SOLUTION OF COTTON PROBLEM

Arguing for the reduction of cot
don acreage, j. Il. Box, Grapevine
Texas banker, declares that the solu-
ton of the cotton problem is in the
hands Of the farmer. He says in part
as follows:
There have been numerous eff
forts put forth by different business
interests during the last decade or
TWO to stabilize the cotton market
lund maintain fair price for same
And | have supported and assisted
several of these attempts made.
However, The more l study the mat
ter and the more / observe the stu
alton and circumstances, the more
convinced | am that such undertake
ings are practically of no value. un-
less stored and led by the farm
ers. The bankers, lawyers, mer-
chants, nor any other class OF busi-
ness men can have very much in
fluence regarding the price Of cot
ton, unless backed up by wide
spread spirit of willingness and CO.
operation on the part OF the farm
ers
Manipulation Of the market and
also of the supply, by the specula-
tors and mill men, have some effec,
on the price. But when the producer
takes hand in the situation and
keeps surplus from being On the
market. such manIpulators will be
greatly hampered and will have lit
tie chance for operation.
The farmers of the south are to-
day wondering what will be the out
come of the present conditions, and
are making varied appeals for help,
when the key to the situation is be-
ing held in their own hands. l was
raised on the llrm and have given
much Thought TO this subject for
many years, and 1t now seems to me
that never before was the fate Of the
price of cotton hanging in the bal
ance as At the present time. The
time Of the crisis is fast approach

ton the manipuators' would reai-

ter OF price and that their prey was

Mr.. Box goes on to say THAI a
large crop in 1921 will s,agnate the
cotton market Tor the next few
years. causing millions OF dollars of
loss to the south and causing the
world to look upon the southern
farmers as poor, ignoran, and help
less, whereas a hrge per centage of
them are high class and OF great in

have just the opposite effect.

SWEPT BY DESTROYING
FIRE WEDNESDAY, MORN

Worchester, Mass. Jan. 2O.-This
city was spotted by fires early We'd
nesday with a loss that ran upwards
of $1,000 900.
Two business buildings on Main
street heavily stocked with mershan-
disc were burned out. A few blocks
south of city hall, a score Of tene-
ment structures We're overrun by
sparks that caused roof blazes. and
guests at the Bancroft and Newpark
shotels situated between the business
and the tenement district, prepared
to follow the tenement dwellers into
the zero temperature on the streets.
While this epidemic of flames en-
gagged all the city's apparatus. another
fire spot developed several blocks
northeast Of city hall at North Fos-
ter and Union street, where the wood
working plant of the NJ. X. Smith
corporation was burned with a loss
Of $4,000.
The origin Of the principal fires
was not definitely determined but the
police said they had only the faint
est suspicion of incendarism.
The fire area was too great to be
adequately covered by the citys fire
fighting forces, and Boston, Clinton.

He observes with qualification a

greater contempt for farmers of any
class who would plant more because
of the knowledge that other farm

GET AWAY FROM COTTON

1t is not our desire to say anything
against the organization of local
branch of the Oklahoma Cotton Grow
ers Association, or to attempt to de-
merit any possible good which this
branch may help the association ac-
complishing.
But, while il is more possible that
the association, acting in conjunction
with the associations of other states,
will do much toward bringing about
an increase in the price paid the
producer for cotton, at the same time
the greatest good in this line will be
accomplished through the farmers Of
the south getting away from cotton,
as the sole crop.
The man who will cut down his
cotton acreage without planting his
land TO other crops is a poor business
man, just as poor a business man as
is the one who continues, year in and
year out, to do his part in bringing
about an over-production Of the great
southern staple.
AS we see it and understand il. the
farmers Of the south must get away
from the one crop idea. They must
get away from all cotton. Just as the
farmers of the north and northwest
must get away from all corn and
all wheat
Diversification in farming spells
success. Diversifcation. sensibly ap-
Piled, means greater variety Of money
crops and better equalization of the
prices paid for al crops. The farmer
who raises n little cotton, a little
wheat, little corn, "A few hundred
bushels Of potatoes. Irish and sweet.
few hundred bushels of cowpeas.
n few tons Of alfalfa and a few tons
OF kafir corn is the farmer whose
bank account will always be above the
danger line.
Reduce the cotton acreage, in the
big Gotten producing areas: reduce
the wheat acreage in the lands OF the |
wheat barons; reduce the acreage OF
corn in the corn-growing sections, |
and raise more livestock to which
the grain grown can be fed. Scatter

which may be accomplished by tariff .

cation, and then watch the basket.
will succeed where others fail.
But the diversification must be car.
ried on in a common sense manner.
To diversity does not mean that the
farmer should raise a whole lot ~
crops. the cultivation Of which he is
knows nothing. II means that he
must raise a little Of everything.
