QUESTION The iiios; bigmlicant tling in Amer ica to«in;' is ti« pro/uind unreal a mong the. people The great panic of 1920-22 seems to have lifted in considerable degree. Times arc evidently going to get bet ter from now on. Nevertheless, hun dreds of thousands of people have been financially ruined by the recent "panic"—or whatever one may choose to call it—and milions of others have suffered so seriously that it wil ltake them years to recover. These people are not forgetting what has happened to them. They are asking why it happened at all, and they will not rest till they have found an anavei' that they believe is sound. it is the era of .tiie question mark. America is in an inellectual and pol itical l'erment. A generation ago Tom Watson gave fame to the befud dled Congressman's inquiry, "Mr. Speaker, where ain I at?" That is what the people are asking today— asking about air almost interminable list of subjects; and here are some of the inquiries that are now per plexing America.—Progiessive Far mer. .

J S Rhodes, ti I Williamston, Martin County, North Carolina, Friday, April 7th, 1922 REVIEW AND PROS PECTS FOR COITON Cotton is abot where it was at begiiting of March. The Journal q£ Commerce calculates that about nine , million bales have been taken from American stocks since August Ist, in cluding exports. The carry-over was , about eight and a half million and the crop a little schort of eightmil | lion; say a total of sixteen and a half million bales; this leaves about seven and a half million on hand, fron which consumption to July 31 will take from four to four and a half millions, leav ing from hrete to three and a half million bales for the carry over. It is plain that if the crop this season is no larger than last, the amount a vailable will be two million bales oi more short of the requirements, even though these are no greater tnan for the eurrent year. As the world has been living on reduced consumption for several years it very much needs to use more cotton, and the situation is disquieting. If the season should be bad foy the growing crop we may have very high prices for cotton. Such an outcome is very undesirable, for it will mean high prices to consumers with little compensating benefit to growers. THE TARIFF The old saying that Protective Tar iff is the mother of trusts was nevei true rthan today. The Republican tci iff makers are shouting to prtect la bor but thai, is not their purpose. It used to be that 90 per cent of most products was labor, now about 20 per cent of most products is labor, one man handling fifteen or twenty auto matic machines is now making more than Ave hundred men used to make Uy hant and yet the protection is foui timei higher than Alexander Hamil ton gave us in 1789 in our infancy. One womun can now make about 1,- 800 pairs of socks per day and it took her grandmother a week to make ten pairs. All tkiß proves that it is ma chinery they want protected and not labor. The Fordney Tariff is a relic of the past century and the exact op posite of what the country needs. It closes the door o foreign trade. By its American valuation clauses it dou bles the present duty and let every price fixing group in America deter mine the basis of duties on imports of competing products. RAILROAD SITUATION Railroad traffiic, as indicated by the reports of car-loadings sinct the first of the year, have been running ahead of last year although January gross earnings were about 16 per cent be low those' of tht same month ol 1921. On the other hand the net earnings of 199 roads were $67,412,606 in Jan uary against $28,331,966 in January 1921 which reflects the reduction in operating expenses. Increased load ings are not refltcted in increased rev enues until several weeks laterfl be cause freight chargss are collected up on tht delivery of goods. The pro gressive gain i nloadings is shown by the increase of 8 per cent in FVebru ary and double that in March in each caes over the cor responding months of last year.

S > J SEE HARRISON BRO& FOR SEED peanuts, (told peas and yellow man moth soy IMM. It ( IR TOU QUICK RESULTS UU A WANT AD IN THE ENTERPRISE ESTABLISHED 1898 The Peanut Growers Exchange, Inc. is now having peanuts ctoanad by the Suffolk Peanut Company, with whom Manager Birdsong recently m contract for cleaning a large portion of peanut* held by the Exchage. This rrangement on the part of tho Ex change to hav* th* peanuts ot it* members cleaned of a milling is generally interprtad as th* OKMS signmficant swent in th* history of the peanut industry of America. 11 marks the begluag of a uew day for the peanut growers and will prove a tremendous boost to cooperative mar keting. The announcement that the Ex change would dean the is*Mfa of Its members has not been favorably re ceived by th* ctoaners who for the most part have either withdrawn from the market for farmers stock or have cut the pnoe on d*an*d gooda. Ac cording to Manager BLrdsong that* ia not only no occaaloa for th* peanut market to be depressed at this lime, but all circumstances point to better prices in the n*ar fuure. While it ia true that the total movement of pan nuts from the Virginia-North Caro lina section for the first four months u several mill tons pound* toss than it was lat year for the am* period, th* total movement ai peennts for the whole country is 99 1-3 mors than it was last year up to this time. A marked feature of this heertor move ment of peanuts is that already three times as many peanuts hav* gone in to oil this year as last. On account of th* recent advance la the price of oil the crashing* have bean much heavier the past month and a larger portion of to Southern crop will ge into oil. This will toav* far torn pea nuts for oil than last year. In view of the a* favorable condi tions thn Exchange will continue to hold its peanuts and will at th* same tun* perfect its plans for sailing di rectly to th* trad*. Th* appeal re cently sent out by the apodal com mittee on cleaners from th* Board of Directors for subscriptions to pre ferred stock is being recuiv*d moat favorably by the growers, who me responding ia n way that indicates their determination to put this propo sition across. Th* Peanut Grown* Exchange has recently acquired th* Bell Farm, a tract of IS 1-H acres adjoining th* property of the Benthall Machln* Co. and almost wholly within th* corpor late limits of Suffolk. This to onti of the most valuable undeveloped pite** of property around Sugolh, ant. to most suitably located for factoitoa and warehouses. Th* Seaboard Air lino runs along aid* of it for over OOQ yi Jrd* the Norfolk Bouthem Belt Ltoe baa a right of way through it tho entire length, and the Southern Railway to only a ahort diets we from B, This most valuabl* site was acquired nior* than two years ago by th* dboejora ef the Old Exchange, who Jbrtted themselves Into a holding corpora ion known as the Peanut Grower* Land Corporation and purchaaed it in or der that it might be available to tho Eichange for It* future development*. Notwithstanding th* fact that th* in«n forming this holding corporation had opportunity to sell this land at n handsome prolt they, continued to hold on to it, and thair faralghttifrens to making it poeaible for tho Efehang* to acquire this property will provn n big asset to the growers In vezVtng out their plana.
