r r ' - ? I fhr Stllon Sjeralb SlUSCSUFTION - 92.50 Per Y.. 1 Villon, B. C., January 20, 1021 Harding's projected cabinet is get-1 ting more attention than the League of Nations. The railroads of the country have i laid off 10CL000 men. Before they got the last raise they told the gov-j eminent , that they needed the men ,1 ? ? toon wages was one reason wnv freight rates were too low. Tt.e United States stands to lose nothing if the chief powers agree to disarm their navies. A naval race between nations costs tyilliohs of dol -1 lars and provokes war, wluch costs billions more and niany lives. Wilson vetoed the farmers' aid bill largely because he is no longer running for office; and Congress repassed it over hiB veto largely because a majority of its members hope to i run for office continuously. AS TO ACREAGE REWCTION. ^f, til the beginning of the year,' i the manufacturer bought a year's i ; supply .of raw materials and the price declined before he could con-| vort it into the manufactured prod-| uct and dispose of it at a profit, Inwould be financially embarrassed. But the manufacturer does not do business that way. He buys in limited quantities, and if the price declm-s to a point below the cost of production he operates his establishment on half time or closes down until he is able to dispose of his product at a profit. In this respect the manufacturer J has the advantage of the producer of aw materials. In the spring of the year the far-( nit-r prepares his land for a certain number of acre.s of cotton. He pro-. ? Y-ides for a certain number of tenants or laborers to cultivate and gather his crop. He buys his fcrtllu-: cr before the seed are placed in the ground. He has a certain number of ^ mules or horses on his place to do! the plowing and hauling. He has all his eggs in one basket, The tenants and laborers must be | taken care of for 12 months. He has'i paid out bis hard cash for fertilizers ' and i hey must be used. Tile mules '| and horses must be fed. He iK tied r hand and foot for the next 12 months. j [ If the priee of cotton declines lie'r fa helpless; he must take his loss. ' Unlike tlie manufacturer, he cannot [ curtail production; he cannot - run r or. half time with reduced expenses until the price or his product vances. He is at the mercy of the r world. When harvesting time comes L he must dispose of his cotton, even ? \ ?f the price is greatly below tbe cost r production. L jt 'Is slated on good authority that [< is enough raw cotton on hand p to supply the world's needs for more'f; tban 12 months. Warehouses In th?*'r Unite,| States and England are bulg-j'ing with manufactured goods for|Q which there is no market. ThP pro-!p dnction of manufactured cotton'l goods during the month of Decern-jH ber was only 50 per cent of normal. _ if 75 per cent of a crop is made thisjl^ year the average price will be low. , H The situation is In the hands of the *; farmer. It is in his power to make a f million or a sixteen million bale r r crop. It he plants for a six million !* bale crop the effect on the price ol [ cotton now on hand will he Imme-jr . diate, and there is every reason to L believe that this year's croj> will com-if niand a fair price. On the other hand Jr tf be idants for a large crop there is t bound to be a further decline in the ' ?pric?? of tl?e 1020 crop and this year's; $ "erop will sell below the cost lof pro. > duct ion. ; ; I The farmer cannot curtail his . ' Jr.^creage after the May crop report is ! published. He has made his plans for , i it the) year and he cannot change theni.l, ? Experts arG agreed that if the May j! ^crop report even shows a normal >| ^acreage ror i:?zt tnere will be a still j, . urther decline In the price of the 920 crop. The acreage reduction movement is i^eading throughout the cotton belt. ^tTTp individual farmer is beginning v to realize that it is the only way he 5^can save himself from disaster. The ^movement has taken a firm lipid in WDillon county and there will be a ( i substantial reduction in this county this year. I It is a matter of such great importance that it should have the individual support of every man in the county. Men of all classes and professions should be urged to attend the meetings that will be held l throughout the county this week and next week. rtlllnn /<n.inf? 1~ not > - 1. I I. - I I j'iiivu i vuut/ 10 uwi inning inr irau In the movement. II is merely join, tg bands with several thousand oth?er cotton producing counties in a determined effort to bring the production of cotton within the bounds of reason, and at the same time remedy a situation which threatens to deal a vital blow to the future prosperity of the south.
