Farmer Writes About
 The Crop Situation

From conservation with our best informed farmers and merchants and from information acquired from going over considerable portion of Little River county, we are of the opinion that the best we can hope for is an average of one bale of cotton to ev- cry four acres. and the general esti- age over one bale to five acres The acreage is one-third off With the price promising to range from 10to 15 cents, this means that thepeopppp D cents this means that the people of our county will reap but little from their chief money crop The acreage in cotton has been cut from about 1O,000,OO0 acres throughout the South. and the yield is shown by government and private estimate to be very small The only ray of hope lies in the shortage in acreage and pro- duction, for with a large crop this year the cotton would have been worthless. As it is, the people, be- cause of their great economy this year, will probably pay this years expenses and may be able to pay something on last years debts.
 Cur county has made the largest corn, and pea crop in it's history. This is the general estimate. If the farmers will exercise thrift and energy and save these peas and the corn and hay crops, this county should be able to make next years crop without buy ing any of these products-something that has not occurred in recent years.
 For this county there is an unu- sually large crop of sweet potatoes and sorghum. It is now apparent that our potato curing plants are made quate for this years crop and be- cause of this fact( it will require a greater degree of skill and thrift to save our potato crop and not let any of it go to waste.
 Another great and valuable food crop is still within the grasp of every family in Little River County. Tur- nips and turnip greens are the cas- fest crops that can be grown here and now is the time to SOW the seed. A half days work and twenty five cents for the seed now will furnish every family with all the turnips and greens necessary for family use throughout the fall and winter. This little labor and this little sum of money will be worth twenty-five to fifty dollars to any family. If we do not raise this crop, it is our fault
 The thing that every farmer needs to do during the next two weeks is save his hay for his stock and peas for table use and for planting pur- poses next year Don't let these crops already made go to waste when a little work in time will make the ef- forts of this spring worth while. Also SOW a large patch of turnip seed. Then from this time until September 15, make up his molasses. And then in the early fall, save his corn and potatoes. With all these crops properly and timely harvested the cotton crop will take care of the debts this year and perhaps some of last years debts and

of 125 marks a month is paid to every married worker, together with apother l25 marks for each child.
 Mr. Pingree found that women in the German shops receive little more than a cent an hour. Female members of the packing departments, one of the low est grades of factory employment re- Ceive about 3.15 marks an hour, while forewonen average only 3.45 marks.
 General business conditions in the re- public show employment on the increase, Mir. Pingree reports. Large orders have been placed for practically every con- modity, not to satisfy any actual de- mand but to provide stocks at relatively low prices. Since the mark went on it's last big slump there has been a great domestic buying movement in Germany which has left the shops without any goods Months will be required to re- pler1ish the stocks. There are indica- tions, however, which point to a decline in Germany's industrial activity.

into obligations maturing not later than June Is, Io47, and bearing inter est at a rate of not less than five per cent, would be authorized under the Funding bill as finally approved by the Senate Finance Committee
 Chairman Penrose announced that these and other provisions written in to the House bill had been agreed to by Secretary Mellon, who attended the committee session, and the Demo- cratic members of the committee.
 Interest on the new obligations would be paid seni-annually and the minimum rate which would be per mitted under the bill--hve per cent Is the rate on the existing obligations, most of which are in the form of the notes of the foreign powers.
 Under another amendment ap~ proved by the committee four of the five members of the commission which is to conduct the funding nego- tiations would have to be confirmed by the Senate. The provision making the secretary of the treasury chair man of the commission was retained.
 All of the changes in the House measure, 1t was explained, were in line with those proposed by Senator Simmons of North Carolina, ranking Democrat on the Finance Committee. The House bill left to the commission the question of the maturity dates of the obligations and the amount of in terest to be paid and proposed Sem ate confirmation of only such mem bers of the commission as were, not cabinet officers.

Figures Given Out By w estern Electric Company Officer Just Re tur med From There, so Must Be True.

The day when the Chinese worker ranked as the worlds poorest paid en- ploye has passed. At the present mo- ment Germany is operating under a salary schedule that seems. when meas ured in currency of the United States, almost Liliputian. c. E. Pingree, Vice President and general manager of the International Western Electric Company, who has just returned from a trip of industrial investigation in Europe, brings accurate figures of unusual interest. They give a vivid illustration of one of the main reasons why Germany is able to keep its manufacturing centers busy while industrial plants in other countries are either completely shut down or run ming on part time.
 They also give a vivid reason why American manufacturers and moneyed interests are grabbing off all available ashcps over there.
 During November male employees in Bthe commercial departments of many operated under wage scale that called for a monthly stipend of 1923 marks for inferior work, 1,512 marks for plain office routine. 1876 marks for positions that entitled a certain degree of respor- sibility and 2,119 marks for minor ex- ecutives; all this during a period when the mark was valued at less than half cent in the American money market, In other words, members of the best paid group among the four just men, toned receive what would amount to less than $10 for their months services if measured in dollars and cents at the present rate of exchange.
 Technical men in Germany are just as badly off as their brethern of the of fees Craftsmen handling important projects got 1,647 marks apiece in No vember, engineers in responsible posi- tions draw 2,254 marks, and factory en- gineers did a little better, with 2380 marks. All these figures represent a decided increase over the scale of wages prevalent i'll October and are 30 per cent higher than those paid in July.
 The employees of the hourly rated and piecewprk classes are in even worse straights than those paid by the month First-class experts in the former cate gory are getting about sos marks an hour at the present moment Trained workmen who fail to make the expert standards receive 610 marks, and un- trained laborers, 5.75; an additional sum
