REPORTS ON COTTON
CROP IN ALL STATES
REDUCTION OF ACREAGE AND
DIFFICULTY OF FINANCING.
WEEVILS IN EVIDENCE.

Reduction of acreage and difficulty
of farmers in some sections in financ-
ing this years cotton crop are describ-
ed in reports to the federal bureau of
crop estimates just made public
Arkansas reported AN effort" be-
ing made to reduce acreage and said
some of the winter picked cotton is
being bought as low as 3 cents a
pound. Dry weather was said to have
checked planting in Florida A cut in
acreage from rs to so per cent was
said to be planned in some localities
in Georgia. Much of the crop of last
year still remains in the hands of the
growers, and boil weevil were reported
on the ground in many localities.
Louisiana planting was declared to
have been interfered with by heavy
rains while Missouri reported reduc-
ton in acreage.
Recent reduction in prices of fertiliz-
ers may lessen" the prospective de-
crease in acreage, said report from
North Carolina, while Arizona said
acreage reduction was fully one-half,
with the bluk of last years crop still
in the hands of the farmers, who were
said to be finding it difficult to finance
this years operations.
A reduction of one-half acreage was
indicated in California and New Mex
leo sent similar information.

BEAN GROWERS, LIKE
COTTON MEN, PUNCHED
NO CLASS HAS SUFFERED
MORE ACUTELY THAN THEY
FROM LOW PRICES.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-No farm
er during the present era of declin-
ing prices is suffering more acutely
than the California bean grower. His
brief period of spectacular profits has
been followed by an equally sharp re-
action.
w. W. Douglas, vice president OF
the Bank of Italy, in reviewing the
situation says that it is by no means
hopeless. The present trouble traces
back to war prices and war demands.
Urgent appeals for food production at
that time along with the prospect for
high prices induced farmers to plant
beans on every available acre in the
state. Not only was this accomplished
at an abnormally high labor cost but
it made for overproduction.
To make the situation worse, Mr.
Douglas said, the market was invaded
by cheaply produced beans from Ko-
rea, Manchuria and the island of Mad
agascar. Limas from the last named
place competed with the southern Cal
ifornia limas and were sold in Amer
lean markets at prices lower than the
cost of producing in California. AS a
result the beans accumulated in the
warehouses and the prices declined to
less than one-haH. The bean grower
is consequently a heavy loser finan-
cially. Many tenant or renter farmers
are on the verge of bankruptcy.

HEAVY MEAT EATERS
HAVE SLOW KIDNEYS
Eat Less meat if you feel BackaOhy or
have bladder trouble-Take
glass of Salt&

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larly can make mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
q sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take q
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast and in few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the Kidneys. also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and csunot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

CAN MEET PRESENT
PRICE SITUATION
MITCHELL COUNTY, GEORGIA,
FARM USED IN ESTIMATE.
GOVERNMENT SURVEY.

Cotton growers can meet the pres
ent price situation by carefully con-
sidering" operating expenses and re-
ducing them whenever there is like
lihood of obtaining a low yield per
acre, the federal department OF agrf-
culture says in a report on the results
OF survey on basic requirements and
cost of producing cotton
By applying last years man and
mules rates for labor and prices then
paid II seed and fertilizer to the basic
requ. ements in an investigation in
Mitchell county, Georgia, the average
operating expense of cotton was fixed
at approximately 80 cents a pound
there.
Man and mule rates for labor in this
investigation and seed and fertilizer
costs, the department says, constituted
"a per cent of the total operating eX-
pense, exclusive of land rent. Other
expenses amounting to 10 per cent OF
the total Included such items as gin
ming, manure, equipment, taxes, insur-
ance and overhead Man labor was
charged at the rate of 80 cents an
hour, mule labor 20 cents an hour,
seed $81 ton and fertilizer at $40
ton. From the total cost of $56.lo
an acre seed credit of $500 was
deducted, making total net cost OF
$500.
Asserting that the rates for labor
and seed did not start to decline until
after the 1920 crop had been produc-
ed the reoort adds.
with cotton around II to IS cents
per pound the returns not only allow
ed no interest on capital, but failed to
pay operating expenses. at going rates
for labor and prevailing prices for
agriculture. With cotton at IS cents
per pound it would require yield OF
approximately $50 pounds of lint to
cover operating expenses"
"The application of the basic re-
quirements Of production in estimating
costs should be of vital interest to
growers at this time" the report adds.
"The history of the year 1920 will not
be forgotten Immediately and it will
be safe to say that the lessons OF this
period will bear some fruit"

Island Pond Basketball Team
a Little ito Swift" for
Newport Co. L.

Last Thursday night our
basketball boys motored to
Newport to buck against Co. l.
of that city. Although not
hav ng had practice for two
weeks, they were there with
their former swiftness, the
game ending a victory for Is-
lard Pond, 1926.
Despite the heavy rain .nat
night they were followed by a.
bout seventy.fve basketball
fans from their town, which
did not in the least defect their
playing. The game was play
ed in the new armory, with the
Island Pond bunch assembled
on one side, who spared not to
exercise their lungs to good et-
feet.
At the beginning of the sec
as though it would be an easy
mark for Island Pond, making
excellent passes, until Rooney
shot the first basket, followed
by four other consecutive ones,
then Bigelow scored for New
port The opponents were
somewhat nervous at this point
and kept Island Pond stirring,
tieing the score IL to II at the
end Of the first period.
At he beginning Of the sec
ond half the score remained
even until Savage Of Newport
scored then Giroux made a
basket, tieing once more, IA to
IA. At this point OF the game
the Island Pond rooters were
a little shaky but were quickly
relieved, our boys getting an
unsurpassed alertness of pass
ing, leaving Newport in the op-
en-, making seven baskets 10
their two.
1t must be admitted that
Newport played a fast clean
game. Savage who played
center and Bigelow were stars
at all moves. Rooney played
the game with his usual swift
ness surprising his opponents
{ realty in his passing and bas-
Ket shooting. Giroux as >en-
ter played an excellent game,
keeping his mate in a guessing
contest at all times. Cushion
and Marsh played one of their
best games as did Reynolds
and Goodman.
1t was remarked by several
Newporters after the game
that "it was the swiftest team
ever in Newport"

Put Back the Short Ones

There goes the biggest fool

er who had been watching the
operations of a Caledonian
County fisherman. T'vei been

wiser than his critic.

Department to realize that
they are framed to help the

returning the short trout to
the water he was doing his part
to insure good fishing for him
self and his neighbors for the
next year.

season they will visit the head.
