ATLANTA BANKERS BELIEVE
COTTON WORTH Is CENTS

Atlanta. October That cotton is
worth at least Is cents pound, and
that farmers would probably get as
high as so cents pound if they held
it for that, is the opinion of Atlanta
bankers and cotton men who have
made close study of the situation.
The market bureau OF the state de-
partment of agriculture recently ad-
vised the farmers to hold their cot
ton Tor not less than Is cents a pound
and the soundneSs of that advice is
proven by the fact that spot cotton
has been hanging around the Is cents
marks almost constantly for several
weeks
l.. B. Jackson, head OF the market
bureau, sees in this years large pro-
duction of food and feed crops. back
ed by an almost normal crop of cot
ton made at almost normal cost. an
opportunity for the greatest prosper
ity the farmers OF Georgia have ever
enjoyed
With smaller proportion OF foods
and feeds being imported into Geor-
gia than ever before, and with good
cotton crop selling around rs cents,
there is no reason in the world WHY
the Georgia farmer shouldn't pay all
his bills. buy himself an automobile
and put money in the bank.

Analyses of the two concentrates

V. b. Meal (HulIs)-Nitrogen 81

34.4 lbs.
1t viii be seen that there is not
much difference in the potash content
Of the two concentrates, and SO this
will not be considered in comparing
the value of the fertilzing constitu
ents
Commercial nitrogen is worth al
| least p cents a pound and availSble
| phosphoric acid cents a pound. Fig
uring the relative values of the two
concentrates with nitrogen and phos
| phoric acid bringing the values named
above, we find that ton of cotton
seed meal is worth $14.55 more thar
"a ton of beans ground without the
hull and $19.5S more than a tor
ground with the hulls for fertilizins
purposes.
1t is safe to say that velvet beans
will not supplant cotton seed meal a:
the standard concentrate, but, since
the demand for concentrates is SO
much greater than the supply, the bear
may prove very valuable adjunct
| This article simply calls attention t.
the relative values Of the two concen
trates for feeding and fertilizing anC
the prices which the farmer can af
ford to pay for them.

Velvet beans were grown in Geor-
gia in commercial way for the first
time last year when thousands of
acres were planted in corn. A con
siderable quantity of beans was thus
rendered available for feeding pur-
poses Owing to the high cost of fer
tiliZing material some attention has
been given to their value for this pur-
pose. In this article the merits of
the two crops along the lines indicated
will be compared.
A ton of choice cotton seed meal
contains 81 per cent of digeStible pro
tein, 21.S per cent of digestible car
bohydrates and SO per cent of fat
Therefore, ton of choice cotton seed
meal contains just about twice as
much digestibe protein as ton of
velvet bean seed with the hulls re.
moved. The beans, however, contain
much higher percentage of carbohy
drates and a little more than half as
much fat as cotton seed meal. The
carbohydrate content does not advan
tage the beans as there is a super
abundance of this material suppl cd
cheaply on almost every farm
1t is protein, the important muscle
nerve and tissue building element
which the farmer must supply. Fol
this purpose cotton seed meal is about
twice as valuable as velvet beans and
will go about twice as far when com
bined with other grain feeds. AS {
result of careful study of the merits
of these two concentrates it seems
that one could afford to pay abou
twice as much for the grade of cottoI
seed meal under discussion as for vel
vet beans.

