Labor Shortage
May Be Overcome
By M a chinery

Increasing scarcity of farm labor
and the much higher wages prevail
ing all over the south have forced
progressive cotton farmers in the
past year to pay more attention to
the use of labor-saving machinery
wherever this is possible.
The fairs which have been held
all over the south this fall, have
exhibited more farm machinery than
ever before-tractors, cultivators.
seeders, and home electrical outfits,
and they have been inspected with
more interest than they formerly
received. The farmer is becoming
more and more alive to the neces-
sity of taking advantage of machin-
cry when he can.
Of especial interest at several OF
the fairs was a new machine, a cot
ton chopper and cultivator COM
bined, which is to be manufa ctured
on a large scale in an Atlanta fac
tory by the Lanham Cotton Cultiva-
tor company. Farmers who have used
it in their own fields declare it
will do the work of from six to
eight able field hands in chop
ping cotton, as it not only chops
out the surplus plants, but bars
off" "dirts up" and cleans out the
middles, all in one operation. 1t is
drawn by one team and handled by
one man. Among those who have
used this machine and indorsed it
as a reliable and practical labor
SAVIOR, are Charles S. Barrett presi
dent OF the National Farmers I'M
ion, and H. G. Hastings, head of the
big Atlanta. seed house, and an
authority on cotton cultivation.
Mr.. Hastings pointed out in a re-
cent address that one of the great
points in fighting the boil weevil is
to give cotton an early start, plant
ing and cultivating it early in the
spring. He quoted statistics to show
that cotton which had a quick
jump-off'' lost only from 10 to IS
per cent from the boil weevil, while
that which got late start lost from
so to IS per cent.

PERSH|NC OUTLINES
MILITARY PROGRAM
FOR UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, Oct 31.-General
Pershing has declared for universal
military training.
universal training brings many
benefits, and such benefits should
be universally extended to all Of our
young men," said General Pershing
before joint meeting of the house
and senate military affairs commit
tees to outline his views on the perm
anent military poIioy of the United
States.
The program. General Pershine
declared should include
IA permanent military establish
ment large enough to provide against
sudden attack.
"A small force sufficient for
expeditionary purposes to meet our
international requirements, particu-
larly on the American continent.
3.-Forces sufficient to cope with
any internal disturbances.
A trained citizen reserve or
ganfzed to meet the emergency of
war.
A standing army of 275,O0O to 800
600 men is AMPLE for the peace-time
needs of the United States, General
Pershing declared.
Outlining the benefits, which he
believed would result from adoption
OF universal military training, Gen
eral Pershing included:
Development of physical vigor and
manhood, development Of mentality,
decrease of illiteracy, teaching OF
discipline and respect for constituted
authority, development for initiative
and better preparation for the duties
OF citizenship. This last benefit
General Pershing said, is especially
needed among aliens in America.
The y. f. F. chief recommended
that the broad powers of army re-
organization allowed the president
during wartime be continued IN
peace. This is in accord with the
general staff view.
such powers are necessary in
time Of war" he said, and would
be wise in times of peace with the
limitation that the president could
rot establish or discontinue bureaus"
General Pershing's figure for the
strength of the army is about half
that recommended by Secretary Ba-
ker and Chief of Staff March.
The number of general staff Of
ficers provided for in the arm.
is excessive, he said.
General Pershing predicted a great
future for the air service and said
that France, Great Britain and Italy
were laying stress on this phase OF
the army. He declared that the
United States would make a very
big mistake in allowing our aircraft
department to fall behind.
The development of the tank corps
should be encouraged as a perma-
nent arm of the army.
General Pershing praised the work
Of the army nurses, mad said that
"in recognition of their splendid
services" the women should be given
rank as high as second lieutenant.
Bands played a prominent part in
the army" General Pershing declar-
ed. He urged the committees to
make ample provision for this
branch.
General Pershing opposed rank for
chaplains, saying that commission
ing them took these men out of close
touch with the enlisted men.
He opposed the idea of reducing
the number of years at West Point
to three instead of four
