THE COTTON SITUATION
FIVE YEARS INCREASES AND DE.
CREASES.
(By W. Rea Parker.)

Wayne is one of the three largest
At first glance it might seem that this
is an enviab1e position for her to oc-
cupy, but when we look beneath the
surface we see that Wayne's position
in this respect has been made at
sacrifice in other directions.
Brif1y let us see just what the facts
are with regard to Wayne.
First, she ranks third of the coun-
ties of the state in the production of
cotton, showing an increase of 65 per
cent during the five years between
19O9-1914; second, she imports more
than one and three quarter million
dollars worth of food and feed per
year; third, she stands fifty-fourth in
the production of these commodities;
fourth, in per acre yield she ranks fif-
teenth; fifth, in willingness to estab-
1ish and support public schools she
holds sixty-frst place; sixth, in mile
| age of improved roads she stands
eighth; seventh, in farm tenancy she
stands eighty-seventh; and finally, in
per capita wealth she ranks tentn,
with per capita wealth of 1881, as
opposed to 1922 for the entire State.
How clearly do these facts show
Wayne's mistake in permitting herself
to be obscessed with a cotton crop
monomania. With an enormous in
crease in the production of cotton oae
would expect to find her we'll round
ed county. But not SO. Instead, we
find her importing more than half Of
the food and feed she consumes, and
this in the face of land Of an unusual
1y good per acre yield.
Consider now Wayne's Willingness
to establish and support public
schools, her road mileage and her per
capita wealth. How clearly do they
reflect her attiture toward cotton
With high per capita wealth she
ranks well in the number of miles oil
improved roads, because these are first
essentials in the production Of cotton
but when we note how low she stands
| in willingness to establish and sup
| port public schools we see emphasized
what her cotton production signifies
: namely, that she is not so well round
ed as she ought to be- Her dispropor
tionate attention to cotton accounts
for her large amount of tenancy, a;
!, evil than which few are greater O.
!, more far-reaching. Furthermore, from
5 the relative production of cotton ant
of food this much is certainly clear
|. namely, that Wayne exports cotton i
: order to import hog and hominy; tha
D with II 1-2c. cotton she pays for 20;
n meat or 81 a bushe1 corn. Such trad
0 ing is clearly loss. Then might nc
: other counties well profit by this il
1ustration?
1t is equally true that those cour
,, ties which raise no cotton at all migf
{, be well off if their resources are prof.
n erly employed. Those counties where
n in a decrease has occurred instead {
q being backward in all probability al
on the high road to increased pro-

FEAR OUTBREAK
1t VERA Cruz
Commander of American
Naval Forces There Asks
Squadron of Battleships
TWO DREADNAUHTS
PREPARING TO SAIL

Washington, Aug. 10.-Commander
McNamee, the senior American naval
officer at Vela Cruz, has asked the
Navy Department to send a battleship
squadron to guard against anti-for.
eign demonstrations which he fears.
Anti-foreign demonstrations in Vera
Cruz were the subject of a long cable-
gram received at the Navy Depart
ment toady. Acting Secretary Benson
said the despatch told of speeches be-
ing made in front of public buildings
and on street corners in an effort to
incite the people against all foreign
ers, especially Americans. No acts of
violence were reported.
The battleships New Hampshire and
Louisiana now at Newport with the
Atlantic fleet, were ordered to prepare
at once to get to Vera Cruz, but if the
battleship Connecticut, now in Haitien
waters and about two days sail across
the gulf, would be ordered to join
Commander McNamee.
Cruz several days ahead of the New
Hampshire and Louisiana.
Secretary Lansing announced late
today that only one warship would be
sent to Vera Cruz and that it was go
ing to relieve whatever ship is used
for transportation of the Brazilian and
Gautemalan ministers.
He denied fatty that military or
pared and declared such reports only
interfered with the success of efforts
to settle Mexican affairs peacefully.
Secretary Lansing said the increas-
ing number of acts Of brigandage or
the border might neoessitate strength
ening the army forces there, but he in
sisted such an addition to the troops
had no connection with internal Mex
| lean affairs.
Commander McNamee's report did
not give details, but officials here be
| 1ieve the anti-American feeling which
| he reported is a direct outgrowth .ol
| l.
Washington for tn adjustment Of diff
ferences between the factions. Othel
| developments in Mexico, such as Gen
eral Carranza's expulsion of the Qua
temalan minister and his differences
with the Brazilian minister, are takeI
as evidence of Carranza's displeasure
with the stand the United States hal
| taken. The gunboat Sacramento is II
only American naval vessel at Yer;
Cruz.
With the arrival of the Louisiana
the flagship of the fourth division o
the Atlantic fleet, Commander McNa
NEE will be superseded in comman
of the American forces by Rear Ad
miral Mclean.

LOOK OUT FOR RUNAWAY
AUBURNDALE HAD

Jacksonville, July 21.-County
Probation Officer James C. Lanier
has requested the authorities of all
Florida towns and cities to look out
for Ralph Moore. 15-year-old
white lad, who is believed to have
started either South or North in an
effort to get as far away from Jack
sonville as possible. The boy was
one of the probation wards of the
Juvenile court.
According to Mr.. Lanier. Moore
came to Jacksonville from Auburn
dale about month ago. He was
found by Marcus C. Fall, of the
Children's Home Society, and turned
over to the county probation officer.
The latter took him before the Juve-
nile court, which consented to his
being placed on probation, when he
made a strong plea against being
sent to the reform school.
A few days later Mr.. Lanier Sc
cured him a position as messenger
boy with the Western Union Tele-
graph Company and he held this
