ALABAMA-Southern cotton growers, unable to
sell their crops at the cost of production, have
agreed to cut their cotton acreage in half and raise
on the remaining acreage their own food, being

Many daily papers, in their editorial columns
urge farmers to sell their products and take their
losses. They say all lines of business have been
compelled to do the same Let us turn to the news
columns OF the same papers, especially to the nan-
elal columns, and see what we find:

IOWA-Farmers are burning corn instead of
coal for fuel Under present prices ton of corn is
cheaper than ton of coal. In addition it is diff
cult to get coal on account of the breakdown of
transportation.
MINNESOTA-South st. Paul stockyards are
crowded to capacity with livestock billed to Chicago
markets. Western railroads are dumping the i've
stock here, refusing to allow their cars to be used
between the Twin Cities and Chicago. Because of
the fight between the western and railroads
livestock prices have been forced to the lowest point
i'm years.. The luckiest shippers are compelled Ia
buy feed for their livestock at sockyar prices fixed
by the big Five" while the less fortunate ones are
taking heavier losses due to death of their animals
Are farmers justified in holding their crops in
the face of these prices? Look at this:

the latter part of the statement was true
is indicated by the following:
NEW YORK Unless there is immedi-
ate aid it is estimated that 100000 chill

from tuberculosis or other diseases due to
lack of nourishment, or from actual starya-
tion. The Literary Digest is raising fund
for their relief. Austria, Russia, Germany,
Armenia and many of the Balkan states
are short of wheat and cotton.
HANKOW, China Twenty million Chi
nese are in dire want. People are leaving
their homes by thousands, while those who
can not leave are remaining to die. Chill

and if they can not be sold or given away
they are tied to the trees to keep them
from following their parents. The price of

Don't you think the government might treat the
farmers as kindly as it treats the big bankers and
the railroads
Don't you think that the city papers, that are

Is the farmer getting any help from the

money to hold their crops until they could
get the cost of production.
HELP FOR BANKERS;
NONE FOR FARMERS
NORTH DAKOTA - Eighteen banks
have been compelled to close their doors.
The state bank examiner announces this is
due to the fact that farmers can not sell
their crops for enough to meet their obi
cations and also because the federal re-

the banks from getting needed credit from
the federal reserve banks.

BRo0MS FROM PINE NEEDLES
Said to Be an Excellent Substitute for
the Bristles Now Used, and Will
Last Longer.

One of the latest discoveries is a
new use for pine needles. 1t has been
found that the needles Of the pine
make fair substitute for sbristles In
brushes and brooms. They are found
In great quantities on the ground In
fir forests, and. owing to the large
amount Of silica in them, they are
hard, and do not decay rapidly.
The pine needles are dealt with in
two ways. Where they are long they
are simply punched together and tied
firmly, and stick is pushed down the
center as a handle.
The other plan Is to insert clusters
Of smaller needles In holes In thick
ish piece Of wood. These holes are
filed with hot pitch, and when this
material has set hard and dry the pine
needles are held firmly in place.
Elaborate tests have shown that
pine needles wear well. They are not
more easily broken than much Of the
material which has been commonly
used In Recommending, and. owing 10
their hardness, they can Withstand I
great deal Of friction.
