Unknown Labrador.

Labrador is an unknown re-
gion to most people, bnt a glance
at the map will show that it is a
vast peninsula, with total area
of 100000 square miles, lying
north of Belle Isle strait and en-
braced in the north temperate
zone, the southern section lying
along the same parallels as the
great wheat growing areas of
western Canada. Newfoundland
owns and administers the eastern
section Of Labrador, fronting on
the Atlantic, and expeditions
have explored it for some years
past, but, naturally only superb
cially, because it's immensely of
area is such as to preclude a de-
tailed investigation. The official
reports, however, show that the
country is splendidly wooded,
and that in Hamilton inlet,
Sandwich bay. and other districts
on the east coast there is splen-
did timber and some of the great
est water powers in the world,
while the region, being open to
navigation for seven months of
the year, possesses the same ad-
vantages for the pulp and paper
industry as the mills in those
parts of northern Europe which
supply European centers today.

SEA ISLAND COTTON MEN
WILL INCREASE ACREAGE
Farmers of LowndeS County
Are Excited Over RumorS
of Big Crop

VABDOSTA. Ga-, Feb 1.-THE farmers
OF Lowndes county are actually alarmed
over the prospect OF an enormous in
crease in the acreage of Sea Island cot
ton as indicated for the coming season.
AT a meeting OF the Sea Island Cotton
Growers association. held yesterday,
resolutions were passed urging
the farmers to substitute short staple cot
ton or other crops. and hold the acreage
in long cotton below that Of last year.
II is understood that the farmers OF
Grady. Colquitt and Tiff counties who
have not heretofore raised long cotton
to practically any extent, are preparing
to put in a large acreage, tempted by the
high prices which ruled at the beginning
OF the present season. and by the belief
that q fair grade OF long staple can be
made on the lands In those sections.
The older Sea Island sections are ap-
parently preparing for a larger acreags
and expert growers and buyers here be-
lieve that unless some steps are taken
to hold down the acreage. a yield Of 49,
900 bales OF long staple, with prices
around u and is cents, win be the result
next fall.
