RY GEORGE r. HUGHES,
Installment Buying.

Concern has been ma infested in GER
tain quarters over the growth of the
habit of buying on the installment
plan. This. it is declared. fosters ex-
travaganCe and might easily lead to
disaster. not only to the seller but
to the buyer. The story has been
going the rounds of a Missouri farmer
who paid cash for an automobile. but
gave his note for a tractor. The
criticism is not SO much that he
bought the passenger car outright as
that he did this while he was deferring
payment on the tractor.
Whether or not it is wise to buy
on the installment plan depends not
so much upon what is bought as upon
the use to which the thing purchased
is to be put. 1t may we'll have been
that this farmer chose exactly the
right course. The tractor was a pro.
ductive agricultural implement and
might be expected to increase his
profits. If so he was justified in bor-
rowing the money to pay for it. as
every business man does. Banks
exist to loan money for capital uses.
Probably the automobile for which
he paid cash was also productive In
a different way. AT any rate, when

STEADY GAINS MADE
IN FIGHTING WEEVIL
Fears That Country Will Be Un-
able to Supply Cotton Needs
Held Unwarranted

Fears of some "alarmists" that this
country ultimately will be unable to
supply its own cotton requireme ents
because of the boil weevil are ''un-
warranted" the Department of Agri-
culture declares.
Observing that the weevil invaded
the country nearly 80 years ago and
a result has placed cotton produc-
tion permanently on a more costly
basis, the department said "availa BILE
control methods afford hope of hold
ing the pest in check"
Meantime" it added, Judging by
their performances up to the present,
other countries that have been
prompted by our difficulties to ex-
pand their cotton acreage are not
likely to make any large additions
to the worlds cotton supply for
many years.
I'm 1921 the estimated damage by
the weevil to the American crop
amounted to 30.9S per cent. In the
following year the damage dropped
to 2417 per cent and in 1923 to 1905
per cent. Figures for 1924 are not
yet available, but it is expected they
will prove to be even smaller than
those for preceding years"

that there was no provision in 1t FOR
