RAISE EMBARGO
ON COTTON CROP
And Reduce Acreage-Those Points
Were Stressed At Meeting or
National Farmers Union.

Denver. Colo.-Removal of govern
ment restrictions on the marketing OF
the cotton crop and reduction in acre
age planted to cotton were urged at
the meeting of the Farmers Educa-
tional and Cooperative Union OF
America, in convention here. Speak
ers pointed out that more diversified
farming plan would aid in the develop
ment of the south, which had been
handicapped by combining farming op-
erations to cotton.
A report by the committee on cotton
and cotton products, said: :?
"Thfere have been more severe re-
strictions on cotton ever since the be-
ginning of the war than on any other
farm product. Even today there are
restrictions on the trade with our
allies.
with these facts as basis we feel
justified in asking our government to
make every effort to have these re-
strictions removed at the earliest
possible moment"
The report also advocated in the
acreage of cotton declaring that the
south had been brought to industrial
slavery by dependence upon one CROP

STATE NEWS or INTEREST
Brief News items OF important Gath
cred From All Parts
OF The State

Atlanta. Walter p. Andrews Of At
lanta, who is serving as a member Of
the special highway commission OF the
legislature, has drawn a bill calling
for constitutional amendment to
provide state system of highways,
which will be introduced at the next
session. These plans have been in
dorsed by Judge T. Il. Patterson, the
chairman of the state highway com
mission. who has prepared a compre-
hensiye analysis of the bill Here is
what Judge Patterson says: Il am
confident that when the situation is
fully understood the Andrews bill, or
one with similar provisions, will be in
dorsed, for it accomplishes what most
OF the people desire in the shortest
time possible In the first place 1t
stabilizes the highway department by
making it a part OF the constitution
and establishes a highway system that
reaches every county seat town in the
state, thus giving to each county its
just share and proportion OF these
highways BY anticipating the auto
mobile taxes under an amortization, or
bond plan, we secure sufficient funds.
when taken in connection with what is
reasonably to be expected from the
federal government, to provide for
this system and no injustice is done
to the automobile owners in each OF
the counties, for they will be securing
the benefits by having the use of the
hard-sufaced roads while they are

Big Convention or Pan-Amerlcan
AerOnauts Will Stimulate Enlist

Atlantic City, New Jersey, will be
the Mecca for large gathering Of
American men, and representatives of
foreign countries, who will be attract

nautics convention, which meets there
in May
Captain Charles A. Glidden, of the
U. 5. Air service, military aeronautics,
now stationed in the administrative
department Of the United States fly
ing school, Souther Field, Georgia.
says:
The Pan-American Aeronautics
convention and exhibition to be held
at Atlantic City during the month of
May will bring to the attention of the
American people the wonderful prog
ress of aviation. The work of air
craft during the war establishes its
practicability for commercial uses and
insures the creation in this country
of complete aerial service, connect
ing all cities and towns for the trans
portation Of persons, mail and mer-
chaudise.
Before the close of 1920 / conf
IDENTIFY predict this service will be in
full operation, with extensions to al
countries on this hemisphere. In the
United States trunk lines will be es-
tablished across the country which
will place every city and town within
six hours from some twenty-four dis
tributing points. Once created and in
operation our extensive coast line
could be put under complete protec-
ton from any possible invasion.
Thousands of college trained aviators
in and out of the service are now wait
ing to join in the operation OF an
aerial service.
The government calls for $4,000
men TO enlist in air service for one
or three years time. This is bound
to receive a quick response, as here
is an opportunity for men to be i'm
mediately assigned to duty in the ser
vice and of the number who enlist
those who pass certain examinations
will be given flying and balloon pilot
ing instruction. This liberal offer is
equivalent to one or three years
college course in aeronautics, and one
NAV become expert in all branches OF
aviation, and If qualified a non-com-
missioned or even a commissioned
officer In addition to regular pay,
clothing, quarters and rations, extra
pay begins with instructions to oper-
ate the aircraft. AS the number or
men wanted is limited to $4,000 for
the entire country quick application to
the nearest recruiting officer will be
necessary before the privilege is with
drawn.
Everybody directly pr indirectly
interested in aviation should attend
the Atlantic City convention and exhi-
bition in order to keep abreast with
the times and become familiar with
the development of aircraft for de-
Tense and commercial uses and wit

Thomasvile.-Th the place offer

airplanes is most suitable one in
every respect and large enough for
the use OF the largest planes, is the
verdict OF Lieutenant John H. Me-
Rae OF Souther Field, who has made
an inspection of it, and has reported
on it favorably. There is compare
lively little to be done to the land
chosen for the landing except to have
it smoothed over and few trees TAX
en- up, as it is very level and in good
condition. The land to be used for
this purpose is situated at the extreme
corporate limits of the town, north
of the Albany branch of the Atlantic
Coast Line and near enough in to
be reached conveniently by the pub
lie.
