Cotton Mills Moving to the
Cotton Fields.

Here and there throughout the
South we read Of cotton mill being
erected. Where one is established
there should be hundreds.
Texas, the greatest cotton produc-
ing state in or out of the Union, has
only about "baker's dozen" of mills
of limited capital whereas this infant
empire of the Southwest should man
ufacture the greater part of its cot
ton production. Why is it that capital
is so slow to seek investment in an
industry which under fairly compe-
tent management always pays dlv1-
dends.
The manufacture of cotton has
built cities and enriched communities
wherever it has taken foothold.
The South offers natural induce
ments and advantages for the manu-
facture of cotton which no other land
far or near can even approximate and
which are almost an unfailing guar
anty of success beyond the fondest
dreams of avarice.
Looked at from every angle there
can only be promise and profit re-
fected from the proposition Of cot
ton manufacture in the South as light
is reflected from every facet Of
diamond.
With a climate so mild and balmy-
that work may be done nearly the
whole year undee comfortable condi-
tions; with the raw material bloom
ing and maturing at the very doors
of the factory and with the means of
transportation accessible on every
hand for ready freightage of the fin
ished product to all markets-these
and other favoring conditions make
the South the logical, the ideal-yes
the inevitable, seat and center of the
coming cotton manufacturing, indus
try on this hemisphere.
Slowly but surely the mills are
moving to the cotton fields of the
South till even now Southern mills
are consuming more cotton annually
than all the mills Of the north put
together.-Farm & Ranch.

Burbank has rival in the person
of Elwin D., Seaton, CALIFORNIA; new
"plant wizard"
His latest and most remarkable
production is one hundred and eighty
eight stalks of wheat from single
garin. While these giant stalks cover
considerably more territory than the
former one stalk of wheat grown
from a single grain he is neverthe-
less producing from seven to eight
times as much wheat per acre as has
ever been produced before, and this
ON land where little wheat had ever
grown.
Seaton has made a life time study
of the soil, subjecting it to micro
scopic examinations to attain increas-
ed and better food production, and
for the past seventeen year he has
been conducting experiments On his
ranch, which, by the way, is not so
very far from that other wizard, Lu-
ther Burbank.
He has not confined his expert
mems to wheat alone, but has had re-
markable success with barley, oats
and other grains, and with prunes
and apples.
seaton's theory is that all plant
growth and development is dependent
primarily on the presence of soil bac-
terra. The secret of success he says is
to maintain the "fife substance" of
the soil by feeding and cultivating
the bacteria it contains, and put the
soil in proper condition to receive the
seed before planting. He does this by
using cover crops of clover, alfalfa
and the like.-Augusta Chronicle.

Cooperative Marketing.

Economic pressure has forced far
mers into organized bodies for mar
keting their products. From being
strictly producers they are rapidly
becoming distributors as well. In this
they are meeting more or less oppo-
sition from men who have heretofore
controlled distribution and who have
large investments in equipment.
These men have for years served both
producers and consumers. Under the
old system they performed necessary
and valuable service. Today we can
not get along without the so-called
middlemen, but through cooperative
maketing their numbers are very like
ly to become less.
Middlemen are not all dishonest, or
all profteers. AS matter OF fact,
they will probably average with any
other class of business men, includ-
ing the producers 1T is not because
middlemen are considered dishonest
as a class that farmers have made a
start towards disposing of the ser
vices of some of them, but because of
the multiplicity of middlemen. The
system of distribution, instead of be-
coming more simplifed, has continued
to grow more complex until farm
products are passed through so many
hands before reaching the consumer
that there is nothing left for the pro-
ducer, while the consumer is forced
to pay such high prices that consump-
ton is materially reduced. Shortening
this road and securing more equi.

table division Of the proceeds is the
object of the producers, and in ac-
complishing this many brokers, buy
ers and other classes of middlemen
will be forced to look for other jobs.
Cooperative marketing has not
been such failure as some are try
ing to infer. Last year the returns to
producers in Michigan were increased
2,0SO,OO0. In Mississippi farmers re-
ceived profit of s1,5Oo,Ooo by pool
ing products. Nebraska farmers han
died s1OO,OOO,OOO of products CO.
operatively and California s250,O0O,-
900 worth. Reports coming in from
all over the nation indicate success
in the movement for more direct mar.
keting, and these reports come from
both small and large organizations.
True, there will be many failures,
but the many successes will encour=
age producers to keep on trying un-
til more perfect system is estab-
lished. The old system of passing g.
product from a local buyer to larg-
er buyer and from him to a broker
and from the broker to the whole
saler and from him to a retailer and
thence to the consumer has got to
go.-Farm & Ranch.

