COTTON VALUES BEING
DEPRESSED BY BEARS
Turner & Co. Say SpecuIatosr Arc
Responsible For Low Values
Expect Active Market

NEW YORK, April 26.-Turner &
Co., in their weekly cotton forecast
today declare "The cotton market is
just one blankety-blank thing after
another. " Continuing, their letter
says;
Mark Twain once said, Differ
ences of opinion make horse racing
It seems to US that this is also true
of the cotton market. Six weeks ago
the vast majority honestly believed
that cotton was beaded for thirty
five cents. 1t had all the ear-marks
of going there, too. But there must
have been some powerful good selling
going on quietly right then. Now,
since prices are down well over 300
points, the majority are seemingly
of the belief that cotton is on greas-
ed skids and going to the bow-wows
proper. We venture the prediction
that in this instance the majority are
again wrong But remember it is
differences of opinion. that make
prices jump up and down.
at is useless to deny the truth!
Last weeks break was purely specu-
lative and actual values had nothing
to do with the decline. Cotton is
worth just as much now as it was
six weeks ago. The value still ex-
lists. The Waldorf crowd'-a shrewd
and financially powerful combination
of professional speculators-fgured
out that too many cotton contracts
were in weak hands, so they took adj
vantage of the governments injunc-
ton against the New York Coffee and
Sugar Xchange and bounced upon the
cotton market Gket duck on a June

Increase in acreage, forecasting the
very largest total acreage in all his
tory, helped along the decline. This
Waldorf crowd covered bought
last Friday, Saturday and today, and
almost before any one realizes it,
prices will be way back up to very
much higher level

Scrub Cows in Banner State

good reasons for that claim from the

Local breeding clubs. Guernsey
and Holstein organizations are among
the remedies. When there is neigh

Reached

Tie monthly review of business
conditions By the Alexander Hamil-
ton institute says;
Many business men, after cropping
two years for convincing evidence OF
business improvement. are suddenly
changing their attitude and are be-
ginning to consider whether trade ac-
tiVity is increasing too rapidly to last
very long
Iron production is only small
fraction below the highest rate on
record but iron prices have increased
from $50 to $50 a ton. The cotton
crop is larger than a year ago, but
the price has risen from II to 30 cents
a pound. Yellow pine has risen from
S24 to s37sper thousand feet. Even
in tie copper industry prices have at
last begun to advance despite poor
foreign markets because domestic
prosperity is becoming pronounced.
The increase in sugar prices from
2 to 3 cents per pound is putting Cuba
and other tropical islands on their

from IA cents to 80 cents per pound

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
By Dan Shaffer. Counts Agent
More and Better Potatoes to the

Acre
Some Of the farmers in the county
are anxious to get a quantity of seed
potatoes this spring for use in get
ting started with good producing.
disease free, pure seed. We will
never have a better year to get
started with good seed. Certified
seed is selling at a reasonable price
this year, in fact so reasonable that
we cannot afford to plant our own
inferior seed. Now is the time to
order before the choice stock is all
sold, We must not discontinue
raising potatoes even if the price was
rather low this last season but in
stead we must plant a normal acre
age and try to produce a better stock
than we have in the past Quality
products always command the
money, whether it be potatoes or
manufactured goods. The farmer
who has quality produce can usually
sell at a profit.
We are not advising what each
individual farmer should buy, but we
ought to confine our efforts to
about two varieties, either the Rural
New Yorker or the Green Mountain.
A carload of mixed stock never sells
as well as carload Of one variety
and as a rule the round white stock
commands the better price. For
early planting the Irish Cobbler
does very well, although we cannot
expect large yield we can expect
early table stock if we plant few
Cobblers.
The county agents office will
have the prices Of the various
potatoes in CARROTS and less than car
lots in a few days. Are we to con-
tinue planting our inferior, diseas-
ed scrub stock or are we going to
start 1923 with good, disease free,
certified seed potatoes.
There is no other crop grown on
the American Continent, whose yield
and quality so accurately reflects
the caliber of the grower, as do
potatoes.
The yield and the quality Of our
potatoes are an indication of the
brains and effort we put into the
growing Of them.
We can have small potatoes or big
potatoes.
We can have Inobby potatoes or
smooth potatoes.
We can have diseased potatoes or
| clean, healthy potatoes.
We can eat from our own field
good, mealy potatoes or soggy,
green potatoes.
It's up to US.
Show me the kind of potatoes you
put into storage or on your table,
and will know the kind of a man
you are"
p. G. Holden.
To grow big crop of potatoes we
must have
i. A well drained fertile soil.
=. A deep seed bed.
3. Seed free from disease.
4. Seed improved by selection.
5. Seed free from sprouting until
planted
6. Seed that is treated for disease.
Z Thorough cultivation.
g. Thorough spraying for bugs and
blight.
3. A proper rotation of crops.

Modern science, biological, sociol,

cords which deal with anthropogenesis
namely, that man, when he becomes a
thinking being, began to misuse his
creative force and as instinct receded
and free will began to manifest in
the individual the sex function was
degraded into mere means of graf
ification of the senses and overused
thru countless millenia. In this way
