KIXG COTTON IX SOUTH
Dallas, Texas, March 8—"Let Tex
as Feed Itself" 1b the slogan of a
diversified farming campaign that
fi.ids Its counterpart today lu every
rtate In the South. Gereral farro
> ing instead of all cotton is being
uiged by practically every newspa
per. banker, storekeeper and ag
ricultural expert In the Southland.
Hundreds of lecturers are in the
field, armed with proof of the great
er profits in diversification. The
mistake of selling a dollar's worth
of cotton and importing three dol
lars"8 worth of foodstuffs in being
brought home to cotton growers ev
errwherre.
The failure to obtain good pric
es for the bumper 1914 cotton
crop, as a result of the European
war, started a cotton acreage re
duction campaign. How deep the
lesson of the war struck into cot
Mr planters' hearts will not be
accurately known until the census
bureau at Washington estimates
U)» acreage this coming season. But
tho first estimate of the winter
wheat acreage will give Bome hint
as to the cotton situation because
tens of thousands of acres pre
viously planted in cotton have
been sowed in wheat. Field work
ers have reported hundreds of In
stances of old cotton patches plant
ed for wheat
The Texas Industrial congress, as
endowed organization working for
better farming methods, diversifica
tion and dairying, has piven general
farming an Impetus by distributing
$10,0000 in cash prizes to high
retord producer* of wheat, corn
maize, peanuts and many other
articles as well as cotton.
Diversification leagues are being
formed iu every Texas county.
Bankers in several communities are
advHi.cing money on easy terms to
start former cotton planters Jn th<
live stock industry.
V PRETTY BELGIUM CITY
WIPED OUT BY GERMANS
Flanders, (By mail to New York)
|—N'ieuport, the pretty little city to
the west of Ostend on the Belgian
coast, has gone to joh. the long
list of cities that were, but are no
more. Only the name remains.
Like Pervyse, Louvalc, Sermaize,
anil so many smiling towns of Bel
gium and France, nothing is left of
Nieuport but the shells of what
ustd to be habitations, churches,
schools, places of business, theaters
and such.
Daily the crack of German shells
echo through the debris strewn
valleys that used to be called
streets, and nightly the clatter of
collapsing walls and tilo roofs, weak
ened or undermined by the day's
shelling are the only sounds to be
heard outside the tramp of sentinels
or the meow of cats.
Cats? The place seems swarm
ing with them, poor, lean, starving
creatures, who hide in brick-and
stone littered cellars by day and
come out to prowl and beg for food
at night. Their eyes shine out of
the darkness with au almost super
natural luster and in their voices
is a quality smacking of ghostly,,
haunt-frequented places. Thsy
F'.amper out of sight among the
ruins if one but says "Boo!" but
if you stand still and offer the pro
per encouragement the drove of cats
.will approach and rub their arched,
though bony backs against your
legs, mewing up at you in the mo3t
pitiful, beseeching of ways. If you
have food with you, the appeal can
not be resisted and you share your
sliced ham, sausages, potted meat,
or whatever you carry, with the
famished pets.
