price, an investigation as to the cost
of producing cotton showed that the
price of middling cotton with rea-
sonable profit to the producer, should
be So to 81 cents pound.
"When these facts were disclosed
by the investigation, the price fixing
board announced that they were
hands off, and that cotton would be
left to the law of supply and demand.
In the face of this statement, the
war industries board as resolved in
to purchasing agency for the bene-
fit of the Allied Nations. AS the
Allies were the only ones outside of
the American spinners who could pur-
chase cotton, competition was i'm
mediately destroyed.
.The promise that cotton would not
be interfered with was further cloud
ed by the licensing for exports as
we'll as the statement that if cotton
rose to an unreasonable price legis-
lation would be asked to put 1t under
the control of the food administra-
ton.
''These conditions, together with
subsequent embargoes, destroyed the
cot,vn market. Speculaii,'.1 was elm
mated by. reason of the uncertain
ty of the attitude of the government.
Spinners and manufacturers would
only buy their running supplies,
Hence the market became congested
and rapidly declined to a price far
below the cost of production.
"About this time there was lnaug-
urated the great holding movement
NV the Southern States. This was
practical and necessary for the rea-
son that the banking and financial
interests of the South had underwent
fen or loaned millions on 30 and 81
cents cotton; and to have sold at the
market of IS to 20 cents, would nave
meant bankruptcy to many Oh Vne
best farmers of the South.
s'The farmers, backed by great II
nancial and business interests OF the
South. were in position to hold their
cotton and the result is that IN less
han si> mo-: h. cotton has orl1teo
back to its former level OF 80 and
SO cents.
"The unsettled conditions OF com
merce as well as peace still leave the
cotton industry threatened by dlsas-
ter. This can only be averted by
perfecting an organization to assist
the producer and others in keeping
it off the market. Thorough and
efficient financial institutions may be
in position to lend the needed as
sistance. In no other way can 1t be

cultural States of the Union, but it

MAJ NJ Stanley, Commissioner of

The cotton, consumed in 1918 was
353, 726,779 pounds against 400, 416,-
1877 in 1917. The cost of manu-
facture in 1918 was $112,265, 474.35
compared with $1O2,992,982.O3 in
1917, an increase of 9 per cent. AL
though the quantity of cotton con
sumed was smaller, the grade was
better and this fact added to the
value. Thus the total value of the
manufactured products in 1917 was
$147,405,132.33 and in 1918 they
amounted to S190,626, 673.17, a gain
of 20 per cent.
The cotton oil mills are among the
most important of the manufactures
of Georgia, and like the textile mills,
depend for prosperity upon the cot
ton crop. They have made ,he cot
ton seed one of the most useful
products of the cotton crop. From
the crushed seed comes the crude
oil from which is obtained a refined
oil that is considered by many equal
to the best olive oil of France. From
the cotton oil comes also a product
which constitutes a large part of
some very popular compound lards.
Other articles useful in cooking are
derived from the oil Of the cotton
seed. The meal and cake are used
extensively as feed for cattle. Up
to July 81, 1918, the cotton oil mills
of Georgia had crushed 764,457 tons
of seed at an average Of $71.8S a
ton or total cost of S54, 949, 1915,
from which were obtained 32,599,000
gallons of crude oil valued at
$40,781,000; 100000 tons of
cake and meal valued t
$16,273,O00; 10000 tons of hulls,
valued at S3,052,OO0; and 10000
5O0-pound bales of linters, valued at
$4,806,000, the grand total of all
these values amounting to $64,912,-
600. From August l, 1917, to Jan
uary 81, 1918, there had been
crushed at the Georgia mills 461 AIS
tons and from August /, 1918, to
January 81, 1919, the amount
crushed reaches 467, 658 tons, slight
increase so far over the. season of
1917-1918. The capital invested in
these mills for the year ending De
cember 81, 1918, was S23, 100000.
This is exclusive of the value of raw
material.
Of 308 fertilizer factories and
mixing plants in Georgia two hundred
forty-eight were in operation dur
ing the year ending December 81,
1918. The capital invested approx
mated S48,00O,00O. About 1915, 900
was spent for repairs and new ma
chinery, and $36,OO0,000 spent for
raw materials, making total of
S36,375,000 total expense exclusive
of the amount paid employees, clerks
and officials, approximating $4,000
600. There were sold 923, 020 tons
of fertilizers at S47.50 a ton, or
$43,843,450 as the value Of manu-
featured products.

Efficient invention of a Georgia far-

An Americas man who attended q
convention of Rotarians in Columbus
Wednesday is keen observer Oh
road conditions, and on his return
bora he commented upon the condl-
tion Of the highways in Sumter
Webster, Stewart, Chattahoochee
and Naseogee Counties, through
which the party passed. None OIL
these counties have highways equal
to those Of Sumter in dry weather;
few, indeed, are the graded highways
to be found in any of them, but
the use of the road drag keeps what
semblance of roads as exist there
in fine order, according to this
Americas Rotarian. In Muscogee
COUNTY the roads are better than IN

but looking out from train windows

And roads that look good are good.
1t is just as impossible to hide mud
hole in the road from the eye OF a
keen observer as it is to avoid fall
ing into such an abyss in trevellng
over the same road in an automobile.
The one great purpose of the
ROAD DRAG is to prevent the for
nation of these mud holes, and to
fill them before they make themsel-
yes evident; to fill in the ruts and
round up the crowd on the dirt road
The time to use the ROAD DRAG
is after each and every rain, and ii
has even been asserted that roads
dragged regularly need have no 9th,

section have adopted the policy OF
using the road drag regularly anC
persistentlN and it occurs to us that
such a policy should be quickly
adopted by Sumter's Commissioners
There can be no doubt that regular
dragging of the roads of the county
will result in their condition being
greatly improved, and through the
adoption of such a policy much sub
sequent regarding and heavy repair
