The Statistical Position of
Cotton.

SOtCON.
Statisticians, sometimes known as
"Figure Hounds" manage to find
more or less pleasure in adding, sub
tracing and multiplying, and by conf
pairing results, prove almost any prop
osition that may be presented. And,
who can. successfully take issue WITH
their conclusions and deductions, un-
less it be some other statistician who
has motive for proving the con-
trary. To most persons, figures are
confusing, and for that reason az
pear to be as conclusive as the state
ment that "Any given point is the
center of the surrounding territory"
Recently the Department of Agri-
culture issued the official figures on
the consumption of cottonothus far
this year; the amount of carry-over
and the size of the stocks now III
sight. This report was the cue fo:
the cotton statisticians to appear on
the stage in the playlet. entitled "NoW
you see it and now you don't"
1t has been conclusively proven
that there will be a cotton famine be-
fore the end of 1923, also that there
is enough cotton to supply the worlds
demand until the new crop is on the
market.
1t is strange that Statistical Po-
sition" did not display its strength
until cotton planting time. Last fall,
when the Government issued the fl
nal ginners' report showing produc-
tion of less thar 100000 bales, and
followed with report showing an in
creasing consumption of American
cotton, there was mighty little said
about how strong Statistical Posi-
tion" really was. True few friends
of cotton, and few more who
thought the staple good buy, called
attention to the great strength Of
"Statistical Position" but there was
not enough of them to form even
fair sized audience, and this myste-
rious person refused to perform. AS
a matter of fact, there were too
many farmers waiting to see the
show, and preferring to display his
strength to select crowd of specu-
lators, the act was postponed until
the "Rubes" were too busy planting
the new crop to appear at the box
Office.
Cotton farmers will be obliged to
spend all their available time work
ing this summer, but they may ex-
tract some enjoyment about the feats
of strength performed by Statistical
Position" just as they read the base
ball scores, hoping all the time that
he will not expend all of his energy
before the new crop is ready for the
market.
While it is comforting to cotton
! farmers to know that the vast sur
plus is being consumed and that
there will probably be a fair demand
for the new crop, his best bet is in
producing as much good cotton to the
acre as possible, and doing it as
cheaply as conditions will permit
Farm and Ranch.

Remarkable Endorsement of
Prohibition.

Whether one is in favor of prohl-
bition as now enforced in America, or
opposed thereto, or would go to the
middle ground of beer and light
wines, one must be concerned in the
remarkable pamphlet on the subject
just issued by the Baltimore Manu-
facturers Record.
The pamphlet is, as is stated for IT.,
is the most important publication
ever issued in this or any other coun-
try on prohibition. To sound the best
thought of the country on the prohl-
bition as an economic and moral fac
tor in advancing the cause of human
ity the Record opened correspondence
with hundreds of leading men of af-
fairs-manufacturers of iron, steel,
cotton and other products; with bank
ers, lawyers, College professors and
University officers. They were asked
their views and if they had changed
their views, and were invited to write,
at length, in reply, if they desired

Russia Is Getting Ready
For Expectation Of Grain

MOSCOW. Dec 2S.-Export OF
Russian grain by use of foreign CAPT
tai was advocated in report to the
central executive committee of So
viets-workme and peasants parli-
ment-at rs last sitting in this city
The linking up of the rural econ
omy of Russia with foreign mar
kets is looked upon by Soviet Off
cials as a means of bringing into
the country foreign capital which
would help in the re-esta Adjustment
Of both agriculture and industry.
This years harvest of grain has
yielded ,4700O,O0o tons, which is
about 100000 tons more than last
year, and 2O,O00,000 tons less than
the pre-war production. Allowing
100000 tons for sowing purposes,
28,000,000 tons for the needs of the
peasants, and some 100000 tons
for the needs of the towns, there is
a balance of over 100000 tons, the
greater part of which, according to
the report. could be used for export.
In pre-war times Russia exported
yearly over 100000 tons of grain,
or Is per cent Of her production.
Since then the sowing area has d.
unfinished from 222.750000 acres in
1918 to 135,000,000 acres in 1922,
while the number of livestock has
fallen materially.

NEW YORK, Dec 23.-Nine babies
are abandoned every day in New

Mary E. Hamilton, an investigator

Gates footprinting of youngsters as a
means of identifying them.
Nine deserted or murdered babies
are reported to our office every
day." Mrs. Hamilton said New York
is the mecca for small-town scandal
victims, and you can't blame the
mothers, for no one will take in a
mother with a baby in her arms.
And what can she do if she is starv-
ings?"
Mrs. Hamilton said the number OF
abandoned babies would diminish II
