for the
corn to make a crop on.

THE Thing THATWAS ONCE A TREI

THE Thing THAT WAS ONCE A TREE
Along with what Mr.. Wallice has to
say about the foolish hacking-up of
trees by telephone linemen, look at this
mutilated young elm. 1t tells its own
story, and the story is one of vandalism
so unnecessary and so wanton as to be
disgraceful alike to the men who perpe-
trsted it and the public sentiment that
allowed it. Tall telephone poles can be
put up in day; but fine, wide spread.
ing shade giving tree takes a long time
to grow. II is the product of all the
forces of nature working years.
Then, when nature has produced this
thing of beauty and delight by its
long years of patient care, along can
come dull-minded or small-souled,
fellow with an axe and destroy it ell in
a few hours. How much longer are we
going to put up with such destruction?
How much longer will it take US to
learn to value the old, friendly, beauti.
full trees as they deserve to be valued.

There are assertions In trade papers
that dealers in cotton futures have
made extremity heavy October sales at

pressing the August and September

that SO per cent of the stock offered:by

No less than half dozen teachers

schools Of this county have reported the
past week that they can not get a

and, hence, could not accept the place.
Where possible other assignments of

while with few others no teachers
we're available end the places are yet
vacant. This 10 Q sad state of affairs,
that ANY community would not inter
est itself to see that the teachers found
homes, the very most comfortable in
the community, and it is regretted that
any school in Fayette county should be
hindered for such 9 reason. Until there
is local interest enough to guarantee
the admission Of teachers to some one
of the besta homes In. the community
the school will never reach its maxim
