by the war.
In this country and in Great Britain
especial attention since the war has been
given to facilities for manufacturing the
deadly gas known as dphenychloras sine

For the manufacture of diphenychora-
sine. the United States has an immense
plant at Edgewood, near Baltimore, where
there is now stored 1900 tons of this deadly
gas, 200 tons of mustard gas and quantities
of other gases
The plant is so equipped that with TWEEN
ty-four hours notice it can turn out a
minimum of 200 tons of various gases in n
day.
At Edgewood Arsenal there are stored in
addition to the finished product approx
mately 100000 pounds OF different sub
stances Of toxic or otherwise dangerous

TIME race of the nations to be
ready" still goes on. When
the war ceased, on November
II, 1918, the inventive genius of the
world was probably keyed to a
higher pitch than ever before in his
tory-With instruments of death and
destruction as its inspiration.
And in the two years and more
since the armistice there has been
little Iessening of the momentum.
THE NEW YORK HERALD re-
Gently instructed its correspondents
in Berlin, Paris, London and Wash
ington to learn as much as possible
concerning what had been left
over" after the war and what had
been developed in the way of en-
gines of war, looking to "the next
war" since the arn1istice.
What follows tells of the ceaseless
efforts to be "ready"-and it will
serve to stimulate the imagination
as to what another war would mean.

nations participation in the world
war, has continueu since the armistice with
no less zeal in the production of new and

but in the main American activities along
lines Of military progress are open to the
world. In fact, many of them are not sus-
ceptible of concealment, while in other in
stances, notably in the case of poison gases
1t is the Governments policy to make its
progress known.
War activities and the momentum from
them that Is still in force have put the
United States in much better position so
far as military equipment Is concerned than
ever before In its history.
Probably one of the most valuable heri-
tages of the war IS the realization of war
conditions which found lodgment in the
American mind, giving better appreciation
Of the value of national preparedness. This
realization cannot he transformed into a
list of guns and other war essentials, but

SEES DANGER AHEAD
 FOR COTTON FARMER
Too Much Cotton This Year Will Mean Low Prices for
 Next Two Years

"We are accommodating a sur plus of cotton in the world which means disaster unless We
 do something about it." warns Dean Bradford Knapp of the University of Arkansas, in quoting some figures on the cotton "carry over" which have just been made public by the U. s. Department of Agrieul- ture. MT. Knapp is using these figures as a strong warn ing in his campaign for Safe Farming" which he has carried on during the past two weeks.
 Farmers and business men everywhere in the cotton terri tory must arouse themselves to the seriousness of this situa- ton" says MT. Knapp. T maintain that farmers must fol- low the same rule which man. ufacturing industries follow and that is, they must curtail production when the supply is so great that the world cannot or will not purchase their pro- duct at satisfactory prices. It is for this reason that automo- bile factories, steel mills and ether industries have closed down. It is for this reason that the cotton farmers must reduce their output of cotton

GETTING RESULTS
 IN COUNTRY LIFE

People usually get out of a community just what they put into it. Those who find fault with the town or eom- munity because it is so dull, usually do the least toward helping to make things better or brighter.
 On the other hand, those who are full of enterprise, and who are willing to forget "self" to some extent in their efforts, usually find that they gain much that they had not expected.
 The person who gets into a rut and stays there until he mosses over, gets to where he actually believes everybody else IS as selfish as he IS, and that the whole world is unap- preciative.
 But such is not the case. There are some very clever and appreciative folks within our own square mile if we will only take the trouble to get acquainted with them.
The Newark journal., 1921-02-10

in 1921. Just consider the fol-
 lowing figures:
 Hast August the world
 carry over of cotton was only 5,846,000 bales. This was not
 a large carry over as figures
 for the past 10 years show.
 The world crop of 1920 was a
 large crop, totaling 19,778,0
 bales of which the United Stat
 es produced 12,987,000. Il
 have been saying on the
 strength of figures which 1 ob-
 tained early in January that the decreased consumption Of
 cotton in this country and abroad would run as high as 20 per cent. Figures publish
 ed in the Janary 18th issue of the Market Reporter" by the | U. s. Government estimate this reduced consumption at 25 per cent. 1 am not surprised at the
 tendency in that direction, be- cause farmers and laboring men in this country have lost their power to buy due to the tremendous loss which they have suffered and due also to unemployment.
 "Last year the world used 17,550,000 bales of cotton. Twenty-Five per cent less than that makes a usage of 13, 3,166,- 250 bales between August l, 1920 and the same date 1921. Subtract this from 25, ,624, ,000 bales of world supply and we will have a carry over on August 1, 1921 of 12,457, ,75o bales. This amount would be nothing more or less than a mill stone around our necks.
 eff we in America, and the rest of the world, proceed to plant a normal acreage of cot ton and raise normal crop in 1921, it means a world supply of between .26, 100000 and 30,- 000,000 bales, and this means
 nothing more or less than low
 priced cotton for two years.
 Nothing can save us from this situation but two things;
 first, a drastic reduction in cot
 ton production in the United States in 1921; or second, a more than miraculous recovery of the worlds power and abili- ty to consume cotton, undef
 which it would consume more than it has ever consumed in the largest year of cotton con- sumption. I do not believe that the last result can possibly happen.
 'Let no man or organization in the cotton territory believe
 for a moment that this is not
 a serious proposition. It is going to require heroic treat tment. Safe Farming and the production of our own food and feed is the primary considera- tion."
