LINDEN, Calit., FEB, a, 1921.
EDITOR News AND CITIzEN;--
! 1t occurred to us that perhaps you might
be interested to hear how much our OIL
neighbors from Vermont enjoy the News
AND CITIZEN. When it arrives all work
comes to halt until they have heard from
their old friends in the east.
| This is certainly too lovely a morning
for us to attempt to describe to you. As
we sit out here in the open, enjoying the
warm morning sun, hearing the robins
sing, watching the cattle, horses and sheep
enjoying the green grass, seeing the warm
blue SKY above and the green earth smiling
with blossoms and flowers below, our far cy
leads us not to greater things yet to see,
! but carries us back to our Home, Sweet
Home"-the Green Mountain State-in
the spring months, and we borrow these
words from Lowell to paint the picture:-
! "And what is SO rare as day in June
| Then, if ever, come perfect days;
| Then Heaven tries the earth if it be in
tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays:
Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We near life murmur, or see it glisten;
! EveIy clod feels stir Of might,
An instinct within it that reaches and
towers,
And cropping blindly above it for light,
Climbs to a soul in grass and. flowers "

Fresno is noted for its vineyards of rails

Sunday, Feb. Is. we went to Stockton
to church to hear Edward A. Guest, said
to be the most noted living poet. The
spacious church was filled to Overlooking.
AS the great artist recited his poems, first
the audience would be in tears and then
in bursts of laughter. He was heartily ap-
plauded and called back three times. At
the close we had the honor of shaking his
hand and telling him we hoped to hear
him in Our own home state-Vermont.

COTTON GROWER
SMILING AGAIN
Recent Advances Put Over
Half Billion Into South's
Pocketbook

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 8.-Disre-
parding, so far as the market is
concerned, the fact that spot cotton
in every southern market is now
commanding 20 cents a pound, or
something near it, southern plant
ers are sitting back, smiling and
waiting for the price to so higher.
The fact that the recent sensa-
tional advance in the price of this
staple, which is the backbone, ribs
and all the rest of the south's anat-
omy, has put more than a billion
dollars in the south's pocketbook, is
only being realized on in this fash
ion:
First-Banks of the south are
now offering to loan rs per cent of
the value of cotton now held by
planters, the first time such a gen.
erous offer has been made since the
days when cotton was commanding
around 40 cents a pound, which
was during the war.
Second-Shrewd business direct
ors of the south's rehabilitation
are taking advantage of the sud
den prosperity to preach to the far
mers the fact that it is decreased
production and cooperative mar
keting agreements which have sent
prices up. They are urging that it
be continued.
Third-Farmers are now realiz-
ing that they can raise something
besides cotton at profit, and will
continue to do so. The south, in a
broad sense, has ceased to be
one-crop country.
Rough figures show that about
$4,000 bales of cotton of the old
crop are held in the United States.
The new crop is estimated at about
7 ,OO0,O bales, with a tendency to
lower this estimate in some quar-
tiers.
These figures cannot be raised.
Any variation will be downward.
The boil weevil has seen to that,
His attacks on the product this year
have been terrific. He has, in fact,
been a friend to the farmer, for he
has boosted prices. Farmers will
tell you there never will be anoth-
er 14,000,000-bale crop. The Vice.
vii is too good at eating it up, for
one thing, and for another the
planter has found he csn make just
~ rpuch money by helping produce
A 7OOO,O0O-bale crop.
Merchants in this section already
ire beginning to feel the stimulus
n business. Expectation is that
he south will emerge from the
most serious depression within the
memory of the present generation
Without much delay. Despite the
present reluctance of farmers to
.ccept 90 cents a pound for their
otton, expectation is the move
nent to the markets soon will start.
This means, of course, that the far
ners can pay off his obligations to
he small merchant, the merchant
an clean up his debts at the small
,ank, the small bank can pay the
ity bank, the city bank can open
ew lines of credit to larger mer-
hants, larger merchants can make
roader sales preparations and the
heels of industry will begin to
pin.
Yesterday the limit in advances
ras posted in both spot and future
larkets at New Orleans, and prac-
cally the same thing happened
