plunged into bankruptcy, once it is
begun.
These two groups probably are
both wrong. 1t does not seem to
us that what is needed is more &C
tual currency, but a more rapid
circulation of the currency already
available. If we read the reports
tof the Treasury correctly, there is
enough gold reserve in the
hands of the Government and the
Federal Reserve Banks, to warrant
the issuing of practically twice as
much currency as is now in Cir
%culation and still remain we'll with
in the limits of what has always
been regarded as the most conserva-
tive finance. Against our four and
ia half billion gold eserve is little
more than five billion of currency
outstanding; yet a forty percent
gold reserve is considered extremely
high.
We do not think that either the
Administration or the Federal Re-
serve Board is so unpatriotic, so
deaf to the distress of the people of
the United States as to withhold its
hand if there were any way of I'M
tried of getting more currency to
the public short of outright gifts.
We think they are working toward
getting money into the hands of the
public, in a dozen different direc-
tons, and they are making progress.
Farmers and many other industries
Ire getting more money for what
they have to sell, more men are
earning wages and immense sums
are being spent for public works
and other enterprises which put
money into circulation. But we do
not regard these normal processes as
Imitation" at least not in any de-
rogatory sense of the word.
As for the rabid anti-inflationists,
who see in every move to make the
dollar cheaper and in terms of COM
modities and services, a threat to the
investments of the creditor class,
we think they have very shaky
ground to stand on. We hope to
see it possible soon for debtors to
pay their debts in dollars that are
no dearer than were the dollars they
borrowed.

Those are examples of the sort
Of work for which the Federal Gov
..rnment is prepared to pay wages
beginning at once. 1t ought not
20 be difficult for any town to
ind plenty of such things to be
done, and so relieve, the calls upon
its people for unemployed relief,
besides getting the unemployed
back into the habit of work.
Bv the time the funds available
for the CWA are exhausted, it is
firmly believed here that the public
works program on a grand scale
will have got into full swing, pro-
vlding employment for millions. 1t
is also the firm conviction that by
next Spring business and industry
IN general will have gained such
momentum that most of the I'M
employment slack will be taken
up by the end of next Summer.
And there is a belief which amounts
TO a certainty in the minds of those
closest to the agricultural problem.
that anything in the nature of dis
tress and suffering among the farm
ers will have vanished before an
other harvest season rolls around.
Meantime. the Civilian Conser-
walton Camps are to be extended
more of them to be established, and
several hundred thousand more
young. men put at forestry work.
This is o than a temporary ex-
pedient, for it is a part Of the Wis
ion of Americas agricultural flu
ture which Secretary Wallace has
dreamed, that every acre Of inferior
and marginal" land On which the
returns from cultivation do not
warrant the cost. is to be returned
to forest. And that will require
the work of hundreds of thousands
Of young foresters, who will be
recruited from among TIL boys
now in the CCC.

"My mother had taken Cardui,
and on seeing my condition she
advised me to try it. I have never
regretted doing SO. I took three
bottles and it built me up. I
gained in weight, my color was
better and the pain left my back.
I am stronger than I had been in

cine which so many women take and

Four Cents Loan
On Cotton Option

An advance of four cents a
pound will be granted cotton pro-
ducers who specified in the acreage
reduction campaign this summer
that they desired options On govern
nent-held cotton as a part Of their
consideration for the reduction.
ITO get this four cents loan, cot
ton growers must agree to take part
in the cotton adjustment plan for
1884 by which the acreage will be
reduced by. 40 per cent in the
South" says Dan 1. o. Schaub of
State College, head of the cotton
reduction movement in this state.
"Those growers who agree to sign
one of the acreage reduction con-
tracts will get the four cents a
pol soon as the nec-
'ess being printed Can
Be distributed Is farm demonstra-
ton agents. The growers will still
hold an equity in the cotton and
should the price advance by the
time the options are sold. the own
ers will get a further ratable pay
ment after necessary expenses are
deducted"
There are some 100000 bales of
cotton involved in the transaction
throughout the South, and about
100000 farmers will participate.
In North Carolina, options are held
on 1O7,355 bales. An advance of
four cents a paound on this cotton
will mean that over two million dol
lars will be available to growers of
the State. Mr.. Schaub says.
He expects the necessary notes
and blanks to be available at an
early date. These will be mailed to
the, growers along with the options,
according to advice from Wash
ington.

ton viii Be the primary customers
for. the output Of those industries.
As an ideal to be aimed at, this
cannot be too highly praised. TAX
ing the lumber industry as an ex-
ample, and the goal of Mr.. Wal
lace's program of reforesting all the
less desirable agricultural land as
having been achieved, what could be
more natural, even inevitable, than
the establishment of local wood
working plants in every reforested
district, to say. nothing of such
other industries as depend upon
wood products for their raw ma
terial, like certain kinds of rayon,
methyl alcohol and other chemical
processes.
Such a program as that will take
time and a lot of it. It ought not
to take so long to get industries es-
tablished in agriculture! regions
where the raw materials are the
product of annual crops, like cot
ton, corn or wheat.
We hope this general idea will be
stimulated and encouraged. 1t
seems at the moment doubtful
whether many of the big indus
tries will regard it as economical tc
manufacture their products in thou
sands of scattered plants; yet. Henry
Ford does just that, and does is sue
cessfully. 1t is time that the
concentration of industry in big
factories in big cities, which began
when steam power was introduced
were done away with. With cleo
trio current universally distributed
it is as easy to operate power mach
inery on the farm as in the city.

of farm distress in such gloomy
c%olors, that the impression prevail
all over the country that all farm
ers are on the verge of losing their
farms through foreclosure proceed
ings and are in a state of practical
beggary.
Nothing could be further from
the truth, as We know and so do
our readers. AS a matter of fact,
according to a thorough study of
the whole debt situation recently
published by the Twentieth Century
Fund, the total farm debt of tn
United States amounts to only
about one-third of the mortgage
debts against city property.
Fully sixty per cent of all farms
are entirely free from mortgages
this survey rports. Of the re
mainder, those which are mortgaged
sixty percent are in the closely
grouped states north of the Ohio
river and east of the Missouri. AND
of those, only about a quarter OF
the debtors. are in anything tina,
can be called distress, or in danger
of losing their homes through fore
closure.
There are 100000 farms ii
the United States. About 3,0OO,-
600 are mortgaged for a quarter Of
their value. Only about 10000
farmers are in acute distress, anc
their total debt is less than one per-
cent of the total internal debts Of
the people of the United States.
1t seems to us that a great dea
of noise has been made about
situation which affects so small a
percentage of Our people. As il
too often the case, we suspect poll.
teal motives behind a great dea.
of the uproar.
Wa are, of course, sorry for any
farmer who is in danger of being
foreclosed. We understand tina,
foreclosures are threatened more
often then they are actually pro-
ceeded with. We also understand
that the Government at Washing
ton is ready to come to the imme-
date aid of any farmer about tc
be d%ispossessed. But we do not
like to have the impression &c,
around that all the farmers are
broke" and that is what many city
