ROOSEVELT COMING.
Ex-PresIdent WIN Attend Conservation Meeting
In Atlanta.


Atlanta. Men of worldwide repu.
tation are coming to the meeting Of
the conservation congress in Atlanta
next month. as.
A wire received by Secretary Wal
ter G. Cooper Of the chamber of com
merce, tells Of the celebrities who
will be in Atlanta.
This wire was sent to Mr.. Cooper
by p. l. Worsham, state entomolo-
gist, who attended the meeting in St.
Paul.
The following is the message:
The Pinchot- Roosevelt Garfield pol
icy OF conservation triumphs in
conservation congress. Pinchott will
be nominated for president of the
congress and will be elected il he
will accept. Many prominent advo-
Gates in conservation will be with
us at the Atlanta meeting. Pinchott,
Roosevelt, Baker. White of Kansas
City, Graves, MCGEE ind probably
Secretary Wilson, Ex-Governor Par.
dee of California, Blanchard of Louis
lana, Governor Stubs Of Kansas and
John Barrett of Washington,
"E. L. WORSHAM."
Three Of the men mentioned in the
wire Of Mr.. Worsham, to say the
least, are just now in the public eye.
OF course the first of them all in this
regard is Mr.. Roosevelt, but second
only to him are Pinchot and Graves
Mr.. Graves is the present United
States forester, having succeeded
Pinchot. The fact that these two
men will attend the Atlanta meeting
will of itself add interest, to all that
is done.

GEORGIA COTTON CROP
SMALLER Than IN 1909
Recent Rains Were Of Little
Value to Crop.
SOUTH GEORGIA COTTON IS DEAD
Commissioner Of Agriculture Hudson Says the
Recent Rain Came too Late in the Season
to be ANY Material Value.

Atlanta Expert opinions to the
contrary Notwithstanding, Georgia's
cotton crop tnis year will be not more
than two-thirds of what the crop was
in 1909"
Such was the emphatic statement
made by Commissioner of Agricul-
ture T. G. Hudson when asked for an
expression regarding the prospects
for the staple product this year
Mr.. Hudson takes issue with those
who have issued optimistic opinions
regarding the effect OF the recent
rains in enhancing the value of the
cotton crop and increasing its out
put. He declares that the showers
arrived too lote to be of any material
value.
'The cotton crop ordinarily reaches
its maturity by September TO-" de-
clared Mr.. Hudson. after that date
it is either made or not made and
nothing can retard or advance it. The
general rain of a few days ago did
slight good in north Georgia, where
the cotton crop is late, but the in
crease as the result will not be appre-
ciable.
In south Georgia large portion
of the cotton is dead and that which
has lived had advanced as far as it
could and the rain was of no benefit
"The cotton was given a serious
setback by the continuous rains of
the latter part of May and June and
July. To the damage done by the
season of dampness was added the
damage done by the drouth of sever
al weeks which followed and which
lasted until the general season of a
few days ago. The excessive rains of
the period mentioned filled the cotton
with grass and the drouth following
stunted it beyond hope of recovery.
From a careful study of the con-
lition of the cotton crop in all sec
lions of Georgia, l am convinced that
the crop this year will not be more
than two-thirds of the crop of last
year"
Mr. Hudson's opinion is in striking
contrast to the opinion of Ed Inman
of Inman, Akers & Inman, cotton
brokers, and others, to the effect that
the rains had tremendously advanced
the prospects of the cotton crop for
this year and that the state of Geor-
gia alone would profit at least mil
lion dollars as result of it.

Red Cross Christmas Seals.

Arrangements for the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals for 1910 have
been announced by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton Of tuberculosis and the Ameri-
can Red Cross. "A Million for Tuber-
culo sis" will be the slogan of the 1910
campaign. Two features of the sale
this year are unique and will bring
considerable capital to the tuberculo-
sis fighters. The American National
Red Cross is to issue the stamps as in
former years, but this organization
will work in close cooperation with
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, which
body will share in the proceeds of the
sales. The charge to local associa-
tons for the use of the national
stamps has been reduced also from 20
per cent. to 1914 per cent, which will
mean at least $4,000 more for tuber-
culosis work in all parts Of the United
States. The stamps are to be desig-
mated as RED Cross Seals" this year
and are to be placed on the back Of
letters instead Of on the front.

SOME CENSUS STATISTICS.
Very Interesting Figures shown N Reports
Of Population.

Washington. Careful, though unof-
ficiaL analysis Of the returns form the
thirteenth census on cities thus far
announced reveals the fact that the
increased rate of urban growth for
the past decade over that OF 1880 to
1900. has been confined largely to
places having a population Of less
than $4,000.
While universally there has been
healthy increase in large majority
Of cities exceeding $4,000, the rate OF
the previous decade mas not been
maintained. In no instance so far has
an actual loss of population been
shown.
Up to date the population Of sixty
three cities of more than $4,000 has
been officially announced. These are
somewhat more than one-fourth of
the estimated total number of such
cities In the country, and presumably
the figures on them are fairly indica-
tive OF the general tendency.
OF the announcements so far made,
LOuA SOfSi ClIiSo VI ulOlS budu 4OVJVVU
people. They are:
st. Louis, with 687029, or an in
crease Of 1874 per cent. as compared
with an increase of 27.3 per cent. as
shown by the census of 1900 for the
previous ten years; Pittsburg, with
5s3, s05, or an increase of 1872 per
cent. as against an increase in 1900 of
31.S per cent; Buffalo, with 423,715,
an increase of 20.2 per cent. as com
pared with 1913 per cent in 1900, and
Detroit, with 465,766, an increase OF
SO per cent as compared with 4S.S
per cent ten years ago.
The mean for the ten cities of be.
tween 100000 and 100000 is favorable
to the 189O-19O0 period to the extent
Of almost per cent, the average for
1890-1900 being 35.7 per cent and that
for 1900-1910, 80 per cent But, not
witnstanding the general falling off,
the rate of growth was more evenly
maintained in this than in any other
class. There we're not many ex.
tremes. Atlanta, with her 154,S39
people, and her u per cent. increase,
led the list for 1910; but for present
purposes this rate was almost bal
anced by Toledo's 81 per cent. gain
in 1900.

HOOKWORM BULLETIN.
State Board Of Health Issues Treat
Use on Disease.

Use on Disease.
Atlanta.-A pamphlet on the hook
worm disease, circular No. II, has
just been printed by the state board
of health and is being circulated
through the mails to all physicians
and local health boards in Georgia.
Anyone interested in the study of
this disease can secure copy Of the
pamphlet on application to the state
board of health, Atlanta.
This pamphlet says that hook worm
is common wherever the Negro has
been. The parasite is of African or
igin, and was brought over in slav-
cry times. The Negro. through long
years, has acquired an immunity to-
ward the effects of the hook worm,
but has never shaken the parasite off.
Ground itch is directly connected
with the disease, manifesting that
the worm has entered the system
through the skin of the feet. The
pamphlet says that factory condition,
inasmuch as they at least keep Chill
dren from walking barefoot on the
ground. are great protection against
the disease.
