"Every crop on every farm, in every county and in every State has a defi nite tie-in and relationship with similar cropsi n other states." The above sentence, taken from a message to the people of Texas, de livered by President Roosevelt when he was in that State last week, ex presses S truth that the farmers will do well to appreciate. Mr. Roosevelt explained that when he was Governor of New York a sur vey showed much farming land was being used in an uneconomical way, that thousands of acres were being -badly eroded, reforestation was a t great need, that we had to plan for improving rural schools, bringing in electricity and good roads and stop ping the waste and poverty that so often attended the older methods of -doing business. " He said he was struck by the fact that agriculture cannot be thought of or worked .for, just on state lines. That is why "I have been working on the agricultural and cattle program from a national angle." He said that ?the cotton crop in Texas held a defi nite relationship with cotton in other states and that the cotton crop of the South is clearly connected "with the economics of the wheat grower in 'the Dakotas, the cattlemen of Wyo '?ming, the potato grower of Maine." "Where one of these peoples have a poor year," concluded the President, "his lack of prosperity hits all the others." Following bumper harvests in 1931 and 1932, the nation's farm mar kets were overwhelmed with surplus es- Shortly thereafter, an attempt to control acreage through the AAA was instituted. Drought in the wheat and corn areas prevented a complete test of the program for these two crops. In the Cotton Belt, however, where no drought problem arose, the AAA program was successful in re ducing the carry-over and gradually bringing about an almost normal sup ply of the staple. In 1937, however, when the Supreme Court upset the AAA and Congress failed to pass new control legislation, the cotton growers responded by planting 34*471,000 acres and pro ducing a record crop of 18,946,000 bales. This huge crop, produced without control created for cotton a situation that was just as bad as that faced in the early part of 1933. Undoubtedly, the same situation would have prevailed for wheat and corn had not the dry weather inter vened. As it is, the situation de veloped a year later. The 1938 crop of wheat and corn are greatly in ex cess of domestic and foreign require ments and the probability is that con trol legislation provided under the Farm Law passed this year, will have to be applied to the erops next sea son. il'L ? In this connection, it should be pointed out that the cotton growers of the nation this year, acting in ac cord with control legislation which they voluntarily voted for, planted an acreage below the farm allotment and the smallest since the Depart ment of Agriculture began keeping records in 1909. The 26,904,000 acres planted represented a decrease of twenty-two per cent from the 1937 acreage. This reduction is expect ed to cover around 12,000,000 or about fifty per cent less than last year. As a result of these figures, and because of financial'assistance from the Gov ernment to the farmers the price of thestapleis" expected to move up ward gradually. Last week's- crop report forecast 967,412,000 bushels of wheat ? the second largest crop on record?and 2,437402,000 bushels of corn. Crops j of this Size make It necessary for the Department to invoke crop controls to restrict planting for next year's crop and make it mandatory to pro ? vide loans to growers desiring to hold surplus tsuppliejpaiff the market un til prices improve. The fckeat forecast indicates a? sur plus that^may surpass th^87l|M)W, cast a surplus of about ?00,000^)00 [ 1 nakalo irrTi rtn ?j .x ~ I I j to market this Fall.

The Secretary of "Agri culture contends that railroads should charge higher rates in periods of j prosperity and lower rates in periods of depression. [. ? Looking at Washington (Continued from page one) building had to be done under several handicaps. There was "traditional grievance against tariffs, which made the South and West pay higher prices for the manufactured goods of the North and East; while they had to sell their cotton, tobacco, wheat 'or pork at the lower prices" of the world market. There were taxes to help pay millions of dollars of Federal pen sions to former members of the Un ion Army, while Confederate veterans received none. There were freight rate differentials which, because of the smaller amount of Southern pro duction, tended to keep it small by making it half again as expensive for Southern manufacturers as for their competitors to reach the principal markets." ? Kept Impoverished. On the same line, Walter Lippmann, (well known newspaper writer, recent ly said, "In the long period ... af ter the Civil War, the South has had the status of a colony, and the net effect of the -nation's commercial policy has been to keep the South improverished ... The concentrated control of credit having worked to retard the industrial development of the South and to keep it in the posi tion of a colony producting cheap raw .materials." Concluding its editorial, from which we have quoted above, The Christian Science Monitor says, "The South can do more for itself if the conditions which affect its income are improved." Moreover, it adds, "The nation in general will profit by al tering the conditions that tend to keep the South a conquered province out side the Union. There is an oppor tunity and responsibility to make her a full-fledged and equal-privileged member of the national family." The Southern View. In the above discussion we have not attempted to give an exposition: of the Southern viewpoint in connec tion with the problem discussed. This would, naturally, stress the compli cated problems which arise in a re gion inhabited by diverse races. It would discuss the Reconstruction po licies of the victorious North and ex plain how the beaten and impoverish ed White people of' the South subor dinated every problem to that ' of maintaining their control ? of the South and assert, without equivoca tion, .the continued determination of the White people of the South to maintain control of that area.

JBnHMl^vllvvstion* * jiRAniff(|.H crafts, room improvement, clothing,! QUESTION: What u meant by calcium-phosphrus ratio and what is this ratio for poultry? ANSWER: This is the relative proportion of calcium and phosphorus in the poultry diet and the proper ratio is essential for bone develop jjS&nt, egg shell, formation, and other body activities. If these minerals are not present in the proper pro* portions, conditions such as slipped tendons may take place. In growing chicks the percent of calcium and prosphorus in the feed should be 2.1 and 0.7 and for laying stock the percentage should bo 1.6 of calcinih and 1.0 of phosphorus. QUESTION: How do I make Brodeaux mixture for spraying my [apple trees? ANSWER: Three pounds of blue* stone should be dissolved in a wooden container for about 12 hours. This solution is then added to about forty gallons of water and thoroughly mix* ed with' four pounds of lime in the form of a paste. Enough water is then added to make fifty gallons of the solution. This is the standard 3-4-50 Bordeaux mixture. This solu tion is used to control coddling moth, bitter rot, and fruit spot on apples. For late fruit, one pound of arsenate of lead should be added. QUESTION: What can be done to control "rust" in cotton? ANSWER: Recent experiments show that supplemental applications of potash applied soon after chopping produced larger yields and materially controlled "rust" damage. This treatment is recommended in the pea nut section where the disease causes a considerable loss in yield. The ap plications should be made in the form of muriate of potash at the rate of 50 to 100 pounds of 50 per cent muriate to the acre or from 126 to 250 pounds of 20 per cent kainit The side applications should be made when the plants are about four inches high and as soon after chopping as possible. * PAYS HUSBAND ALLOWANCE Wilkes-Barre, Pa. ?
