HOE, CLHEES lOSSSS.
And unless time shall come when
the fiber fetches price out of all rea-
son with relation to the costs on the
sverage farm, these discrepancies
must, in the very nature of things,
continue,
Il is likewise unquestionable that
there are many cotton growers who
ought to seek other occupations.
Cost Depends ora Grades
It is 20 be remembered that costs
Of production, unless they are con-
sidered in their relation to the grades
produced, are far from reliable. be-
cause cotton prices are invariably con-
.ldered in the terms of ''middling," and
more Of She crop is, as a rule, below
taat grade than above it.
Senator Ellison D. Smith, of South
Carolina, is the watchdog of the cot
lon-growing interests in the Senate, a
cotton planter and one of the first
sctiye workers in the movement to
organize the cotton growers at the
tine cotton was selling for cents.
In letter he summarizes the present
situation thus: Increased cost of fer
iilizsr per acre, increased cost of labor
Pc, ecre, one-fourth normal return in
production per acre. Therefore every
hing else being equal save the pro
duetion, you would have under present
tonditions In the South Atlantic States
ase.fourth the assets to meet the liza
slisies that you had heretofore. The
@ly deduction from the cost would
10 the lesser expense in gathering and
PREPARING for market the one-fourth. -
Another practical cotton producer
Is former Senator John L. McLaurin.
sho cultivates roo acres in Marlboro
County, S. C. Before the advent of
:as boil weevil this was the banner
county Of the cotton belt, averaging
veil over bale TO the acre. The SEN
aior writes that taking into considera-
non every legitimate charge against
DIS last years crop the cost averaged
zsA cents pound of lint cotton.
Writing in January this year, j. S.
Wannamaker, president of the Ameri-
eau Cotton Association, which is the
cotton farmers organization, put the
cost OF the cotton crop of the previous
year at 81 cents pound.
The same gentleman, who can al
ways De depended upon to be on the
Top side with any cost figures he pub
fishes, presented figures to the 1919
World Cotton Conference which gave
the cost on a one-plow farm at 40A
cents. On that occasion he also pre-
sented figures prepared by W. W. Nor
rson which showed the cost on another
one-plew farm to be a fraction over
q cents pound. In the course Of
me same address Mr.. Wannamaker bit
pefly attacked a statement that had
reen made few months previously by
RANDALL N. Durfee, chairman of the
cotton buying committee of the Ma
nonal Association of Cotton Manu-
.setursrs, to the effect that middling
eotion could be produced and sold

K. p. Lodge Holds Big Meeting.

Nearly two hundred X. P.'s assem-
bled in Culton Memorial hall Monday,
Jan. 5, at 7:30, to witness the putting
on of the rank of Page under the direc-
ton of Edgerton Lodge No. 146, as
sisted by the Damon and Pythias
Friendship dramatic team from Beloit.
This meeting was one of the largest
gatherings of X. Prs ever held in our
city, and even its oldest members say
that the spirit of Pythianism was never
more demonstrated than on this occa-
sion. The local lodge team did splen-
did piece of work and the dramatiza-
ton by the Beloit members was excel
lently rendered.
The Beloit crowd numbered about
eighty and this was increased by twenty
more from Evansville and Clinton.
During the interim the famous Dokey
Octette of Beloit entertained with va
rious types of musical renderings. This
octette was the same one that became
famous at the national Dokey meeting
held in Chattanooga, Tenn, last sum-
mer and is scheduled for the Portland,
Ore, meeting FOR the summer of 1923.
After the ceremonials had been COM
pleted all repaired TO the local lodge
Castle Hall where bounteous banquet
prepared by twenty of the ladies, wives
of the members of Edgerton lodge, was
ready to serve. Tables had been set in
the anticipation of the two hundred.
All were seated at Ii o'clock.
After the banquet an hour of mu-
steal entertainment was rendered by
the Beloit Octette. At IL o'clock Grand
Lecturer Libby was called upon and he
gave an excellent address on the life of
Ed Gottrey, who had been Grand Lodge
secretary and one of the leading Pyth-
ians of the state for years. Speeches
were also given by Gilman of Evans
vile, Perrigo of Beloit, Wineger of
Clinton and Harvey Raymond of Ed
gerton.
After this all joined in singing This
Is the End of Perfect Day"
This meeting was one Of the best
ever held in the city of Edgerton, and
brought together many Of the Pythian
Knights who had not been together in
Castle Hall for some months. 1t
brought into this Hall the class of
Pages, fourteen in number, who had
been initiated into the rank earlier in
the evening. All of the Pythians will
remember this day as gala day in the
history of K. of p No. 146 and as a
fitting recognition of the great work of
Ed Gottrey.
