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.
ARMIES AND NAVIES.

A conservative estimate of th<
"expenditure of the leading ntHnni n
the-world (or armies and navies thii
year pets the sum at $6,500,000,000
This sum of money is entirely to<
much for peace purposes. Some of th<

money to waste on hdfn armaments a
while betas unable to pay the in- J1
terest on their debta contracted dur- tl
in# the late war. ii
Worst of all. these expenditures o
will provoke another war, as it is e
history that armaments always pre- 1
voke wars sooner or later. 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

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 :
