one of our most able speakers on
the subject of cooperative cotton

All agricultural producers are

is to procure q negro, a mule,
few implements and plenty .ol
fertilizer. Cotton is a sort Of
fool.proof crop, handled in this
way.
This county has increased its
cotton production from about
5000 bales, ten years. ago, to
nearly 24,0O0 in 1920. YES, it is
easy to PRODUCE cotton; but
it is quite a different problem to
produce it at a PROFIT, and we
doubt if much profit has ever
been made, producing it as we
do here. Let those who have
been cotton tots' for the past
twenty years publish their in
come and expenses on this crop,
and we shall find that if any
profit was made, it was made
largely on a side line or on side
lines. We mean purely cotton
farmers who plant cotton ex-
clusiyely. We have never seen
"a man who continued such a
system for twenty years that
made any clear money in the end
unless some side-line or lines
were associated with his system.
Yes, almost any fool can PRO.
DUCE oottGr, but to produce j.
PROFlTABI.I IS the problem.
Cotton as a single crop, has inn
poverished the South. Cotton as
a surplus would have enriched
the South, even with our expen-
sive system of fertilization. This
being true, how much more pros
porous will we be when we fill
our soil with legumes and thus
cut out our nitrogen bill {about
half the cost Look to a humus

both drought and excessive rain

may expect a KNOCKOUT

there continue his favorite crop
on uninfested land He will con-
tinue on the run until soon the
Atlantic coast will act as a labor
dam for the black food. and he
will return down at the heel and
out at the seat ready to work
for any price. Landlords can no
longer risk cotton to even pay
rents, not to speak of the heavy
supply bills of yore, and instead
of insisting on an all-cotton crop,
they will forge the tenant to live |
at home by diversifying, and our
system of soil robbery with a |
one-crop system will cease to the
betterment OF all classes.
The boil weevil will ruin hisI
thousands. Our present system
Of farming without the weevil
would eventually ruin TENS OF
THOUSANDS.
The man who enriches his
soil within the next three years,
builds a pasture and gradually
changes to a self.supporting sys-
tenn of safe farming, will meet
the weevil with little embarrass-
ment. The man who waits to be-
driven out, will very likely re-
main out. The only reason that
Texas continues to produce al
large cotton crop under weevil
infestation is that she has moved
her cotton fields largely to that
section which is sefni-arid, and
she has increased her acreage
also. The Black Lands Z which

"Manslaughter in the fourth degrse"
was the verdict returned late Satur-
day afternoon by the jury in the case
of Herman Morrone, charged with the
murder on July 10 of his brother
James, after a deliberation of nearly
twenty-four hours. The case went to
the jury at FIVE o'clock Friday after
noon, and the verdict was brought in
to Judge Belden at four-twenty Sat
day afternoon.
Sentence was not pronounced fol-
lowing the return of the verlict. The
penalty for fourth degree manslaught-
er may be Imprisonment in the states
prison for not less than one year or
more than two, or by Imprisonment in
the county Jail for not more than one
year, or by a fine. not exceeding $1,000,
or by both fine and imprisonment.
Deaf Man Prefers Prison Sentence.
Herman Morrone when informed by
Attorney John F.. Kuehnl Of the YER
dict of the jury, manifested his re-
lief at the lowest manslaughter verdict
and promptly asked what the penalty
was. When Attorney Kuehnl told him
that the sentence could not exceed two
years Imprisonment or fine of $1,000,
Morrone said that he wished he would
be given year in prison rather than
be charged with the payment of the
fine. This remark cited the curiosity
of the defendants counsel, who ask
ed for what reason he preferred
imprisonment. 4 ! d.
"Well," said Morrone, eff I go to
prison, maybe the doctor there can do
something for my hearing. If I stay
in prison a year. my deafness may
be cured"
Verdict Causes Some Stir.
Following the return of the verdict,
there was a good deal Of comment on
the case, which up to that point had
seemed, to the general public more or
less cut and dried. The jury was con-
sidered one of the best in personnel
ever impaneled on murder case,
representing as it did many walks of
life, and high level of intelligence.
Two members of the county board
we're on the jury as well as a form err
alderman and a former member of the
school board.
Curiosity as to how this represen-
tative jury happened to remain out so
long in debate, what points were dis
agreed upon up to the final agreement,
and just what was the basis for the
return of a verdict Of the lowest de-
gree of manslaughter, laid the basis
for many conjectures.
