THE PROSPEROUS FARMER

american farmers have just COM
pleted the most prosperous business
year in history" says the United
States Department OF Agriculture.
Their crops, animals and animal pro-
ducts raised and prepared for market
in 1919 are priced at $24,982 200, 900,
or about $4,000 for each of the 6,OOo,-
600 farmers.
We congratulate the farmers OIL
their prosperity; they have prospercd
Justly, and have received high prices
for their products without prohteer-
ing. The farmer, like all of us, has
had to pay high prices in order to
produce, so in the end his assets for
the year may not be far in excess of
his liabilities.
He has had to pay high for fertiliz-
er, for farm workers, for harness,
gasoline, freight, barrels and bags.
In short the farmer has not escaped
most of the high costs Others have
had to pay
Nevertheless, its gratifying to see
them prosper, and 1919 should only be
the means of inspiring them to strive
for better things in 1920

TALK AND THINK ALASKA

Talk Alaska is .he advice of Ste2- hen s. Wise, one of America's promi- nent leaders in social welfare move
 ments and noted all over the world. Do 1t now, is the next step he advo- cated.
 In other words, if you know Alaska. its possibilities. it's potential sources for greatness. whether it be in scen- cry. in fishing, in timber. in mining. in farming or any other industry don't keep your knowledge bottled up. Give 1t freedom. Turn it loose where 1t will communicate itself to others who lack it
 He a booster for your own country And it is not difficult task for one who knows this great Northland to boost for it. Turn to almost any sec- tion of Alaska and there will be found oppor.unitiee WI ich are deserving uf special mention. Alaskans have be- come so familiar with the possibilities that many of them are taking it for granted ttat they are a matter of common knowledge. Many fail 70 realize that what to them is an olG story, to others IS an unwritten booS.
 Alaska has had lots of publicity and most Of il has been of the wrong kind First, it has been pictured as q land of eternal cold by fictionists who used ic!cles for penpoin.s and with telling effect. This impression has been made deeper by few would be heroes who have written the folks back home about the terrible hard ships they had undergone mushing across the frozen. snow-drif.ed steppes and ice-filled streams in the middle of July. or whatever summer month they happen to hit the frigid zone.
 Then the conservationists got in q deadly blow with their sandbags and the resources the writers of letters and fiction didn't freeze up the latter ele- tleht locked up so tight that 1t has taken two decades to unlock and the process has just started
 Now that the unlocking seems in fair way to begin, it is also propitious
 to start real education campaign about Alaska. And MT. Wise points
 out the way. Talk Alaska. There Is no closed season for that kind of game and only those who know AL
 asoa can really talk about and for it. Others have done it with disasterous l results which can only be counter
 acted by real facts. Alaslsans have

SUPER EVACUATION OF

Alaska is the most be-ruled, be- lawed, and be-regulated of countries. says the New York Times editorially In its issue of July 26th. The editor under the caption of Conserved AL aska" states:

 "Never was truer word spoken of that region of unbounded resources and personalities From the best of motives Alaska has been overconser- we'd and cons.ricted. Her develop ment has been fettered lest somebody should get rich in the process. Not thus did the great states Of the west grow up. They almost paid bounty on energy.

 In a statement recently made at Cordova, "Dr." Brooks declared that Alaska should be governed in Alaska and approved the proposal to establish an Alaska Development Board to ad- minister the Federal resources within the Territory.
 He said that when Secretary Payne took office his knowledge of Alaska to the Territory has opened his eyes. He said, at least. Said pr" Brooks, gained an accurate conception of the size of :he Territory, and now he real izes that it is a pioneer country and must be helped. He declared that the new secretary is man who can and does act quickly when he arrives 1t q conclusion.
 "It is unfortunate" said pr" Brooks. "tha. one mans information and opinion should mean so much to Alaska as it does in the case of the secretary of the interior. because !Al- aska should he governed in the Ter iitory by men who understand" But, accepting conditions as they are. "Dr." Brooks expressed his pleasure that the secretary of the interior had endorsed the idea of the Alaska Development Board
 Secretary Payne recognizes that the great need of Alaska is population, said Dr." Brooks. and he will do all within his power to encourage people to come 90 the Te rritory.
 Dr." Brooks said that in his opin- ion Alaska will develop oil on com- mercial basis. While 1t is said only drilling will demonstrate whether the Territory possesses oil fields of the world, the indications are that oil will be located in commercial quantities in Alaska. It is his opinion that oil will be located in sufficient quantities to supply the local demand and for ex- port. and that there is strong pos sibili.y that great oil field will be located.

 River and Matanuska fields. and also

About Cotton-From c. c.
Smith. County Agricultural
Agent, RosedaIe, Miss.

In the Cotton Bulletin issued BY
the Department of Agriculture on
Dec. Goth, 1919, we find the follow
ing warning against planting half
and-half" cotton:
The attention of the producers
contemplating planting half-and-
half cotton with the hope Of increas-
ing their income per acre through
the production of a large quantity
of lint cotton per acre is directed
to the following facts:
The 'half-and-hali" variety, COM
pared with other varieties, does not
in fact maintain a high rank in the
total lint yield per acre, the large
production of lint to the seed APP
parently resulting from the fact that
the seeds are very small and light.
The lint of this variety of cotton is
of poor character, Irregular, wasty
and very short, much of it being
less than seven-eighths of an inch
in length of staple, seven-eights be-
ing the lowest length tenderable on
future contracts. Spinners have
stated that the fiber of this variety
is so short as to render it wholly
unsuitable for the class of work
which consumes the great bulk of
the seasons growth. Many compe-
tent buyers, large and small, either
decline to handle this cotton, ex-
cept at very great discount, or de-
cline to handle it at all. The pro-
duction in any considerable guam
tity of an inferior variety of cotton
in any community results in injury
to that community's markets as
whole, because buyers will either
withdraw from the district or will
scale down the prices on all cotton
to meet the lower prices which must
be expected from such inferior vari-
ETY.. Various sIat cottonexchanges
in the South have taken official ac-
ton to prevent the delivery of this
cotton on contracts made between
their members. Producers are warn
ed therefore against the lure some
times held out on behalf of this
cotton. Signed Board of Cotton
Examiners, by Il. w. Knight
Chairman.
The cottons giving the highest
money returns at the Holly Springs
Experiment Station and recon-
mended by Mr.. Ames, Director Of
that Station, are Miller, Wanna
maker Cleveland, and Cleveland Big
Boil. They gave higher returns in
the experiments than haIf-and-half,
and have a one-eighth inch better
staple.
