Moreover, considerable shifts have taken { —says Taxi Tad. place from less productive to more productive erops per acre. A decrease has occurred in the acreage of wheat and in the acreage of other| cereals. On the other hand, the acreage de- voted to cotton, alfalfa, clover, fruits, vegetables has increased notably. These facts are recorded by the United Department of Agriculture. In the originally| forested portions of the United States an almost universal decrease has taken place in crop acreage gince the war, particularly in the hilly sections. On the other hand, an increase in acreage has taken place in the prairie and Great Plains re- " gions, where conditions are favorable for the * use of large-scale machinery. Thus crop produc- " tion has been stimulated on the level lands of the West at the sacrifice of much of the poorer v or less level lands of the RBast, Increased | mechanization of agricultural work and the de- velopment of drought-resistant varieties of crops has had much to do with this change, _ Corm acrenge, according to census figures, has ‘declined in almest every county east of a line from Lafayette, Ind, to central Missouri and cen- ‘tral Oklahoma. Northwest of this line, on the other hand, a general increase in corn acreage ‘has taken place. In like manner a decrease in the area in cotton in Georgia and South Caro- lina has been more than compensated by an Ancrease in Texas and Oklahoma. Cotton acreage and The Welfare Director’'s analysis is official and dispassionate. The State prisons are crowded as never before, having doubled since the enactment of the Crabbe act. He says so, and puts the blame where it properly belong One by one former supporfers of the prohibi- tion polic mong distinguished men and women the countr who have not been wholly ob- sessed by the devil of fanaticism, are coming forward with statements of renunciation of the belief that morals can be commanded by law— that law itself can become sacrosanct. The Welfare Director is in position to speak with authority. Not all the fulminations of the Anti-Saloon League and its hired, or deluded, followers can explain away cold facts and figures. The Enquirer often has said, prohibition is Mot @ problem to be entertained as one of legal import and significance; the principle involved | in the effort to enforce it is un-Ameri an, un- democratic and unmeral. To use intoxi iting liguors is not wrong per se, How can such aet, in a democracy, be. declared to be legally a crime? But so the matter stands, and so it shall stand until the leaders of public thought in America have awakened to the me nace of such fallacious reasoning and practice When a life-long Democrat swears: he won't vote for Al Smith it would be well to chock up on him at the corner grocery and sce how much yeast, raisins and sugar he buys. -(Atlanta Con- stitution, ) ‘has increased also along the northern margin the Corn Belt, where the boil weevil does less than in the cotton area farther south, eage in oats decreased in southern Indiana ; rl, Oklahoma, aw /Texas.
