This YEARS CROP NO
LARGER Than LAST
So Indicates Recent State
Estimate

Atlanta, Sept. 15.-According 20 es-
Inmates of the Georgia cotton crop,
which were prepared by the State De-
partment of Agriculture for the recent
cotton convention at Montgomery,
there has been a very great deteriora-
ton in cotton in this state the last few
weeks, and the crop will now, under no
circumstances, exceed that of 1910.
The department further states that
if this deterioration is not offset, or
i? it continues the 1911 crop will fall
short of that of last year, probably
by fifteen per cent The estimate was
prepared by Captain R. F. Wright, as
sistant to the commissioner.
1t was given out today upon upon
Commissioner Hudsons return to the
city from Montgomery. Mr.. Hudson,
said the convention was in every way
a success and he looks for big things
from the arrangements made through
the Farmers Union for financing the
crop

HIGH PRICES DETER
NATIONS FROM WARFARE

New York Sept. 15.-"Nobody over
in Europe wants war with armor plate
at present prices" says Stuyvesant
Fish. The increase of the commercial
instinct, the widespread nose for bust
ness, is a great deterrent force these
days.
"The whole world is like one great
business house Good or bad luck IN
America now quickly makes European
conditions change in sympathy to an
extent almost as great as events on the
European bourses affect our stock ex.
change"
