encouraging States, counties and

Still others are inclined to feel that
some OF the tax exempt bonds them

These figures to 1919 inclusive are
official and the municipal indebted
ness covers from 204 TO 227 cities,
and refers to the net debt obtained
by deductlng sinking funds only
from the permanent total debt. The
1921 figures are estimates as OF Sep
tcmber 80. except that the u. S. debt
Is The actual interest bearing debt as
OF October 81. Besides the hgures IN
this table one must include an ag-
gregate county debt, which may be
roughly estimated at s620,340. 900.
Statements OF the Indebtedness OF
counties are seldom compiled. but
in 1909 the actual was t196.546,619
while at the same date the net mu-
nicipal indebtedness was $3.50. oo4,-
s32.
At the present time. then. the ag
gregate net public Indebtedness OF
the United States Is approximately
s27 .352 ,01s,552. whereas the aggre-
gate amount OF securities outstand-
ing, public and private and includ-
ing bonds, notes and stocks at their
actual values, is something like s79.-

From the FIRST OF the above ex-
hibits Il may be seen also that
amongst the new security, issues the
non-taxables represent much
higher proportion than formerly
During 1921 OF all the bonds and
notes fioated in the United States
about 26.3 per cent. have been non
taxable. as compared with 1914 per
cent. in 1912. Roughly speaking

It does not appear. however, that
there is any substantial risk Is mu-

account OF the possibility that these
may lose any or all OF their exemp-
ton. As a whole they are probably

tion. OF course. on an income basis
they are something like 25 or 80
points higher than corporation

Is due to the greater safety OF prin-

Nor does the growth OF public in

pear to be especially alarming. Mu-
nicipal debts have increased only
about rs per cent. since 1915, where
as the debts OF manufacturing and
industrial companies have increased
about 35 per cent. There has been
a rapid increase in county indebted

less productive. OF the state ex-

finance, exclusive OF the financing OF

about as much conservatism as have
corporation finances; and we see no

counties and municipalities have
done abnormal borrowing which
could be ascribed wholly TO the case
with which public loans can be

Barley For Money Crop.

Our farm agents and agricultural
papers have been talking barley to
us for years and the past year or 80
some OF us in this section began to
take notice. This year quite sever
al farmers are raising small patches
Of 1t for their hogs. and one man,
we are reliably informed, thrashed
out 800 bushels from some IS acres
and Immediately sold It In Durant at
one-dollar per bushell. Every in
stance that has come to our at
tention this year. in southeastern
Oklahoma Is that the barley has
threshed out as much or more than
our best oats and hes brought five
times as much. Barley Is easily
planted, withstands more moisture
and drough and pests than lots Of
other things and brings more money.
Our soil and climate seems admira-
bly, suited to it--and there is a good
market for all that is likely to be
grown.

Ghort Crop: Better Prices

The steady advance which has
been noted in the cotton market dur
ing the past ten days has been large
iy due to a decided change in senti-
ment which occurred when the Gov
ernment recently issued crop re-
port which estimated the average
planted in cotton this year to be 26.-
$40 900 acres. This acreage estimate
IN conjunction with the June condi-
tion report Of 69.2 per cent would
indicate an approximate Weld of
1925 mounds OF lint cotton to the
acre. which would amount to a total
crop Of a,433 900 bales.
Advices have also been received
which stated that there is also sub
stantial reduction in the cotton
acreage planted in india, Egypt and
Prazil. and that the crops Of those
countries will he materially smaller
than last wear. --Spring and Co
