Political writer David Lawrence questions which party spiked the treaty as Democrats push for unconditional approval while Republicans push reservations. He compares Senate maneuvers to a Sherlock Holmes case, noting leaders from Reed to Lodge and Borah to Johnson weigh in with divergent stances and motives. He argues reservations either alter the treaty or render them mere verbiage, risking a new agreement.
The text notes Republicans split over how far to concede to save the treaty and how little to concede to kill it, and now with the treaty dead, there is noticeable GOP joy. It questions who wished the treaty dead and who fought to save it.
Farmers in Wilbarger County face a choice between boosting feed or cotton after a year of large cotton acreage, labor shortages, and heavy fall rains that limited feeding of grain. The Progressive Farmer argues for adopting a Grow Feed slogan and promotes consistent use.

It warns that high feed prices, limited supplies, and a short 1920 feed crop season will shape 1921 cotton output and Southern economic prosperity, urging urgent attention to feed and food planting.
