Noise in New' York City is estimat ed to cost $6,000,00 a year, and think how much that amount would buy if spent carefully ’Sfunny, but while an effort is being made in this section to get the farmers a way from cotton, there is a movement on foot down in Beaufort County to A induce the truck farmers to grow the fleecy staple.

Reduce the Surplus. The People-Sentinel is again calling attention to the fact tfiat the farmers .themselves can halp boost -the price-of- cotton by insisting upon the use of cotton bagging in the preparation of their crop for market and thus use up a quarter of a milliorV bales or more each year that sorve to depress the market. The writer was talking Fri day to R. R. Moore, who, in addition to other activities, operates a ginnery, at Snelling. He stated that it would require about nine pounds of cotton bagging to “wrap up” a bale of cot ton. On this basis, a little more than 225,000 bales would have been used for the 1927 crop. The 1926 crop would havti consumed about 350,000 bales. It is safe tb estimate, therefore, that an* average of about 275,000 a year could be used if placed on every bale ginned in the cotton belt,. Hester estimates the carry-over at about seven and a half million bales. Had cotton bag ging been used the past ten years, the world’s supply of American cotton at the beginning of the present cotton year would havu been less than four million bales. Who thinks fqr one minute that any part of the, recent short crop would havb sold for less than 20 cents a pound with such i\ small surplus? The cost for cotton bagging would be very little more than for jute, and even if it cost a dollar a bale or two dollars a bale more it would pay the Southern farmer to use* it. * Senator Rans.dell, of Louisiana, promised to introduce » bill in Cop- gress to place a tariff on jute. Re\ gardless of whether or not this is done cotton bagging should he used. The movement must have a start Last fall an Arkansas farmer plow- ed an unbroken furrow a mile long -fHHpfrtraight a« A| wilr. -if paper”—so he reported it to his local newspaper and thereby started some thing. An Oklahbman soon announced that he had plowed a furrow a mile longer than the Arkansan's; but his-record didn’t^ stand very long. A Kansas farm hand came to the front with a furrow that beat the Oklahoma far*, mer’s by more than half‘ fl mile. Then another Kansan, produced wit nesses to support his assertion that he had ^plowed an unkroken furrow of five miles which, he declared, was “the longest on record in the United States.” But someone in Washington looked into the records. It was discovered that George De Cow, a Government land locatingtigenf arMoado, Kansas^ somewhere. Why Barnw<d. 1 Cqunty, ? not right here Debt Owed Government. Business owes a debt to govtfi arhent in the United States today. Once it was not uncommon for boys of ex ceptional promise to turn a matter of course to a political/career. But today promising youngsters are more’ Bkely to seek the fame and fortune that come with yuccess in business than to heed thy call of public offiejo. A number of reasons may be ad vanced to explain the trend of brains to busines*4 The larger financial re ward js undoubtedly one of the chief i\<asons,* and another is the lower es teem in which public officials are helti, with the “good old days” in is case as the basis of comparison. Recently it appears that business has been repaying, in some measure, its debt to government. Some men prominent in the business world have sought public office. Some* of them have been turned down by the voters. Others have been elected. But these - 7 ' V ' * men have sought public office after they had achieved success in business. Ifc^ould be more to the point if some way: were found of turning men of ability toward offices of public trust r^er in their careers. , / in the summer qf 1885, had plowed an unbroken furrow sixty miles long. It was necessaiy to establish a public road between Meade and Ulysee. Be tween the two towns stretched level prarie land. Mr. De Cow hitched a plow behind a wagon and “with the aid of a compass a bee line was made to Ulyses and an unbroken furrow plow ed all tho way, a distance of. sixty miles.” Mr. De Cow’s sixty-mile fur row will probably be an all-time record. Crime and Punishment. Our system of punishing/6riminals has been very much undor/nre of late. Some would abolish capital punish ment. Others .claim pur prisons breed crime instead of suppressing it. The attackers of the/present system of punishment poynt out that crime is veiy definitely on the incnfafin- in America. /Indeed, they refer to figures yt prove that we are "the nost Jawless nation on earth.

It seems equally plain that the one chief reasoh for Tt is that punish ment in too many cases is neither swift nor certain. Any reform of our system*"of punishing criminals that xlofianot strikeVt this tvil will -be -in effectual. Obviously, society either to cure or‘get rid off men who menace its peacu \and security. If such men know beyond all 'question they will be punished without'delay, they may be deterred f\om crime; If they are not, they merit punishment and-.should get it in proportion to the degree of their crime. \ Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M.
