URGES FAKMEBS TO "HOLD COTTON FOR 40 CENTS. Says Cotton la Worth Forty Cents, Cot ton Seed Worth One Hundred Dollars Per Ton. Special to The Daily tiezette. MONTGOML'RY. Ala.. Oct. .Hi The following information was gained at the World's Cotton Conference at New Or leans, l.a., and lias leen given to the papers by M. C. Allgood, State Commis sioner of Agriculture: Knglish t diners will make arrange merits to liny three million bales of Amer ican cotton. Indications now are less than a ten million Kale crop. Knglish and American spinners have little cotton on hand. They are making immense for tunes on account of high prices received for their goods. Tiiev cuiild now pay the farmers sixty cents for cotton. Iased on gelling price of cotton. Spinn rs are ex cited ov.r the shortage of our produc tion. They have millions tied up in equipment and hundreds of thousands of laborers dependent on them for work and must have cotton. The American farm ers haw a limited supply of cotton and can and will get forty cents hy hoi ling same. It takes twelve months to grow cotton. It should le marketed through a period, of twelve months and not forced on the market m three mouths. This rear's crop was produced on a war time price basis. And with four successive short crops the world will face a cotton famine next June. Thousands of tons of cotton seed mi Texas on account of incessant rams have sprouted ami ruined in the fields.

An enrciiiraging s gn of the times U the trend of son .hern fur:id:ig towurl diversitti-ation of crops and livestock raising. The world needs food, nr.d ti'e South n:ay supply a large part of it, with th certainty of increasing its farm In comes and the productiveness of Its aods. The importance of producing more grain and hay and raising beef cattle is recognized by all thinking peopla, as well as the necessity of providing the only sound basis for theme Indus tries that furnished by the growing nf clover and other legumes, and the grasses. We must have forage to feed livestock, and we must grow legumes to feed the soil and increase the yieldi of grain and other food Wops.' The way la not hard to follow, and one does not have to travel far in any section of the southeast to find good examples of soll-buiiding, and success ful livestock farming. The blue gras regions of the country no longer fai rish the finest types of beef cattle, and record yields of grain are held by erections that are not Included in the corn and wheat belts. The cattle ahown in the accompanying photo graphs were raised on farms la Norta and Routh Carolina. In these states, aa well as In Georgia and East Ten nessee, the production of large grain and forage crop has- idw Uveat0fc cannot buy them far crushing. Therefore cotton seed oil will hare no competition with peanut oil. Heretofore thousands of hogs have been fattened on cheap ea nuts. Peanuts will all be harvested and thus the supply of fats from this source will be curtailed. And cotton seed oil will certainly be in great demand. There will le practically no ieanut meal pro duced and thus cotton seed meal will have little competition as stock .feed. It is one of the best protein feeds yi the market and will sell foijiuuch higher .'rices. Small Farmer Profits. Monroe Journal. The small fanner is one who is hen eft ted most hy high cotton prices, accord ing to Mr. W. K. Fuiidorburk. To illus trute his vicwmiut, he relates the follow ing: " I he hist ot the year one of the laziest darkey farmers in the county came to me for work. I kneiv his reputation, but needing help badly. I decided to em ploy him. For a maple of mouths he stayed with ii.e, doing better work than I expected. When planting time came I had no more use for him on my place; but feeling sorry for him. I offered to rent him a small patch of land. He agreed to my terms and began to work. I luring the season he went in debt to me for l!Mi for rations and fertilizer. Tin' other clay he sold three bales of cot '.on, ami the proceeds were large enough :o pay his bills for the year, ami gie me half of the cotton for my share. He lias seven more bales to sell, r.ud by the end of the year he will have cleared from .ou to .l,ooo. I 'tit il this year I don't believe he ever i leared over .o0 off his crop.

From all parts of the coun try come reports of the difficulty de mobilized officers are having to find Jobs. Those former officers with wives and families to support are in many cases living on meager pensions. One of the most remarkable cases of unemployment Is that of a Cam bridge university graduate who for the greater part of the war held an important command In the army and subsequently a temporary post of great responsibility in a government department, lie Is armed with a let ter from the war office thanking him for his services and adding: "There ure few people with greater organ izing ability, more charming manners, greater tact and drive than yourself." Honored by King George. Another letter to him from Sir Auck land Geddes, president of the board of trade, expresses "wurm personal thanks for your loyal and devoted co operation In very difficult work." King George bestowed on hltu the order of Commander of the British Empire. Hut these credentials have been of no avail in his quest for suitable em ployment in this country, and, in de spair, he says that he is golug to America next month. Ex-officers have discovered that the business world regards long military service rts u disadvantage rather than an asset.

Canvassers for every township and every rural route are being organized for this work, and they will go out for the purpose of seeing every farmer and business man ia thr county during the week of tin- campaign. It will be the effort of the campaign oftieials to make this canvass as thorough is any that has been made by the Bed Cross, the Liberty Loans or the Y. M. C. A., campaign during the war. An oppor tunity will he given to every business man. professional man sad every farmer in every county growing cotton to join this movement, which will stabilize the price of cotton, iiad take it out of tiie hands of the speculator and gambler in the f ut are. The success of the Cotton Association, say officials, will determine to a very large extent the success of the other movements in the Southern States.
