small acreage, no wpromises (by rea-
son of the farmers response to the
call for increased acreage and better
cultivation, and the favorable seasons)
to be around 44,000,000 bushels, the
largest in our history, exceeding even
the record yield of 1917 by about four
million bushels.
"Then, too, we have more hogs in the
state than ever before; and our live
stock is increasing rapidly in number
and value. We have an immense
crop of fine hay; and we have excep-
tional yields Of sirup, big crop of
sweet potatoes, etc.
"Now if our people will lturn atten-
tion as early as possible to the seed
ing of large grain crop, there is no
danger of want of food or feed or of
being forced to the expense Of buying
these things from other states with
the money from low priced cotton.
"The newspapers Of October 2lst
carry an interesting artr le from Sec
retary H. G. Hester, of the New Or
leans Cotton Exchange, who makes the
statement that there is nothing the
matter with the South beyond an un-
reasonable scare in cotton, and points
ou that this decline, the greatest in
the history of the market, was due
largely to the fact that in the past
ten weeks more than l,0O0,O00,000
bales of spot cotton have literally
been thrown overheard without rime
or reason. If we make up our, minds
that conditions are not as bad as
they seem and everyone can catch the
spirit of optimism, il. short time
things will readiust themselves. Let's
think about increasing our food crops
this fall, thus accomplishing two pur-
poses, furnishing food for all our
people and reducing our cotton acre
age.

operating in Plan.

New Orleans, Oct, 24.-Gov. John
M. Parker will tomorrow issue a
proclamation calling upon all cotton
gin owners in the state of Louisiana
to close their gins for period of 80
days beginning November 1 in an
effort to give new life to the cotton
market. Promoters of the movement
to close the gins are daily receiving
promises of cooperation from all sec
tions of the South and already several
hundred gin owners have declared
themselves in readiness to close their
gins as long as may be necessary.
In addition to issuing his proclama-
tion, asking the gins to close, Gov
ernor Parker will, at the same time
address communications to the gov.
ernors Of all the cotton producing
states asking them to issue a similar
proclamation.
The appeal of w. B. Thompson
president of the Louisiana division
of the American Cotton association
to the cotton men Of the South, to-
gethcr with the action of Governor
Parker, is expected to bring ginning
operations to virtual standstili not
later than November l.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1920-10-27

Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas
are already fairly we'll organized for
the closing campaign and telegrams
from leading cotton men from other
states indicate that they will not be
far behind in closing down.
In addition TO The movement
looking to the closing of the gins,
preparations are already under way
in many sections to secure large
reduction in cotton acreage next year.
The Texas association has notified
the Louisiana division that under a
sworn pledge the crop in that state
will be reduced one-third. From
Alabama came the declaration that
among the farms to be turned to
other uses or allowed to lie idle next
year, is one 100000 acre plantation.

MUST BE NO ROOM
FOR pEssIMIsM

Clemson College, Oct 25.-"With
cotton selling around the 20-cen level
at least 60 percent of the crop must
60 to pay for the fertilizers used and
the expense of picking and ginning"
says Director w. w. Long of the Ex-
tension Service of Clemson College,
"and l am more convinced than ever
of the correctness of the position of
the extension Service in advocating a
well balanced system of diversified ag-
riculture. Recently, in urging increas-
ed acreage in cover crops to enrich
our soils, l pointed out that our fer
tilizer bills would total $50,000,000
and that it would take over 250,000
bales at 40 cents, or 100000 bales at
80 cents, to pay this fertilizer bill.
With cotton at 20 cents it will take
100000 bales, or 40 percent Of the
crop, to pay the fertilizer bill alone.
Add to this 10000 bales to pay for
PICKING. and 10000 bales to pay for
ginning, and we have total of 740,-
600 bales, or 60 percent of the esti-
mated yield.
"These figures speak more con
vincingly than any one can say of the
soundness Of the doctrine Of diversi-
fication. Only the farmer who has
followed diversified farming this year
is on the safe side.
"But we must not be pessimistic.
There is no room for gloom or despon-
dency. Notwithstanding the great
losses in the slump in cotton prices,
we have much to be thankful for, be-
cause our food and feed crops are
abundant and valuable.

little attention to any other of she

body else said, he solemnly hurled
back at him that never-ending re-

You would have thought, If you

had disputed his statement. But
such was not the case at all. Since
no one except the Katydids knew
anything about the mysterious
Katy, nobody was able to say
that she didn't do it. In
fact, the whole affair was a great
secret, so far as outsiders were
concerned. And one night John
