RAISING TRUCK CROPS.
 (By H. M. Cottrell).

Farmers, planters and groups of farmers in every one of the 69 cot ton growing counties of Arkansas are planning to raise Irish poatoes, canta- loupes, watermelons, truck, sweet po- tatoes or berries. These men are cot ton growers, some with large planta- tions and others with small farms, who cannot sell their cotton for half what 1t cost to raise it and are deter mined to raise some other crop to sell. We urge them to go slow.
 / Consider the danger from over-pro- duction. Cotton growers from every cotton growing state, from the vest ern part of Texas to Virginia, are planning to raise these crops, and hundreds of organizations are being formed to market them. There are likely to be half million cotton growers in the United States who will raise truck or melons or Irish potatoes for market this year for the first time. The cities of the United States are general we'll supplied each year with such foods What price will they pay for the enormous addition to this sup ply that is likely to be made? Go slow.
 Wages in the cities and towns will probablv he lower in 1921 than in 1920. Merchants, manufacturers and other business men are likly to make less money. This makes certain that the buying ability of families in the towns and cities will be less in 1921 than in 1920. They will either have to buy less perishable food products or pay lower prices for what they buy, pos sibly both. Go slow.
 Corn, cotton, oats and hay are not perishable; they can be stored for weeks or months and can always be sold at some price. A car of tomatoes is a bad loss if there is a glut in the market the day it is received. A car of watermelons or cantaloupes that arrives in Kansas City, St. Louis, Chi. cago or any other large receiving mar ket on day when there are 50 to 300 cars more than that market wants, no. only will not sell, but the growers often have to send money to pay for the freight It hardly pays to raise fields of radishes or cucumbers or tomatoes to blow under to enrich the so,l. although this frequently has to be done when too much have been raised. A surplus of cotton is bad, but tomatoes or melons or other per- ishablo crops that cannot be sold are worse. Go slow.
 There are some communities In Ar- kansas that have made money from truck crops and melons. There are other communities that may make money by raising these crops for the first time in 1881. but they are few. No man or group of men should raise these crops this year for the first time without consulting disinterested ex- perts; being sure of their market be- fore even the seed is bought or the land prepared. and can afford to lose the crop if 1t is unmarketable be- caus of an enormous over production. Go slow.
 The safest plan for most cotton. growers is to raise all the food and feed they need, planting enough to have plenty if the yield should be low; raise in small way for sale, corn, hay, oats or some other crop that can I.e stored and plant moderate acre age of cotton.

Hugh bowed gravely. my only re-
pet is that 1t failed to function" he
remarked. "As told you outside, I'd
quite forgotten your menagerie. In
sact,--his glance wandered slowly and
somewhat polntedly from face to face
1t the tablet had no idea 1t was
such 6large one"
$50 this is the insoient young swine,
10 itr The bloodshot eyes of the man
with the SCARED face turned on him
morosely. "What cannot understand
10 why he hasn't been killed by now"
Hugh waggled an accusing finger at
him.
Il knew you were a nasty man as
soon as ! saw you. Now look at Hen
~ up at the end of the table; he
doesn't say that sort of thing. And
you do hate me, don't you, Henry?
How's the jaw?"
Captain Drummond," said Laking-
ton, ignoring Hugh and addressing the
first speaker, "was very nearly killed
last night. I thought for some time
as to whether would or not, but l
finally decided II would be much too
easy death. So 1t can be remedied
tonight"
II Hugh felt q momentary twinge Of
fear at the calm, expressionless tone,
and the half-satisfed grunt which
greeted the words. no trace Of 1t
showed on his face. Already the
realization had come to him that II
he got through the night alive he would
be more than passing lucky, but he
was too much of a fatalist to let that
worry him unduly. SO he merely stifled
4 yawn. and again turned to Lexington.

fairy face I saw pressed against the
window. Would 1t be indiscreet to ask
how you got the dope into us?"
darlington looked at him with an ex-
preston Of grim satisfaction on his
face.
"You were gassed. II you want to
know. An admirable invention Of my
friend Kauffner's nation"
A cultural chuckle came from one
of the men. and Hugh looked at him
grimly.

resumed his search for cigarette.

voice-'.the big thing Is mine."
The sound of the door opening made
both men swing round Instantly; then
Peterson stepped forward with q
smile as lrma entered.

In few words he told the girl
what had happened, and she clapped
her hands together delightedly.

down and lit a cigarette. II saw Wal

Peterson frowned.
"1t's most inconvenient," he re-
marked with shade of annoyance In
his voice. "Did he say why?"

"Of course ] can" said Peterson
irritably; "but that doesn't alter the

down the room, frowning thoughtfully.

Not muscle on the soldiers face

dience that he realized his danger.
Lakington's face was merciless, with
its fiendlsh look of anticipation, and
Hugh stared at him with level eyes
for while before he turned toward
the door.
"Then I win say Good night" he
remarked casually. as 1t the same

"No," said Peterson. "A different

The darkness could be felt, as real
darkness inside a house always can
be felt. Not the faintest glimmer
even Of greyness showed anywhere,
and Hugh remained motionless, won
dering what the next move was going
to be. Now that the nights ordeal
had commenced, all his nerve had re-
turned to him. He felt ice-cold; and
as his powerful hands clenched and
unclenched by his sides, he grinned
family to himself. Then very eau
tiously he commenced to feel his way
toward the door. 8A
At that moment someone brushed
past him. Like flash Hugh's hand
shot out and gripped him by the arm.
The man wriggled and twisted, but
he was powerless as child, and with
another short laugh Hugh found his
throat with his other hand. And
again silence settled on the room .. :.
Still holding the unknown man In
front Of him, he reached the foot Of
the stairs, and there he paused. He
had suddenly remembered the mys-
terious thing which had whizzed past
his head that other night, and then
changed suddenly into the wall beside
him. He had gone up FIVE stairs when
1t had happened, and now with his
foot on the first, he started to do
some rapid thinking. 81
II, as Peterson had kindly assured
him, they proposed to try and send
him mad, II was unlikely that they
would kill him on the stairs. At the
same time It was obviously an imple-
ment. capable Of accurate adjustment,
and therefore II was more than likely
that they would use 1t to brighten
him. And II they did--if they did I.

and tying the laces together, he slung
