Predicts Cotton Famine
Commissioner Harris Says Price
Will Rise if Staple is Held:

Columbia, June 22.-Special: That
the world is faced with a cotton FAM
inc and the farmers will get the price
OF thiry-five cents a pound set for
staple if they will just hold is the
opinion communicated by B.. Harris,
CoYm :sioner Of Agriculture, Com
merce and industries. Private reports
received from 1he- cotton belt By him,
said Mr.. Harris show that the. condi-
i.ticn Of the growing crop is extremely
poor, varying factors retardi,lg it..
This. Of course, he claims. Will have an
optimistic effect on the price CT the
staple.
In his statement Mr.. Harris said:
no need TO be alarmed about the
price Of cotton. a cotton grower was
in my Office today ard he asked me
what cotton is going to do. | told
him that cotton would do the right
thing if the people would let it. All
the farmers have to Go is to just
sit steady in the boat and hold for
the price that is set-thirty-five cents.
and they need not sell then if they
do not want to, for we have a cotton
famine and haven't enough cotton nc "
for the needs Of the world. July con-
tracts have been heavily sold and de
hveries will soon be due, and they are
Encw begging that little time be ex-

so1utely refuse to sell for less, and We

own hands. No need to give up fight

THAT long talked, of peace looks as
though It will soon be signed. l see
that cotton sold in Liverpool on the
selling here: for .fortytwo cents. Now
who is getting that difference in price?
The exporter and the middleman. That
is. just what we lost by not doing
business for ourselves. Now we should
hurry and complete our American Cot
ton Association SO that we can Or
gaarize our export cotton corporation
and get in position to do business for
ourselves.
II have just received private reports
from every cotton belt State, and the
condition Of the cotton crop has not
improved any in the last week, espe-
cially in Texas, as the report comes
from that State that there is too much
moisture and the boil weevil is re-
ported as doing greater damage than
has ever been known this early in the
season. Crops there are reported
thirty days late. 1t is impossible for
US to make anything like normal
cotton crop this year. according to the
acreage planted.

Shortage in Sugar
Little Found in Atlanta or Else
where in Georgia

Atlanta, June 23.-Wholesalers and
jobbers in Atlanta have hardly any
sugar on hand and the same situation
prevails generally throughout Geor-
gia, according TO information given
OUT here today by sugar dealers.
No more sugar is in sight, accord
ing to the dealers, who said govern
n1ent demands on the refners pre-
vented the private demand being fill
ed Prices of retail sugar have been
rising since SATURDAY. and a few retail
ers today were. reported asking as
high as 20 cents a pound. Govern
ment restrictions prevent refiners from
getting more than nine cents a pound
f. o. b. their plants, but there are no
longer any war time regulations to
govern the retailer, or to curtail do
mestic consumption, which has been
greatly increased by the canning sea-
son. Large stores of sugar are said
to be stored here in government ware
houses. but dealers said they did not
expect it would be available for the
public.

London, June .24.-Profound dis
trust Of Germany is the predomi-

the peace treaty. It is contended the
Germans proved themselves treacher-
Gus throughout the war, the lates. irl-
stance being the sinking Of the feet in
Scapa Flow, and it would therefore
be premature to celebrate peace. un-.
til the treaty is actually signed, even
afterward, it is said, the allies must
