Don't Steal Time
A meeting of the various eoinmillees in eharge of the f'hiekaslia
part of Ihe "Better Cities Contest" will be held at the Chamber
iif t ommeree rooms this evening at, 7 o'clock. Concerning the im
portance of this meeting, it should not be necessary to comment.
The only reason why we refer to it, is to call particular attention to
Ihe fact that it is called fur 7 o'clock.
The man or woman who is late in meeting an 'engagement, f.o
cial or business, is stealing somebody else's time. That's u blunt
way to express it but it: is the plain truth. When you faif to arrive
fit a meeting at, the hour designated, you are taking other people's
1hnr. Jt is bad manners besides being morally wrong.
Being on time is largely a matter of habit. There is seldom
any-valid excuse for being late. The "Retter Cities Contest" ami
every other public, movement will make more progress if members
of committees will resolve 1o meet all engagements promptly. Jt is
the decent and thoughtful thing to do. Jt can he done if you will
plan it that way. For heavens' sake, don't keep a lot of busy peo
ple waiting and then come in with some flinisv excuse for being
Jate.
The Cotton Planter's Way Out
AVith the price of the staple far below the cost of production,
the plight of the cotton planter is nothing short, of tragical. It is a
desperate situation indeed, and the man who is unable to hold
his product for the better price which is hoped. for has no choice
but to take loss. The only mitigating feature of the disaster is the
fact that it. is driving farmers into adopting measures to prevent
the recurrence of such a calamity in the future. From Alabama
conies the news that farmers are organizing "Nine to One Clubs"
ii:e members of which pledge themselves to plant nine acres of land
to food and feed crops to one of cotton.
According to E. E. Miller,, editor of the Southern "Agriculturist,
the salvation of the cotton country depends upon diversification of
crops and the adoption of a system of co-nperatn e marketing. In
the Review of Reviews, Mr. Miller writes as follows:
The first thing farmers must do is to put their farming
on a sounder basis. No legislation that may be enacted,
no organization they may be able to affect, will make them
able to base the selling price of col ton upon the cost of
production until they own the crop when it is made. A
col ton crop mortgaged to pay for the living of its grower
while he was producing it belongs not to the grower, but, J
to the man who supplied him. Jt, must, be sold when the j
supply man calls for his money. The Noiirli had made greaf
progress in recent years away from the all-cotton methods j
of the old days; but cotton still takes up too large a pro- j
portion of the cultivated land, and is still too largely.de- I
pended upon to supply a living for its producers. The j
work of educating not only the actual growVrs of cotton,
but also the large land-owners, the merchants and the
bankers of the cotton country, to the benefits of rational
system of divirsified farming must be continued. Cnlil
the South raises its own living, speaking at large, and
makes cotton really a money, or surplus, crop, it cannot
hope to market its cotton in orderly fashion.
Every increase in the acreage planted to food and
feed crops in the cotton country, every development of a
more staple and profitable livestock industry, adds to
the cotton growers' ability both to produce cotton at a
reasonable cost and to finance the .crop after it is pro
duced. , The present acreage yield of cotton is shamefully
low which means, of course, that the cost of .produc
tion is much higher than it, need be. The growing of
cotton in a regular rotation with the grains and the
soil-building legumes could bring the average acre produc--tion
up to a half-bale or more in five years' time. Many
'..farmers have already greatly increased Ihe productive
; .capacity of their cotton lands by such means, and the
farmers who have hacked their cotton-growing by the
judicious raising of livestock as so many Georgia, farmers
have done with hogs, for example, or as so many Mississ
ippi farmers are doing with cattle are the farmers who will
suffer least from this year's depression of cotton prices.
The best security an individual or a section can have
against going "broke" on any particular crop is a diver
sification of crops.
Once the farmers really own the cotton crop, coopera
tive marketing associations, utilizing the National "Ware
house Act, will be in position to let Ihe crop out as the
market demands it, instead of dumping nearly all of it,
as now, upon the market as soon us ginned. They will also
be in position to sell directly to the mills or to ex
porters. The National Warehouse Act is a very simple measure,
but it provides the means by which the cotton-grower
can hold his cotton and borrow money on it instead of
rushing it to market when the price is unduly low. Briefly
this act privides for the establishment, under govern
ment supervision, of warehouses of approved type. The
managers id' these warehouses must be bonded ami the
buildings and their contents fully protected by insurance
In one of them the grower mny store his cottoii. each bale
being weighed ami graded as it is taken in, ami having
a transferable warehouse receipt issued against it. This re
ceipt js l.y its very nature collateral of high class, ami
the Federal Reserve system makes it possible for the
bank loaning money on it to rediscount it, thus giving it
n fixed standing in any money market. Already these
warehouse receipts have won general acceptance as a basis
for credit; but the number of bonded warehouses is yet so
small that no appreciable part of the crop can be stored
in this way.
A sanely diversified farming system, the building of
approved warehouses, the organization of cooperative mar
keting associations these combine to make for the cotton
farmer a plain ami safe road out from his present troubles
to financial independence and a stabilized pri"e for his great
sale crop.

"Jlr. Ford's Page" still appears in
his Dearborn Independent in spile of
his sworn testimony that he em
ployed paid experts to do his writ
ing. Thus is literary fame won by
proxy.
Doubtless Mr. Ford spills some of
his ideas into the ears of his writers
before they turn out his page and
that's the worst tiling about. With
the kind of talent that he biro;, his
page would be a lot better if he
wouldn't butt in.

An elderly farmer, whiskered
weather-beaten, drove in from
nine-miles-away farm to the polling
place In. a village not far from
Cleveland and, after tying his an

Hullo, Uncle Jed," said a bystand

er. "Going to vote, aiii't she?"
"Guess not."
"She registered, didn't she?"
"Vep."
