INVESTING IN FOREST CROP
Less Actual Cash Called for Than in
Any Other Form of Enterprise
on Many Farms.

A forest crop calls for less actual
outlay Of cash in proportion to the
final income than any other form of
enterprise. An investment of $40 ia
SIS an acre, with a small annual
carrying charge, in 40 to so years will
produce return equivalent to from
4 to 6 per cent compound interest for
the period involved.

an excellent opportunity for getting

and that is for the Federal Reserve banks to resume printing their make shift currency. That Is about the only remedy l can see in sight for the present conditions and that is what those banks were created for, if they do not do this, they are just as use- less to the people as were the private institutions, which they superseded. If the laboring people keep on with their present policy no harm would come of the issuance of sufficient amount of money to transact the public business. We could also use this additional circulation to extend credit to Germany and other foreign countries and allow them to absorb our surplus cotton and other prod ucts at a good price. This is abso- lutely the only immediate way out of our trouble and if adopted should bring immediate relief to our people and it would also feed the starving and dying people of the old world. If the laboring people are going to insist on carrying their surplus wealth in their pockets our treasury printing presses under such condi- tions will have to be kept running night and day for years to fill said pockets. Then in addition to our own people hordes are coming over from Europe daily and they will not only want to fill their own pockets, but will insist on filling the pockets of their relatives back in Europe, where our money would soon become the circulating medium of all those countries and most of the other countries of the world. Our Fed eral Reserve banks were created to prevent panics and we were promised

 People are most through picking cotton, gathering corn and digging late potatoes and this is fat time for us farmers-notwithstanding our cotton is low in price. But we have living at home, such as hog and hominy. The weather is ideal for killing fat hogs, making sausage, head cheese and living good. Our school is progressing nicely, good at. tendance, good instructors make things move nicely in school room.
 There will be a meeting at the Olmstead school house Saturday night in the interest of the Farm Bu- reau-everyone should attend this meeting. We must fight for our rights. The middleman seems to be getting most of our profit.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH
 THE TIMES?

More than one person wants to know the answer to the above ques- tion so I am going to answer it the best l can. The circulation medium amonts to $37 per capita and nearly every working man, white and black, has forty to fifty dollars spending money in his jeans, nor does 1t stop there for a good many of the wives have even more and the girls and boys also have a nice little bunch of the long green held out of circulation while the babies even have so many of the pennies put away in their little banks, that it's keeping all the hints busy making new ones. We'll the most sensible remedy would be for everybody to deposit their money in bank and restore 1t to circulation, but everybody is not going to do that There is a reason why they will not There have been a few court decis- ions lately which have decided that If a Union goes on a strike the firm, which they have struck against can sue them for damages and if it wins then not only the funds of the Union, but the individual money of the members can be used to satisfy the judgment. Laboring people had been advised years ago to take their money out of the banks and keep it out, if they wished to cripple the masters and this wise decision of our higher courts has evidently forced them to take this advice, whether they wished to or not.
 There Is yet another remedy, which was practiced during the war and un- til our financiers shut down on 1t
The Pulaskian., 1920-11-18

that in case of a panic they would put into circulation a sufficient sup ply of Federal Reserve notes to pre- vent panic, but instead of that they have deliberately brought about the present panic, claiming that 1t was their duty to prevent the extrava- gance of the people. Claiming that they were doing this for the benefit of the farmer, to enable him to en- ploy cheap labor, they have bank rupted the farmer and 1t does not matter how cheap labor gets he will not have dime left to pay him for a days work The thing to do is for the farmer and others to demand that for which 1t was created to do, i. e., issue in times of panic sufficient of its notes to tide the people over the panic.
 I suppose at the very least the Fed eral Reserve banks will not let our solvent banking institutions break for the lack of its notes and hence 1t will be possible for ordinary people, who are out of debt and do not be- long to any union, for whose debts they are responsible, to deposit their money in bank. Our Little Rock banks, taken in connection with the Arkansas law insuring depositors, are as near safe as banks can be made by law and our people should put their money in them and pay their accounts with checks. As for our country subscribers they will find it to their best interests to put their money in bank also. My space is too limited to tell you of all the advantage this would be to them, but one of these banks, the American Bank of Commerce and Trust Co.,, advertised in a recent issue of the Pulaskian, requesting farmers to write them for a booklet, Farmer Aliens Story" which they will send free to any one asking for it, and this booklet will explain 1t fully. 1 will take it as a personal favor for each subscriber to write for a copy of this booklet. Probably the other banks have similar matter, which they furnish free, and any of them will be more than pleased to explain the benefit a good bank is to its de positors. Now 1 have not written this at the suggestion of any bank or other person. It is just my own personal opinion and have not writ ten it because hard times have struck

Saturday l visited one of my friends in Little Rock, who is large cotton buyer. He informed me that he had bought good cotton that day for IS cents, the very same grade for which he paid 40 cents in July. His positive opinion is that cotton will go much lower. He can see no req son for hoping that it will go higher. As he was just about as positive last July that it would go to 60 cents, his opinion is now my first reason for thinking the price of cotton will go up.

No soils affords a more congenial
home for plants and no sells can feed
and grow crops more efficient than
those of Florida. For this there are
many good reasons which soil investi-
gators recognize.
A chemical analysis may show a
great or small amount Of plant food
in soil, but this in itself does not
tell which soil would produce the
greatest crops. The soils containing
a large cmount of plant food may be
poorer cropping soil for the reason
that its plant food may be so chem
ically combined as to be released in
smaller quantities than a soil con-
tanning little plant food.
Florida soils arc generous in Civ
ing up their plant food to crops.
Their natural endowment in fertility
is not great, but tie efficiency witt:
which it is used is unsurpassed.
Nor is this true Only of its natural
fertility. 1t is equally true of APP
piled plant food.
Why are these soils so responsive?
Soils containing sand ard every
where quicker acting and more gem
erous in giving to the crops that
which they have, than soils made up
of mere divided PARTICLES like silt
and clay. The silts and clay are
usually richer than the sandy Soils
but rightly managed the sander soils
are potentially the most productive,
because of t,e'r ability to quickly
and efficiently give up rourishment
to the growing plant.
Florida's climate is an important
factor in the efficiency Of the soil.
