NOTES

Items below refer to above tabu-
lation, the corresponding letters in
dicating their specific application:
A. September 25th forecast by U. S.
Bureau of Crop Estimates indi-
Gated a yield of 100000 bales.
Reduction of 10000 bales made
for deterioration since. Sea Is
lands, though now selling at over
seventy cents per pound, counted
as upland cotton. The Sea Island
crop, of perhaps $4,000 bales, is
alone worth about twenty million
dollars. Twenty-Five cents per
pound regarded as very conserva-
tive, seeing the present price ex-
ceeds twenty eight cents and that
the trend is upward.
B. Yields and prices are as indicat-
ed for Georgia by the November
report of the U. S. Bureau of Crop
Estimates.
C. One-half ton of seed allowed per
bale of cotton. Price $1,000 per
ton very conservative. Seed now
selling for more than $4,000 per
ton in many Georgia towns.
D. The U. S. Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates indicates an acreage of l.
250,000 in velvet beans, 100000
acres in peanuts, and 100000
acres in cowpeas. In the above
estimates, the yield for peanuts
is assumed to be 80 bushels per
acre, three-fourths ton per acre
for velvet beans, and six bushels
per acre of cowpeas.
E. Yield forcasted by U. S. Bureau
of Crop Estimates.
F. Yield indicated by U. S. Bureau
of Crop Estimates. The Georgia
Fruit Exchange advises that the
peach crop was marketed at an
average Of $1.75 per crate of three
pecks, F. o. B. shipping points, and
that very little waste attended the
handling of the crop.
G. Yield indicated by U. S. Bureau
of Crop Estimates, which gives
$1,000 as farm price of tame hay
in Georgia. Reduction of one dol
lar allowed to cover slight produc-
tion of wild hay, of inferior com
mercial value,
H. Georgia's Irish potato crop ma
tured early and was marketed at
very high prices. Crop report by
y. S. Bureau of Crop Estimates
for May indicated value of
$2.99 per bushel for the U. S.
/. Yield and price as indicated by u.
S. Bureau of Crop Estimates, the
price being applicable to the u. S.
as a whole.
j. This item includes tobacco, pears
rye, watermelons, cantaloupes,
sugar crops, flowers and nursery
products, small fruits, honey and
wax, grapes, nuts and tropical
fruits, and other vegetables and
truck crops, which had an aggre-
gate value of $13,441 900 in 1916
as estimated by DR.. Andrew NJ.
Soule, President of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture, and
shown in bulletin, special circular
1, November, 1916. An increase
of 33 1-3 per cent allowed, which
is considered very conservative. 1t
is known that the production of
sorghum cane and garden crops
have been wonderfully increased
this year.
K. The value of Georgia's animal
products sold in 1916, according
to the publication by DR.. Soule re
ferred to above, was $37,025,OO0
The estimate given above involv-
es an increase of only 33 1-3 per
cent, which is regarded as most

We have couple of ladies in our

how one of them could do without the

chicken coop, remodel the hog pen,
or something in the carpenter line.
But now they have dug them flower
pit and made doors for it all by
themselves, and their flowers are
growing nicely. They say they might
as well begin sooner as later, for they
don't know how soon their men folks
may go to war. But one of them
says what is worrying her most is,
when she moves she don't know how
she will carry her part of the flow
er pit.

The first battle of the war was
staged Sunday afternoon between
one of the officers training camp
boys and an Abilene man. The young
officer resented some remarks and
invited the other to a garage where
he proceeded to business. The TT.
Riley boy took 10 trench lines, four
forts and three barbados in 2h

All married men will be exempt
on the first draft. They must regis
ter, however, and be subject to sery-
ice when more men are needed.
There will be no wholesale indus
trial exemptions by specified classes
or occupations. While many details
OF the operation of the system by
which Y million men between the
ages of p and 81 out of the nearly
10 million men who register June
will be picked for the army are
still to be formulated, the two
points mentioned above have been
settled. The two questions of ex
enption of men with dependents and
those needed in industrial work at
home have proved the most difficult
to work out in a way to secure any.
thing like even handed justice in
operation. The difficulty, it is stat
ed, of determining whether or not
3 married man was actually needed
to support his family at home was
the consideration that finally deter
mined the officials to exempt all
married men. AS to the men with
other dependent relatives, such as
an aged mother or father, the de-
eision will be up to the local county
or city board with final decision. in
case of appeal, resting with a dis
trict federal board. Appeal from the
