Failure Of Proper Grading

careless and Indifferent farming.
Marked differences in the. prices
paid for cotton of the same grade In

so were disclosed by the survey. Thus
middling cotton of l lie inch staple
in a certain market brought 10 cents
a pound, while middling of 1-S inch
staple at the same place and on the
same day brought only 1906 cents.
The latter cotton should have brought
one-half cent more than that Of the
shorter staple bale. Therefore, If the
l lie inch bale brought it's true value,
he other bale sold for at least $3.50
below its real value. While all var
iations observed were not as great as
this, wide differences were found in
numerous instances in every state
where investigations were conducted.
Geographical Price Variations.
inconsistencies in the valuation of
tinged and stained cotton also were
observed, the differences made in some
Cases between two bales Of cotton of
the same grade on the same market
Icing greater than the amount paid for
the cheaper bale.
The survey showed that for the same
grades the prices paid were on tho
whole considerably greater in the
eastern cotton states than in those west
OF the Mississippi. These differences,
according to the specialists, were
much greater than differences in
freight rates to mills alone would &C.
count for. The other factors in favor
of the East are belived to have been
the direct purchase by mill buyers, the
existence of good storage facilities, the
availability of relatively cheap money,
and the more general knowledge OF
grading among farmers due to longer
establishment Of cotton-growing In the
section.
The Investigators found that the pro.
ducers received an appreciable advant-

From George Washington to Wood

THE GREAT DEFICIT.

The appeal that has been made b
State Chairman John D. Walker to
the Democrats of Georgia to come t.
the assistance of the national COM
mittee in paying OF the deficit incurred
the campaign should be met with gen.
erous response.
Everyone knows now that the COM
mittee told only the plain trutH dur
ing the campaign when it gave out
statements to the effect that is work
was badly handicapped because Of
the lack of money. The deficit which
it created was made in the faith that
the rank and file of the party, who de-
sired the reelection of President Will
son above everything, would make it
good 1t is not the committeemens
fault nor the fault of the Democratic
party that money is required in bring
ing about such desired result The
opposition spent money like water,
and it had to be met in some degree,
at least. The national committee went
as far as 1t dared in spending money
which it did not have. Not to do so
might have cost the election. 1t trust
cd to the Democrats of the nation to
back them up when it came to MAX
ing up the deficit.
This is matter which every Demo-
crat should take to heart personally
y Democratic president has been re-
elected for the first time in eighty
years. Surely, from party standpoint
that was worth daring much to
achieve. And from the standpoint of
the people, the reelection of a presi
dent like Woodrow Wilson was worth
daring even more. Give the national
committee hearty slap on the back
