The Farm Board's Warning.
f/k-
Southern cotton farmers cannot af
ford to turn a deaf ear to the warning
of the Farm Relief Board, which was
issued last week, a synopsis of which
appeared in this paper. Aside from
the fact that the board has issued an
ultimatum that farmers need not think
for a moment that a price of around
16 cents per pound will be maintained
by advances to cooperatives, there is
much food for thought in the compari
son made between the monetary value
of large and small cotton crops. The
dispatch from Washington contained
the following terse statements:
“In no event, Teague said, would the
farm board guarantee a price level for
* crop in advance of planting.
“The board based its warning on its
statement that last year’s cotton acre
age was too large. It was the largest
planted acreage of any year in history,
except 1925 and 1926. Nothing but
crop failure in Texa.* in 1929, the
board said, prevented a total yield of
16,000,000 bales—more American cot
ton than the world would take at a
fair price.
Food and Feed Stressed.
“‘Large cotton crops/ the board
said, ‘sell for less than small ones.
Ten million bales in 1923 sold for $1,-
600,000,000. Eighteen million bales in
1926 sold for less than $1,000,000,009;
that is, farmers picked and ginned
eight million bales of cotton in 1926,
gave them to the world free of charge
and, in effect, paid $600,000,000 for the
privilege.
“ ‘If Southern farmers should raise
their own food and feed and in addi
tion raise, so far as the climate and
soil would let them, the 'food that
Southern city people eat, there would
be small danger of any cotton surplus
or of an unprofitable price.’
“The board recommended that
Southern farmers plant no cotton next
spring until they first had provided
acres enough for a reasonable supply
of food and feed; that no land be
planted to cotton which had not pro
duced at least one-third of a bale per
acre on the average for tha last five
years.
“While no suggestions were offered
on wheat or other surplus-producing
commodities sided by * the board,
Taagoe said the board would insist
that the acreage be held to previous
rages at iaaft,”
ft does seem that hard, common
pel a reduction in the
this year, after it has
tore
been shown so clearly that a ten mil
lion bale crop » worth more than half
a billion dollars more than an 18 mil
lion bale crop. What folly for the
farmers to over-produce and then yell
their heads off for government aid,
when they have the solution of the
whole matter in their own hands!
What a pity that some method can
not be devised to limit the number of
acres per plow and the number of
plows under the ownership anjd man
agement of one man! If that problem
could be solved (granting that the bulk
of the farmers themselves haven’t
sense enough to heed the farm board’s
warning and act on their own initia
tive in reducing the acreege), the oot-
t on tots would enjoy financial inde
pendence beyond their wildest dreams.
Know Plant Habits,
Gardeners Advised
Traits Must Be Known for
Best Results in Crops.
The home gardener must ba well
acquainted with,the characteristics of
the plants he grows If he Is to secure
the best results for his efforts, ad
vises the vegetable department of the
college of agriculture at New Bruns
wick. The trait of our common vege
table plants which »' mot be over
looked in any way In (heir sensitive
ness to climatic conditions. Some
vegetables require hot weather for
their best development and are killed
by a very light frost Others do not
develop properly during hot weather
but will endure freezes. Each must
be planted at a season of the year
which will enable it to make ita best
development
Of the cool season crops some reach
edible maturity quickly, and are al
most always grown without transplant
ing. In this group we find peas; the
short-eeason root crops like radish,
kohl-rabl, and tnrnip; the greens, such
as spinach, mustard and kale; and
the salad crops like leaf lettuce, gar
den cress and corn salad. These
should be planted as soon as the dan
ger of killing frosts Is over.
Other cool season crops have a
longer growing season than these, and
must be started In a green house, hot
bed or cold frame sometime before
they could be sown outdoors If they
are to mature before hot weather.
Cabbage, cauliflower and head lettuce
are In this class. The time to trans
plant these crops from the green
house to the field Is as soon as the
danger of killing frosts Is past Suc
cessive planting of some can be made
up to the first of May, but after this
date It Is better to plant some of the
warm season crops.
Fix Garden Tools Now,
Save Time Next Spring
By properly taking cure of the gar
den tools In the full, hours of making
ready In spring can be saved, says the
November American Home. Rust has
a knack of doing slow but effective
damage and Is the thing to be guard
ed against most carefully.
All metal work, and wood, too, can
be rubbed with an oil-soaked rag. The
oil used should be clean but not too
light, for It must give a perfect cov
ering through the winter. All bear.
Ings, too, can be kept shiny, such as
the share of the garden plow or the
hoe blade, coat the surface liberally
with hard oil. This work is a dirty Job
and should be done in old clothes.
Should you find a tool badly rusted,
a brick bat will be found an excellent
thing to remove the rust. A fine grade
of sand paper will also cut through
nicely. This can be finished with
emery cloth, although a buffing wheel
turned at high speed with some emery
pow’der on It will !>e the best to put on
a highly polished surface that will
“scour” when first used.

her listen to herself as though she
were listening to the speech of anoth

Children used to go to dancing,
school to learn the two-step, the waits,

and methods of teaching have changed
to suit present-day needs of young peo
ple.
That Infant mortality In this coun
try is being lowered Is evidenced by
the annual report of the American
Child Health association published re
cently. The death rate among babies
for 1928 was 68.3 per thousand for
the T19 cities of the birth registration
area. While this rate is three points
higher than that for 1927, It stands out
as the second lowest Infant death rate
ever recorded for the cities of this
country.

Lets Formal Dress Used
for the Quiet Wedding
Witb the growing sentiment In favor
of quiet weddings some brides prefer
to be married In less formal dress,
made like an afternoon gown, or In
an ensemble that will answer for the
golng-away dress. Many such costumes
are being made of lovely materials—
transparent velvet satin and crepe,
by the best dressmakers on this side
of the Atlai .ic. Transparent velvet Is
the season’s high light for afternoon.
A coat of the velvet will complete the
costume, or later, a fur wrap.
In an outfit of this description a
one-piece grown, with separate wrap,
and the three-piece ensemble of skirt
and coat and a blouse matching the
epat lining are equally suitable. Be
sides velvet there are the soft satin
gowns that answer for many occasions
the year round, and that may be worn
for a simple home wedding.
Coarte Nats for Afternoon
Evening frocks of coarse nets were
a feature of the Paris opening and

afternoon frocks made of the same

close-fitting bodices, natural waistlines
and long sleeves, they possess all the
distinctive features of the 1930 mode.
