of extinction. The growing of sea-
islan'd cotton was, begun in Georgia in
the 18th century. In 1916 more than
117,000 bales of this cotton was pro-
duced on the islands off the coast of
Georgia, South Carolina and one or
two other Southeastern States. In
1923 the:production of Sea. Island cot-
ton mounted to only 6,267 bales. In
seven years the decline in production
amounted to something like 111,000
bales. The Journal of Commerce men-
tions several causes. It puts’ fihst on
the list the increased cost of growing
it resulting from the spreading rav-
ages of the boll weevil. Another cause
it mentions, and one resulting large-
ly from the first, was the discovery
of thyeadmakers and tiremakers that
they could get along without it. They
devised a process • which made the
shorter staple cotton an acceptable
substitute.

the control of those who are directly
and most vitally interested, and are
turned over to governmental agents
who are interested first, last and all
the time in perpetuating the jobs they
hold. Government is becoming a
great eleemoanary institution in Which
those in office' fondly conceive of
themselves as the all-wise guardians
of those who are out of office. Con-:
gress clamors for more duties to per-
form, while defaulting in the duties
it already has.
, The Democratic parfy was original-
ly brought forth as a protest against
such a conception of Government.
Its purpose was to keep Federal
agents oUt of the State and not to in-
vite them in. If federalism is neces-
sary to the welfare of our country, we
should accept it frankly. We should
get rid of the delusion that it is prop-

How to relieve the owner of land with
growing timber of a tax burden which
tempts him to cut the timber sooner
than' its maximum lumber yield jus-
tifies and at the same time keep the
tax rolls of timber-growing counties
in a healthy condition is not an easy
problem. In the meantime, however,
the State Forestry enterprise offers
a reasonable basis for a beginning.
Much of the timber land is now held
by owners who pasture their wood-
lands to hogs and cows. The hogs
actually serve to keep back the
growth of young timber, particularly
