RELIEF FOR FARMERS.

There is no problem before
congress, which convened Monday
more urgent than relief Of the
conditinos confronting the farm
ers Of this country. The basis of
all wealth is the soil, and if the
ftillers Of the soil suffer there can
be no real prosperity for the bal
ance of us. While all classes are
affected to some extent by the
process Of readjustment from the
war era, with it's imitation and ar
tificialty, the farmers arae the
hardest hit Of all. Their products
sell in the markets today for less
than the cost of production. The
inevitable consequence, unless re-
lief is afforded, lis ruin for many
and encouragement for all. The
country cannot afford to permit
such condition to exist. No
greater economical tragedy could
occur than wholesale abandon
ment of the farms, which would
follow.
There is gratifying evidence
that an appreciation of the gravi-
.ty of the situation exists in re-
sponsible quarters, and remedial
legislation may be hoped for from
the congress now in session. The
Governors conference last week
in northern state made some re-
Communications worthy of serious
consideration, not least of which
was the admonition that "there
ought to be united effort.in every
community to keep any good man
from being destroyed because he
cannot Immediately meet his OBJ
legations. AS the Governors re-
port urged, there should be a
complete mobilization of the fl
nancial and spiritual assets of
every Community" in the interest
not alone of the farming industry
but Of all industries which may
suffer from existing and impend-
ing conditions.
The plan of Senator Hitchcock
to- make available the profits of
the Federal Reserve banks, a.
mounting to about $6O,OOO,O 900,
for loans to agricultural interests !;
the proposed rehabilitation of the
War Finance Corporation, to fl
nance exports of surplus crops,
and various other plans Of relief
being presented to congress, de-
serve most serious consideration,
but action of some kind must not
be long delayed. A minimum of
discussion and maximum of ac-
tion are called. for. Works, not
wind, are wanted.

FARMERS MUST
PROTECT THEMSELVES
Cotton Acreage Reduction Pledge
to American Cotton AssOcia-
tiOn for 1921.
To the Farmers and Business In
terests of the Gotten States:

U Iut dlIIlerS anu business lI-
terests of the Gotten States:
The production ef any money
crop to be sold as less than cost
plus a reasonable Profit to the
growers, means ultimate financial
bankruptcy.
The present restricted use of
American Cotton due to the ina
bility of the cotton mills of CEN
trala Europe to purchase supplies
of the ray material has had the
effect of accumulating q surplus
in this country which has been
used to force down far below the
cost of production. Until these
conditions change and the world &
spindle capacity returns t6 nor
NAL operations it will be suicidal
for cotton growers in this country
to continue production on the
same acreage as was planted ia
1920.

farmers make their farms self

When you get over-tired day

rid of so much waste it can't

The result is that your blood is

your system. sss ssss
You look bad, you feel poorly.
You get out of patience easily.

That, is no way to live. Your
blood needs help for time. 1t is

that fine tonic, Pepto-Mangan.
Pepto- -Mangan purifies the blood

In little while you'll have plenty
of rich, red blood and you won't

medicine. 1t contains iron. and
other ingredients that feed starv-

Physicians have prescribed Pep
to-Mangan for years.
Pepto-Mangan is sold in liquid

renders it further necessary that
cotton acreage on each farm be
further restricted in order that
the ravages Of the insect may be
reduced to as light damage as pos
sible by better cultural methods

To maintain satisfactory credit

must of necessity at this critical
