MORE BALES ON LESS
ACRES SAYS OUSLEY
Boil Weevil Control Association
Direction Pleads With Farm
ers Not To Commit Folly

NEW ORLEANS, La, March II.
Maintenance of the supremacy Of
the United States in the cotton
world and the prosperity of thu
South depends on whether or not it
becomes fixed in the minds of every
cotton growing community that the
boil weevil can and must be con
trolled, according to Clarence Gus
ley,former assistant secretary of
agriculture and now director of the
National Boil Weevil Control AS
ISOLATION.
eve. are about to commit our
usual cotton folly by planting an
acreage that will further depress
present prices by encouraging the
mills to wait for larger and cheap
err supply" said Mr.. Ousley. 81
have been a student of this problem
for thirty years and it seems that
we are painfully slow in coming to
an understanding of the very simple
economic laws that govern the cot
ton growing industry. We now face
a situation which will bring pros
perity or adversely accordingly as
we are wise or unwise.
81 believe the world will pay a
good price for a big cotton crop,
but the best way to produce a prof
table crop is by more cotton to the
acre, not more acres to cotton" Nj.
Ousley continued. "There is no
profit even in thirty-cent cotton on
the average acre yield of last year.
There will be profit even in twenty
cent cotton on the acre yield that
is easily possible by good seel,
proper planting, close cultivation
and weevil control"
Without community effort by
business influences and concert of
farmers, the scientific methods of
control will not come into general
practice within generation, and by
the time other countries will have
engaged so extensively in cotton
production on cheap labor cost
That our industry will fall before
competition which we cannot
meet on a decent standard of liv-
ing"

The magical wooden hobby horse carried the Raggedys and the little Tat Captain upon his back lickety split through the woods, for he knew that as soon as 1t became day light, the fierce Brigands would discover that the Raggedys and the Captain had escaped and would fol- low them.
 So the wooden hobby horse jump ed as fast and as far as he could and ran until his wooden feet went "Lickety- click" over the stones and hard dirt. The Raggedys and the little fat captain knew that the treasure up- on the island was hidden upon Watch Tower Hill" and the Bri- gands also knew this too, for they had taken the map away from the Captain, but none of our friends or the Brigands knew where Watch Tower Hilr' was, for there were no signs to be found pointing to the place.
 And that is why, when turning bend In the road lickety split, the wooden hobby horse jumped smack dab into 8 mud puddle and stayed there.
 Cant you mover" Rsggedy Ann asked the wooden hobby horse when they stopped.
 Nope" the wooden hobby horse replied."I can't move a single foot v
 Then we must get down and lift the hobby horse out of the mud puddle"" the little Captain said as he jumped to his knees in the mud puddle
 Well, I'll declare" he cried when his feet went "Splawshi' Its as cold as ice" But he lifted the hobby horse, Raggedys and all and carried them to the side of the mud puddle. We will hurry on just as soon as I wipe the mud from my shoes" the Captain said, "I do. not wish to get mud all over the nice hobby horse,"
 So the Captain pulled some grass and wiped the mud from his shoes while Rsggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy cleaned the wooden feet of the hobby horse.
 The moment the Rasgedys started 10 wipe the mud from the feet Of the hobby horse, they gave cry of delight. "Whee!" they both yelled together.
 Why do you Faggedys cry, Vince ?" the Captain asked.
 Instead of answering, the Rag gsdys ra7 ts the mud puddle and

scooped up q handful of the mud and began eating it.
 My goodness gracious. Raggedys Ann and Raggedy Andy!' the little Captain cried. You must be very, very hungry to eat mud from mud puddle!"
 "Ha, ha, hal" Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy laughed. Just you taste it. Captain" they replied. And you will see just how good this mud puddle is"
 The little Captain did not wish to try it at first, but after awhile he took some of the Mud" upon the end of his finger and tasted it, then a wide smile spread over his round, kindly face and he laughed, "Why! It isn't a mud puddle at all" he cried. No wonder you both cried, Wheel It's chocolate ice cream" And he not only scooped up a hand full for himself. but he found a big leaf from atree and scooped up q lot of the lovely chocolate ice cream for the magical hobby horse.

But an old friend of mine who also had the bad taste to count you a friend, is coming on visit, and I'm not going to spoil things by having her suspect we're not on friendly terms"

 T would be sorry," continued mother, as she put her arms about Alice and drew her to herself-be- cause, she. too, had seen a different person than we had known lately q would be sorry" she repeated, ''if because my daughters have had the sanction of the church and state and are honorably married, they Would think they need do nothing in return for the luxury and leisure with which their husbands surround them.
 T have no respect TOT such a woman, Alice, either in England or the United States. I consider them ss great menace to Society-al- though perhaps in a different way as the poor woman of the streets from whom they would draw away their skirts in scorn."
 Alice looked as much surprised as l felt when we heard mother say these things. She had never voiced such opinions to us before. In my heart there was also great thanksgiving, for I felt that moth- CT was not going to let her sorrow selfshly keep her from the world, and that we were going to take a great deal of comfort with her in the future.
 Alice must have thought some thing of the same sort, for she said quite awesomely: "Mother dear, you ought to say all these things to the Eomen's clubs"
 Mother smiled as though it amused her greatly. It was the first smjle of amusement I had seen up- on her lips since father died.
 "No, my child" she answered, "What little could say would not do much good. You see, they would not understand. The masses never understand.

 I wonder, little Msrquise, if you realize that that was why the king loved you. F or I know from that letter that you wrote me that you had understanding.
