WHY ENGLAND NEEDS MORE
COTTON IN WARTIME THAN
IN PEACE.
Judson C. Welllver Washington
correspondent for Farm and Fireside
the National Farm paper published at '
Springfield Ohio writes a most in- J
terestlng article in the current issue ;
of that paper on the present cotton
situation. Ills aricle is optimistic.
An extract follows;

the output of the British mills; they
will be after the trade that the Ger-
mans have controlled.
"That same Is true of the American
mills. As soon as things get adjusted
to the new conditions the demand for
cotton will be limited only by the
capacity of the mills to turn it into
cloth.
"And the market for it will be
found. Millions of men are on the
battlefields and they are the greatest
consumers of cotton. They wear
khaki all cotton. A soldier wears
out about a suit a .month on the av-
erage. At home in ordinary occupa-
tion he might use three suits a year
and those mostly wool at that. Now
he becomes consumer of four times
as many clothes and those largely of
cotton."
And to the above :lie Waco Tlmes-
Herald adds this sensible suggestion:
"The moral of which Is. don't 1 In
a hurry to sell. But do get the bales

WHERE ATHLETICS COME IN.
You can preach hygiene to the av-
erage boy until you are black In the
face and It will have about the same
effect as the whistling of the wind.
But put it to him on the ground of
athletics and he Immediately sits up
and takes notice. Every hoy has an
ambition and It Is laudable too to be
a great athlete and to be such he is
willing to pay the price. In discussing
this subjecet the Peoria Star says:
"It has come to be a great problem
In our bigger cities to keep the boys

are very apt to degenerate into mere
hangers-on about saloons and the
common loafer. To combat this situa-
tion the following rules have been
drawn up and every boy who wishes
to be a part of Mi'i great athletic
movement that Is sweeping the coun-
try must agree to follow them:
"Go to bed at 9 o'clock after a thor-
ough wash and a cold splash over the
chest and trunk; teeth and gums well
scrubbed. Clothes and books ready
for tomorrow.
"Bedroom windows open top and
bottom.
"Rise not a minute later than 7
o'clock. Go through two-minute drill
and hygienic exercises for demonstra-
tion. Clean face and neck and scrub
hands. Finish up with a big cold
splash and hard rub all over. See
that feet and legs are clean and rub
them hard to get them Into condition.
Brush teeth and gums thoroughly.
"Breakfast and all meals:
"No coffee. No tea. Drink milk a
little at a time. Chew all foods to a
pulp. Ask your teacher what foods
to avoid.
"No smoking. Cut out all hnblts
you know are bad.
"Exercise In the fresh air equiva-
lent to a slow mile run a day. Walk
ten miles a week. If you lose weight
you lose vitality; stop work.
"Before school look yourself over.
"Am I clean from head to toe? Are
all my clothes clean and in order
down to the skin? Do I stand like an
athlete?"

