EMBARGO ON COTTON WILL
NOT HURT THE FARMER

Atlanta Ga, September 2l.-There
is no reason in the world for cotton
growers 70 be alarmed about the
United States Governments embar-
go against the shipment OF cotton to
certain European countries which
have been furnishing supplies to Ger
many. This is the opinion of Atlanta
bankers and bushes men who have
carefully studied the situation and
who have satisfied themselves that the
embargo will do the cotton growers
mo harm whatever.
The facts are these:
In 1916 the five countries affected
by the embargo. e., Holland, Den
mark, Norway. Sweden and Switzer-
handbook only 100000 bales OF
American cotton.
In i9l6 the total American cotton
crop consumed in this country and
sold abroad was 13,438,25l bales. The
l9l7 crop, according to estimates of
the Y. S. Department of Agriculture,
will run to a total of 12,40900O blaes.
which is 939,25l bales less than the
1916 rcop.
This shortage of the 1917 crop as
compared with the 1915 crop is more
than three times as great as the total
cotton bought last year by Holland,
Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland.
Another important factor in the Sit
uation is that American mills this
year will consume tremendous guam
hty of cotton in excess OF last years
consumption, by reason of the fact
that khaki uniforms must be manufac-
tured for nearly 100000 soldiers. and
thousands of tents must be made.
In view of these facts. Atlanta bank
ers and business men agree quite fully
with United States Senator Hoke
Smith of Georgia, who declared in a
recent speech in the Senate that there
IS no reason why the embargo should
cause decline in the price OF cotton

he is a cannoneer he can ride without the trouble of caring for horses. The science involved also appeals to an in telligent man. He must know about explosives, fuses, range, trajectory, ve- locity, and so on, and, what is more. knowledge here is fighting power.
 Nerve is an essential element in the makeup of a good cannoneer. His gun or his battery may be a target for a half dozen enemy guns or batteries. It may be the last defense of vital point, and the enemy, aware of this fact, lets loose every bolt at command in order to crush it.
 The charging enemy may flank the zone swept by shells and invade the battery, bayonet in hand, even saber and pistol. The artillerist is not arm ed for rough and tumble combat but he has sponge staff, handbar, saber and maybe shells loaded to be hurled as hand grenades. It Is a melee, a fight to the finish, and if successful, the assailants driven off, the cannon eers, the shell carriers, the drivers who rallied to save the guns, must resume action, find the new range, sight the pieces and fire "as cool as if on pa rade' or score no hits. For cannoneers mechanical training, especially in met als, Is good preparedness.
