Probably the reason the brokers
never sit down is that seats on the
New York Stock exchange cost more
than $300,000.

It’s odd that Bi>r Business doesn’t
recruit a few pugilists since every
body knows Big Business needs men
with a Punch.
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. From which it would
appear that thr*re is something funda
mentally wrong with agriculture as A
whole.
v
There seems to be some complaint
because the freight on Western hay

has been raised several dollars a ton.
We agree, howevor, with The Dillon
Herald, which takes* the position that
it should be $10 a ton, which figure

Record Plowed Furrow.
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

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

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. As
in schemes have* been ady^ncod Yor
cutting the growing lawlessness - as
t/fie have been reasons brought Jofr
waimto explain it /
That there is a gr^at deal off law-
lersness i n t his /tAintry^nobody can
deny. 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. \

Many Uses for Flaxseed

Flaxseed is grown primarily for tlie
production of linseed oil, each short

gallons of oil, which is used in the
manufacture of paints and varnish,
