MORE COTTON

The southern states have planted
37,791,O40 acres to cotton this year
and if the crop averages as good as
last years it means 11,110,6ss
bales next fall. That isn't enough.
In the past IL months the world
has consumed considerably moro
than 10000, 900 bales of cotton,
and by August 1, when the 1923
crop begins to reach the market,
the surplus stocks accumulated in
past seasons will all be gone. The
short crops Of 1921 and 1922 have
left the manufacturers without a
reserve on which to draw.
But the crop this year should av-
erage far better to the acre than
last aso The past winter was
a hard one for weevils and the biz
Yards of late February killed off
the pest by millions Methods of
cultivation have been improved,
too, and the use of insecticides of
many kinds is spreading throughout
the South. The cotton that has
been planted stands an unusually
good canoe this time. A 12,0o0,-
ooo-bale crop is absolutely neces-
sary for the worlds needs. A A.
600 ,oo0-bale crop could readily be
marketed.
The South promises to be fairly
well-to-do next winter.

WAR DESTRUCTION

If the United States had been In
vaded and despoiled rs France was
by Germany in 1914, to the same
extent, and in the same proportion
to u size, wealth and population,
it would mean the devastation Of
nearly everything in the area east
Of a Ifne drawn from Erie, Pa, to
Charleston, s. C.
That area would take in part OF
South Carolina, most of North Car
DINA and Virginia. Maryland, part
Of West Virginia, all but q marrow
strip of Pennsylvania, the whole of
New York state and New England.
In that rea every mine, every
mill, every industry of every kind,
every home, would have been abso-
lutely destroyed. It would mean
terrific industrial. economic and
agricultural destruction, with indi-
vidual suffering in proportion.
Such a picture, described by an
authority on coal mining who has
recently completed a professional
examination Of the French war
zone, brings home to Americans
the completeness of French distress
better than a detailed enumeration
of French losses. Seven devastated
departments mean less to US than
devastated New England, New
York, and 80 on.
Such pictures may do more harm
than good If they are presented and
studied for the purpose of tanning
war hatreds and inspiring revenge.
It is well, however, to give them
occasional serious thought and TO
recognize them as the inevitable re-
suits OF war. Why should it hap

Forest Fires Fewer

Shoshone and Big Horn national
forests in the state of Wyoming en-
brace an area of almost -four and one

that in recent ear the cost of FIRE
suppression and fire damage has been
reduced to comparatively low figures.
In 1913 there were forty-six forest
fires. covering an area of national

damage of S66 and costing 1888. In
1913 there were So fires. burning an
area of 12,450 acres, damaging to the

247. In. 1920 there were lis fires.
burning over 266 acres. doing dam

1921 the number of fires fell TO 6s,

PHOTOGRAPHERS M
SPOOKS

A reputable photographer and
editor of American Photography
confessed at the international
Photographic Exposition that he
could not explain all spirit photo
graphs" materially; but no had
been experimenting and never had
been able to get a psychic impress
sion upon a plate not previously
doctored.
There is one difficulty with pho
Biography as a means Of testing spir-
itism; the process ear be inter.
rupted In its several stages. The
plate may be defective and I'M
evenly covered by its film; It may
be exposed two or three times with
various effects; it may be devel-
oped to bring out false lights, even
false forms. Then in the printing
the sensitive paper may be exposed
in q number of ways SO as to alter
the original image. Even the ster-
eoscopic camera. which takes two
independent pictures at the same
moment from slightly different po-
sitions, al be used in producing
fakes, as the amateurs Of the art
of Photographic f~alsifications we'll
know.
A number Of photographers, both
professional and amateur, have
thus explained the possible origin
Of spirit pictures. The camera has
many ways Of cheating the hope of
solving the problems of spiritual
manifestations by means Of a me-

key should then be thrown away
beyond recall
A wicked state Of mind Is his
definition for "old age" as dreaded
by persons who ought to know bet
ter. He points out that present
day knowledge Of health laws, pre-
venttve medicine, sanitation and
hygiene could pretty much dc
AWAY with the state Of mind which
contributes most Of all to it.
Statistics show that the number
of deaths per hundred thousand
population ascribed to old age ir
the registration area Of the United
States In 1920 was 40 per cent lesl
than IN 1910.
In 1920 there were nearly So,

vital statistics nre accurately re
corded. OF these, 21,s13 were
over 80 years Of age, about 1,5oC
being over 100 years.
