DIVERSIFY CROPS TO SECURE PROSPERITY Must Cut Cotton and Substitute Grain ! to Kcap Benefits to Which tinSouth is Justly Entitled. Wash-ngton, Nov, 18.?Although the $1:55.000,000 cotton loan fund has been completed, ollicials of the federal reserve board and the treasury department declared today that the South must introduce diversification of crops and a resolution of cotton acreage next year to tret tin- full benefits from the fund and insure a material increase in the price of raw cotton for next year's crop. Secretary McAdoo, in a statement tonight called this the other pressing and important problem with which the South must deal. He urged the raising of food products which, he predicted, will find a ready market, particularly if the European war persists. "Tin- Southern farmer." said Mr. McAdoo, "therefore has an unusual opportunity now for changing existing methods and habits with certain profit and permanent benefit to himself." Will Help Farm crs. He suggested that the department of agriculture would gladly outline imunoas 01 crop diversification si.it-1 abl(? to different localities and added that bankers had an excellent oppor- | tunity to aid in this work by usiiv! thoir influences to direct the character of crops by imposing "proper conditions" upon advances to farmers. "The farmers of the South," con- 1 eluded the statement, "ought to wake! up to the importance of crop diversi- I fication. There never was a time! when thev could wake up with such , certain profit to themselves." Members of the federal reserve' board were indued tonight to believe , that present conditions pointed to a decided reduction in cotton acreage' and predicted that with acreage re- j duced cotton would go to a normal . level next year. CLAIM RUSSIANS HAVE MET (HECK I Germans Says Kastern Prospect Is (iood?Don't Look at West. Berlin, Nov. IT.?Whether the latest German victories in the east have stopped the Russian advance can not yet be foretold, but German military officials say they undoubtedly have resulted in giving the German an excellent strategic position and at the same time increasing the difficulties j of the enemy's situations. Near Soldau, according to reports I from the German armv headquarters, 1 the Russians were driven past I.ipno j to IMock. and the Russian army de-; feated by Gen. von Hindenburg at Wlocklawek was forced southward over Klutno instead of back upon the! Mne of its advance. The Vistula river i is now between the two Russian j forces and it is pointed out in military j circles that the river is likely to prove | a great harrier in case of further Rus- j sian defeats. Gen. Potiork, commanding the Aus- ' trians in Servia, declared in an ad-j dress to his troops today that thous- | ands of prisoners had been taken in the last nine days. An official Vienna announcement reports the Servian positions at Valievo and Obrenovas have hecn taken, thereby removing any other obstacle to the Austrian march on Belgrade. t From Constantinople come reports! ,.r ..

III IPIHIMI Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Tracy. (iaflfney, S. C., Route !>, Nov. 6.?On the evening of November 12 the death angels came and claimed for their victim the life of Mrs. Elizabeth Tracy. Mrs. Tracy had been sick quite a while with a cancer of the breast. Her death was expected at most any time, while still it came as a shock. Mrs. Tracy was before her marriage to Mr. William W. Tracy, some 58 years ago, Miss Elizabeth Kohn, daughter of the late Henry and Sallie Ivohn, who preceded her to the grave years ago. Mrs. Tracy was dearly beloved by all who knew her. She has passed from our sight though the sweet memories of her will live in our hearts. Mrs. Tracy leaves behind a husband and one daughter, one granddaughter and live great grandsons, one brother, Mr. William H. Kohn of Union. She was laid to rest in Beulah cemetery in the presence of a large concourse of friends and relatives who had gathered to pay their last sad respects to the loved one. The funeral was conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. W. Shell. Her body now rests beneath a mound of flowers which at tost tho hiph honor tho deceased was ' hold. The deceased had been a mem- j her of tho Methodist church about 4-~> years, and had lived a life of pure j Christian relationship to Clod. Tho] bereaved family have the sympathy j of the entire community in this sad hour which has befallen them. A Loved One. South Makes Advancement. liurling'ton, N. C., November 18.? The advancement made in the South in the manufacture of cotton poods, particularly dress poods and hosiery, i was well illustrated in the cotton ! poods show recently held in Burlinp-1 ton in which exhibits were made bv ! 24 cotton and hosiery mills all of | which are located in Alamance coun-1 ty. The products of each mill were ; exhibited in booths each of which i * ... were intended hy two ladies who wore! dresses made of cotton yoods maini- , factured in Alamance county. The i entire cost of the material in these dresses ranged from (50 cents to .$1.50, while in apoearance they compared very favoraltly with costumes of other fabrics costing many times this price, and the effect made a profound im-j pression on all visitors as showing the handsome garments that can he' made from the products of Southern i cotton mills. Antony the products which attracted particular interest were fancy dress ginghams, cotton dress goods, shepherd checks, plaids, and crinkled sersuckers, flannels, emhroitlerv ?-in. chot yarns, crepes, crashes, ratines, novelty fabrics with mercerized and silk stripes, and stockings of cotton lisle and silk in various styles and with a wide range of color.

They showed that during last month exports of breadstuff's amounted to $38,247,570, an increase of nearby twenty-five million dollars over those of October, 1913. Exports of fresh beef last month were more than double those of October a year ago, the figures this year being $83,940 I against $3(5,803. I In spiee of the tremendous increase*. I in food shipments, however, exports | as a whole did not measure up to last year's figures. Thn total for October as retorueu at tn0 country's ten chief | ports was $83,513,46(5 as against $147, .832,01(5 the previous year. For the week ending November 14. however, exports at these ports totaled $17,587,330, an improvement which officials say is continuing this month. Cotton exports for October, 1911, 1 were valued at $20,420,043, against G $107,375,197 in October, 1913. The j? decrease for the ten months period in B cotton shipments alone between 1913 3 and 1914 amounted to $127 180,748. '5 sells many "gallons of celebrated syr1jt Mr. w. s. Wilkerson, one of th< ! most prominent and successful farm- [ * ers of Western York, in discussing. th(> cotton acreage reduction measure the other day declared that even if the law wore constitutional and it was enforced he did not believe it would injure even one-hors,. renters. Mr. Wilkerson's idea was that every man in running a one-horse plow should plant at least ten acres in wheat and oats, ten acres in corn, and ten acres in cotton, and if he selected his best land for cotton and fertilized it heavily and worked it well he ought to make ten bales of cotton and have plenty of corn, oats and wheat.! "There is the plan that I've outlined | for each of my renters and tenants,"! saKi iVir. wiiKerson, "and I believe it ; is the plan farmers generally should ! adopt for the year 1015. 1 have a special two-horse farm on mv plan- j tation, which I look after myself and have worked myself, and on that particular farm I do not expect to plant a stalk of cotton in 1915, hut expect to work it in grain and cane. I can make a hundred and fifty gallons of molasses from the cane grown on one acre of land, and, as 1 use a particular grade of the Japanese ribbon cane, and have a careful and particular way f of making my molasses, I always find |'^ u ready saie ior my product. 1 sold) " one customer the other day $300'q worth of molasses, and when he sent I " me the check he sent me another or-1 1 dor for the same amount. And I'v< j found by actual experience that at. acre of land worked in cane and man ufactured properly into molasses, will net more money than the same acre of land worked in cotton, even though the cotton should bring a good price." j ?The Evening Herald. r c Card of Thanks. v We take this method of expressing ? ..... ^.Iiiv^uiic ami a|)|iri:t'iai.iun lO Olll * neighbors and friends for their manj { loving deeds of service, and words of v kindness, during the illness and death ? of our little Sarah Clarice.
