SHOULD Be LOWEST !.
GRADE RAISED
David r. Coker Urges Plant
ing Only of Crop That Can
Be Picked Early.

There are two main causes for the
present cotton situation. First, world
poverty and trade disorganizatlon
caused by the war. Second. over
production of low grades.
The first is not the fault of the cot
ton raiser and will disappear as the
world returns to normal conditions.
The second is the cotton raiser's
fault. It can and should be cured at
once.
A large proportion of the cotton
planters have for years been planting
a far greater acreage Of cotton than
could be gathered promptly.
The consequence was heavy over
production of low grades which have
piled up until they have crushed the
life out of the cotton industry.
Low grades never pay. The mar
gin of profit in the production Of high
grade cotton (when there is a mar
gin) is less than the difference in
price between high grades and low
grades. High grades average double
the price of low grades right now.
Every farmer should raise all food
stuffs that can be consumed by man
and beast on his farm and then plant
enough more to supply the towns.
Only as much cotton should be
planted as the labor on each planta-
ton can keep right up with in pick
ing. We can finally work out of the
terrible position that the "dog in the
manger" policy Of over production of
low grades has placed US, if this pol
icy is generally pursued.
Live at Home s'Why Raise Low
Grades" mot a Bale Below Strict
Middling.' These slogans should be
adopted by all cotton farmers.
They will take US "out of the
woods" more quickly than many
imagine.

RAIL LEGISLATION TO RE TAKEN UP ON
 PRESIDENTS RETURN

Washington, August Upon Pres ident Harding's return from his va cation. Senate republican leaders are to take up the question of rail- road legislation with the executive. Whether the administration bill for funding about s50O,oOO00O of carriers debts by the War Finance corpora tion shall be pressed immediately or deferred until after the proposed Senate vacation recess is to be de- termined
 Some doubt regarding the Presi- dents wishes is held. At the recent White House dinner to republican senators. the President was said to have agreed to delaying the railroad bill over the recess period planned. When the President talked later with House republican leaders, he was quoted as desiring prompt enactment of the funding bill
 The President, senators said to- night, would be informed this week that it would be impossible for the Senate to secure any vacation if the railroad measure should be pressed. Weeks of debate it was said, are certain. If the President should con sent to House action first on the bill the Senate leaders hope to pass the ahti-beer and CapperTineher grain gambling bills this week and adjourn for month or six weeks.
 Action on the railroad bill is to be discussed also next Tuesday by the Senate interstate commerce commit tee with Chairman Cummins, who has been ill. returning to take charge.

 Out of Operation

Carrollton, August 7.-(SpeciaL)- For reasons unknown the manager of the Aliceville- Carrollton Telephone company has recently discontinued service from Aliceville to Columbus, Miss, leaving the citizens along she route without the conveniences of- forded by such line. The chamber of commerce of Columbus took the mat ter up with, the manager, but nothing has developed.
 With these existing conditions .he manager of the Cumberland Tele- phone company at Columbus has made a proposition to the peo )le along the route to build a line on the co operative plan. they furnishing the wire, posts and other equipment for the construction of the line and the company making connections with their switch board at a cost of 25 cents per month.
 This proposition is being discussed and it is expected that within the next few days meeting will be called and the matter thoroughly thrashed out and plans formed for the building of the line which will afford the citizens of the western section of this county telephone service at very reasonable cost.
