A W6RD ABOUT CROPS
IN THIS SECTION

Crop prospects through this section
are good, at the same time if the in
sessant rains of the past few days con-
tinues. the final outcome will be rath
er conjectural Especially is this true
o. cotton, it being naturally dry
weather plant.
Too much rain will cause the forms
to drop off, besides a new crop OF
grass will come up and take from the
plant a large percent of the fertilizer
put around it, to say nothing of the
handicap in gathering the crop at
maturity.
There is one good thing howevc-
that can be said in connection will
the present crop and that is that the
fields were comparatively free Of
weeds and grass when the rain set in.
So that if even the rains continue for
length of time the vegetation other
than the cotton plant itself will hardly
grow sufficient to interfere materially
with the yield unless the cotton is
very small and doesn't shade the
ground enough to keep the grass from
growing.
Until the recent rains everything
has been favorable for the farmer, es-
pecially as pertains to the cultivation
OF his crops, hence it is now hoped the
conditions will soon change from what
they are, and that he will yet secure.
the reward that he has strived so dill
ieently for and which seemed SO pro-
nounced a few weeks ago.

GEORGIA ABLE To

WASHINGTON, D. c., July How
many able-bodied citizens of military
age have we in the United States?
The Bureau OF the Census, while it
is unable to make any estimate of the
proportion who are able-bodied, esti-
mates the total number of male citi-
zens and prospective citizens-that is,
foreign-born persons who have de-
clared their intention to become citi-
zens-18 to As years Of age, inclusive,
is not far from 21,OOo,OOO
(, This estimate is based on the as
sumption that there has been an in
crease of approximately 10 per cent in
the population of the country since
the census Of 1910. When the census
was taken the total number of male
citizens and prospective citizens Is
years of age and over but under As
was 19,1S3,O00. OF this number, a.
224,000 were native whites, 2,S57, 900
we're foreign-born whites who had
become naturalized or had declared
their intention of doing so, 2,052, 900
were negroes, and $4,000 were Indi-
ans. The number of foreign-born cit
izens is partially an estimate, since
the census enumerators were able tc
obtain information as to citizenship
form only about seven-eights of the
total number of foreign born males.
Native whites thus represents about
rs per cent of the total, forefgn-b born
whites nearly Is per cent. Negroes
nearly II per cent, and Indians about
tliree-tenths of 1 per cent.
During the civil war, when the pop
ulation Of the country, exclusive ot
the seeding states, was less than
one-fourth as great as the present
population Of the entire United States,
the total number of men serving in
the Federal armies at one time and
another was approximately 2.5OO,OO9
(due allowance being made for dupli-
cate enlistments, that is, cases in
which men enlisted more than oncel.
The following table gives, by states,
the total number of males 18 to As
years of age enumerated at the census
of 1910. The figures in this table in
clude approximately 1,796,000 alien
whites ard $4,000 Chinese, japanese,
and others, together representing
about 8 per cent of the total, who
would be ineligible for military ser
vice. The Census Bureau has not
compiled the numbers of these class
les of the population, within the given
age limits who were living in each
state in 1910. Taking the country as
a whole, however the probable in
crease in population between 1910 and
1916 will approximately counterbal-
ance the number of alien whites,
Chinese, Japanese, etc., included in
the figures for 1910, so that these fig
ures may be accepted as roughly rep
.resenting the number of male citizens
and prospective citizens Is to As years
OF age, inclusive, in each state and in
the United States in 1916.
The total number Of males in the
south between tae ages of 1s and As
years is 6,OO6,139, Of which O7,sSs
are in the state o.. Georgia. The tots
for the north is 1S,O94,615, and for the
west is 1,97O,S22 The aggregate for
ths United States IS 21,O71.O-s.
