Increase in Cotton
Acreage Means Disaster

If the South planted 32,332, 900
acres to- cotton in 1921, there is real
need for a most thorough and COM
prehensive campaign to prevent an
increase in acreage in 1922. The Of
fetal estimates are that 81 ,427 900
acres were picked and that >2.8 per
cent of the acreage planted was aban-
doned. If this be true then 81 ,427,- :
900 acres are 97.2 per cent of the
total paintings, which means that
32,332,OO acres were planted in 1921.
Accepting the final estimates of the
paintings of 1920, as 37,043,000 acres,
the reduction of the acreage in 1921
from 1920 was 1877 per cent. This
is a very material reduction, for it
means that where eight acres were
planted in 1920 only seven acres were
planted in 1921, but it is not as great
a reductions was made in 1892
froms 1891; in 1895 from 1894; 1905
from 1904, and 1915 from 1914.
1t must, therefore, be plain to any
thinking man that instead OF. increas-
ing the acreage in 1922, as we al
ways have done following an advance
in price, we should really reduce the
acreage again in 1922, at least suf-
ficient to bring the combined reduc-
tions Of 1921 and 1922 down to
where they would equal the reduc'
tions of 1905 and 1915.
Even though we admit that the Of
fetal estimate of the acreage plant
ed in 1921 is too high and that the es
innate of the yield per acre, 1865
pounds, is too low, it must be ap.

and is every bale as much as W.
shall need in 1922.

While continual effort Is being made
to introduce promising new plants into
the United States, the various
branches Of the Department Of Agr-
culture are striving to avoid making
additions to the imported insects and

Besides special guarantees and plant

official paper and pointing out re-

printed right in town, as against
papers printed elswhere.
The two papers are agreed on one
thing: that Kelvin is to be the big
oil town, which is only to start an
argument with Sunburst, and the
belief of the editor is expressed as
follows:
"There is no argument about it,
Kelvin is the perpetual motion city,

WITHOUT STREET ADDRESS
YOUR MAIL is DELAYED
AT OFFICE OF DELIVERY

The Dead Letter Office has been in
existence ever since Ben Franklin
started postal service. Even then
people addressed mail to Mr.. Ezekiel
Smithers, Atlantic Coast" and ex-
pected Ben to know just where Zeke
lived.
Perhaps they had Zeke's address In
letters up in the garnet, maybe a chest
full Of 'em, but then it was easier to
let Ben hunt Zeke. Today people are
addressing letters to John Smith, New
York, N. Y, or Chicago, ILL.,, thinking
Uncle Sam can locate him, which Is

dress of yore. The Postoffice Depart

Odd Case Of Friendship.

A parrot and a kitten who belonged
to the same owner were on very
friendly terms. There came a day
when the old home had to be given
up for a new abode. The kitten vas
taken away first, and for hours after
its departure the parrot reiterated the
plaintive cry: where's my kitty? I
want my kittyl" Next day the re-
union took place In the presence of
interested onlookers. The parrot, in
its cage, was mounted on a table, and
when the door Of the room opened
to admit the kitten 1t at once scamp
cred across the carpet and leapt onto
the table. With a chuckle Of delight
the parrot then descended from her
perch, and thereafter the two init
mates kissed each other through the
bars.

MEN ALSO FOND OF GOSSIP
Tongues, Is Assertion Made by
English Feminine Writer.

From time immemorial the word
gossip has been associated with the
feminine gender, writes Rosalie Neish
in the London Standard. 1t is wom-
en- who are supposed to take away
characters, start rumors, and tear rep
utations into shreds. 1t may be true
that women like talking about one
another, and sometimes not over good
naturally, but are men entirely free
from the gossip habit?
What about the club? Are the SUBJ
jects always serious, and do not per-
sonalities form large part of the
conversation? / know a good many
club men, and l have often heard
with amazement what they have said
about one another.
There was time when men were
supposed not only to condemn but ac-
tually to dislike cup of afternoon
tea. Perhaps there was time when
men did not gossip, and the tea and
the talk have become popular togeth-
er. But what about Pepyss diary2
Here were really some choice bits
of gossip! If, however, you do not
believe that men gossip nowadays,
ask one in to tea-we will say bar
rister, for example. Begin to praise
one or two K. C.'s and some of the
judges, and see what he will say
about them; or ask politician what
he thinks of another politician, or a
soldier what he thinks of some of the
generals-you can apply this test to
all the trades and professions.

something which brought the whole
matter back to mind. They were
standing In toward Diamond head and
the Alameda lay hove to taking on the
pilot. 1t was early morning and the
purple mists hung over the entrance

longingly toward the vivid green of
the hills beyond the city, when he was
aware of a put" put" put" to
starboard of the Alameda. Neils
turned at the sound just in time to
see a beautiful gasoline schooner Of
about hundred and thirty tons head
ing in toward the bay. She was so
close that Neils was enabled to make
out that her name was Maggie III.
"Vell. aye be DAM" muttered Neils,
and scratched his head, for the name

when the Alameda lOafed into her
berth at Brewers dock, Nels noticed
that the schooner lay at anchor off the
