COTTON ACREAGE WILL BE MUCH
INCREASED ACCORDING TO WHAT
MANY FARMERS OF COUNTY CLAIM

That the cotton acreage in Carter
county viii be greatly increased next
season seems certain from reports of
prominent farmers in various sections
or the county, and where most of them
state that growers are not going to
show disposition to run wild on the
cotton crop. they are going to mater
tally increase the acreage over that Of
the season just past.
James Taliaferro OF Lone Grove com
munity. stated that he would increase
his own crop and all of his renters
would do the same.
Mr.. Taliaferro stated he did not like
the idea, but 1t seemed that cotton was
the only thing out of which a farmer
could realize a little cash in the fall.
Cattle, hogs, mules and horses are
worth little to the farmer who has to
sell. 1t Is true that they are costing
the consumer about as much now as
they did during the war, but farmers
are not getting any Of it, therefore for
that reason. they will all plant cotton
another year in greater quantities than
for several years past" Mr.. Taliaferro
said,
Carroll Approves
James Carroll who lives near Brock
expressed about the same sentiment as
Mr. Taliaferro. James and Whit Car
roll are extensive land owners near
Brock, and have operated gin at that
place for a number of years. This year
the acreage was small In that locality,
although fairly good crop was har.
vested, but Mr.. Carroll states that the
acreage will be practically doubled an
other year. as farmers are discouraged
over the price they are offered for
other products of the farm.
Mr.. Taliaferro has just finished har-
vesting a big crop, but he says he can
see not profit In it. If fed to hogs and
sold on the hoof the price is below the
cost OF production. but as he has It on
hand. he is going to dispose of 1t to
the best advantage.
Hope for Better Times
Mr.. Taliaferro is one of the farmers
in the county who has gone into the
sheep business on quite an extensive
scale. but he says that there is no
money In that branch of the livestock
industry now, yet he hopes for better
times ahead.
The acreage in small grain has been
cut in the county on account Of pro.
tracted dry weather. and these acres

H4ASSEN DID NOT
BELIEVE IN BANKS

PONCA CITY, Okla.--Peter Klas-
sen, who lives om farm in central
Grant county, did not believe in banks
year ago. He hid his money under the
flooring uf the second story of his home.
About year ago a thief entered, pried
up the particular board and made away
with Klassen's savings, amounting 10
$1,000. Evidently the fellow who got
the money believed that Klassen would
continue to deposit his cash in the same
race for another attempt TO rob him
was made last night. The same board
was taken up but there was no money,
for Klassen had changed banks in the
meantime The thief entered over Klas-
sens front porch.

THOMAS WATSON

When Thomas Watson OF Geor-
gia died, there passed from the
American scene OF action one OF
those discordant elements which,
while largely al variance with the
things that are, is an ever present
stimulant TO thought and action.
Thomas Watson was a fiery
petrol, a man whose radical thought
along certain lines aroused whole
communities into thinking. Such
men are irritants on the body
polite, but they have large place
in national affairs Without them
the nation would stagnate.
Thomas Watson was not 4 CON
structiye radical, yet he opened up
new trails OF action in this country
which will carry on and on long
after he is dead.
His was picturesque character,
he was an inspiring fighter and
one who called for his opponents
best steel.
The country will miss him, just
as it misses any other man OF out
standing iconolclastic tendencies,
Such men keep the national mind
awake.

GREEN REVOLUTION

For generations the farmer has
been content to plug along, ac-
cepting the empty flattery OF why
politicians, being made the hero
of poetry and song but receiving a
comparatively meager proportion OF
the exchange OF the land. He has
played only nominal part IN poll
tics, being to busy providing the
world with something to eat and
wear to indulge in economic up
heavals.
Perhaps he would have been
willing to go on and on forever at
this rate, had not the organization
OF those groups above him into
political and economic machines
reached such a point that he was
being crushed entirely out OF a
legitimate existance.
But the worm is turning The
farmer OF the world is waking up.
The giant is arousing himself.
