Secretary Lane Suggests to
Presbyterian New Era
Conference
MOVE IN DIRECTION
Of THE GOLDEN RULE
I
As a moans of Solving Vital
Problems in Society and
Economics
Lake Geneva, Wis.?Greater ininterest
by the church in social and
economic questions was suggested today
by Franklin K. Lane, secretary of
the interior, in a message to the new
era conference of the Presbyterian
church of the United States of America,
which is discussing a five-year
church program to meet after the war
problems and conditions. These questions,
the secretary of the interior said
he hoped would be studied "neither
from the standpoint of justifying the
conditions which exist nor from the
slandpoint of creating an ideal society."
"The world wants progress," he
said, "and docs not hope for a full
realization of the golden rule today,
but it must move steadily and definitely
in that direction."
Secretary CWno suggested that the
conference appoint committees to
"report authoritatively" on the following
questions: ,
"flow can profit sharing be most
simply and easily effected in industry
?
"pow far should workers he entrusted
with control of managerial
policies ?
"Can not a move be started to remove
large industries and small from
cities into towns and villages where
the workers could have their own
homes?
"How may the social advantages of
the country be provided in the country
?

The condition of the cotton cr ?p ?
v< ry discouraging, he says, and he
does not see how the crop condition
could be estimated at more than >7
per cent. There has been an abnormal
growth of the stalk, but the cotton
has no* fruited, and the boll worm
has worked ha roc in different States.
He advised the farmers to hold. Hi>
statement follows:
At a meeting of the board of directors
of the American Cotton Association
July 14 in Atlanta, I was asked
11, go to Oklahoma and set. up the organization
of the American Cotton
Association on August 10. I started
or. my journey to that State and am
proud to say that my efforts were not
in vain. I found the farmers, bankerr
and business men very much interested
in the organization, and had
no trouble in setting up tbe organization,
and I feel sure that it will oniy
be a short whilo before that great
State will be thoroughly organized.
On my way to Oklahoma, I went by
way of Birmingham, and Memphis,
and from there I went over the Rock
Island railroad to Oklahoma; this
route carried mo through Birmingham,
Ala., Tennessee, Arkansas, into
East Oklahoma. I arranged to travel
this route the whole way in the day
time so I could get a good view of the
crops. Now I will tell you just what
condition I found them in. I found
that each of the above named States
had suffered from the same conditions;
first too much rain, then hot
dry weather. I found that cotton was
sn ail from being drowned out, then
the hot sun had caused it to turn yellow
and stopped the growth and it
was shedding all young fruit. There
lis no possible chance for a top cover.
No crop can stand two extremes and
ever recover so as to make anything

tike a normal crop. "
wniiu in uKianoma Uity, a friend
01 mine took mo out in the country
some 20 miles so as to got a good
view of the/crops. 1, personally examined
a field of cotton which wu*
above the average. I counted the bolls .
Ion 50 stalks. These stalks were the
[best I cculd find and they only averr.;ved
' ix bolls to the stalk, and on a 1
great many of these stalks the youngIci
bolls were very badly sunburnt and.
would never develop into a good boll
of cotton. This field of cotton hail
entirely stopped growing. Not a
fcioom could be seen in the fields. The
g found was literally covered with
squares and young bolls that had
utopped off on account of the dry hot
weather. They had had no rain for
five weeks. The thermometer registered
from 100 to 105, with hot
winds blowing. The grass along side
of the railroad was parched, and
sparks from the murine had fiuspil
the grass to burn. To keep the wheat
ard stubble fields from burning, they
had to plow a strip of land some ten
feet wide so as to save the grain from
burning. In the corn fields, you could
not sec a single green blade. It looked
as if one stalk should catch on
fire the whole field would burn. It
could not possibly make over a half
crop. I met the farmers from the
State of Kansas, and they reported
that the Kansas crops were burned up
and would not make a half crop. The
same reports came from other States
in the West.
On my return home I came back
over another route, leaving Fort
Worth, Texas over the Texas & Pacific
by way of Dallas and Shreveport
and through Louisiana to New
Orleans. As to crop conditions in
Texas, I found that excessive rains
had damaged t.ho r>rr?ri<a vovw krwllir

J and I personally examined a field of
cotton there that the boll weevil had
completely destroyed. This cotton
was as high as my head and only had
about three bolls to the stalk and the
boll worm had destroyed them. There
was not a single bloom in the field
and every square that was large
enough had been punctured. I saw
some farmers from Bu County, Texas,
who said they did not believe that
would be a single bale of cotton ginned
in that county this year. The
weevil had done greater damage this
year than has ever been known. The
farmers of the State of Texas met
last week and they estimated the crop
j condition of Texas at 48 per cent, and

fioin what I could sen I do not think
that thev are very far wrong. One
'king good I can say for Texas is they
have a fine corn crop this year. By :
far the best corn crops I have seen j
lids year, and the best they have j
made in 20 years, as it takes a great j
d? al of rafti to make com in that;
State. This brings me to the State o/ i
Louisiana and their cotton arop is the
poorest thud, has ever been known ih
history, caused bv too much ra n. Also
the same thing can be said of Mississippi
and Alabama.
After summing- up the whole situation,
I do not see how the August 25
condition report can be more thun 57
per cent and the crops are deteriorating
now every day. I want to say i o
the farmers not to be in a harry to
have your first cotton ginned. It will
pay you to keep it in the seed for a
while, and the longer you keep it? the
higher the price will go. We have a
cotton famine, and the world knows it.
I saw an advertisement last week tike
this in the Oklahoma Daily News: A
cotton firm in New York advertised I
that they would pay 33 cents a pound
for 15,000 bales of middling cotton of
the 1919 crop delivered at any compress.
This shows that they have to
have cotton to fill contracts that they
have sold, and they well know that ii
they do not buy cotton before November
1, that it will be very much higher
by that time. I have never seen before
an advertisement like this for
cotton. All you have to do now with
the new crop is to just hold it off the
market and they will beg you for it
and at your price.

DOUBLING THE CORN
YIELD IN DILLON
Clem son College.?Purebred com
means more corn. In other word *,
"blood will tell" in corn as well as :n
animals anl people. That the yieici of
corn can be greatly increased, once
farmers are induced to use purebred
seed; is well illustrated by the experience
of three farmers in Dillon
whom County Agent S. W. Epps induced
to use purebred seed this year.
He reports as follows:
"Visited three of my. demon str;i
tors that I succeeded in getting to
plant pure seed corn. All three men
are well pleased with the seed an I
say it will make considerable more
than any they have ever plantel. Mr.
Z. A. Ellen planted one field in the
pure seed and right near he planted,
another field in his be*t seed. j
