MR. COKEK ON COTTON.
Clemson College, S. C.P Feb. 10.?
In his report as a member of the
American Agricultural Commission
which visited Europe last fall to
study agriculiural conditions, Mr.
Davd R. Coker, of Hartsville, has
the following to say concerning the
status of cotton. It should prove to
j. be interesting reading.
"Well posted experts al?o are con

of textile fibers will exceed the sup.
ply for several years. This appears
to me to be even more evident than
that there will be food scarcity after
1919. The supply of America cotton
in Liverpool when our commission
sailed was about 100,000 bales,
of which only 10,000 were unsold.
Mill buyers were actively looking
<r*3r the market for cotton sul able
for certain purposes, and were buying
from one to five-bale lots wherever
they could find them. As soon
as transportation can be found a
large amount of cotton should be
forwarded to Liverpool, Manchester,
and other foreign ports, not only to
be available for the immedaite needs
of the Alied countrcis, but to be on
hand there for export to the Central
Empires as soon as they are a luwcd
to handle our raw materials.
"While I believe the laws of supply
and demand will operate to re

profitable basis for several
years, I think it would be advisable
for the production in the cotton belt
Oi a nple food stuffs (includirg live
stock) for home conrumption. I
be'ieve the present price at which
cotton is sell ng i3 much too low.
Th.s opinion is based on the theory
that the war is about to end; that
tit re is an accumulated deficiency
of textiles in practically evety country
of the wcr d; that the .past three
crops have on.y been approximately
equal to the decreased spinning capacity
caused by the w.r, and that
lack of potash and 1 bor foreshadows
another shoit crop in 1019.
"The immediate future of the cotton
industry of the United States
will depend very largely on the
transportation situation throughout
the world. Nothing can be more important
than ample o.e.m tonnage

A Worthy Institution.
We have just received a folder
from the Economy Home, for the
motherless child, Kings Creek, 9. C.,
setting forth the planr. of a campaign
to raise $25,000 for the purpose of
enlarging the Home. The home uas
chartered last fall by the State of
South Caro'ma as an eleemosynary
Institution, the Trustees having purchased
the Piedmont Springs property,
not far southwest oi Kings Mountain
Battle ground, N. C,. two miit..
east of Kings Creek, S. C. They secured
Rev. .. H. Spaulding as General
Manager.
Mr. Spaulding has been conducting
a private Home of this kind at Patterson
Springs, N. C. He claims the
distinction of being the first man in
the Carolinas to start a home for the
Motherless child.
We all agree with him in saying
* ' tlir nooHpf]
that sucn a uuluc ? ?
Just now. He says that he has applications
from West Virginia to Georgia,
and that his greatest need is
more room. They have their own
electric light plant, but only six cottages.
Mr Spaulding asked us to say to
our readers that already eleven banks
together with a number of goob business
men are cooperating in this
campaign. It will be appreciated by
the trustees and friends of the home
if some of our readers will assist in
this great work. We are glad to commend
this and all similar institutions
to our people.
NOTICE.

TOP DRESSING TALKS
NO. 2
For years past Southern farmers have known that top
dressing pays. Truck crops and fall sown crops, especially
demand in the spring a top dressing containing quick'
acting nitrogen.
Many of the most progressive farmers apply a top
dressing to all crops, even cotton and com, and it has unquestionably
been a profitable investment.
, The best nitrogenous top dressing, and the only drillqble on? is
