Food prices are not likely to be lower, and there is no reason why corn should be an exception to the rule. As a matter of fact, corn becomes a money crop, or may he so considered. Prospects are even for higher prices for corn. The world situation seems to give the price of corn a certain stability. On the other hand, cotton prices are more or leRs uncertain and speculative, as was shown by the recent big decline.

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF LEADING FARMER8. Why should women vote? That la .ne question that is ringing from ocean to ocean and reverberating from j ih3 Canadian boundary to the Maxl- ! can bolder. It is the mission of a 1 newpaper to give the news and the action of the Texas Farmers' Union in opposing woman's suffrage when that question was recently before the Texas legislature is significant as representing the attitude of the or ganized plowmen. We reproduce In I'm i inw urgnmeni presented oy lion W. D. l^wis. president of the Texae Farmers' Union, in opposing the bill: "It is gratifying to note that it is not the farmer's wife who is clamoring for the ballot. She is too busy trying to make happier homos, molding the minds of future citizens and sharing with her husband the cares of life to indulge in political gossip. The ballot will give her no relief from ! drudgery, give no assistance in cloth| lng the children or bring to the home 1 additional comforts, conveniences or opportunities In life. It is, as a rule, the city woman promoted to idleness by prosperity, who is leading the suffragette movement. "V"rom many standpoints, perhaps rE woman has as much right to vote qr a man. So has she as much right to plow as a man; she has as much right to work in a factory as a man; she has as much right to shoulder a musket as a man. but we would rather she would not do so from choice tihd we regret that necessity oft times compels her to earn a living by engaging in gainful occupations. V\> do not consider misfortune a qualification for suffrage or a business accident a reason for granting franchise.

We had rather see her plant flowers than sow wheat ; Rather bouquets than pick cotton and rear children than raise political issues, although she may have as much right to do one as the other. Opposed to Unscxlng Humanity. "Sex qualification for suffrage mr.y have its apparent inconsistencies Xo general rule adjusts itself perfectly to all conditions. It is a favorite argument advanced by the proponents of I woman's suffrage that many cultivated and noble women are far more capable of intelligently exercising sovereignty than a worthless negro, but the South never was anxious for negro suffrage, and while culture and I refinement, and even morality nr? desirable virtues, they are not the only tpialiftcations for franchise. "The primary, inherent and inscpI arable fitness for suffrage is supporti ing a family. The plow handle, the forge and the struggle for broad afford evierience necessary to properly mark the ballot. Government ip ?. great big business and civilization from the very beginning assigned 1 woman the home and man the business affairs of life. "There has be< p. much freakish legislation enacted during the past decade that no doubt anpenls to woman's love for the ridiculous, but to undertake to nnsrx die human race by law is the height of legislative folly and a tragedy to mankind. "We are opposed to the erpml rights of woman we want her to ever remain our superior. We consider woman's desire to seek man's level the yellow peril of Twentieth Century civilizat ion.

DEHORNING CATTLE SIMPLE OPERATION Also Easy When Performed on Calves 4 to 10 Days O.d. Dehorning cattle is almost univcr| ally practiced by stockmen who I raise high-grade steers. Cattle with I out horns, says a publication of the j United States Department of AgriI culture, are easier to,handle, have |an equal chance at the feed trough i ... i. - - - I ?lu'ii placed in the feed lots, are less I dangerous to attendants, and are more uniform in appearance. Also, they can not gore one another in the feed lot or in transit to market, i which causes greater shrinkage in 1 weight, injures the skin for eommer| eial purposes, and leaves the flesh in j a bruised condition, thus detracting . from its value. \ Simple Method. M'hile there are many ( ruel wavs of performing this operation, according to ih< Department of Agriculture. one of the simplest and easiest methods is to us< caustic, either soda or potash, on the undeveloped horns the ah.? >. To obtain best rej dts .the caustic should be applied .vi. iin* cm i is I rom 4 to 10 days eld. Clip the hair from around the i knobs who 1*0 the horns am dovoloping. \\ ith a slightly niehstemed sti.dc ! of caustic, rub cm h horn alternately three or four times, allowing it to dry each time before applying the next. Kxtreme care should be taken not to have the stick so wed that the solution from it will run elown the ! K of the calf's houel. To pmvent th.e spread of the caustic, which v. ill . use sores em the skin, apply vase" ie around the edge where the haie has been clipped.
