GIVEN PRIVILEGE IN WAR
Channel Islanders for Centuries Were
Not Forced to Take Part in
Britain's Conflicts.

For over two centuries the Channel
islands were allowed 10 remain neu-
tral In any war that England might
undertake. This singular privilege was
granted to them 10y Edward ". and
was not revoked I'LL the reign of VIII
liam and Mary. 1t was granted as
n reward for the loyalty of the island
ers. whose commerce with the neigh
boring coasts Of Brittany and Nor
mandy was constantly being inter
rupted by the numerous wars. Even
the pope joined in enforcing the right,
and by Il bull dated 1889 ScxtuS w
threatened to eXcOmmunicatc any one
who violated the order. On the whole
it was fairly riCidly observed. and when
u Guernsey vessel was taken in the
channel by n privateer of MorlaiX, the
islanders with their boat were re-
leased. hut few Englishmen on
board, with their merchandise. were
captured. The privilege does not
seem to have been of any great com
mercial value, for when II was with
drawn the islanders made more
money than before ny fitting their ves-
sels ont as privateerS.

A Big Cotton Crop May Spell Disaster

In the face of all the present OBJ
stacles to our export trade the South
is preparing to pitch the largest cot
ton crop possible, with the least feed
and food supplies and the highest
prices for these supplies in her his
tory.
If Southern agriculture was ever in
a critical stage of its development it
is this spring of 1920. With large
cotton crop, and it is absurd to state
that we cannot produce and gather a
large cotton crop under favoroble
weather conditions, with high priced
feeds to make this crop and short
production of feed crops in 1920, ne
cessitating buying feeds to make the
cotton crop of 1921, can anyone fail
to see what the results will be to
Southern agriculture and Southern
business prosperity.
If there ever was time when those
who give thought and study to agri-
cultural questions should exert every
effort toward inducing the planting of
large acreage in feed and food
crops it is this year of 1920. In
fact, it is now much more important
than even during the war.-The Pro-
gressive Farmer.
