For the Good of
 the Community

skT EFT the southern farmer exert him.
 A self to the utmost to raise food and feedstuffs, is the advice given by Gov ernor Coolidge of Massachusetts. And continuing he says: ''The south should by all means more largely grow it's own supplies in grains, fruits and meats and it's feedstuffs for live stock, and 1t should also raise as much as possible of the crop for which it is especially adapted cotton } Governor Coolidge lives in section of the country that has grown rich partly on cotton manufacturing, and naturally he is interested in the cotton industry. Cotton manufacturers as a rule, want to buy cot ton cheap. Note what Governor Coolidge says on this point, as quoted in an inter- view published in the Manufacturers Rec ord:
 'No one has any right to ask the cotton farmer to sell his cotton at price that does not bring him profit. The farmer is surely entitled to a profit, but he and all other men who produce owe it to them selves and to the country to raise the vol ume of profitable productivity to the ut most limit. Productivity is now the cry ing need of the hour, south and north and all over the world. But we want some thing more than one-crop men. Let the south be independent by diversity of in- terests and there will be no trouble about securing steady supply of cotton.
 Stressing the importance of raising food crops, Governor Coolidge says:
 There is no question that the south should raise it's food and feedstuffs to the largest possible extent, and for the cotton itraises it ought to get price sufficient to make cotton growing profitable. We want cotton in Massachusetts, but believe we shall, in the end, get more cotton if the south raises more food products"
 The Massachusetts governor adds that men are needed to bring about develop ment and prosperity, men who work in- dustriously and intelligently; men who are willing to add to the productivity of the soil as we'll as the mills.
 Renewed interest in sheep, swine and live stock culture are urged by the gover- nor, and more intensive farming He holds that fewer acres, better cultivated, will increase production, rather than more acres indifferently worked.
 Alabama farmers have turned their at tention to grains and other food and feed stuffs and to cattle and other live stock in recent years with very encouraging re- L--1L l ~L-

EVENING. JAN. u
THAT DE4oCtsATIo "sPIn:"

Nj. Bryan resents the suggestion
that there has been a split between
himself and the president He has
denounced statements which he at
tributes to Republican newspapers to
the effect that there had been such q
break. and he declares that he pres
idents jackson day letter and his own
address on that evening We're pre-
pared without the author Of either
having any knowledge Of what the
other was about to say. just what
bearing this latter statement has on
the situation is not clear. The fact
is that in his letter the president
urged HIS followers to stand pat and
MIR. Bryan urged them to compromise.
The president proposed to submit the
question to the country in a referen-
dunn. and Mr.. Bryan opposed that
plan and pointed out its futility. =
All Of this may not constitute a
split, or a break, but it certainly does
disclose a most decided difference OF
opinion and attitude, and a deter
minetion on the part Of Mr. Bryan
to oppose to the limit the very thing
that the president desires.
As to Mr.. Bryan's accusation that
Republican papers are trying tos Gre
ate the appearance of a break where
none exists, that is little far
fetched. Representative newspapers
Of Nj. Bryan's. own party, papers that
have all along been outspoken in their
