DON'T RUSH COTTON
TO GIN, DR.. SOULE
FARMERS

The cotton planters of Georgia have
been urged by Dr. Andrew NJ. Soule, fed
eral food administrator for Georgia, TO
refrain from rushing their cotton TO the
gin at this time. since the poor condi-
ton of the seed and the inability Of the
mills to operate at full capacity is bring
ing about a considerable waste in cot
ton seed products.
A statement was issued Saturday out
lining the situation as follows:
Or. Andrew NJ. Soule having received
information from various sections OF
the state that the farmers are unable, an
many instances, to promptly dispose OF
their cotton seed, after bringing same
to market, has. through his various
county organizations made diligent in
uuiry into the situation, and IT develops
that due to the high percentage OF mols-
ture in the seed which prevents the
mills from storing in large quantities
and also to the fact that the mills are
unable to obtain labor to run their
plants at full capacity, they are not buy
ing or crushing seed in as large quaint
ties as the capacity of the plant would
permit
Another cause for congestion is that
the mills operating in the district wher1
they are dependent upon electric ener
CIV for their power, are unable TO get
mower to operate their plants, due TO thf
lack Of rain in the territory where this
hydro-electric power is furnished. TIE
farmers are requested not to rush thelI
cotton to the gin until the condition OF
the seed become better and labor cond!-
lions are improved. for the seed viii

/ United States Senator Hoke Smith by
; Edgar Watkins, prominent Atlanta at
torney.
According to Mr.. watkins. wages in
every enterprise yield so much more

population as well as the farmer SUI
fers when farms are left uncultivated,
the farmer should be encouraged by
good prices that there will be no in

Following is a copy of the letter writ

Atlanta, Ga. September 81, 1915.
Hon. Hoke Smith,
Washington, d. e.
Dear Senator: While l know that
YOU are doing everything possible TO
protect your constituents, ii may be
that il will aid you to be furnished
with facts revelant to the question of
fixing the price on cotton. Personally
| believe. that instead of limiting the
price of cotton, that it would promote
The great enterprise of war in which
we are all Loyalty engaged, if the gov
eminent would guarantee the farmer u
fair price. This is true because wages
in every enterprise yield so much more
than the farmer can make, even at the
present price, that many have left and
others are leaving the farms for these
more profitable businesses.
When the farms are left unculti-
waited, as many are now in Georgia,
production is decreased and the nation,
and city population suffers. The farm
er should be so encouraged by good
prices that there will be no inducements
10 get into other work.
IF, however. it is determined that
the price shall be fixed on cotton. 1t
would be disastrous to fix a price less
than current prices. l have been
throughout the larger part of the farm
ing section of Georgia; crops in many
places are poor; everything that has
entered into the cost OF making the
crop has been high. Unless at least
the current prices are obtained the
farmer will lose on his present crop.
Loss to the farmer means loss to the
local merchant and bank, loss to the
larger merchant and bank and loss To
the whole country.
81 can conceive Of nothing that
would hurt the country more than the
fixing Of the price of cotton, which
would yield less than the cost of pro-
duction plus a fair return to the pro-
Queer. Farmers are loyalty supporting
the government and they should be per

other classes are earning.
Il write you this not because it is
| necessary to obtain your active assist
ance in this work, but with the hope
that the facts herein stated may aid you
in your present efforts.
Very truly yours,
EDGAR WATKINS.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2l-The goal Of
.. OOO. 900 American fighters overseas by
fall is now within easy reach.
News that the nation had turned into
the home stretch was forthcoming to-
day from Chief of Staff March. who tod
the press we mad embarked more than
! 10000 to date.
With such tremendous force already
shipped and the next quarter of a mil
lion only matter of few weeks, some
attention is being given 20 the forma-
ton Of the second field army. The first
army of 900, 900 men has already been
organized. with General Pershing it's
leader At last reports, the United
states force in France was nearly 100
per cent distinctively American, and the
process OF brigading with French and
British was about at an end.
one of the two armies is likely to be
an army of mobile reserve-ready for
duty anywhere that the generalfssimo,
Foch. may direct. And, with plans for
getting between 1000, 900 and 100000
more over by June next year it be-
comes increasingly evident that the
Boche will be so far outnumbered that
the 1919 victory predictions will be-
come certainties.
Foch's Game
Foch. now is playing a strongly effec-
tive game of Furnishing the Boche anu
his allies in several quarters at once,
so that he will have no chance to strip
the east for supplying the west. Ger
man man power in the west is manifest
ly on the wane. The slaughter has
been enormous since March 81. when the
allies sent out their frenZied appeals
for American troops with all possible
haste.
Todays announcement marks an
achievement in troop transportation
which army officers a year ago would
unhesitatingly have called impossible.
General March labeled the weeks war
developments for the allies continual

He pictured the American line in Lor-
raine as quickly stabilized, while the
German had been "hurriedly strength
ening his line of defense, the so-called
