Though Uncle .Iess Hembree may

reproduced below was written it is
a part of the last poem that he
brought to the office of the Neshoba

fore he became Ill. 1t was tine last
verse Of what he called a "Tramp's
Soliloquy", and he no doubt wrote
into 1t something OF his own heart.
THE TRAMP'S SOLILQUY
When soon shall pass
From this old world, Alas!
May no bitter thought In my breast
May no bitter thought OF wrongs ]

Untouched by remorse.
And ride to the home of the blest.

REDUCED ACREAGE PLEAD FOR
IN ELOQUENT LETTER

A year ago this fertile and poten
TALLY prosperous region, the cotton
South, was forced to curtail cotton
acreage In order to avert disaster.
Today we are facing IL new condi.
tiOn, but one that is none the lees
difficult. The South is again on trial.
IL will choose bet tween the highway
that leads to a splendid destiny, and
that revertiDg to the terrifying con-
dItion existent a year ago.
IA aEotton beckoned to Alexander the
Great to cross the Indus. and Alex
aAder influenced civilization perhaps
more than any other one man with
the exception OF Christ: Venice was
once pre-eminent among the cities OF
the Earth-Venice. the merchant, tra-
ding in the cotton goods and calicoes
and fine muslins OF India; cotton in-
spired the Industrial Revolution,
which made England a giant among
nations and drove Napoleon from
the blood-soaked fields of Europe to
die a lonely exile at st. Helena. Cot
ton was the strength Of the Saracen
In Spain, an incentive to Christopher
Columbus, sailing westward, and to
Vasco da CANA, doubling the Cape
Of Good Hope In search of a route to
the East Indies. Cotton was food
and clothing for the living, the
wings OF the air-plane and dressing
for wounds-benevole to friends
and the fallen foe, but belching de-
struction upon the adversary-in the
Great War. Cotton made the World
War possible, II indeed the war itself
was not the direct out come OF COM
mercial iealousies growing out OF
the cotton trade.
Graded In India, cotton weaves d
tangled thread OF romance and trag-
edy through the Ages. Since the
days OF Rome, where cotton manu-
facture redominated there was en-
throned world mastery. 'It has
built up peoples and has riven them
apart. 1t has brought the world
vast and permanent wealth. 1t has
enlisted the vision OF statesmen, the
genius OF Investors, the courage oi
pioneers, the forcefulness OF manu-
facturers, the initiative OF merchants
and shipbuilders and the patient toll
OF many Millions. Cotton has been
called the Fabric Of Civilization but
cotton has always been pauper,
produced In drudgery and want,
and under the baneful influences of
economic slavery. Why? Too many
cowless, sowless and henless farms
too much reliance upon one crop,
and a wretched credit system.
All enlightened opinion, friendly to
the cotton grower, is agreed that a
new crop OF more than 10000, 200
bales Of cotton would be extremely
J zardous. The acreage planted last
spring was enough for a crop Of more
than l0.0OO,0 900 bales, under average
conditions.
The Southern Cotton Conference
In convention at Memphis, December
1918 issued a solemn warning; "Do
Not Increase Your Cotton Acreagel'
The future welfare of millions o
men, women and children, and In.
deed the very existence OF many ol
our institutions and ideals depend
upon the answer. What do you say?
Very truly yours,
Cotton Acreage Committee

STATE WHEAT IS
LOW IN AVE RAGE
CROP CONDITION
AguIe Department Gives Reports
Covering Various Sections; Mois-
turc Needed Ahead Of
Hard Freezes.

Oklahoma City Jan. 1.-The condi'
tion of winter wheat In Oklahoma
on December 1, 81 percent OF normal,
was the lowest recorded In a great
many years and 22 points below the
average for the United States. The
condition of the crop In Kansas was
60 percent. In Texas AZ percent, in
New Mexico 60 percent. In Montana
So percent, but the other states re-
ported fair to very good conditions,
says the department of agriculture.
The acreage sown prior to Decem-
ber is estimated at 80 percent OF
last years or 3.550.00O acres; the
greatest reduction is noted In the
west, southwest and south. The re-
vised acreage for 1920 Is placed at
S,99i,000 acres. The acreage for the
United States is df,293,000 acres, 90
per cent of that sown in the fall of
1920.
On December | the average of
winter wheat in Oklahoma was SO
cents bushel; on Dec. /, 1920, 1t
was $135. Kansas reported an aver
age price Of SO cents and the
United States as whole 92.2
cents.
in the fall of 1920 the conditions
in Oklahoma were similar to those
of the past several months, and on
December of that year the whea.
crop was but So percent of normal
resulting in the very low average
yield of bushels per acre. 1t is
probable that not much more than
one.half of the wheat sown during
the fall had come up by December
and considerable percentage of
that sown late has not sprouted
yet. In those instances where the
land was plowed early and sown
early, the crop is still IN fair con-
dition, but 1t is poor where sowl
late or in stiff land. Sowing still
continues and more land will be put
In II rain or snow come soon.
Should rain or snow come before
the cold January weather sets in
much OF the wheat can still make
q fair crop, but a hard freeze now
would most likely do great injury
The roots are short and few caus-
ing it to pull out easily where at
tempts to pasture are made.
The growing condition of the crop
on Dec. l, by districts, is as fol
lows:
Northwest 45 percent; West 4G
percent; Southwest 80 percent;
North 66 percent; Center 55 per-
cent; South as percent; Northeast
70 percent; East So percent; South
east 70 percent.
