A CURE FOR LOW-POLICE COTTON.
Under the above heading John A. sSimpson president of tlse
- Oklahoma division of - the Farmers . Educational and Co-operative
- Union of America writes as follows
The farmers of the United States' have-' Increased the acreage
- of cotton each year since 1921 until the last two years they haye
produced several million more bales than the world has consumed.
This surplus unused and for which there is no bidder has
brought the price of cotton far below the costf of production. If
12 sees such an acreage as there was in 1926low-grade cotton
yfrill not bring enough to pay the freight from Oklahoma to ihe
gulf ports. "
There are at the present as many bales of low-grade cotton as
the world will need for the next eighteen months. This means that
-.no farmer should plant a greater acreage of cotton than he can
1 give the very best of attention from the time of selecting the seed
- to the marketing of the bale. In other words the only cotton that
" ' will be needed liefore the crop of 1929 is high grade.
You should limit your acreage to just what you can purchase
the best quality of seed properly prepare the ground buy fer-
. tilizer for give tha best of cultivation pick with your own. help
'' get ginned on the- most up-to-date gin machinery and properly
warehouse after ginned.
We urge you to co-operate with the Oklahoma Cotton Grow-
ers association the .Agricultural College and the Oklahoma Bank-
ers association in an effort to get the farmers in your neighborhood
to reduce their acreage to an extent that will mean financial life
!. instead of financial suicide. . . . ..

While giviijg an evening lecture Henry Ward Beecher was
interrupted by. a loud imitation of a cock-crow from the gallery.
Looking from his watch to the window the noted speaker replied to
the embarrassment of his heckler: - - '
It cannot be that I have talked until daybreak and yet it must
be. The instinct of the lower animals is infallible. 1
The Groundhog. Day myth is no more a test of the infallibility
of animal instinct than was Beechers pun. If it serves as a test at
all it is as a lest of human gullibility and superstition. And if the
1 test shows a high percentage of both gullibility and superstition it
would not be surprising for most people will believe anything about
the weather whether prophecy almanac prediction "sure sign or
saying
Nevertheless the Groundhog Day fable is an interesting and
valuable bit of folklore worthy of perpetuation and of annual
commemoration. The groundhogs shadow doesnt determine the
weather one way or another but it plays an important part in the
! traditions of the country. This weather fable is a part of the true
1 American folklore. That some abide by the groundhogs forecast
does not ill any measure detract from the value of the tradition
as' folklore.
As the Groundhog Day story goes there will be a return ol
. wintry weather if the groundhog is frightened back into his hole
his shadow. In those parts of the country where the groundhog
.makes his burrow wintry' weather persists several weeks after
February 2 so the prediction is without value except to make a
dark and dismal February day tolerable to those who trust that a
sunless February 2 augurs an early spring.

The Mexico-Nicaragua mess presents many knotty points to
;; department and the fact that the administration and
Mr. Borah are at odds over it doesnt make the problem any less
difficult. But regardless of the relative merits of the contentions
put forth by Secretary Kellogg and those who oppose his policy
it is certain that it is the earnest desire of the overwhelming
... majority of the American people to see all the points ini contra
-versy settled amicably. The New York Times undoubtedly voices
popular sentiment in saying:
1 j "0nl kack to the essentials of the Nicaraguan complication
and the Mexican difficulty no reason has yet appeared why hope
; . a just settlement through conciliation or if necessary arbitra-
tion should he aliandoned. The note of the Mexican foreign minis-
; ter pointed out how inexplicable it would he if the United States
. w'lth its long championing of peaceful settlements should now
..refuse to listen to any arguments but those of force. Especially
has it been the boast of our government in these recent years that
" was no necessary to belong to the League of Nations in order
to be an -ardent lover of peace and always ready to compose inter-
national quarrels without resort to' war
. Surely the way of reason is not closed to our government.
. i he administration has had no lack of evidence that the country is
in no mood for warlike adventures. Doubtless the government will
receive due support in maintaining what it honestly believes to he
the correct American position but if it desires anything like
..enthusiastic acclaim it will work as hard as it can to be able to

states peace with honor.

Washington. Many folk got out of
bed earlier than usual to attend the
session that opened the Smith debate
an hour before the usual opening of
the Senate.
- The galleries were packed tighter
than st any time since Congress came
for its present short' session more
spectators than when Borah made his
speech about Nicaragua.
The diplomatic1-gallery was empty
but that reserved for senatorial fam-
ilies was Jammed and so were all
the others. The ' scene - wee remin-
iscent of a Roman crowd all set to
see an eminent Christian tad to -the

The tact that the eminent Mr.
Smith had numerous defenders
anxious to see that he st least bed

put more pep In the show. When
all the seats were filled people were
allowed to Sit In the aisled end soon
these were Jmmed and it was a Ti-
tans Job to get out.
Downstlars maiqr members of the
House led by Speaker Nick were on
hand and almost every senator waa

Cute little Alice - Longworth the
speakers wife displayed great in-

the reserved galleries.
When the Senate finally refuses
to accept Frank L Smith of minds-
Speaker Longworth will be glad to
have him. over In the House.
Speaker Nick hero of an incipient
presidential boom staged what was
virtually a public petting party with
Smith on the Senate floor ae he came
over to attend- the early session on
the first day of debate over Smith's
admissibility.
Not that Smith was actually hugged
or kissed but Speaker Nick grasped '
his pew shock It cordially and pat-
ted him on the back eo enthusiastic-

senators think la unfit to sit among
them.
