is proud Of such representative.
We cannot fail to express our sor-
row at the departure of Paul Cannon
from our midst He was one OF the
first to enroll and has won place
in the hearts of all, not only by his
fine recitation and noble character
but by his sunny nature. He has
gone among strangers to try his
fortune, and the good wishes of
teachers and pupils follow him. May
success in its fullest measure be his
throughout life, is our earnest wish

buggy. Will Ingram kindly drove
over to Wilson for the doctor.
Will Ingram has recently been on

ment during the past week to new
high level for the season. Although
this is due in great measure to the
confusion over the question of de-
liveries under the Lever bill, and a
natural hesitation to hedge against
the actual, it does not account for
the paucity Of spot offerings and the
advancing tendency in the price of
spot cotton. This is only one phase
of the cotton situation. AS repeatedly
pointed out in these advices for a
number of months past, notwithstand-
ing the war, basic conditions in cot
ton have be II sound and there was
every reason for expecting the ad-
vance which has taken place since
the reopening of the exchange.
The census bureaus flnal ginning
report came in for little or no com
ment 1t fixed the cotton crop Of
1914, exclusive of linters. at 15,S73,-
600 bales. Linters were placed at
772,000 bales and the average gross
weight of the bale was given as
507.2 pounds against 506.2 pounds for
1913. This report settles the size
of the crop beyond peradventure, and
hereafter it will be subordinated in
its market effect to other factors,
particularly the probable size of the
next crop, which from now on ought
to prove the most important influ-
ence in shaping values. Notwith-
standing the recent advance in pri-
ces all reports from the south streng-
then the belief in drastic acre
age curtailment. In this connection
the recent report Of the Montgomery
Advertiser on the diversifcation CAM
paign in Alabama is enlightening.
1t says that Alabama cotton planters
have determined to cut the acreage
this year to practically 40 to so per
cent of that planted last year. A
cut of this size as promised by the
first reports of the planters actually
means a reduction of about 33 1-3
per cent from normal or average
years. The Advertiser also says
that this information is gathered
from the planters themselves, mer-
chants and bankers, as well as from
men who make advances to tenants
throughout the state; it further re-
ports a startling reduction in the
use of commercial fertilizer.
In regard to consumption a new
element has developed. In the cur
rent issue of Commerce & Finance,
it is claimed that the increase in
the sale of cotton for the manufac-
ture of smOkeless powder is astound.
ing. According to this authority the
capacity of the powder plants of
America previous to this year has
called for the consumption of ap-
proximately 10000 bales of cotton.
Now, however, the Du Pont plants
alone have been so extended that
they are consuming a. the rate OF
100000 bales per annum. New plants
have been established in this country,
and the extension abroa;: acc ording
to some estimates, is putting the
consumption Of cotton for the manu-
facture of smokeless lowder between
100000 and 1,25oG0G bales. Al IN

tween supply and demand is surely
