ACTIVE CAMP AIGN LAUNCHED TO REDUCE
THE COTTON ACREAGE FOR THE YEAR 1921

possible to sell cotton. cotton is nc
longer cash commodity"
Urging diversification as a means Of
meeting the present crisis confronting
the farmer the committee says:
'The cotton farmer, at the best, re-
ceives returns for his labor but once
year. He turns his capital only once
a year, whereas under a diversified
system of farming. returns are received
many times year.
ANY one crop system is uneconomic,
because under it no plan of farm man
agement can be devised which will give
a maximum yearly use of tools, equip
ment and labor. The one crop farmer,
particularly the cotton farmer, finds it
difficult If not impossible to keep him
self profitably employed the year round.
"If you grow cotton without growing
food for man and feed for beast, we
shall all be worse off than bankrupt,
maybe starving this winter when the
wind whistles through our meatless
smoke houses and cornless corn cribs.
Diversified farming will raise the
standard of living in the south.
Diversified farming will make heal
thier and happier women and children,
more and better schools and churches
manlier and more contented men. In
short, a more ambitious, better educated
thinking and more intelligent citizen
ship.
Farmers who have depended entirely
upon cotton and cotton alone, are vir-
tually bankrupt today, whereas farm
ers who have diversified more or less.
have food for themselves and families
and feed for their stock and money in
bank.
The south stands at the parting Of
the ways. 1t is up to you.
Every farmer ought to own a cow

Prominent cotton growers throughout
this section are being urged by the Cot
ton Acreage Committee of Memphis
Tennessee, to reduce the cotton acreage
this season, and the matter is being
seriously considered by every grower
talked TO on the subject.
The committee which is making an
active campaign throughout the cot
ton growing states are using some pow
erful arguments in order TO induce the
farmer to cut out cotton as much as
possible and grow feed crops instead,
The prospective carry over of cotton
at July 81, 1921, is now not far from
ll,0O00 900 bales, fully 100000 bales
more than was threatened before the
Christmas holidays when the commit
tee predicted that the carry-over would
be not less than $4,000 900 bales.
Advancing their argument for a de-
creased acreage in 1921 the committee
says:
"A desperate effort has been made
during the past three weeks TO advance
the price OF cotton.
cotton, to advance the price about plant
ing time, the trick has been used so
often that it now deceives no one.
when those who want chesp cotton
and who ordinarily control the price,
cannot advance the price for a purpose
it is not likely that the farmer will re
able to advance it.
UCnttnp nnraa pa ,1o,ict ha rn1uoal and
the reduction must be adequate, any
thing less than 80 per cent compared
with last years crop will not be ade.
quate TO accomplish the purpose of the
committee.
There is enough cotton in the world
unspun TO last nearly two years, the
world will carry over thisN year more
American cotton than was spun during
the past twelve months"
The committee further states that
"the buying power of the world is far
below normal, but the supply of cotton
is now vastly in excess of every normal
requirement, that it will cost more tc
produce a new crop than 1t can be sold
for at present prices, and there is nc
present prospect that prices will ad-
vance.
Cotton can be now bought cheaper
than it can be produced, it is better
therefore to buy cotton, or to hold what
is on hanl now than to grow more
every bale purchased tends to advance
price, while every bale planted tends
TO make the price go lower. unless cot
ton can be produced profitably it i,
folly to attempt to produce it at all.
"Unless cotton can be sold, it will
not pay debts or taxes, neither can il
be eaten, it is impossible to recover
losses by mourning more losses. that
is the road to bankruptcy, for the first
time in history it is difficult if not i'm

WESTERN SENATORS ORGANIZE
Tonopah Times

Tonopah Times
 ,,r, At one time traditions of the Senate declared that men from E. the west should be silenced whenever they at tempted to impress their individuality on the politics of the nation. Fortu- nately this time has passed and the men with initiative, free from tradit- ional restraints and imbued with the lofty sense of returning to their con- stituents some service for the honor conferred by election. These men may be called insurgents and insur- rectionists and reform socialists or worse but they established an out standing personality for standing up for the rights of their people. These men represent the best resources of the republic, including live stock, sheep, wool, lumber, mines, fuel and oil, and there is no reason in their estimation why they should take a back seat when important questions of policy are debated. The fact that they have an uphill struggle against organized leaders of eastern finance, trade regulations and manufacturing monopoly furnishes substantial reason for getting together and lining up solid phalanx when it comes to voting. This, is the attitude assumed by the western group in the present tariff fight wherein it was shown that the eastern interests were combined in an unholy alliance to secure all they could for the finished product while permitting purchase of raw ma terial in the cheapest market. The shoe man have been among the most aggressive in leaving a vent for the admission of foreign hides free of duty and adding tariff on boots and shoes to exclude foreign competition. "Fair Treatment for the West" is the slogan of the new "bloc" of states men with an Idaho man for leader. The coalition may grow to one of the important powers in Washington be- cause it is suggested that the working strength would be vastly increased by adding to the membership roll men from both parties who are willing to sink their partisanship in working for the common veal. As the organiza- tion stands now it embodies the best constructive talent from the agricult- ural and livestock regions but that is a mere matter of form for the prin- ciples are of such an appealing form

TRY PROSPECTING
Reno Gazette

Another case of treasure trove is reported from the South Seas and doubtless there will be mysterious schooners by the dozen or the score bound thither in a few days. But the people who squander thousands of dol lars on wild-goose chases never stop to think that the same amount of money invested in prospecting by trained men would be far more likely to produce a fortune right in the United States than all the money in the world would win in seeking for gold buried by pirates or buccaneers.
 Systematic prospecting right here in Nevada is almost certain to return a fine profit on small investment. The whole state is mineralized. No one who knows anything about Ne vada imagines that Treasure Hill, Candaleria, Tonopah, Goldfield, Ro- chester or half dozen other famous districts of other days or the present time, cannot be duplicated. There may never again be found a Com stock lode, but there is plenty of chance to find real mine that will produce millions. And the money

 The records show that Gee, after serving the army, was a cook in the navy for twenty years. He came to Alaska several years ago. In speak ing of the Custer massacre, at which time he was the generals cook, he de- clared he had escaped death because he had been detailed by the general to look after the baggage of the com mand.

finally closed for the year. Every de-
partment Of the university except two
shows an increase in numbers over last

The college now has 2,s7s men en-
rolled. the largest dsurs on record. the
Increase being largely due to the un-
precedented sizs Of the freshman class.
which now consists Of S81 men. Of
whom 773 we're admitted by examine

colleges. The largest freshman class
previously recorded contained 7S9 mon.
So crowded is the college that officials
are having all they can DO to find lecture
rooms to hold all the classes. while
scores OF mon have been unable to secure

The only two departments which fail

Is expected to raise the standard of

the immediate effect of cutting down the
