EXPECTS l1,OOO,OOO' BALE COTTON CR0P|
Wm. P. Redd Makes Esti- mate Based on Conditions
 and Recent Reports

1 William Redd of the Grassell Chemical
 company. Birmingham, has issued state
 ment on cotton average, of which the following is the essential part. as pub l lished in the New York Journal of Com mercer.
 we have been subjected to many sur prises since the war regarding cotton. Who would have dared the prediction last fall that more than 100000 bales would have been exported during the entire sea- son, if the war continued? At this time
 more than 6,000.o00 bales have gone abroad and it is reliably stated that 2,0O0, GOO bales more have been purchased for export. It is further forecaster by cotton factors
 that the exports of 1915 may equal 1914 The American mills are beginning to feel 1 the stimulus of the increased demand for finished fabrics, as shown by the gov-
 ernment report of the February consump-
 tion Cf63.267 vs. 455,231. exclusive of lin- ters). As February Is a short month, this
 consumption would indicate total of T. 0OO.OoO bales, used at home. If our final
 exports for the season are equal to last year. we will have had demand for 16,- o00,000 bales, the entire production for 1914 It is estimated that 100000 bales of cotton have gone into gun cotton and other explosives, and that if the war con-
 inues until the fall of 1915, more than B. 100000 bales will have been utilized. Now. what about the acreage, and the possi- Dllities Of supplying the markets another season from this years production?
 The fertilizers sold in tho south will not exceed 60 per cent of last season, trTh fl.ff Ir <.Fx L been sold from the farms and shipped away; very few being bought as formerly. The merchant supplying the farmer is de- manding that he diversity, to the extent of growing his foodstuffs at home, in or der to reduce the cost of cotton, or no credit. This means that while a farmer can only get credit to cultivate a limited acreage, he must diversity a part, which demands cotton acreage reduction. Con slider. in addition, that the government report estimates 6,000,0 eco more acres plant ed in small grain, in the cotton belt to March 1, than last season, and that it is now too late to finance and plan a cotton crop for 1915 Gas those who have not been assured of supplies have sought other avenues for a living), and you are forced to conclude that at least a 30 per cent cottor acreage reduction Is inevitable. Do not forget that last seasons crop was from an abnormal yield, and that nature seldom purges herself two successive years A glance at the average yields for 15 years will convince you of this fact. The Mississippi delta and a few other similar sections, where the virgin richness of the soils admit of the own CTS getting unlimited credit, may not re- duce acreage but the other 90 per cent will of necessity, reduce the cotton acre. age 30 per cent or more, and cannot see but that with an average yield, which is to be expected, that our 1915 cotton crop will not exceed 11.000, GOO bales, at most"

Birmlng gham Is in dangerl

Birmingham is in danger
 Hundreds of her citizens now intend to vote against the municipal bond issue of s1 ,25ooo0 on April 12
 The majority of them do not know why. They are just opposed to the bond is- sue. Times are hard. Money is scarce. Business is poor. Salaried men have been cut in wages.
 "Surely." they say, this is no time to think of further increasing our lia- bilities by voting a municiual bond issue and increasing our taxes. This is not a time to spend money; this is the time to save it,''
 Others actively oppose the bond issue. They are working for it's defeat. They are the enemies of the city administra- tion; they are the enemies of the com mission form of government; they are playing politics; they are waging a fac- tional or a personal fight when the city is in danger; they are campaigning with statements which unintentionally or ma- liciously are not facts.
 There's the situation.
 It's timo for the voters of Birmingham to sit up and think
 The effects of the bond issue election April F will be concrete, not abstract. The "ordnary'' man, the merchant, the professional. the artisan, all those who daily go about their own work in their own way, conducting their affairs quietly, and living happily with their friends and patrons--the man whose name seldom or never appears in print, who is not public character, and who does not want to be- is the man who is going to decide the fate of the bond issue.
 And as he decides, so will he reap. His vote for or against the bond issue

 While the average per capital revenue paid by citizens of five cities the ap- proximate size of ingham-Atlanta, Nashville Memphis, Richmond and Dal- las-has been $21.s5 per year. in

 While the property tax per year in Memphis has been a million and a half, in Richmond over &, 000000. in Dallas $1- 500000, in Atlanta over s2,000.0o0, and in Nashville over s1,0OO,000. in

 Payday was inevitable. While the tax collected per square mile in Nashville was $60000, in Atlanta s79,- 600, in Memphis $S5,000. in Dallas S9O,000, and in Richmond s194,Oo0, in Birmingham it has been sl600o. Payday was inevitable. In spite of that parsimonious income, citizens demanded-and the city govern ment could not refuse-new fire stations, new schools. street repairs, parks, play grounds. incinerators, viaaucts, improve ments of many kinds.
 These are now-heing used and enjoyed by the citizens who asked for them.
 The commissioners ask that they be paid for.
 A vote against the bond issue means they will not be paid for.
 It probably will mean more-bank- ruptcy for the city government with a whole train of results from which the city may never recover.
 Therefore this counsel to every man who now proposes to vote against the bond issue:
 Take pains to know the facts. Be sure before you leave that you know where you will alight.'
