I J Paper, money doesn't seem to be D tall of germs nowadays because it jldoeaa't circulate as widely. When money stays long in qn? place the ttrms die. So many thousands of farmers are refraining from shipment of their products that the rallroadB are suffering from an acute lack of freight tonnage. But as soon as th? farmers tart shipping there won't be enough cars. At Lumberton the court house was filled to overflowing by advocates of the acreage'reduction movement, but ait Dillon you could have counted those present on the ends of youT fingers. And last year RobeBon made almost twice aa much cotton as Dillon. The more cotton a farmer made last year the more anxious he is foi acreage reduction this year. Th< reason Is apparent: He knows that s normal acreage this year means st'll lower prices for the 1920-21 crops The price of production of farn products differs widely. Much de pends upon the cost of land and ef fic.ent management. Such soil tiller w'io didn't make much when prod nets were bringing fancy prices an wondering if the world is coming t< / i an end.

The legend. I that thenars designed to keep the b peace is a fraud. Battleships and 'r aimies are to fight with, not to in- 1 stigate peace celebrations. a The burdens of taxation are far ^ too great to permit such wasteful ex- s penditures, and Congress might as well realise that the overwhelming 8 sentiment of the people is not merely 8 for a "naval holiday," but complete disarmament among all nations. Then there will be a real guarantee of n peace because the belligerently in- 8 I Inclined nations won't hav* anything Iwiiii wuico 10 oecorae an aggressor u or to back up war-making policies. ' c The speculator propagandist is at 0 work. He is showing himself in the guise of the wolf in sheep's clothing. * He is the man who does not know * how to run a furrow, but who makes his living out of the cotton crop. He is keenly interested in the acreage reduction movement, and reads the * future as glibly as the swarthy fortune teller who has the same story g that fits into Jhe live8 of a thousand c people. There has come out from New York recently thousands of cir-| cular letters from men representing a themselves as the friends of the far-'c mer. They do not urge acreage re- I duction, but they elaborate upon the 8 results of a very substantial reduc- 1 tlon of the cotton acreage this year. j There could be no criticism of these { ' letters if they did not exaggerate the f truth, but that is where the danger E lies. The colors in the word picture they paint of the future of cotton are < s of too vivid a hue. One prognoslica* tor goes on to tell what the result s will be if the May crop report shows : i only 24,000,000 acres planted to cot1 ton. There will be a sensational rise in the price of spots of anywhere t from 8 to 10 cents a pound. The price ] i of manufactured goods will take a - Jump and mills will resume opera- j - tlons on full time. Another says that 1 9 a 50 per cent acreage reduction > - means a cotton famine that will run 9 in to two and possibly three years, 1 5 while the price will reach new high ' levels. And still another says if | there is a 75 per cent reduction, as < advocated by the American Cotton ' Association, the price of the 1921 I s crop will reach undreamed of heights 1 f and the south will be the dictator of ' 9 the cotton goods trade of the world. 1 . All of which sounds very pleasant to ( 3 the ears of cotton producers who see 9 a loss at present prlce8 of at least - $50 in every bale they made last : I I 1 s ffl SI SI HE is sa? ?
