HIGHER, HIGHER, SAME OLD CRY IS SOUNDED BY COTTON EXPERTS

. "People -who are expecting to buy cptton goods a little cheaper in a few months than what it can be bought now, are due to bitter disappointment," was the opinion of a head of one of Richmond's largest retail dry goods stores when asked about the prospect for cheaper material. "We are buying our cotton goods for the fall, and in some cases for the spring of 1921, and the advanced price that we have to pay Indicates that the chances of a dron is almost hoDeless.

In my mind there is no doubt but that

me man W no is raaicany culling tne price of his goods Is either needing money and is willing to sacrifice his Mock in order to get it, or, by the fact that he does cut his prices, he proves by public confession that he has been charging an illegitimate profit for his wares." A department head in one of the largest wholesale companies of the eity told of the difficulty of obtaining goods once very easy to secure. "When we order material we can .nly get about one-third the amount we need and often we do not know the Mice we will have to pay for it until we receive our bill. "In taking our order the manufacturer will state that the price will not exceed a certain sum, when the poods is ready for shipment we either have to pay probably the maximum price or cancel our order. If we pay the. high price we can not. sell the matter at a low price, and if we cancel our order Ve can not supuly the demands of our customers. 4

The Farm and The Farmer By William B. 8anborn

"We are not looking for much of a wheat crop around Eldorado," said C. E. Beck, on Thursday. "Most of us estimate about 50 per cent of normal. Personally I think I have as good a piece of wheat as any near here, and that might be better. "Oats are not turning out very well, either. The crop looks light and in low places oats were drowned out during the heavy rains. Some oats were seeded in with thin wheat and the combination will at least make a lot of feed and straw. "Much of our early planted corn v.as plowed up and replanted. The ground was too wet and cold for quite a while, but the replanted corn is

With an ordinary season he expects to have s..mple time to mature his tobacco. Mr. Cail, who was In Richmond Thursday, says that his wheat was -sown so late that the fly didn't touch it, but that some of It was winter killed by Ice on the low ground. It Is his opinion that there will be better than a half crop of wheat harvested in his vicinity.

the farmers, who are likely to have

much better crops, having finally planted at the very best time. Corn is now all In and, the fields are being worked." A Two-Third Tobacco Crop. Mr. Beck stated that he had cut out tobacco, at least for this year. Many

farmers who have been depending upon their neighbors for plants will be unable to get them in time to do them any good. Plants are very late, owing to early cold rains, and these were followed by a dry spell that retarded growth. The high price of shade cloth is another factor in the reduced acreage. Men hesitated to buy this cloth, preferring to buy plants and some of these may not now be able to get any. We are figuring on a two-thirds crop in 1920. Two Crops of Tobacco Sold. The last two crops of Preble county tobacco have mostly been sold. The bulk of the 1918 crop went at 22 cents, and the last 50 cases that Mr. Beck was advised of, sold for 23 cents. The bulk of the 1919 crop was closed out at 18 and 20 cents per pound, and there is very little left in farmers' hands, at least not in the vicinity of Eldorado and West Manchester. Some 1919 tobacco sold considerably below 20 cents during the winter and early spring, even for fair quality leaf. Ora Cail, a young farmer living a

"The cause of this condition is dimply one of the law of supply and demand; as soon as the factories can rroduce more than what is 'needed the price will come down. The high cost of maintaining a factory with its machinery and high priced labor is added on to the final cost of the material, this all aids materlallyin making high prices."

Until just recently, Mrs. F. G. Haley, 1014 Terrace street, Cincinnati, O., dreaded for meal time to come because her stomach was so out of order. But since taking Vola-Tonic, Mrs. Haley says her stomach is in good condition again. She says VolaTonic helped her more than anything else she ever took. "I suffered from stomach trouble and indigestion for years and was in misery most of the time," Mrs. Haley said. "After every meal gas would form on my stomach and I would be in intense pain. I got so I dreaded for meal time to come because I knew I would have a bad attack with my stomach if I ate very much. Often I would get real sick after eating and couldn't keep food on my stomach. I

Army Worm Appearing I fn Southern Indiana PRIXCETOX, Ind.. June 4 Army worms have appeared in Gibson county, it is announced by Virgil Mood, county agricultural agent. Reports received by him from farmers show that the pests are in the meadows and likely to migrate soon to eat growing corn and oats. Farmers are being advised to poison them with bran mash or to plow a furrow, with deep holes at frequent intervals along the furrow for the worms to fall into. The worms did heavy damage in parts of central Indiana lust year, its being the first year in a long period that they had been noticed.

SCIPIO. Ind.. June 4. Several fields where army worms have been at work, have been found near here, the first being on the Davis farm south of this place. Entire rows of tender young corn are being stripped. Cut worms are also reported as being numerous.
