OUTLOOK IS GOOD
FOR COTTON CROP
PRESIDENT SOUTHERN RY., SAYS
CONDITIONS BETTER THAN
LAST YEAR

President Harrison of the Southern
Railway company speaking of the out
ook for this years cotton crop said
the Government Cotton Report is
sued June list, indicates substantially
better conditions in the sections ira
versed by the Southern Railway lines
than on the corresponding dates last
year. Some uneasine IS has been
caused bysreports Of ;irouths in the
cotton states east of the Mississippi
River but generally speaking wealth
er conditions along he Southern have
been most favorable for giving the
crops a good start. Wet weather dur
ing the earlier part OF the season
resulted in the plants developing a
spreading superficial root system
which is capable of drawing suffi-
deeper soil during the frv periods
later in the season and ni5at CT tic
roots being just below the surface
| they are liable to be seriously in
jured in the cultivating of the crop
On the other hand dry May means
the developing of a good tap root
sy stem which will insure better
growth in the event Of unfavorable
| conditions later in the season. The
deep blowing of the land and bet
ter preparation of the seed beds now
more generally practiced in accord
ance with, the advice of the Southern
Rilwy department of farm improve
ment work are most favorable Deep
breaking not only enables the soil
to retain mere moisture but makes
possible the development of deep
root system. The reports from along
the lines Of the Southern Railway
company is that it is universally free
from grass. Reports from the terri
tory infested with boil weevil
'ast year are that they will be found
in the same erritory his year, but
that farmers know more about com
batting the weevil and will generally
make a determined fight gainst it.
With reasonable weather conditions
for the remainder of the season,
therefore. good yield of cotton may
be expected In the states east of the
Mississippi River.

loved one while he was in the dis

The many friends of Prof. Hart
will be glad to know that for the
present at least, his family will re-
main as citizens OF Athens and may
make this city their permanent home
The state of Georgia will be for
all time to come the beneficiary OF
some of the best work done in t. =
life of the late Prof. J. W. Hart. In
his capacity as professor of the
State College of Agriculture and in
the extension work he prosecuted for
the governments bureau of animal
industry he urged better methods of
dairying, the value in silo buildine,
and other reforms which will keep on
adding dollars to the farmers and
the dairymens revenues in the years
to come"

Board of Works and Utility
Company Take Up Rough
Draft of New Schedule.

The much discussed deposit rule Of
the Richmond Light, Heat & Power
company, pertaining to it's natural gas
service, appears to be in fair way of
revision SO that it will be satisfactory
to the company, city and public.
The question was up for debate
again at the meeting of the board OF
public works this forenoon and before
adjournment revised rule had been
roughly outlined, which. If polished up
sufficiently to meet the demands of
the board, probably will receive the
o. K. of the parties in controversy.
1t was understood before the ques-
ton was discussed that the board was
acting in the matter in an entirely un-
official capacity and was thus obviat-
ing an official recognition of the other
sixteen rules of the company's natural
gas service. If the deposit rule is re-
arranged to the satisfaction of the
board, it has been decided, the COM
pany will formally submit its entire
list of rules for the approval of the
board. Last fall the company stoutly
maintained that the board had already
approved it's rules, so this concession
was quite victory for the city.
Council May Act.
If the natural gas rules, including
VI" -""'sed one pertaining to deposits,
are satisfactory to the board when Of
Iicially brought before it, the board
Nit recommend to council that it re-
scind the ordinance making it unlaw-
III or Il public service corporation to
require deposits or guarantees of its
patrons, and the board will then give
its apnrOVa1 to the rules
Today Wilfred Jessup. counsel for
the Light, Heat & Power company,
presented another draft of a deposit
rule. which reads as follows:
1.-The company reserves the right to
require reasonably safe guarantee or
cash deposit, sufficient to meet the es-
timated cost for the service of natural
gas rendered for term of six weeks.

Deposit Rule on Gas
Service is Outlined

Such cash deposit shall In no case be
less than $500. No interest shall be
paid upon such deposit. No guarantee
or deposit shall be required of custom
ers who have met all payments be-
fore delinquency (payment before the
tenth day of the next calendar month
after consumption not being consid.
cred delinquency for the term OF one
year.
AT the expiration of continuance OF
guaranty or deposit for the term OF
one year, or upon discontinuance OF
service, the customer is entitled tc
the surrender up of such guaranty OF
cash deposit, provided all bills for ser
vice of gas have been paid.
Rule ProbIematic.
1t was suggested that this rule
might be applied to reliable parties
parties who had never had natural
gas service but might apply for it In
the future, that is, such people might
be required to place deposit OF
guaranty for a period of one year.
Mr.. Jessup said that he would place
the company on record of having nc
desire or purpose of enforcing the de
post rule against any class of citi
ZeHS except LHOso IL DeHeSeu IL SuOulC
have protection against. The compa
ny, he said, did not care to handle
cash deposits and would not do sc
unless the risk involved made such
action necessary.
He was also told that the rule could
be applied to man who for twelve
months conscientiously paid his gas
bills, but became delinquent on the
thirteenth month. Mr.. Jessup replied
that no deposit would ever be re
quired of a patron who became delin
quent for legitimate reasons, and he
said the rule could be officially inter
preted by the board to that effect
President Bavis of the DO. I'd, stated
after the meeting that with a few
notifications, he believed the rule
would be acceptable. He will insist
on the elimination of the SIS minimum
deposit feature, and will hold out fol
a clause requiring the company to pay
interest on all deposits.
At the opening of the meeting, Mr.
Bavis presented Mr.. Jessup with {
statement formally rejecting all the
features of the deposit rule presented
by Mr.. Jessup last week.