Why Not Make These Promises

A good friend of ours in Los An
geles, Ford Ashman Carpenter who
is a professor of meteorology, aero
nautics and several other things like
that, knows that most of the troubles
we have are troubles we think into
existence ourselves. He suggests to
us, therefore, that for our own sakes
we manifest in our daily lives during
the coming year the wisdom express
ed in the following by some unknown
writer:
Promise yourself: =
To be so strong that nothing can
disturb your peace of miud.
To talk health, happiness and pros
perity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that
there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side OF every
thing and make your optimism come
true.
To think only of the best, to work
only for the best and to expect only
the best
To be just as enthusiastic about
the success of others as,you are about
your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achieve
ments of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at
all times and give every living crea-
ture you meet smile.
To give so much time to the i'm
provement of yourself that you have
no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too no.
bic for anger, too strong for fear
and too happy to permit the presence
of trouble.-Builders, Published by
Lockwood, Creme & Co.

Secretary of State Hughes and
Minister to England Harvey.

Hon. Charles E. Hughes, secretary
of state, speaking at the alumni din
ner of Brown University, Providence,
R. l., Wednesday night, made this
statement: "It was America, the ex-
emplar of free institutions, aiding hu-
manity in their preservation, that
called for the supreme endeavor.
Later, during his address he said:
"Our men did not go forth to fight
for this nation as one of imperislis-
tic designs and cunning purpose, or
to protect land where avarice might
find its surest reward. They offered
their lives, an dali the energies OF
the country were harnessed in the su-
preme effort, because we loved the in
stitutions of liberty and intended to
maintain them, because we hated ty-
ranny and the brutality and ruthless
ness which found expression in the
worship of force, and because we
found our fate linked with that of
the free peoples who were struggling
for the preservation of the essentials
of freedom.
"With them we made common
cause, and, as from one end of the
country to the other rang appeals in
the name of civilization itself, the
whole nation responded. You cannot
obtain such a unity of effort in this
country with voluntary sacrifice on
every hand Gaping the most extra
ordinary demands of government, un-
less that effort is inspired by lofty
ideals.
cit was America the exemplar of
free institutions, aiding humanity in
their preservation that called forth
the supreme endeavor. This senti-
ment is still with US, and, after all,
despite the need of correct analysis
and cool judgment in working out our
economic problems, it is the aspira-
ton of our people and their attach
ment to the conceptions Of we'll
ordered liberty which constitute our
security in peace as they proved to
be in the inexhaustible source of ma
tional power in war"
There was no reference, naturally,
to the .stoo proud not to fight" utter
ances of Harvey, at the Pilgrim din
ner, in London, recently, but the ut
terancees of the secretary of state
were accepted as matter of course
as an answer to Harvey's remarkable
address.
1t is taken that Secretary Hughes
knows more about our purpose in en-
tering the war and our duties grow
ing out of the war than does Harvey.
The minister at st. James will well
squirm when he reads the Hughes
address in the. London papers.-Au-
gusta Chronicle.

Is it Worth While to be a
Doctor?

At a recent meeting of the Penn
sylvania Medical Society held in Pitts
burg, the question was brought up
for discussion els the practice OF
medicine worth while?" The Penn
sylvania Medical Juornal says that
the question was we'll answered by
DR.. Spencer M. Free of Dupois, Pa,
who believes that the answer to the
question depends entirely on a mans
ideal of life.
What he says is worth anybody's
reading and is very comprehensive
statement of the high ideals that con-
troll and influence the best of the
medical profession. Dr. Free said;
eff your ideas of life are money,
ease, fame, the praise of your fellow,
men; if you want to have good
time, if you want to be in society, If
you want to marry a woman and
make her happy instead of uncom-
Portable and miserable-keep out of
medicine. If you want to live the
ideal life, if you have that in your
soul which fixes your eyes upon the
stars, if you have in mind the great
Man of Nazareth, than whom no
greater has lived in the history of the
world, who caught the inspiration OF
the Golden Rule, who placed service
above self, who gave up his job and
). ..ndered through all of that coun-
try teaching his ideals, who said to
his disciples, IF you would be the
greatest of all be servant Of ALL If
you have these ideals and do not care
for the accumulation of money, do
not mind missing meals frequently,
do not care what people say about
you, then the practice of medicine
is worth while. If you want home
you can not have it without some real
woman. If you can find such a wo-
man, present the mattre fairly and
squarely to her, tell her what she will
have to endure at your hands, that
she must go through life without the
silks and satins and furs of other
women, that she must do without the
social life and the many things that
are attractive to her. If she is then
willing to stand with you and be a
helpmeet, marry her. There is no
man on earth who stands so close to
Almighty God as the honest doctor
who has the inspiration of souls to
heal as we'll as bodies to heal. Ours
is double office. People lie to every
body but to the doctor, and some
times to him, But we get nearer to
the truth, we know more about the
skeletons in closets and about the in
ner history of the man, woman, and
child in family. We onght to know
it is the secret of our heart, and that
gives US ower."-Augusta Chroni-
