This Il America

If man from some distant planet
were to visit our southland and
watch Negroes blowing up fair pro-
portion of the cotton crop as they
now are doing, we should be hard
put to it to give him an adequate
explanation.
To the answer that we have too
much cotton he might inquire about
the benefits of having plenty Of this
fiber and If the people generally
have too many cotton garments.
All Of us know the answer to that.
Even the most hypocritical individual
knows that there are not enough
cotton stockings to properly cover the
feet Of American children; not
enough cotton garments to restock
depleted wardrobes. Yet we are
taking cotton out Of existence as an
answer to the problem of over-pro-
duction.
At the time 1t seems to be the one
effective thing we can do to re-
store some sort of balance between
production and consumption and
thereby increase the price so the cot
ton farmer will have more money to
purchase other things.
But the incident illustrates clearly
how inadequate man has been in
dealing with problems of his own
creation; how imperfect Is this solu-
ton to a pressing dilemma.
It would be far simpler to let the
cotton mature and store it in the
warehouse, then take a nice long va
cation next year. But our society is
SO organized that so logical a thing
would not work.
Joseph's advice to the Egyptians to
store up the harvest Of fat years in
preparation for the lean would have
small effect in the wheat or cotton
futures market.

The Magic Cure

(NeW 4OrK WOrld-Telegram)
Now come the humble tropical fish
in q curative battalion assaulting the
ramparts Of skin disease. and the
Aquarium has become a lay shrine
for people afflicted with diseases
which medicine has been unable to
master for them.
A month ago stories were published
IN the newspapers telling of the dis
covery Of a bacteriophage in tanks
occupied by tropical fish-a germ
killer which had cured maladies of
the skin. A hundred and fifty-two
persons stormed the ramparts Of the
place where once Jenny Lind charmed
the multitude, seeking the magic wa
ter cure that would charm away the
pestilence upon their bodies.
The Aquarium authorities made It
clear that they were not operating a
clinic, though some of the seekers
after the cure were treated expert
mentally, while the water was SUD-
piled certain hospitals for experiment
tai uses. But the afflicted have con-
tlnued to come and to plead for help
by every form of human communica-
ton, some Offering $l,o00-any sum
for cure, one threatening to kidnap
the scientist to compel him to rescue
him from the sores which tore his
spirit as the sores tore the spirit of
Job.
G. M. BREEDER, Jr., assistant curato,
OF the Aquarium, first studied the
bactertophage In 1881 upon discover.
Ing that water which normally woulo
have become polluted by germs was
constantly pure-tropical fish swim

work with him, noticed that some
small infections on his hands cured
rapidly. The experiments proceeded
until the announcement which fin.

but left after four more days. Three
weeks later he still complained Of
weakness, sweating, vertigo on change

and constant sense Of pressure under

(Here it is fair to saw that an in

the mans disability. That may &C
count for some Of the symptoms that
persisted.
The man was in good health four
months later, but he said he was un-
able to go into a greenhouse where
the nicotine spray was being used
without suffering immediate nausea.
The man, by the way, has long
smoked and still enjoys five or six
pipefuls daily.

case arbitrarily asserts that the nico-

Big Parade


The nation has seen no more i'm
portant parade than that which now
Is going forward throughout the
length and breadth Of our land.
It is a little difficult to get pic
ture OF it because those taking part
do not appear in mass formation, but
every man who tucks a lunch box
under his arm and starts off to work
is part Of it.
The man who has long been idle
and who finds himself a job consti-
tutes one-man parade of vast i'm
portance. It means, like enough,
that he Is back on his own feet
again and bidding the relief rolls
goodby. He has again come into the
-rightful heritage of an American
citizen.
This development is Of vast I'M
portance to us out here on the farms
for it means that the power to pur-
chase bread, meat, vegetables, milk,
butter, eggs, poultry and other. prod
ucts Is being restored, thereby i'm
proving the market. It means that
we will share in this upward swing
as the markets have amply proved in
recent weeks.
There is no really logical reason why
we should not have industrial pros
perity and agricultural prosperity
side by side. In fact, If we are to
have either we must have both. There
Is no room for jealousy between the
city man and the farmer. If we are
to go places and do things we must
all pull together.

The Time to Kick

Writing on the Wall

preparing to turn over some of its
land loans to the new federal credit
agencies, 1t seems that the hand
writing is appearing on the wall for
this political venture into financial
salvation.
AS bank this institution has made
money. It could not fail to do so,
barring the most gross incompetence
or downright dishonesty in its man
agement. With all the deposits of
the state and from many other gov
ernmental subdivisions, it need only
reduce the interest rate, invest the
money In bonds and clip the cou-
pons.
Except for the land loaning de-
partment the Bank OF North Dakota
is simply an agent for the state
treasurer and for other treasurers
throughout the state in caring for
public money.
But the land loaning business has
been q big one. We have invested
nearly $40,0o0,0oo Of the peoples
money in it, making loans on some
$4,000 farms.
The taxpayer has had to foot q
rather impressive bill as result, and
the benefits to the borrower have
not always been beyond question.
But we have the experience and 1t
may prove worth the price II we
profit by it.
What the loss in the land loan de-
partment Of the bank eventually will
be cannot now be determined but
that it will be heavy even the most
optimistic admit. Several millions in
tax money already have gone into
it and millions more are to follow.
How many depends on the future
policy of the state.
We have now splendid opportu-
nifty to ease a part Of the load which
the bank is carrying by transferring
some Of these loans to the federal
credit set-up.
We have, at the same time, no good
reason for remaining In this bust
ness. The competition OF the federal
government Is too keen. Lower in
terest rates and longer time for
amortization offered by the credit
administration make it necessary for
the Bank of North Dakota to meet
these terms or 60 out Of business.
The correct answer will save the
people OF this state lot of money
The wrong answer will prove costly.
There Is the possibility, Of course,
that the federal government will lose
money on its land loan enterprise,
just as the Bank of North Dakota
has, but that is a national and not
a state problem. There is no good
reason why, as long as these facili-
ties are being offered, the people OF
this state should not make fullest
use OF them.
One thing and one alone gives
hope that the federal government
will escape the red ink balances
which have marked our own efforts
in this field. This is the unusually
low price of land at the present time
The probability is that the federal
agencies will do a good deal Of their
business on rising market, whereas
the Bank Of North Dakota has car.
ried on In the face Of a constant de.
cline In land values.
Call 1t an unlucky star or what 70,
will, these are the facts and we might
as well face them.
Also. we might as well accept thi.
opportunity to retire the state from
the land loan business with tn
proper gratitude which such financia
mamma deserves from a people wan
der'ng in credit wilderness.
