The 1920 COTTON CROP

The, Bureau of the Census, of the
Department of Commerce, will shortly
distribute the annual pamphlet show
/ ing cotton ginned in the United States
! from the crop of 1920. The publica-
ton will show the quantity of cotton
gained from that crop by states and
| by counties. The final figures of cot
ton ginned are 13,270,970 running
bales, counting round as half bales,
equivalent to 13,439,6O3 bales of 500
pounds each. This was the largest
crop grown since 1914, being 1,958.519
equivalent 500-pound bales larger than
/ the average for the crops of 1915 to
1919, inclusive.
Compared with the crop of 1919,
there was an increase in cotton pro-
duction in each state, with the excep-
ton of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi.
and Virginia. The largest increase
was in Texas,-1,246,315 bales of 500
, pounds each. Oklahoma and Arkansas
also showed large increases, the for
mer making its record crop, with a
total of 1,336,29S bales. The states
west of the Mississippi river produced
in 1920. 56.2 per cent. of the crop, and
tAOSe east u Inc river, 1915 per cent.
The corresponding percentages for
1919 were 4S.1 and SIS, respectively.
Owing to the boll-weevil infestation
of the Sea-Island districts, the pro-
duction Of this type of cotton has al
most ceased, the total for the crop
being only 1,S68 running bales, where
as in 1916, the total was 1859 bales.
The production of the American
Egyptian cotton in Arizona and Cali
fornia for the crop of 1920 was 92,561
bales.
During the ten month period ending
May 81, 1921, the production of linters
amounted to 423,605 bales of 500
pounds each. The years production
of linters will likely be the smallest
for any crop since 1910.

HOME OWNERSHIP.

The discussed question as TO
whether or not it is cheaper to own
home or to pay rent is still unset
tied, but it is certainly true that the
man who pays rent never acquires
anything but bunch of receipts while
the man who owns his home is con-
stantly improving it and enhancing
it's value. Moreover. if a man spent
the same amount of money on the
purchase price of home as he spends
on rentals, he would soon own his
place.
But to the average salaried man
and wage Garner, the way to acquire
home is not explained. The man
with a large family to support, and
depending solely upon his wages or
his salary, which is a fixed amount
per month.--how is he going to buy
a home, no matter how earnestly he
might wish to do so? The first thing
he will learn when he sets out to do
it is that it requires a pretty good
sized cash DOWN payment. If he
could make that, the rest would be
easy. But how will he make that?
The man who has been paying rent
and supporting family usually has
not much chance to save up anywhere
from several hundred dollars to q
couple of thousand. Where is he go
ing to get it? He could easily afford
to pay thirty, or thirty-five or forty
dollars a month for a home. He has
been used to meeting such payments
for rent. He could do it to apply on
the purchase of a home.
If those who advocate the buying
of homes could so arrange it that a
wage Garner or salaried man could
move into a home, the same as when
he rents, and (without making any
payment DOWN Immediately begin to

will venture that there would be a

feel that their money payments were

than the rent of home. And we
will venture that not so many houses

This is the thing which some build
er, who really desires to do some good
TO humanity, while at the same time
selling his houses as fast as he can
build them, should take into consider

is to rent, and the most men will buy
without hesitation-and furthermore
they will meet their payments prompt

thing, and look how Chicago has

Mookery of Justice in German Courts

In withdrawing its mission from
Leipsic, where the trials of German
war criminals are in progress. the
French government has shown its dis
gust of the mockery at justice which
these trials have caused.
Why the allied governments should
have ever decided to countenance
these trials is strange, since German
criminals are being tried before Ger
man judges and juries, who have dealt
out acquittals without the slightest
consideration of the evidence present
ed.
As long as the trials are before these
courts justice will be conspicuous by
its absence.
The acquittal of Lieut.. Gen. Karl
up to date. 1t was proved that he
ordered wounded French soldiers killed
on the battlefield and a subordinate
officer, Maj Bruno Crusius, who tes-
titled that he received orders from
Stenger to slay the wounded of the
enemy on the battlefield, and who car
ried them out, was sentenced to two
years Imprisonment and deprived OF
his uniform. This is proof of the gem
erals guilt, but because the man was
of high rank the German jury did not
hesitate in finding him not guilty. All
other evidence against the general
was also thrown out.
If the trials last indefinitely the re-
suits will not be different. A German
cannot be expected to convict Ger
man who caused a Frenchman or an
Englishman or an American to suffer-!
Deep below the surface the old hate
still burns; these trials have demon
strated it.
1t is better to hold no trials than to
go, through this form of mockery. If
the allied governments are determined
to see these criminals tried-and they
should be tried and given the heaviest
penalties when proved guilty-tfey
should at least demand a voice in the
hearings. The mere presence of spec
tators does not prompt justice. The
past is shameful proof of this.-Flor-
ida Metropolis.

PRESS COMMENT
Mans Debt to the World

Discussing the case of a young man
who had been arrested for burglary
and declared that ''the world owes me
living" the Springfield Union re-
Gently declared that this idea which
extent in some quarters is all wrong.
1t is point of view that if encouraged
would certainly increase crime and
should be discountenanced whenever
appearing. The Union says:
The inevitable principle of existence
and progress is just the opposite. The
world owes nothing to the man born
into it, but he owes the world all the
ability there is in him. is whole po-
is an obligation to the world and to
the human society of which he is a
part. The world owes no man a liv-
ing; on the other hand. every man
owes the world the effort that makes
him living. and, If he makes more
than that, he also owes that excess in
some from or other. Civilized society
is made up of men and women who
owe it their effort If they are capable
of it. Of course, If they are born in
.capacitated, the equation is changed,
and society in that case owes whatever
help may be necessary. But those are
the exceptional dependent cases. So
ciety owes nothing to those who are
capable of working for 1t. A man who
can break into fifty safes is a capable
of honest effort also, provided he is
mentally responsible. If he isn't So
ciety owes him nothing really. but it
is under obligation to itself to put him
in a nadhouse for criminals. The no.
ton that this young New York Grim
inal carried to its logical conclusion
is a notion with which many are dali
lying in their sociological theories and
even in their theories. of government.
1t is argued, and with force. that
much of socialism depends upon this
mistaken notion that society owes in
dividuals everything. The safe and
sane course is that of industry, thrift
and enterprise. However much a
man may desire to believe that the
world owes him a living if he is intel
iigent he will know that the living
must be made by himself if there is TO
be any security in 1t.
Crime has run a reckless course, fol-
lowing the world war, which naturally
brutalized and distorted minds, but the
criminal sooner or later finds that his
career is ill-chosen. Few men or wom-
en- who voluntarily trespass against
their neighbors and try to live without
legitimate labor long, continue in the
enjoyment of ill-gotten gains.
There is something more than APP
plause for good and honest work;
there is the satisfaction that cannot
be obtained through the commission OF
a crime or mean act. 1t is one thing
to have every hand against you and
another to feel that your efforts are
approved by many. The loafer, the
thief, and the swindier no matter how
clever, are lonely, and when most Sc
cure realize that their sins viii some
day find them OUTLINES Union.
