CUT COTTON COST
BY MAKING FOOD
Southern Farm Prosperity Absolutely

Production Cost Through Food
Making And Saving.

Atlanta, Georgia.--(Speciai) The
cotton farmer got his bumps
again in 1921 between boil weevil. un-
favorable seasons, food and grain buy
ing on credit, CON oined with a price
on cotton insufficient to pay him out.
Same old story, the same thing that
has happened three or four times In
the last dozen years." said H. 9.
Hastings, President of the Georgia
Association, an organization for state
wide development.
1--WE might just as well face the
fact that with the world wide finan-
cial and political mix-up in Europe
following the world war, there is no
possible chance for using normal
quantities OF cotton at profitable prices
to us il we continue to grow cotton
on the high cost basis that we have
been doing.
Cotton is the one best money crop
for the South, and probably always
win be. The time Of war prices IS
over and the problem from now on Is
to Tower cost Of production and at the
same time afford the cotton grower 2
fair profit.
sCost' OF making cotton is primarily
the cost OF food, grain and forage
tor the farmer, his family, his labor
ers or tenants, and his work stock.

Is wise enough to know or foresee the

seThe wise farmer In the South VIII
forget the 80 to 40 cent cotton price
that led him to disaster in 1870 ana
figure on a selling price OF around
is cents under conditions OF normal
weld and acreage which we are very
liable to have in 1922. This necessi-
tates reduced cost OF cotton making

"The cost Of cotton or other cash
crop making in the South or any
where else is largely food cost. FOOD
for the farmer and his family, food
in the shape of grain and forage Tor
his working live stock With low prices
for cotton or other cash crop the
farmer cannot afford to pay any out
slider profit or expense on the food
he, his family and working live stock
consume. This means to quit living
off of supply merchants shelves ana
to live off the products OF home acres.
"The situation requires chickens,
hogs. milk cows and acres OF corn,
oats. wheat. forage and miscellane-
GUS crops from which to feed them.
Last but not least, In importance, -
the home vegetable garden which Is
the quickest and cheapest source q

Most folks here In the South don't
taken the home garden seriously and
thereby make great mistake There
are too many Of the lick and q prom

Of the real sure enough kind.

How Mushroom Exerts Force

How is mushroom, SO fragile and
feeble, able to force Its way through
concrete and asphalt? How is It able
to carry up with it huge stones which
have been cemented down? How Is II
that a mushroom can split a stout
brick wall? The mushrooms in a gar
den at Beckenham did this some lit
tie time ago, pushing OUT a block of
brick work and mortar weighing ITO
pounds, though the mushrooms them
selves weighed less than three and
One-half pounds. 1t Is the result of
one of the wonderful forces Of nature
which men can examine and explain
and yet cannot cease to marvel at. BY
Its gentle and continuous pressure, the
growing and expanding mushroom can
lift weights big enough to crush things
q thousand times as strong as ITSELF

New York is renowned for the

This youngster stations himself
at the entrance to the Bronx bor-

Of Crotona park, and waits patiently
about for the appearance of young
couples. As soon Us he spots a cou-
pie he approaches and announces
up one fight" Invariably TIE

two young ladies were introduced
to him.

WONDERFUL PIECE OF WORK
Why the Watch Has Been Called the
Most Delicate Machine That
Can Be Constructed.

1t is said that the watch is the
smallest, most delicate machine thai
was ever constructed Of the same
number of parts. About IT'S differ,
ent pieces of material enter into its
construction, and upward of twenty.
four hundred separate operations are
comprised in its manufacture.
Certain of the facts connected with
its performance are simply incredible,
when considered in total. A black
smith strikes several thousand blows
on his anvil in day, and is glad when
Sunday comes around; but the roller
jewel Of a watch makes every day,
and day after day. $4,000 impacts
against the fork, or 157680,000 blows
in year without stop or rest, or g.
153,600000 in the short space of 20
years.
These figures are beyond the grasp
of our intellects, but the marvel does
not stop here. It has been estimated
that the power that moves the watch
is equivalent to only four times the
force used in a flea's jump; conse-
quently it might be called 4-fiea power.
One horse power would be sufficient
to run 270 million watches.
Now, the balance wheel is moved by
this 4-tlea power one and 43 one-hun-
dredths inches with each vibration
3,558A miles continuously in one
year.
1t doesn't take large can of Oil
to lubricate the machine on it's $500
mile run. 1t requires one-tenth Of a
drop of oil to the entire watch for a
years service. But it has great need
of that one-tenth Of drop.

