COTTON ACREAGE:

REsoLUTioN-PLANs FOR
1922 OUTLINED AT THE CON.
VENTION.

Memphis, Dec. l5.-LlmfOatlon
of acreage planted in cotton in
1922 to the same preparation of the
land placed in cultivation in all
crops as prevailed in 1921 in a
campaign for diversifcation to
make every farmer self-supporting
regardless of the trend of cotton
prices was urged and plans to this
end for State organizations were
outlined in resolutions adopted to-
day by committee authorized by
the Cotton Acreage Convention in
session here to draft plans to stabi-
lie conditions in the cotton indus
try.
Adoption of the resolutions fol-
lowed addresses by planters, bank
ers and merchants, reviewing &C
con1plishments of the cotton acre
age reduction campaign in 1921 and
urging the same restriction be ad-
hered to in 1922.
Opposition to acreage limitation
came from but two states, Texas
and Arkansas. The delegates from
these states asked the convention
not to go on record as limiting the
acreage to any certain proportion
of the land in cultivation during
1921. This difference was compro-
missed sin committee by enbodying
in the resolutions a provision that
the proportion of the total acre
age planted, in cotton in 1922
should not exceed the proportion
planted in all other crops.
The resolution will he presented
to the convention for ratification
tomorrow.
The resolution, after stating
that present conditions show the
necessity for continuance Of the
limitation of cotton acreage in
1922 and expressing fear that cot
ton growers will be tempted by
present prices to disregard the
rules of "safe and sane farming,
thereby inviting return Of the
disastrous financial and economic
Conditions which prevailed in 1921"
urged every farmer to produce the
foodstuffs necessary to support all
livestock on the farm, that the acre
age planted to feed be based on the
minimum production of bad year;
that every farmer be urged to make
an independent home living through
utilizing the products of at least
one cow, one sow and TWO dozen
hens, and by producing on his farm
all food that soil and climatic condi-
tions will permit.
To insure a more widespread
campaign for Limitation of acreage
next year, delegates were named
from each cotton producing state
as follows:
Louisiana, W. P. Thompson;
Mississippi, S. J. High; Tennessee,
Leon Sternberger; Oklahoma, John

Women's high-heeled shoes, regard
ed by medical science for years as
production of nervous troubles, paral-
ysis and other Ills, have at last come
in for professional commentator.
That high-heeled shoes may be re-
garded as a preventive of consumption
was the declaration of Doctor Gautiez
before the Academy of Sciences.
Doctor Gautiez, following expert
ments, found. he declared, that the &C
ton Of standing or walking on the toes
is conducive to chest breathing as op-
posed to abdominal breathing. Many
cases of consumption, he pointed out,
have their origin in the fact that the
upper lungs of abdominal breathers
become diseased through lack of COM
plete use-a condition from which the
wearers of high-heeled shoes seldom
suffer.

SAVING DID HIM NO GOOD

made up my mind that was smoking
too much. 1t didn't seem to affect my
health in the least, but thought it
foolish waste of money, and 1 decided
to give it up."
"a very sensible idea," remarked
BrOwnlow.
$50 / thought at the time, 1 reck-
Oned up as closely as I could how
much 1 had been spending each day
on cigars and tobacco. That sum
set aside each morning, and started
banking account with it. I wanted to
be able to show exactly how much l
had saved by not smoking"
"And how did it work?" inquired
BrOwnlOw.
"At the end of six years had f15O
in the bank"
Good! Could you let me-"
"And a few days later" interrupted
Smithson, "last Tuesday, in fact-the
bank failed. You haven't got cigar
about you, have you?"

She Objected at Last.

He had just gone into the grocery
business and did nothing except talk
"shop-shOp-shop" when he went to
see his best girl. At first she endured
it because she did not wish to offend
him; later merely because she could
find no way to reproye him.
But her chance came One night
when he was at her house he picked
up the telephone book and began
idly to glance through it. His idle
manner became one of interest as he
scanned one page. Then her wrath
Overcame her. "It's been bad enough
to hear you talk about nothing else
but that old store" she stormed, "but
it's too much for you to come to my
house and go through the telephone
book hunting out prospective custom
erS."

Tractor Which Walks.

A new type of tractor that has re-
Gently been developed has a series of
legs and walks like a. horse. There are
four crankshafts, each having a set of
four legs, giving the tractor sixteen
legs on which it walks: In addition
there are four wheels automatically
operated by tie tractor engine, so that
they can be lowered to the roadbed,
thus converting the machine into a
motor truck. The feet are shod to con-
form to the ground conditions.
1t is said that the tractor may be
used to pillow, seed, cultivate, harrow,
NOW and harvest, rake, furnish power
for other machinery as tractor and
power plant and also to act as a truck
for road work and heavy hauling.

NEED OF FOREIGN MARKETS
New York Business Man Tells How in
His Opinion America May
Control Trade Marts.

IF the United States expects to OBJ
merce," New York broker was over
heard to say, sit must keep pace with
other world powers with which 1t has
to compete. Trained men are neces-
sary in any line of business and for
eign commerce is one line In which
training is absolutely essential"
II believe that the United States
merchant marine is again to come into
its own continues the same broker
in the Washington Post, "but the finest
lot of merchandise on earth, coupled
with the greatest fleet of merchant YES
sells ever known, is of no avail unless
backed up by the selling ability and
understanding of trained men who
know how to place American goods In
foreign markets.
"All the large mercantile firms are
taking steps to train men specially for
each country in which they expect to
do business. The prospective salesman
or manager for any particular coun-
try is educated in the language, his
tory, traditions and peculiaritieS OF
that country, so that he can in sense
meet the people on their own ground.
He knows just what to do under given
conditions and Is of vast value to the
firm that employs him.
"The bureau of foreign and dOmes-
tic commerce is doing a great deal of
good in aiding in tie introduction Of
American goods abroad, but | think
the government should go step furth-
er and have a regular school for such
experts, maintained on the same stand
ing and in the same relation to COM
merce in general as West Point stands
to the army or Annapolis to the navy.
The students should be taught every
possible fact regarding European, Ash
attic and South American countries, so
that trey could step forth as experts,
each on some particular country. Such
a school would amply repay the gov
eminent in the large increase in vol
ume of foreign business which would
be attained"

C. M. MATTHEWS HOME
 FROM THE GOLDEN WEST

C. M. Mathews, of Little Rock, who made trip to the west last sum- mer, writes:
 q have just returned from an ex- tended trip to the Golden West; trav- eled through eleven states, visited some of the largest cities, including Kansas City, Mo-; Denver, Colo; Salt Lake City, Utah; San Francisco and Catalina Island. Travelled about 1000 miles. On my whole trip I never saw an intoxicated man or a drop of alcoholic liquor. The peo- pie seem to be contented and happy with prohibition. In California, the great grape state, the people are get ting almost double the amount for their grapes as in former years. So prohibition has not killed the grape industry but has killed the saloon business in the great Golden West. "
