Holland, it is pointed out in dlp'o-

her own dignity which does not con-

More than ah"thing else, she deslr.

which has been a thorn in her sida
since the IIohenzollcrns sought refuge
here in 1918.
That the ex.rulcr IS undoubtedly

Doom is the belief in official circles,
where it is also believed that the
allies will accept the proposal tu
place upon Holland responsibility for
keeping him there. They point to Doom
as being a particularly advantageous
place to intern him, as the village Is
not near any large city and the housr
which the ex-emperor has bought IS
so placed as TO be easily guarded, and
Il is further from the German frontier
than Amcrongcn, where the former
emperor is now living.

FARMERS Of SOUTH
Warned AGAINST A
TOO HEAVY COTTON
ACREAGE FOR 1920

Washington, Feb. 1G.-An increased
acreage in cotton this year Is out Of
.he question. according to Or. Brad
ford Knapp. who recently resigned
as chief OF the office OF extension
work IN the south. with the depart
meIt Of agriculture to become dean
Of the college OF agriculture. Univer-
silly Of Kansas.
The experiences oc 1919 ought to
teach southern cotton farmers that
they cannot handle, with their pres
cut supply Of labor, an increased
acreage in cotton; the labor is not

his last works before leaving the de.

safe Farming in the Southern States
IN 1920"
by safe farming" says DR.,
Knapp, lis meant a system which
Maintains soil fertility, produces the
food and feed for the people and the
livestock in sufficient quantities to
insure q comfortable surplus, and
produces cotton as a strictly cash
crop"
rs safe farming as thus defined

the department OF agriculture.
There are probably those who think
not Cotton is so high--so much high.
cr than ever before. The supply is
apparently so short--the cotton mills
OF the world so greatly in need Of
cotton. 1t is not a time-the once in
a life time--when the farmer can
turn his whole energy to cotton and
make killing" Without specifi.
cllly asking the question. DR.. Knapp
answers il. His word to the farmers
Of the South is that the plan follow
ed the past fcw years is still good.
The only safe plan for farmers, and
bankers, is TO insist upon q safe farm
ing program.
Cotton" DR.. Knapp says, "is 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, 10
the neglect of all else, he says, he
had better make pretty thorough
examination Of the retail prices of
the necessities Of life at the place
where he must purchase them dur
ing the year if he failed to produce
them on his own farm"
Or. Knapp's outline Of safe plant
ing program for 1920 includes:
Good home gardens.
Maintained production OF corn and
increased acrcages where acreage in
sufficient 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 produc'
tion.
There is no thought" says Dr.
Knapp, that cotton acreage ought
to be reduced, but only that the lure
Of price should not blind our eyes
20 the necessity Of food and feed The
purpose now Is mainly not to reduce
the acreage in food and feed crops.
II we provide for the necessaries OF
life and well balanced husbandry,
the production Of cotton can be sus'
talucd In a good season and the pros
perity OF the South assured"
