COOPERATION NEEDED

The Press and Banner would not
be put IN the position Of claiming to
know more about the present farm.
ing difficulties than anyone else in
the community. The fact is that we
all know but little, and we are due
to have many sad experiences before
we emerge from the difficulties which
now beset us. We are going to try
one experiment after another per-
haps with unsatisfactory results
But there is one thing We believe
we do know, and that is this: The
man who farms twenty acres in cot
ton to the plow next year and works
it as he has been accustomed to work
it, with little fertilizer and a plqw-
ing about every three weeks, will
gather about one bale of cotton.
There has been no weather as yet to
destroy the boil weevil. Unless Sc
we're weather destroys the weevil in
this section, it will cover the county
next summer. No man in the county
should plant more than six acres of
land ia cotton to the plow. This he
should fertilize well and work well,
plowing it at least twice each week.
This much has been said many times
before bnt il cannot be emphasized
too serGasly.s.It is the ;orly way by
which cotton may be produced il
boil weevil infested communities.
That is the experience other peoples
have had, and it will be our expert
One farmer says that he will keep
on planting cotton until his crop is
destroyed. He will not be warned ex-
cept By the weevil itself. We cannot
blame the farmers here perhaps, for
taking this position because they have
followed this course in every other
community where the boil weevil has
gone. Those of US who have been
visited BY the weevil the past year
however may take warning. We have
done SO, and only the amount of cot
ton indicated will be planted. -,
What are we going to plant on the
other lands? Certainly, as we have
said, we will plant enough corn and
food crops to support the farm. But
We need other money CROPS. The
Press and Banner from all the infor-
nation it has been able to gather be-
lieves that we must turn to peanuts
or sweet potatoes. OF the two crops
peanuts will in our judgment be the
surer crop TO result in profit to those
who do the planting. But we cannot
plant peanuts and have market for
them unless a sufficient number of
farmers are willing to plant a crop
OF them to make it profitable for
buyers to come here and ship away
what is grown.
What are the people going to do
about it? Somebody we think should
take the matter up. Capt. Nickles as
the head of the county cotton grow
ers association might call a meeting
to consider the matter. In that way
we could ascertain the wishes of the
farmers. more quickly and more
thoroughly than in any other way.
The matter deserves consideration,
we believe. What say the farmers?
Unless some organization takes the
lead and makes canvass of the
county to find out how many farmers
are willing to plant a certain num-
Der Of acres in peanuts or in pota-
toes we may not expect results from
the experiment. 1t is a matter in
which there must be cooperation else
the experiment need not be tried. We
hope that Capt. Nickles and his or

Of all offerings by important interests
which has been going on for some time
has placed the market in position TO be
readily responsive to new demand, what

usual caution should be displayed when
entering market on the buying side. We
believe also that If there is any real merit
in the situation then the July delivery

old crop Will be well cleaned up before
the next crop is available This being
so, there will be a rather widespread de-

Corn and Oats-COnsidering the neglect
which has prevailed in corn for so long

NEW YORK, Feb. Trading on the
stock exchange yesterday was brisk, with
sentiment cheerful and the undertone
firm. The advance was general, but by
no means evenly distributed as Il large
proportion Of the gains were fractional in
extent. There we're enough instances Of
buOyancy. however, TO give the market
a strong appearance, particularly as the
largest gains were made by some of the
leading speculative favorites.
Bullish sentiment was decidedly en-
couraged by the performance of Baldwin

Steel The oils, steels and equipments
showed a good deal of frmness, although
advances We're not fully maintained. The
cOppers steadied after more or less ir-
regularity earlier in, the day.
Undoubtedly sentiment was helped by
the oversubscriptiOn Of the new issue Of
S30000,000 Great Northern Railroad ga
per cent bonds, as well as the reception
to the Offering of $75OOOOO0 of Federal
Land Bank bonds. The ability Of tbs
investment market TO take care of two
such large issues quite naturally was
construed as fairly good evidence of alb
sohptive power.
The financial district is still more or
less puzzled over the advance in Sterling,
which showed signs OF a slackening in
pace. The most plausible explanation
carries the theory that it was a surprise
to shorts who had sold Sterling in the
expectation Of covering on offerings Of
cotton bills which thus far have not been
forthcoming owing to the relatively small
imports by Liverpool. Up to the close of
last week British imports had amounted
TO only $4,000 bales since Aug. l, com
pared with 1116,00O for the same period
last year, and 2.097, 900 bales for the cor

mere cutting down in offerings Of cotton
bills to the extent of 100000 bales in a

RANGE OLE HoG PRICES

Swine prices were generally steady to
strong in trade on the local livestock
exchange today, but there were q few
sales of heavy and extremely heavy swine
at prices that were around 15625c higher
than those paid for the same grade on
the market of the previous day. Re
ceipts ran close TO $500 for the day.
There were but few heavy swine on the
market, which was the principal factor
IN the higher sales of that grade.
Both local packers and shippers with
Eastern house connections displayed fair
demands, and with trade active, prac-
ucaIly all of the receipts had been sold
at an early hour in the forenoon
Early estimates places receipts at much
higher figures than an actual count re
vealed, and this had the tendency to
strengthen the late dealings.
Light swine generally brought $40,
with few light mixed at around $500.
Mediums and mixed sold at $975d990
and heavies at $060@9.75 Rughs were
about steady, selling at IS and down
generally, and pigs sold at the price
Of the loads. Stays brought S6.5O07 80.
The bulk of the sales for the day ranged
at S960d990.
There was not the good tone to trade
IN cattle that there was on the market
or the day before and prices ruled barely
steady to 15M25c lower. Receipts for
the day ran close to 1000 and the quality
generally was above the usual run.
Packers displayed fair demands, but they
were reluctant In making purchases un-
less at lower figures.
Steers and heifers suffered losses rang
ing from 15Gg25c. while the general run
Of the bulls were fully 25c lower. Heavy
bulls were again in very poor demand
Cows held about steady, as did Gamers
and cutters.
The bulk of the steers sold at around

Veal prices ruled steady generally.
with receipts around 400 the quality fair
and the demand good. There was a top
Of $3.50 on choice veals. while the bulk
Of that grade sold at around S13.
Sheep and lamb values were again
steady. with receipts for the day close to
90, the quality good and the demand
good There was a top of $3.50 on choice
lambs, while the range OF the price Of
lambs was from $11N13.
