In another column we mention the
need of soon securing or 3 pure
bred dairy bulls for our dairy COM

as much to d future dairy region
as 100 cows of the same breed. Let's
plan to get good ones.
Labor.
A week ago We believed the la
Dor situation would be solved by
the, influx of unfortunate dry
land farmers who now have very
small crops to care for. Some have
come but many fruit growers seem
to underestimate their labor needs

ducing good crop. This, with our
young man migrating to the bat
tle-field may find many ranchers
short of hired help. Hence when

Tractors.
Last spring you thought you need

men can use a tractor 10 months in

COTTON TO GO BACK TO 20
CENTS AGAIN AND STAY THERE

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. Sin spite of
tie diplomatic rupture with Germany
and the break in futures on the New
York cotton exchange, cotton is foing
back to 20 cents, and stay there, or
tEereabouts, for the simple and funda-
mental reason that the worlds de-
mands. even excluding the Central
Powers, is greater than the worlds
supply.
At least. such is the opinion Of
Fuller f. Galloway, of Lagrange.
Agricultural Commissioner J. D.
Price and other authorities on the sub
iect. vino are advising the farmers not
to become panic stricken by the pres
ent furry in the market, but to hold
all their spot cotton until the price
goes back.

On the situation;
At the meeting of the Thomas coun-

Macon Thomasville Highway associa-
ton and adopted resolutions request
ing the Georgia Highway commission
to adopt the western division of the
Dixie Highway from Macon to Thom-
asville as one of the projects to be i'm
proved during the next fiscal year. At
tention was called to the bridge over
Flint rivar between Oglethorpe and
Montezuma, and the resolutions asked
that the next allotment of federal
fUnds aid be extended to Macon county
to construct an up to date bridge over
said river.
It was resolved that the cooperation
of counties along the western division
Of the Dixie Highway be asked to pro-
vide marker at the forks of the
highway near Echeconnee creek, the
said marker to be inscribed with the
names of the towns along the road
from Fort Valley to Thomasville, to
give prominence to the Andersonxille
National cemetery, and that commit
tee of three be appointed to have
suitable design prepared and to ascer-
tain cost of construction and installa-

Gross earnings of national banks for
the past fiscal year, the report states,

$157,543,547, an increase in the latter
item of $3O,5OO,OO0 during the year.

The practice of charging exorbitant
interest rates has decreased to a
marked extent, the report states. the
number of banks charging more than
ten per cent, on the average, being
reduced in Georgia from % to Z; in
Alabama, from q to g.; in Texas, from
S17 to 1872; in North Dakota from 80 to
81: in South Dakota, from rs to 10; in
Nebraska, from IS to 6; in Oklahoma,

states are not given, but the total re-
duction throughout the country dur
ing the year is placed at nearly fifty
per cent, or from 1922 to sos.
THE trouble has not been fully rec
titled" the report says, and banks
here and there continue to disregard
the law in this respect and to exact
rates which cannot be justified on any
ground. These persistent offenders arc
being dealt with and it is hoped that in
most cases they may correct their ir-
regular and unlawful practices before
it becomes necessary for this Office to
take steps for the annulment of their
charters
