Babson Park, Maas., Sept, 8.—^We
hear a lot ot biulvhoo today by brok

about tbe great bp-
portunltiea in the

These tell us about
the big railroad
profits, the new
uses for plastics
and alloys and the
other new products
"which are going
to revolutionise our
way of living."

booed to an unreasonable degree.

should enjoy a few years of good
business, tlie pent-up demand for
goods, the great surplus of money and
other considerations may even lead
to a sharp and short boom. There
certainly will be great activity ^ the

To a oerUin extent, the above also
applies to some professional invest

much about the "opportunities ahead"
without giving sufficient consideration
to the danger signals. ’They do not
remind you of the 9300,000,000,000 of
government debt for fear of the FBI
or FRB or some other govemraescsl

they—like the brokers—lose subscrib

the common trap of talking of the
possibilities of big profits.
It. Is a great mistake to compare
conditions today with those of the
days of World War 1. Under the con

which I am now criticising might be
justified, but investors will find a dif

“good old 20'b." Then the masses

we like-U or not—the people are on

the government waa not in business,
but today the situation la very dif

"FOf IhsTancC the government now

of the metal-working plants and 20

It is time now to think about plant
Ing annual grating crops for grazing
during the month. This ia especially
Important this year due to the short
age of hay crops. By seeding with
oats, rye, wheat, and barley and if
the land has been limed you should
use either crimson clover or hairy
vetch. You can get good grazing from
January to spring. It will also pay
to fertilize the above mixture.
Some farmers bkve gotten excellent

Lime and Cotton
We are a bit late in learning that
.lime beneflts cotton In several ways.
It makes it fruit early. And this is
valuable under weevil conditions.
It makes it mature earlier.
It cuts down the site of the stalk
by inducing early fruit that holds it
down.
And. greatest of all. it increases the
yield.
This has been proven on many
,farms. It. haa .. bean^. .proven at Hic
Clemson Experiment Station where
soil acidity was rigidly controlled
And it has proven in the state cotton
contest. _
The winning fields of cotton have
invariably been those where the pH
was high—meaning low acidity. And
lime doys that.
Now we can go to town with liming