1t was opened almost Immediately
by a tall. very blonde young woman
who smiled and asked them to come
in. Helen had never been in one
room studio before, nor for that
matter had Lulu Holmes. That is,
a room where two people ate, slept
and had slanting skylight in it.
There were two large couches and
the place looked very cosy with
few pieces of good pottery and q
charming color scheme of old blue.
You are Queenie Hunt" said
Mrs. Holmes.
YES" the girl responded, and
then a dawning smile of compre-
hension came over her face. You

Holmes, dropping into chair and
tanning herself. My dear child,
what an awful climb it is up those
stairs"

she talked so eagerly TO Mrs. Holmes

poor Lulu almost gasped for breath

Mrs. Holmes looked at Helen and
they both broke into peals of laugh

and we were almost certain of not
having success, but the very first per-

That's just the way it is down

eyes, gradually rendered the lovers
less cautious in their arrangements
De Spain, naturally reckless, had
won in Nan a girl handy more con-
cerned. Self-reliant, both of them,
and instinctively vigilant, they spent
so much time together that Scott
and Lefever, who. before a fort
night had passed after Dukes re-
turn home, surmised that De Spain
must be carrying on some sort of a
clandestine affair limiting toward the
gap. only questioned how long it
would be before something happen

here with the horses. He will lose

reaches the rock I'll go down and

But with an instinct better than
knowledge, Sassoon, like a wolf
scenting danger, stopped again. He
scanned the broken and forbidding
hump in front, now less than a quar-
ter of a mile from him, questioning
ly. His eyes seemed to rove in
quisitively over the lava pile as if
asking why a Morgan Gap pony had
visited it. In another moment he
wheeled his horse and spurred rap
idly after his companions.
The two drew a deep breath. De
Spain laughed. what we don't

to him. Holding the rifle muzzle at
arms length as the butt rested on
the ground, she looked up from the
shoulder to which she was drawn.

There wouldn't have been any

Suppose the others had come"

know, you fit into my arm as If you

His courage was contagious. When
he had tired her with fresh importu-
mites he unpinned her felt hat and
held it out of reach while he kissed
and toyed with and ,disarranged her
hair. In revenge, she snatched from
his pocket his little black mem oran-
dunn book and some letters and read
or pretended to read them, and
sending her opportunity she broke
from him and ran with the utmost
fieetness up into the rocks.
In two minutes they had forgot
ten the episode almost as COM
pletely as if it never had been. But
when they left for home they agreed
they would not meet there again.
They knew that Sassoon, like a

They could hardly slip from their
saddles fast enough to reach each
others arms-Nan, trim as a model
in fresh khaki, trying with a hand
kerchief hardly larger than a post
age stamp to wipe the fiecks of dust
from her pink cheeks, while De
Spain, between dubs, covered them
with importunate greetings. Look
ing engrossed into each others eyes,
and both, in their eagerness, talking
at once, they led their horses into
hiding and sat down to try to tell all
that had happened since their part
ing. Wars and rumors of wars, feuds
and raidings, fights and pursuits,
were no more to them than to babes
in the woods. All that mattered to
them-sitting or pacing together and
absorbed, in the path of the long
cold volcanic stream buried in the
shifting sands of the desert-was that
they should clasp each others cling
ing hands, listen each to the others
answering voice, look unrestrained
into each others eyes.
They met in both the lava beds
the upper lay between the gap and
town-more than once. And one day
came a scare. They were sitting on
a little ledge well up in the rocks
where De Spain could overlook the
trail east and west, and were talking
about a bungalow some day to be in
Sleepy Cat, when they saw men rid
ing from the west toward Calabasas.
There were three in the party, one
tagging we'll behind. The two men
leading, Nan and De Spain made out
to be Gale Morgan and Page. They
saw the man coming on behind stop
his horse and lean forward, his head
bent over the trail. He was eXamin-
ing the sand and halted quite a min
ute to study something. Both knew
what he was studying-t the hoof-
prints of Mans pony heading toward
the lava. Nan shrank back and with
De Spain moved little to where
they could watch the intruder with
out being seen. Nan whispered first
ITS Sassoon." De Spain nodded.
What shall we do?" breathed Nan.
Nothing yet" returned her lover,
watching the horseman, whose eyes
were still fixed on the pony's trail,
but who was now less than a half
mile away and riding straight to-
ward them.
De Spain, his eyes on the danger
and his hand laid behind Mans
waist, led the way guardedly down to
