Cotton Replaces Corn rs Crop of Discomfort

KANSAS City Starr
The farm problem is stationary. When
yields good and prices satisfactory, agitation
Err the bettermcnt Of agriculture loses its appeal
Three years ago wheat farmers were in distress,
two years ago hog producers were complaining, last
year corn growers in revolt. Failure to fini
a profitable market for the commodity produced
followed several years in which prices of cotton had
been satisfactory and production increased It is
human nature to increase production when profits
arc satisfactory.
The area devoted tc cotton has been expanded
from year to year. In 1926 nearly 48 million acres
will be picked. The estimated yield is more than
Is million bales. There is heavy carryover from
last year, which is taken into consideration by buy
ers in establishing prices. The result CT this in
creased production is dissatisfaction the part of
those who have brought it about.
Governor Whitfield Of Mississippi, following the
precedent established by Governor Hanlnil Of Iowa,
has called conference. Such meetings arc worth
while. They bring out suggestions for the solution
of the farmers troubles. They may develop tom
porary farm leaders whose influence is unfavorabc
to the cause. Such leaders who make their appeal
to class hatred sectionalism partisan politics will
finally be replaced by those Of sober and construc-
tive IDEAS The agitator his purpose by call
ing attention to the farmers problems. Solution
will fail t. those whose method of reasoning and
intimate knowledge Of the causes of problems unfit
them to make appeal through the usual channels.

No Home Work

A college in Florida has abolished the one hour
lecture and recitation period with its accompanying
out the classroom study, and is substituting
hour period where the professor and the student
meet together for individual study and conference.
We think that this is a very wise move and
pioneers general change in school work. Outside
study, alone be truly efficient as study
in contact with an instructor. There has been 4
leaning toward too much "homc work" in primary
and secondary schools Of late years The burden Is
becoming too much on many students and it is not
the most desirable arrangement. Perhaps this new
idea will work out better. J