ALASKAN NATIVES MAKE
USE OF REINDEER HIDE
A new article of commerce is the
reindeer carpet, made by Port
Clarence s(Alaska) natives. The
material used in this unique rug
comes from the Alaskan reindeer
and each carpet, u by IA feet, is
composed Of 900 pieces of the
fur, alternately light and dark,
cut diamond shape and sewed
with sinews. The border, 10
inches wide, is also of the tiny
squares, but nearly black. The
lighter fur pieces are cut from.
the hide Of the under part of the
reindeer, darker gray being that
over the back and TANKS. Fur
cut out of the hide from the head
and neck furnishes the black
squares of the border.
Many reindeer have stone-col-
ored coats, with boards and a
name like buffalo growing down
their breasts. Others are spot
ted, Quaker gray and white, and
the hair is short, soft and very
thick. If the animal is killed in
early fall, the fur is prime, and
will not come out in tufts.
The reindeer rugs sell readily
at 500 each. Four native women
of the Seward Peninsula district
can finish a rug in a week.
The fur carpets when once
laid, especially on waxed floors,
will last indefinitely and may
easily be swept and cleaned.

HUNGARIANS
IN Bic CAME
Play Woodbridge Big Five
on Latter's Court TomOr-
row Night

The Hungarian Catholic Club bas-
ketbalI team will furnish the oppo-
sition to the Woodbridge Big Five
basketball quintet on the wood
bridge High School court tomorrow
night. This is the third home game
for the combination of Manager
Saltzman.
Judging from the showing made
by the Hungarian basketeers against
the Beauvais Post, American Legion
quintet of Tottenville on the Cort-
land street court last Sunday night
an interesting game should be exhlo-
tied tomorrow night.
The Hungarian lineup probably
will be chosen from the Mltruskd
brothers, Winkler, Hornsby, NC
Creery, Kochek and Levay. This IS
the same lineup as was used against
Tottenville in the recent contest, Last
night the H~ungarians played the
South Amboy Terra. Gotta quintet
on the Cortland street court,
Woodbridge will lineup with the
Martin brothers, Mesick, Risley ana
Bob or Ray Handerhan. Manager
Saltzman is DESTROYS of adding the
scalp of the Hungarians to his belt.
The Woodbridge players are ex-
pected to come to this city tonight
to look over the Yorkville Separates
who may be booked to oppose their
team n the Woodbridge court next
week.

C0LLETT| IS
BACK IN TOWN
Opponent is Said to Have In
jured Hand in Training
for Bout

Due to the fact that his opponent.
Mickey Castro, flyweight champion
of Cuba, injured his hand in train
ing, Joe Colletti, local f1yweight box
er, was forced to return to this
country without engaging in a box
ing bout. Colletti and his manager
arrived in this city last night after
having spent about a week in Ha-
vana.
Shortly after their arrival In
Havana they were confronted with
the announcement that Castro had
injured his hand and they readily
agreed to a postponement until to-
morrow. Then it was made known
that Castro would not be able to
enter the ring tomorrow and that
Colletti would not get a boxing en-
gagement for about two weeks.
1t is interesting to note that Col
letti participated in a ring workout
with the bantamweight champion of
Cuba who is to fight frankie Cen
arc on Saturday of this week. In
this workout Colletti came near
knocking out his opponent in the
second round and perhaps this is
the reason for Castre's alibi.
Whether Colletti will go to Ha-
vana again has not been decided but
it is probable that his manager will
engage in booking bouts in this
country entirely.
