' MORGAN COUNTY PRESs ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY AT WARTBURG, TENN Entered at Wartburg August 3, 19 16 as second class matter under Stlie act of congress of March 3, 1879 Now is the time for "watching" the time for "waiting1' has passed. An explanation to the public of what is obstructing water-power legislation would certainly be very interesting reading just now. The price of caraway seeds in ill is country has increased since 11)14 from 5 cents to 05 cents a pound. How is that for Cara? Shall the world say that all the nations of the earth are free ex cept Germany? Now is Ger man's opportunity to cast off the" yoke of the Kaiser. It strikes us as very remark able that with such an army of salaried officials in the govern ment service every investigation should require an appropriation. Some people speaking of Ban gor, Me., refer to it as compara tively dry. The same parties if they were to refer tc Wartburg would call it superlatively dry. An exchange remarks "that one should go slow to criticize until l hey can offer something better instead." Qaite right bjother, but ihe rigid enforcement of such a rule would take away the major part of some folks enjoyment. Half Your Living Without Money Cost A right or wrong start in 1917 will make or break most farmers in the South. We are all facing a crisis. This war in Europe put3 things in such uncertainty that 110 man can foresee the future with any degree of clearness. The sure and certain increase in cotton acreage means lower cotton prices next fall. Cost, of all food and grain products is high, so high that no one can afford to buy and expect to pay out with cotton. It's a time above all others to play safe; to produce all possible food, grain and forage supplies on your own acres ; to cut down the store bill. A good piece of garden ground, rightly planted, rightly tended and kept planted the year round, can be made to pay half your living. It will save you more money than you made on the best five acres of cotton you ever grew!

(Special) That 1917 Ja a "danger year" for the south, and that there is "dynamite in the pres ent cotton situation for the cotton, growing farmer," are tho warning words used by H. G. Hastings, presi dent of the Southeastern Fair Asso ciation and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, in an Interview given to (the newspapers here urging farmers pot to increase their cotton acreage, ''Eighteen to twenty cent cotton at planting time in spring," he says, "is the bait that will lure hundreds of thousands of farmers in the south to each put in a few extra acres, and should nature smile on the crop as in 1914, we will come nearer a twenty million bale crop than 20 cents per pound, for evidence multiplies daily that they are 'planting right up to the graveyard,' as it is sometimes ex pressed. "On the Hastings farm we don't ex pect to put in an acre more of cotton than we did last year, because we think it a time above all others to play safe. What we will increase to the limit of our ability will be food, grain and forage, beef cattle and hogs. "The safe way is to first supply all needs of family and stock from one's own acres, and then put surplus acre age in cotton. With bread and meat in hand, and a garden producing steadily through spring, summer and fall; with home canned vegetables and fruits cn closet shelves for winter ta ble use; with corn in the crib and hay and fodder in the barn or stack, tho farmer can be largely independent of cotton prices in the fall. The farmer so provided for is never 'distressed.' He can sit on his cotton bales with mind at ease, and sell in his own good time when prices are right. "With labor comparatively scarce and fertilizer high, any material in crease in cotton acreage must nec essarily be at the expense of food and grain acres that are in reality far more responsible for the south's pres ent prosperity than is 18 to 20 cent cotton.' "Memories ' are short, but wise far mers need only to look back to 1914 and see the disaster due to too much cotton that can't be eaten, and the lack, of food that one must eat. I re peat this year of 1917, is a danger year. Any farmer who increases cot ton acreage and cuts food crop acres is gambling with the cards stacked against him." Complex Accomplishment. "I understand you speak French like a native." "No," replied the student; "I've got the grammar and the accent down pretty flue. But it'a fcard to Jearn ti gestare. Through Service CHICAGO, ILL.
