The South, and North Carolina par ticularly. wrought wonderfully well during the war period. Large crops, except cotton, have been made, par ticularly food crops. The cotton crap* of the country for the tour yearn of the war—1915 to 1918—were 11,700,- 000 bales, 11.302,000, ll;450,000 and 11.192.000, or an average of 11,411JD00 bales, against the four pre-war cro’»s of 1911-14 of 16,135,000, 14,156,000, 13.- 703.000, .15,693,000, Qr an average of 14.922.000 bales, which is an averttge of 3,511.000 bales more annually prior to, than during the war period. The acreage o( last year was but 942.000 less than for 1914 when the bumper crop of 16,135,000 bales was prodilced. The low production for the past four years has been due mainly to bad seasonal conditions in Texas and Oklahoma. Good winter rains already have been had In these States, and with the same acreage as in 1918, near 36,000,000—and good sea- fions, a crop well nigh as large as our largest can and likf^ly would be made, which is far beyond what there are any reasons to think the world will consume. Big Crop, Low Price. Our bumper cotton crop of 16.000,- 000 bales in 1914 brought $800,000,000 and our 11,500,000 bale crop of 1917 brought the South $1,600,000,000,- or twice as much as the bumper crop. We know what this means—"big crop, low price.” Cotton at present prices is at, if not below, the cost of produc tion, and not an inconsiderable num ber of North Carolina farmers have cotton of two years on hand. It would seem that the world needs and will consume at cost of produc tion, plus a fair profit, the small crop of 1918, especially as this is one of four small crops in succession, the av erage for the four years being 11.411.- 000 bales, or 14,000,000 less for the four year war period than for the four year prd-war period. To Make This Effective. What can be done to make this ef fective? 1. A well-defined co-operative pro gram on the part of the banker, the merchant and the farmer for holding and selling should bring results. 2. Along with the movement to en able the farmer, the merchant and the banker, or whoever has cotton, to hold it till the right time to sell, must go a program to house the staple. 3. What is perhaps more important when measured in terms of its effect upon the future of our ‘farming in dustry. is a plan for preventing: th<’ production of a cotton crop this year greater than the world will i!?quire. A reduction in acreage of from one-fifth to one-third has been sujrcested as the method of dnins this. This wnjiM mean for North Carolina In round numbers, a million acres in«?t(»ad of a million snd a half of cotton. This would leave a half million acrefs h^rj- t of ore devoted to cotton avnilablo for food, fef>d and soil-improving crops. Better Land for Cotton. Cotton should likely, in most cases, be put on the better land, including «?ome at least of the land planted to soil improving- crops during the past year. It should be fertilized with the view of economy so as to meet the fieeds of the land thus used and the vTop. and increasing the acreage pro- «1in‘tion and reducing the cost so as to meet the almost certain lower price for cotton next fall. 4. Another matter of serious con cern is th'^ price of fertilizers. The prices of fertilizers are the hicjhest we have ever known, and while the cotton grower cannot afford, if nossi- ble. to allow his acreage yields to r’-'olitie. fertilizers must be used, as to nuantitv and k’Tifl to best meet the needs of the soH and the crop. and F'‘<»d Crors. B. It will be easily agreed that all reduction in cotton should go into food and feed crons and pasture in ^n effort to make all the food and feed for the State on the farms of the State, so as to save transnortation charges and intervening profits, to make easy the holding of cotton, to bacco. peanuts and other money crops, and to encourage and support our growing livestock industry—beef cat tle. hogs, p.oultry,. sheep and dairy 20WS for the family cow, our dairies and creameries and for our uew cheese industry—these, together with our farm and townspeople and our an imals, make a practically sure mar ket at remunerative prices, for all the food and feed crops and roughage that can be grown. Entitled to Better Living Condftions. 6. Finally, we must have in mind as a whole pedple a readjustment of our wage and living scale. We should not want to go back to the old con ditions as regards these. Cotton, pea nuts, tobacco and other monf y and general crops in the whole Sou^ i have been produced with low-pricefl la!)oi —with much child labfcr, unpaid or underpaid. These crops have been sold to the world on a basis of tbi.*; kind of labor an^ we have bon?ltt products from other parts of the country op basis of a higher labr.r and ri higher living scale than o;;r own. greatly to the detriment ot oc; own standard of living as a sectlor<. Was Gonfinedl To Her B«l Aa^Chair For Orer Two Years Boforo Tak ing Tanlac. **Some strange things happen in this world and the change TanlM luts brought about in my wife's condition is one ofi them/' said J. L. Brown, a resident of College Park, Ga. “For over two years,” he continued *my wife had 89 much trouble with her stomach that she could hardly take any nourishment at all but a milk' diet, and she fell off till she was little more than a living skeleton. She got little rest or sleep at night, had no energy at all and was so weak and rundown that most of her time was spent in bed or in her chair. Her skin was sallow and unhealthy look ing and she didn't seem to take inter est in anything. ‘In fact she was about as bad off as she could be to be alive when she started taking Tanlac, and just a few bottles of this wonderful medicine have made her a well woman '‘once more. She now eats anything she wants, sleeps like, a child, has gained twenty pounds and is able to do all her housework as well as she ever did.’ Tanlac is sold by leading druggists everywhere.—adv. Stella-Vitae THE GUABANTEED TONIC FOR WOMEN Stella-Vitae has been in snooess* ful use in the treatment of those diseases peculiar to women for more than a third of a centary. For neai;ly ten years it hns been r;Dld under a plain, positive guarantee to benefit. Less than one bot tle out of every one thousand sold has been refunded for, and every claim for a refund has been satisfied. Thousandsof letters like this praising Stella-Vitae and telling of benefit to suffering women have been received. firs. B. n. Russell, of Mill Springs, ■JT. C., gratefully writes us as follows: “i was in a most wretched condi tion; had palpitation of the heart and would swell and bloat in a most distressing way. When I began using Stclla-Vitae I weighed 108 pounds. Now I weigh 135.
