FARMERS WILL REDUCE COTTON
ACREAGE, SAYS NEW YORK MAN

lishment of a banking and currency sys-
tenn that will provide more elastic credit
facilities for the transaction of the busi-
ness naturally arising from it's swift
growth i'm agriculture, manufacture and
trade.
If the reform of our banking ma
chinery, through the adoption of such
a cooperative system as the National
Reserve association, would accomplish
nothing else than the Improvement
which it certainly would bring about
in the credit facilities for marketing
the cotton crop, it deserves the united
support of the people of the south. At
the present time the south pays sew
eral million dollars a year to New York
bankers and brokers simply for acting
as financial commission men and go
betweens in the financing of the cot
ton movement between the south and
Europe. 1t is necessary to ship actual
currency from New York and other
money centers to the south to aid in
this movement, and the physical trans
fer Of this currency costs from $4,000
to $4,000 a year. While the latter
item is insignificant as compared to the
former, it represents a needless waste.
att takes a large amount Of cash to
move the export cotton crop of the
south. In 1910 the value of the raw
cotton sent abroad was close to half
billion dollars. Under our present
banking system, when the local bank
has loaned out its surplus funds and
is down to it's reserve limit, it can loan
no more until the reserves are replen-
ished. 1t cannot expand it's note issues,
because these are based on government
bonds, and to secure more bonds the
banks would have to tie up additional
funds which are not available under
such circumstances.
con the other hand, if we have in ex-
istence a National Reserve association,
with branches in different parts of the
country, it will be possible for the local
bank, when il needs to replenish its
funds, to take some of its paper, such
as s0-day cotton bills, to its own branch
association, not to New York banks,
and to obtain for it notes of the re-
serve association, which it can put into
circulation through additional well-se-
cured cotton loans In other words,
instead of a big crop movement Great
ing a money stringency and high rates,
it would bring into existence, in the
most natural and safe way, a supply of
note currency just in proportion to the
need for such currency. Instead OF the
production of a vast new wealth from
the soil causing stoppage of credit, it
would, as it ought to, enlarge credit
and bring prosperity with it..

THE greatest development in the Uni
ted States in the next fifteen years will
be the developmnt Of the SOUTH" said
z W. Mayo, of New York, the we'll
known writer and ira ~eler, at the Geor-
gian Terrace yesterday. Mr.. Mayo has
been travelling through the southern
states for several months and has been
i'm Atlanta during the past week in at
tendance at the Merchants convention,
and the meeting OF the directors of the
Georgia section of the National Citizens
League for the Promotion OF a Sound
Banking Eystem.
Asked as to his opinion OF the move
ment to reduce the cotton acreage this
season. Mr.. Mayo said: II believe that
there will be considerable reduction.
The farmers in all the southern states
are agitating the matter and their efforts
viii have the support OF business men.
In general. 1 am not a strong believer in
efforts at the arbitrary Limitation of pro-
duction, but. in this case, / think that IT
will be a good thing, for il will direct
attention to other crops. to the produc-
ton Of which the south is as well adapt
ed as to cotton. The present low prices
are, OF course. but a temporary incident.
Even IL the world will be able to take,
at profitable rates. all the cotton that the
south can raise, the south cannot AFFORD
to devote it's attention to cotton alone.
HOf one thing am sure, as any man
must be who travels through the south
ern states with his eyes opea. That is,
that the south is today the land Of OPP
portunity for the man of brains and en-
erey, and that IL is the best field for in
vestmenC in the country. Revisiting it,
after an absence Of i've years. find it a
region transformed. The example set by
Atlanta apparently has had a contagious
erect FOR even the small towns and the
cities that formerly seemed TO be fast
asleep show a spirit of progress that is
Irresistible. The great forward move
ment in the development OF tho south has
gained tremendous impetus already, and
il is no flattery but the simple truth to
say that Georgia is leading the way in
this movement.
"Of the vast latent resources Of the
south, there is no question. To develop
them, three things are necessary-erter-
prise, capital and credit Facilities capa-
BILE of caring for the great expansion in
business which is to come The enter
PRISE is here: capital is flowing in in
steadily increasing volume; the why
must be found for the provision OF the
third essential factor.
The fact that the south Is entering
upon this period OF rapid development is
lust the reason why 1t will benefit more
than any other section from the estab-

EGGS SIX MONTHS OLD
KEPT FRESH IN LIQUID
GAINESVILLE Minister Gives an
Egg Party to Demonstrate
Success of His Discovery

The real estate office of the Lester
Realty company, at S. West Mitchell
street, was turned into a temporary eat
ing house on Saturday afternoon, and
the menu card consisted only Of eggs.
served in every known style.
Three dozen eggs-fresh laid last Au-
gust-was the tempting dish sat before
some II or 10 gentlemen, who had come
to investigate the success of a liquid
egg preserver, into which the eggs had
lain since the warm months last sum-
mer.
That the test was a success from
every standpoint was the verdict of all
who saw and tasted the hen fruit as
it was served in every fashion to those
present
1t will be remembered that The Jour-
nal last September printed a story to
the effect that a prominent minister liv-
ing in Barnesville claimed to have dis
covered a solution which would preserve
eggs indefinitely.
In order to make a test which would
satisfy some skeptical friends he came
to Atlanta at that time and put three
dozen fresh laid eggs into the solution,
and left them in the windows of the
Lester Realty company, on Mitchell
street. Saturday was the day set for
an examination of the eggs Accompanied
by ]. ]. Garland, of GAINESVILLE, DR..
r. T. Shumate, of Birmingham, Ala,
and Col. w. S. Shumate, of Dallas, Tex,
the minister called at the real estate
office to give his eggs a test. Others
who were present were Marvin Elliott,
o. T.. Lester, Shirley V. Brooks, Press
Huddleston, j. G. Camp, e. C. Lester
and j. w. Embrey The eggs were soft
boiled, scrambled, hard boiled, poached,
tasted raw, and every other way in
which eggs could be served. They were
equally as fresh and wholesome as If
laid only the day before, notwithstanding
the jar in which they we're stored away
has been setting for months in the win
dows exposed to the heat and cold. This
was the verdict Of those who participat-
ed in the test.

AUTOMOBILE CONTEST Is
PREDICTED FOR SPRING

Enthused by the big success scored
by their automobile show, members of
the Atlanta Automobile and Accessory

President George w. Hanson, of the
association, is one of those who favor
the plan. Mr.. Hanson says that it will

be held Wednesday evening, when the
final report will be made upon the show.
The last vestiges of the automobile
show will have disappeared from the
auditorium by Tuesday night. A large
force of men has been busily engaged
since Saturday night, removing the ex-
hibtts and getting the decorations down.
