FARM MACHINERY
REPAIR WEEK
Farm Bureau Recommends First Week
In March As Repair Week

Saturday, the Directors OF the Hand
County Farm Bureau went on record
as recommending the first week in
March as Farm Machinery Repair
Week" Every farmer in the County
is urged and requested to look over
his machinery, determine which parts,
if any, need replacing and get the
order in to his dealer Immediately.
In last weeks article on Machinery
Week" a typographical error was
made by the substitution OF the word
predicts for 'precludes.' This change
OF n word made the article read az
though a big sale of farm machinery
is expected this spring, when in fact,
the opposite is true. s
The object of Farm Machinery Re-
pair Week" is to make every old ma
chine do the best work possible for
this year and get by without buying
nCw machinery. The implement deal
ers are cooperating I'm this movement
as well as the manufacturers. All
dealers realize that a very light sale
of machinery will be possible this
spring. +
Many farmers wait until they are
ready to use their machinery before
going over it to determine it's condi-
ton for service. BY going oyer 1t now
much time may be saved later as the
dealers can get a supply OF parts by
freight rather than be forced to charg
express on hurry calls by waiting until
the last minute.

County Agent.

State Will Not Hold Usual
Sale OF School Lands

Pierre, Feb. 3.-The state land board
at a meeting decided that this spring
would not be a practicable time for
offering state lands for sale, and no
lands will be advertised in any of the
counties for the coming spring.
Real estate prices are SO uncertain
and the ability of the average purchas-
er to make such investments is limited
and it was considered best under all
circumstances to eliminate the sales
for the present year.
The indications are that there may
be some falling off of leases in Sec
tions where the scarcity of live stock
has made the state loans less desirable
but the demand for the leased land is
one which is governed by the demand
at the date OF leasing the latter part
of March, and conditions may be such
by that time that the demand will be
equal to that of former years.

COTTON.

An upheaval in cotton prices is
predicted by w. B. Thompson, the
New Orleans cotton expert. Those
who have been SO busy chanting cot
toms dirge that they have not pro-
tected themselves against the inevi-
table resurrection are going to have
to pay a heavy penalty for their ne
elect, according to the New Orleans
Nn's way of thinking.
a He declares the cotton situation
'intrinsically is by no means as bad
as current gloomy imagination paints
it, because the burden of present
oversupply and prospective carry
over is not nearly so heavy as cur
rent estimates indicate" The pro-
duction outlook, he thinks, in so far
as the new crop is concerned, is in
finitely more menacing to the con-
sumers than is the present over-sup-
/. ply situation to producers. The de-
mand for cotton is not dead, as it
appears to be, but is held in cumula-
tive allegiance, to be started into hun
cry activity as soon as the supply
situation develops stringency that
..ihe says is inevitable.
Nothing can prevent materially
higher prices ultimately, and nothing
but the acquired habit of fear and
panic-bred competition between spot
holders to undersell each other can
prevent materially higher prices in
the near future" He cites calcula-
tions to show that the probable car
ry-over of the world July 1, 1921
will be 6,124,000 bales. instead OF
12,457,74O bales, as originally pre-
dicted by the United States bureau
of markets. He puts the maximum
1921 crop at 100000 bales. These
figures, together with others he cites
he says will put prices to high levels
and that the supply situation fol
the next IL months holds more O
menace to the consumer than the de
mand situation now holds for the
producer"
The present apathetic state of de
mand Mr.. Thompson attributes tC
two direct causes, first the inabilit!
OF certain Nations to buy at all; am
second, the disposition of all Ma
tions not to buy under present con
ditions.-Charlotte Observer.