SS
Clarence Ousley Urges Co-operation
and Mutual Helpfulness to Meet
Present Situation
To the Post.
Permit me to commend the editorial
entitled "Specific Plan of Diversifica-
tion Needed" In the Post of Novem-
ber 30. You well say: "If our Na-
tional and State Departments of Agri-
culture and the extension departments
of our own Stale Uulverslty and our
Agricultural and Mechanical College
desire to render real service to agri-
culture their energies must be direct-
ed to the Individual farm and farmer.
Specific work Is needed for each lo-
cality and must be doue if a plan of
diversification and rotation is to give
the relief sought."
This Is precisely what tho college
extension service Is doing and my in-
formation Is that other agencies are
doing somewhat similar work. Both
the university and the State Depart-
ment of Agriculture are co-operutlng
with us In extending the studies and
the expert advice of tho college staff.
Early in the session we foresaw
tliut legislative efforts of relief would
fail or be disapponllng and we set
about making a careful study of the
State by sections and of available
substitute money crops based upon
the demonstrations of the experiment
stations and tho observations of the
college experts extending over a long
period. This study was reduced to
bulletin form and is now being widely
circulated. It divides the State into
seven sections and submits the crops
best adopted to each with advice as
to preparation of soil cultivating and
marketing with special emphasis
upon organization for marketing In
bulk.
It cannot be stressed too much that
marketing plans are necessary for sue
ess In diversified farming. Not even
hogs or poultry may be marketed so
simply as cotton which may be sold
at any railroad station in the South
at any hour of the day for some price.
Intimately related to marketing
and a condition precedent to a new
system of funning Is a baslB of credit
for the growing of new crops. The
farmer who la most In need of our
help is the all-cotton farmer whose
cotton will not pay his debts and who
must be sustained until a new crop
comes to market.
Thus the problem becomes much
more complicated than the average
exponent of diversification realizes
uhpn jp mpTg . !. s "plant
hops .. at . etr.
' a we fPH lt
1 thrpe istint lut intimately related
lines of endeavor viz.:
1. The particular crops suited to
each locality with due retard to what
ilie farmer is able to do under sur-
lotnd'ng In umitati" es and wi'h In
telllgent study of the new ( roi'S.
j 2. Intimate and helpful o-opcrn-jtion
between business men and farin-
era both by way of understanding
their mutual Interests and by way o'
supplying their mutual requirement.:
j the banker or merchant to furnish
definite and cheap credit the farmer
I to pay what he can as soon as he cm
: to relieve the commercial strain
3. Organization by neighborhoods
i unit counties or shinning regions to
' flKrP0 definitely upon ncreaue In new
manent diversification reform without
observing these conditions nnd estab-
lishing these relations. The Injunc-
tion to reduce cotton acreage Is mean-
ingless to the farmer who has no
j other basis of credit than cotton or
' who has no facilllea for marketing or
converting other products than cot-
- ton.
These are the reasons for our pres-
ent plan of operation. We have now
three teams In the field we would
have ten If we hnd the money to pay
them holding preliminary confer-
fnces with business men and arrang-
ing for later conferences with farm-
ers. We hope-In this way to cover
sixty to one hundred of the principal
cotton growing count leg by the middle
of February nnd we will pursue the j
work upon a broader scale of Instruc-
tion In cultivation and aid In market-
ing through the spring nnd summer If
the Legislature to meet in January
will supply the small sum required.
Meanwhile our district and county I
demonstration agents have promoted
mnny co-operative efforts for financing
hogs nnd dairy cnttle and I nm
pleased to know that like undertak-
ings have been successfully concluded
by many organizations of business
men nnd bankers. I do not mean In
the lenst to disparage or to deter the
work of others who are rendering
"first aid to the Injured" In this
emergency. I am only endeavoring
to make plain the larger and more
persistent not to say the more thor-
ough work which must be done In
order to accomplish enduring and far-
reaching results.
And I am writing especially to urge
business men Individually as well as
collectively to get 111 touch with their
farmer friends for conference and
concert of action. There is more or
loss class feeling among farmers as
there Is among men of every vocation
but there Is not a worthy business
man In Texas who does not enjoy the
coufldence and friendship of a score
or more of Influential farmers who In
turn enjoy the confluence and friend
ship of their neighbors. These busi-
ness men can go to these furmers and
together they can work wonders for
the common good. I venture to sug-
gest thnt business Is not so pressing
this winter but that some man from
each store and each bank can well
ipare a day or two out of every week
In visiting his farmer friends and sit-
ting on the fence br or by the fire and
having an hour of frank fair and un-
selfish and mutually helpful consulta-
tion. Illustrating the point I am
making I take the liberty of quoting
from a letter written by Philip Web
hausen vice president of the Yoakum
State Bank In sending copies of our
diversification bulletin to farmers of
his neighborhood: "We trust you will
derive some benefits from Its contents
and If we can be of assistance to you
financially in increasing your number
of cows or hogs or In enlarging a
crop that you have not hitherto
grown please call and advise me."
There Is the spirit thnt really counts
for something kindly counsel with a
proffer of financial aid upon a basis
of safe credit.
This is a time too for bankers
and merchants to abate the high rates
of Interest and the large profits which
complaint ascribes to soma parts
of the 8tate. Our farmers have
lost three to five cents a pound on
tnelr cotton; bankers and merchants
are not called upon to losses on
their money or merchandise but they
should scorn to take advantage of the
present agricultural distress.
I have written more than I intend-
ed at the outset and I am appearing
In print much oftener of late than
pleases my personal taste but the
need for a clear understanding of the
responsibilities that rest upon us all
Is my excuse.
Yours truly
CLARENCE OlSLEY.
Director of Extension Service of A.
