Bad Weather Likely
to Affect All
Golf Scores

The bad weather this spring
is likely to leave it's mark on
the quality of golf this summer.
While the greens on many Of
the courses are in good condi-
ton, the fairways are not in as
good shape as in other seasons
at this time Of year, and oppor-
tunities for practice have been
curtailed. Usually in the middle
of May many of the leading
amateurs have considerable golf
behind them. On some of the
courses winter rules are still in
force through the fairways.

He looked so good, in fact, that
he almost ruined party that was

The Surrender

Can it be possible' Another
Armistice Day. Six years since
the last shot was fred in the
World War. The quicksands of
time swallow rapidly.
You can burn a forest to the
ground. Come back next year,
green saplings are rising from
the ashes. One generation, as
man measures it, and you d
never know there had been
FIRE.
So with the World War. Re
covery-rebuilding = were in
evitable. They have, however,
proceeded faster than even the
optimistic hoped. Most of US
feared that Europe would be a
desolation for years and years.
Instead, we find the destroyed
already rebuilt amazingly close
to pre-war conditions. Youth
is growing into MANHOOD. ne
loss in man-power is rapidly be-
ing replaced.
One thing will last for gen
erations-debt. And, with it,
high taxes. Monuments to the
hideous futility of war.
AS for the war itself, sixty
Armistice Days rather than six
must pass before the world will
know the real effects of the con-
flict on white civilization. This
one thing at least is certain -
Europe is infinitely farther from
a resumption of hostilities than
on Nov. a year ago.

Take Care of Cotton
Seed

In spite of adverse weather
conditions throughout much of
the growing season quite a num-
Der of farmers have made larger
yields of cotton than expected.
The long rainy season caused
considerable damage to both
lint and Seed, after which, be-
cause of scarcity Of labor, much
of the cotton remained unpicked
in the field. Under these con
ditions the farmer should use
every effort to prevent loss by
further lowering grades through
neglect
Cotton has been and still is
one of our most abused farm
crops, particularly after the crop
has been made, by exposure to
weather, etc. There seems no
good reason why, after making
a crop, the owner should allow
himself to suffer certain loss
through neglect.
The agronomists advise that
the seed should receive special
attention in the matter of keep
ing dry and avoiding heating
which lessons their value for all
uses, particularly for planting.
Southern farmers especially
suffer too many preventable
losses, usually borne by those
least able to endure them.

EXPORTED

What's our country't leading ex-
port? Guess again. First place goes
to textiles, including everything
from raw cotton to fiini.red clothes.
Oil ranks second.
Theoretically, by reason of our
enormous extent of land, farm
products should make up the bulk
of our exports. Countries of snail
area and dense population ara 10y
nature adapted for exporting fin
ished products. Are we pulling.
against the tide in concetrating on
manufactured rather than agricul-
tural exports? Our unbalanced eco
nomic system looks like it.

A Solution for Every
Problem

you'll pick up a newspaper and
read the announcement: Unit
ed States now has so million
population" In 1874, the fig
ure will have risen to 200 mil
lions. So predicts experts.
Even then there wouldn't be
any real over-crowding.
The soil of our country can
support a population Of 800
millions without any more de
mand upon imported food than
exists now, according to De-
partment of Agriculture.
Some optimists even claim
that Texas could grow enough
food to feed the whole world.
Any one who has travelled ex-
tensiyely in Texas is not likely
to pick a quarrel over this claim.
These figures are especially
interesting / ;causc scientists
lately have been having a recur-
renee of the 'over-population"
fear that makes economists wear
long faces periodically.
This time, however, they are
twanging a different string.
There's not as much concern
about adequate food supply for
the future as there used to be.
What the scientists fear now is
rather a shortage of industrial
power.
But when the crisis rises,
there's always some one to step
forward and solve it.
Scientific agriculture - in
creasing the food yield of an
acre-has been mans answer to
the problem of increased food
supply for larger population.
And power sources will be ex-
banded and new ones opened
up when needed. We still have
the tides to harness for power,
and the winds and falling water
OF rivers, not to mention sun
light now wasted and the ter
rifle power locked up in the
atom.
Why is the population in
creasing SO rapidly, not counting
gains by immigration, inasmuch
as big families are no longer the
ruler
The answer to this is that
medical science has cut down
the death rate among the young.
The ravages of disease are be-
ing curbed in maturity as we'll as
youth, further increasing the
population.
In the year 1880 the world
had only $50 million inhabi-
tants, Since then the population
has doubled. Professor Ross
estimates that in the year 1923
the world will have three and
a half times as many people as
now
Race suicide" is mythology
ical evil, doesn't exist at all,
from a broad world viewpoint.
The day may come when all
habitable parts of the earth will
be as overcrowded as China.
But well all be gone and for
gotten by then. And the over
crowding problem will be solv-
ed some way, is a pretty safe
bet.
AS for the present. and
America is particular, our farm
ers would be grateful for more
mouths to feed with their sur
plus products.
The individual need not wor-
ry about depopulating the earth,
as did Colonel Roosevelt, when
he was preaching his race sui
eide theory. What we need now
is not LARGER families, but
BETTER families. Intelligent
human beings will slove each
world problem as it comes up.
