Why Build a New Eire Engine While
a Fire Rages?
PICKERS SCARCE
Weir, Oct. 4—Weir's fir.-1 farmer
to catch lip with the picking; of cot-
ton and to turn the hands over to
another farmer was Paul K'anaujjh.
Most of the farners are still vainly
searching for hands, and only a very
few will get caught up this week.
There will be a second picking of cot-
ton in the fields, those who got pick-
ed early will have a good second
picking while others who are late get.
ting hands will have most of their
bolls open as picked.
The search for hands has taken
the farmers from this section to
Georgetown, Taylor, Austin, San
Antonio and even into South Texas.
Each Saturday and Sunday has found
many of Williamson county farmers
in Austin in search of cotton pick-
ers.
ORIGIN OF THE TURKEY

HP HE motor car
industry was star-
lied when Buick
presented the new
Buick with an en-
gine vibrationless
beyond belief.
if you have driven
this great new car,
with this remarkable
engine, you know
why.
ics fit;id smoothness
inskes other motor
cars seem rough,
harsh, noisy.
People who have
driven Buicks for
years and .people
who have owned
much more expen-
sive cars, are capti-
vated by the luxury
of this one.
i to find out if the turkey really origi-
nated in America. Historians tell us
that the stock of wild turkeys from
j which our domesticated breeds sprung
'originally inhabited, the forests of
North America. That would justify
| our claim. But we are also told, on
equally good authority, that wild
turkeys abounded in South America
and 'Australia. That being so, full
credit does not belong to America.
But the race as found ' in North
America was quite different from
what was discovered in South
America and Australia. The latter
were known as the British variety, a
tropical breed, not near so handsome
as the North American breed, and
could not endure a cold climate.
It is said of the Brush turkey that
having strong feet, they use them In
gathering together a large heap of
leaves and earth, in which they bury
their eggs, to be incubated by the
heat of fermentation. As soon as the
egg is hatched, the chick works its
way to the light where it finds its
mother waiting to protect it.
The bird as found in Australia,
near the coast, also buries its eggs.
These turkeys come down to the
beach and dig a hole in the warm
sand, in which the hen deposits a
single, egg. When this is covered she
returns to the hills for feed, some-
times going as far as ten to fifteen
r.iilos, and does not rotc.vn f >r ten
days, when she comes back and lays
another egg in the same place, lay-
ing as many as seven or eight in a
season.
After tlie eggs are deposited in the
sand they are no longer eared for by
the mother. The egg is hatched by
the warm sand, and the chick must,
work its way to the surface and take
care of itself.—-Farm & Ranch.

By CLARENCE POE
Suppose a fire should break out in-
a town, wouldn't it be a foolish man
who would propose to stop and build
a new fire engine a little more to his
liking while the fire raged?
Suppose a half-dozen men were
drowning in a lake. Wouldn't it be
a foolish man who would propose to
ignore a canoe waiting by the shore
and suggest building a possibly some-
what finer one while t'i" tragedy of
drowning proivHloi'. ?
Of couase, we all admit the foolish-
ness of either suggestion. And yet
isn't it exactly a parallel situation
that confronts us with reference to
t.ht financial dis >stcr thr.t now threat-
ens everv Southern state by reason
of the low price of cotton.
Thirteen-ccnt cotton now is hardly
better than seven-eeni cotton it: the
days before the World War. Yet if
Southern farmers, merchants, and
business men show themselves wil-
ling in accept this absurd price, that
is all the South will get for the crop.
The cotton consuming world is cer-
tainly not going to insist on forcing
higher prk u.- if w • w:U a'-e< p!
13 cents.
An acceptance of the Kl-.cent price
is, of cour: e, indicated by just one
tliinjj- -the actual sale of cotton at
that figure. R solutions, editorials,
telegrams, and speeches of protest
are mere fury to tli ■ cotton-buying
world, if the actual lint continues to
go on the market at 13 cents or there-
abouts, a price that means sure disas-
ter equally to Southern farmers and
Southern business men.
But how is it proposed that we
deal with the threatened disaster?
Isn't it suggested that we stop and
build a new fire engine while the fire
rages, or construct a new boat while
the farmers drown? It seems to us
so. Elaborate and high-sounding
schemes are proposed for holding
cotton off the market and financing
the producer while the holding pro-
ceeds—but nearly all these schemes
are hopelessly impracticable, and if
any are practicable, the bulk of the
cotton would surely be sold before,
any of them could possibly be put to
work all over the belt.
Meanwhile (again permitting our-
selves the use of a double metaphor)
tin fire engina waits nnnoJeer while
the fire rages and the canoe unused
"while the men drown—at least so far
las the inventors of grandiloquent
; f.clvsmec vva cDtKctv 1.
I A complete, well considered, ef-
fectively functioning machine for
j dealing wit h just such mergeneies as
j now face the cotton farmer is ready
to help save him.
j
| We refer, of course, to the coopera-
Itive nn r!:eting tsr .^cir.t'ois now at
I work in every Southern state. They
| will take the farmer's cotton and see
to it that it is not dumped wholesale
j on a demon-lined and ruinously low
j market, but :inst p.d in rk led
| gradually throughout the year, and
j furthermore, they will advance as
'liberally as anybody can safely do on
I every pornd eJ c;il',ov: del!vc.ro.!.
As for acreage reduction, no plan
I yet proposed can be anything but a
I mere gesture. Farmers simply will
not say definitely in October what
they will do next April, when condi-
tions may be very different, and
should not be expected to.
"Isn't it an rstonishing fact that
editors and politicians are filling the
air with talk, protests, and pro-
posals and yet ignore the very agency
that is functioning for our relief?"
So a friend asked us this morning,
and we "gree with him. With the
best thought of America almost
unanimously proclaiming that co-
operative marketing is the wisest
solution of the farmers' marketing
problems, so-called prominent men
prepare to waste valuable time try-
ing to start some new and unheard of
kind of makeshift organization.
We appeal—and we appeal confi-
dently to Southern fcrnu: and .nor- !
chants not to be misled by such will-'
o-the-wisps. Instead, let us all turn J
in now and help those courageous
and far-seeing cotton farmers and t
business men who have already set
up in every Southern state effective
and wll managed agencies for hand-
ling the South's great staple crop.
In this way we shall not only best ;
meet the present emergency, but we j
shall give support and strength, not \
to some temporary makeshift that
might not work even for this cotton-
selling season and would certainly
die before another season, but to a
well planned agency that will grow
stronger with the passing years and
help prevent as well as control such
emergencies as we now face. Mer-
chants and bankers should every-
where acquaint themselves with what
co-operative marketing offers and
give it not merely nominal but active
support, including helpful counsel to
its leaders-
It cannot even be argued that|
growers must sign up for a long time i
ahead in order to sell this year's
crop through co-operative associa
tions, for in most cases these associa 1
lions are now working on the la-*
year of their present contracts, end
will gladly accept signers for ihe ;
l!»l!(> crop alone, leaving the grown-;
absolutely fro • to (Void ■ le.t" • about j
continuing with tile organization. j
Let's fight the fire with the fire
engine ih;;i is already waiting In- ,
stead of taking .time l^u build anoth-
er. Let's usi the canoe waiting by
the. lakeside instead of letting drown-
ing proceed while we construct anoth-
er boat.

THE kidneys are the blood filters.
If they fail to function properly
there is opt to be a retention of toxic
poisons in the blood. A dull, languid
feeling and, sometimes, toxic back-
aches, hcadaches, and dizziness are
symptoms of this condition. Further
evidence of improper kidn-y func-
