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.

Germans Says Kastern Prospect Is

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!

The situation in the western area
of the war seems almost to have heon
forgotten in Berlin in view of the
German victories in the east and because
of the lack of lighting in Flanders
owing to bad weather.

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.

Washington, Nov. 17.?IIow Eu- |
. ?-? v-1 jr1 ?\/i iuuvi i?> answered
by the United States was set forth in
statistics made public today by the
bureau of foreign and domestic commerce.
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

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
