had died in the sanguinary fighting which had taken place over this ground. In places where still re- mains of German dugouts, could be seen, for the enemy had held this territory at one time, grass was growing over all this waste but the green carpet could not conceal the myriad of mounds that marked the lips of great shell craters which loitted the entire zone. The officer returned from his contemplative gaze to the conversation, and answered:
 Not Like CoEan's Corner.
 ''Well it is not exactly the same here as Forty Second street and Broadway, but we didn't come out looking for the Great White Way We are here for business. and We lil5e it partly for itself and partly because we ought to like it. We want to do our bit and we are moro anxious to do it than ever before.
 "I think that some of our boys who have crept up and stolen look at the fighting lines have been q little disappointed in a way. Of course, they read of what it was like over here
  to see banners flying on the battle field and not to witness troops moving out in the open. But they all arc tremendously impressed With things in general. They realize more than they did what vast business this is, and they are all anxious to do a bigger part.
 ''The health of the camp is ex- cellent and the men are as hard as nails. We all are ready for the call to real action."
 The Americn quarters are very simple. One officer proudly displayed quarters that he had built out of air plane wings which had been discarded by the British and had been presented to him by colonel. It was an in- Seniously constructed little house and certainly made of unique material.

CORN AND COTTON
CROPS VERY GOOD
EMBARGO, HOWEVER, WILL
TEND TO HOLD DOWN ALL
FOOD PRICES.
BY ellison Gardner.

Washington, Sep. 15.-Crul re
pets are the most encouraging fea-
OF the business situation. The
small grains are now harvested and
the corn crop is practically assured.
The latter is to make a crop larger
than the record by 3,G00l,o00 bushels
and larger than last years record by
100000 bushels. This vii help the
feed situation and eventually make
for cheaper meat.
Wheat is turning out better than
expected. as it cones from the thrcsn
ign machines. Oats is a tremendous
crop, fine of quality; end beth barley
and rye are excellent.
According to agricultural reports
potatoes, beans, garden pro 3ucts and
fruits will be more abundant than
ever in the history OF the country.
The pack of all kinds O. canned and
dried fruits will be much larger than
usual.
The new crop is selling az ap-
proNimately $1.0S per pusnel for De-
cember delivery Old corn in Chica-
SO has sold as low as SO cents per
bashel and as high as $3.50 per lush
ell.
The meat situation is less cncour-
.ng. A conference was called By
Secretary Houston in Washington
this week to consider ways and
means for averting meat famine.
The high price of all meats is draw
ing to the slaughter houses young
animals and females which should be
kept for fattening or breeding.
In the present scarcity OF meat,
lamb should be permitted to grow
into sheep and ewes should be kept
for breeding purposes.
TIE egg supply is threatened in
like manner by the high prices cffor-
ed for dead chickens. This brin.s
the pulets to the table when they
should be permitted to lay eggs.
1t is certain that ell meats will be
higher for some time. The price of
feed has also resulted in the prema-
ture killing of both poultry and
meat animals
Lamb is still retailing at so cents
pound for the choice cuts, as is also
ca YES liver.
Hogs have sold UP to $40 Per hun
dredweight at the Chicago yards
but the price has recently gone down
to SIS. Where the Chicago pack
ers normally received 100000 a day
the are now receiving between 1000
and 1000. It is a rare day when 5000
hogs are brought in.

MARKET BUREAU URGES
HOLDING OF COTTON
COMPARATIVE FIGURES SHOW
COTTON WORTH 20 CENTS. A
PoUND-INTEREsTiNG LETTER
TO FARMERS.

Atlanta, Ca Sept. 18.-Director
L. B. Jackson of the Georgia State
Market Bureau has made special
investigation into the subject of the
prevailing price of cotton and finds
that there is no apparent reason why
the price should be as low as it is to-
day.
Statistics show that within the
past twelve months consumption has
exhausted production by over three
million bales, which was provided for
only by the big surplus of 1914. The
government estimate for 1917 Mr..
Jackson points out, shows that there
will be short crop, and there is
every indication that the surplus will
be exhausted.
Comparing the price of cotton with
the price of wheat, Mr.. Jackson
shows that where wheat sells at $500
Per bushel, the price fixed by Presi-
dent Wilson, cotton ought to sell at
29c per pound. This is arrived at by
a comparison of the prices Of wheat
and cotton covering long period of
years.
For this reason, the State Market
Bureau urges farmers all over Geor~
gia to hold their cotton and no to let
it 20 at prevailing prices. In his
presentation of the subject urging
the farmers of Georgia to hold their
cotton for better prices than those
now prevailing, Mr.. Jackson says:
During the past ten years the
price of cotton has averaged II
cents, and wheat 81 cents per bushel,
On this basis, 90 wheat is equivalent
to $3.50 wheat is equal to Csc cot
ton. The comparative prices Of the
two for the ten year period have
been:
