Let's Plan for Prosperity

Hasn shines, and the thermometer in

and eggs do not freeze.
/ suppose many of you lost eggs
and young chickens by the cold
weather that we have just expert
enced. It was awful. and came with
sss much buster, but as l said to
tina FARMER, there is seldom anything
that couldn't be worse. The clouds
exhausted themselves the week be-
fore the rain. Many people had
killed hogs and some were almost
tempted to sit in the smokehouse
and fan the meat. Then came a
wind that verged on a regular storm
and then the mercury dropped.
There are few box flowers in this
part Of the country. except those in
sream-heated houses. Some put
lamps in their pits and even then
failed to save them. With fires

had much to be thankful for:
ally the bitter weather comes
.eeh rain or snow, then the people
who must be out in it contract colds
and pneumonia or flu is the result.
Cattle in the country are not as well
cared for as humanity demands, and
I rejoice that this time they were
not taking the rain as we'll as the
cold. The stock law has been here
just a year and that has been q
help. People who have expected
owners of pastures TO feed their
stock all winter for nothing have
made other arrangements, and WIN
ter rye. oats, wheat and clover are
utilized.
One of the things that we have en-.
joyed has been the seed catalogue.
The Farmer has studied seed corn
and soy beans. He has good seed
corn, but almost every year he gets
new variety and usually does very
well with it. He wants a small cob,
and his neighbor wants to feel some
sthing in his hand" So they order at
the same time, one the big cob sort
the other the small cob and neither
gets very much disappointed over
their new sorts. But next time they
order they simply change the name,
not the variety. No matter what The
Farmer orders, or plants there is
patch of Hickory King anad some
Golden Bantam in the garden. These
two are planted the same day 1t

In fertilizing cotton under condi.

and zoo pounds of the potash should
be mixed together and put under

Unless Conditions Are

News service.)
CLEVELAND, May SAN era of
declining business is in store for
the United States unless certain
abnormal worldwide conditions are
speedily rectified. Edward A. FiIene,
president Of William Filene Sons
Company, of Boston, Mass, de-
clared in an interview for Cosmo-
politan News Service today. Mr..
Filene forecast this depression as
early as last January and declares
1t will be accentuated after the
election.
The purse strings of credit and
the control of money rates, he said,
are in the hands of those who favor
the return of a Republican Presi.
dent to power and for that reason
there will be no sudden falling off
in business. After the election,
wages will not decline as much as
In previous periods of depression.
Mr.. F1lene sounded a, warning
against the influx of uneducated,
unframed Mexicans into the United
States. which. he maintains, will,
if unchecked. nullify the effects Of
the immigration laws now under
, consideration and likely to be adopt
ed by Congress.
Taking the theoretical factors in.
volved, the outlook is for decreas-
ing business and less Of good
times" Mr.. Filene declared. There
will be no serious depression or
even serious decline in business
until after election. or until the be.
ginning of the New Year. There
may be temporary jolts which no
man can foretell.
IF the symptoms of bad bust.
ness grow to be too alarming
there Will come a reduction Of in
terest rates that will counteract
| the tendency to bad business by
making money cheaper, thereby in.
duclng greater use of credit AMI
| flation.
This will come about naturally
because the men who have the
power to reduce rates, for the mos
part believe the country is safer
under a Republican President AMI
knows that the Republican Presi.
I dent cannot be elected If the bust
ness OF the country is bad at cleo.
ton time If a large part of thu
people are out Of employment or
suffering business reverses.
One OF the reasons for the tend.
ency to less and poorer business
is the fact that we are approaching
the point wnere the needs of the
United States repressed or sup
pressed on account of the war are
approaching fulfillmnt.
This, however. is not the CHEZ
reason why predict poorer bust
ness in the future. The MAR
cause is the fact that on accoup,
or european conditions we canno
export our SURPRISES to Europe
Almost every country in Europ.
is striving to buy nothing, or as
| little as possible, and to expor,
everything, or as much as possible.
and in order to accomplish this
have established high tariffs, EN-
bargoes and other barbados agains,
