ENORMOUS OYER-sUpPLY:
"A CALL TO ACTION


DO the records in regard to the
supply of cotton startle yous or IS
there a question in your mind as 70
their accuracy II you believe the
figures to be correct, what do you
believe will result if the South pro-
duces more than 100000 bales OF
cotton this year? Do you know why
cotton is no longer salable. There
are at least two bales Of cotton in
existence for every one that can be
spun during next year Can you,
upon any other fact Or theory, ex-
plain why cotton is 50 difficult to
sell?
The New Orleans cotton acreage
committee has been sending cut re-
GENTLY some statistics printed on lit
tie slips, on one side Of which is
printed THE South Must Know
the Truth, 'sYour Welfare IN Great
Danger stThe Call to Actor" and
HGet 1t Out Of Your Head That Any
thing but Supply and World Ability
to Buy Fixes the Price Of Cotton.
The figures given on these slips are
intended to withstand the closest
scrutiny Of the farmer and business
man. A challenge is extended friend
and foe alike to show that there is
any essential inaccuracy contained
in these statistics. They are based
upon the highest authority that we
know of-the United States Census
Bureau, United States Department Of
Agrieulture-and statements issued
by Col. Henry G. Hester, Of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange, who for
so years has been an unuqestioned
authority on the subject Of cotton.
United States government figures
showed 5,155,682 bales Of cotton, in
eluding 86S,897 linters, on hand in
the United States at July 81, 1919
There were at that date 45l 900 bales
Of American cotton at Liverpool,
81, 900 bales at Manchester, $4,000
bales at various places on the con-
tinent, S87017 bales afloat and 1888
bales exported on that date, but in
cluded IN neither the amount afloat
nor In port stocks and 100000 bales
IN Japan and other parts Of the world
not otherwise counted. This makes
total of 6,840.9b7 bales Of American
cotton unspun at July 81, 1919 Col. |
Hester made it at the same date,
that is, July 81, 1919, 6,844,0OO
bales American.
The governments figures to July
Il, 1920, were not out at the date
January 10, 1921-when this was
written. but will probably be out one
Law during the month Col Hester's
'igures made the amount at July 81,
920, 6,0S6,000 bales American in all
positions throughout the morld
Now, to ascertain the prospective

for us to know the size Of

YOU CAN'T DODGE IT
Once in Awhile Your Blood Clogs and
Your Vitality Runs Down
TAKE PEPTo.MANGAN
You'll Pick Up Again Quickly With
Plenty Of Red Blood COrpuseles.

Physicians nowadays take a blood
test when you are run down. They
count the red corpuscles in your
blood. If these are too few they
give you tonic for your blood 1t
happens right along. They are always
on the lookout for weak blood.
Why? Because they know when
your blood is weak your resistance
to disease is low. Your vitality and
energy quickly run down.
You can tell when your blood Is
weak. You lock pale, feel tired. You
are not i'll, but you don't feel right.
You don't want to do things. That
is the time to take the we'll known
tonic, Pepto- Mangan.

has decreased and therefore must be
deducted. and TINS amount in round
numbers is $1,000 bales. This crop,
according to the governments esti-
mate, is 10000 bales larger than
last years crop, therefore this
amount is to be added. We add
6,o86,000; 1,794,000; 1862 900 and
deduct $1,000 bales and we have APP
proximately 100000 bales, which is
a prospective carry-over at July 81,
1921, This prospective carry-ovef is
growing daily and will continue to
do SO until the mills become more
active. Approximately half the fiscal
year is gone. We may have
carry-over much in excess of TO-
100000 bales. 1t all depends upon
how soon the mills get to spinning
again and whether or not they spin
to capacity. There is little if any
possibility that the present pros
peetive carry-over can be decreased.
Your cooperation and the co.
operation Of every man, woman and
child IN the South for the common
good Of all. You can see from the
figures how imperative it is for acre
age to be reduced If you are an em-
ployer of help, tell them about it

dren, your preacher, doctor and
school teacher in order that their
interests may be excited. Their in
terests are Just as much as the man
who grows cotton, or the newspaper
man, or the banker, or the merchant,

DE DECREAsING MuLE JILL


The mules and horses used in the
South come largely from the North
era states. We do not produce any
where near the numbers used.
Recently a survey Of horse pro-
duction was made IN g counties in
illinois, The survey included 32,5l5
farms, which showed a total horse
population Of 288,546, Of which 45,-
4l2 are designated as brood mares.
This shows that out Of the average
Of 7.3 horse stock per farm there is
only an average Of about Ia brood
mares, Or there Is only about enc
brood mare out Of every five horses
on Illinois farms. Ia the months Of
April, May and June, 1920, only
8.9l8 colts were foaled on these 81
5iB illinois farms.
At this rate Of breeding it would
require N years to reproduce the
horse stock %on these Illinois farms,
which 0f course. means that there
must be d great increase in the horse
breeding in these 43 counties Of that
state or the horse power will be
greatly reduced.
The South needs more mower and
larger and more intelligent Use of
labor-saying implements as the best
means of reducing the cost Of pro-
BY decreasing man labor.
If the same decrease in horse
has taken place in the other
Northern states from which the.
South draws her horses and mules,
the outlook is not encouraging. The
prices Of mules have gone d0wn
recently, alone with other farm pro-
ducts, but such a decreased product
Jon does not indicate that either

Paris, Dec. .-(By Associated

army was given at $4,000 as Of
October l by the report Of the

The report was made public in
connection with the governments s
proposed law calling the class of

Lewis, assistant manager of Ore
gon Growers Cooperative associa-
tion, said Tuesday at the opening
session of the seventh annual
meeting of the Western Walnut
association in the green room OF
the Portland chamber of com
merce. The sessions will continue
through today.
"There is necessity for uniform
grading as to size and quality
Mr.. Lewis said. "a standard must
be set so that the public will know
what it is getting when it buys
The Oregon Growers Cooperative
association has adopted the Cali
fornia standard grade for size, but
many independent growers use
methods which differ somewhat
from standard, resulting in con-
fusion in marketing"
Mr.. Lewis gave advice as to the
cultural care of walnut trees, say.
ing that plants should be fed regu-
larly with plant feed and kept
moistured to the proper degree.
