ATLANTA, June Ely R. Gala

paign of the Boy Scouts, is making
arrangements to have high power ae-
roplanes tour every section of Georgia
the week of June 814 and drop bombs
informing the citizens of the worth
Of the Boy Scouts and to add impe-
tus to the Georgia campaign.
William G. McAdoo, former secre,
tary of the treasury, who now heads
the Boy Scout movement in the ma
tional campaign, has assured Mr..
Galloway in telegram that the war
department has assured the Boy Scouts
Of every possible aid to bring about
successful results to this campaign
In New York City, Mr.. McAdoo re-
Gently had five big army aeroplanes
bomb New York and drop tons of
literature over the subway stations
and at other points where great crowd
pass. So successful was the New York
experiment that the Boy Scout cam
paigners have decided that this meth
cd in addition to being wonderful will
be one of the most effective in dis
tributing campaign literature through
out the country. The trip offered by
Mr.. McAdoo was quickly grabbed by
Mr.. Galloway who will use nothing but
up-to-date methods in putting over
the Georgia campaign.
The Boy Scout drive in Georgia will
last but one week but it will be as
furious as it is short. From early
Monday morning until midnight Satur-
day, the thousands of Boy Scouts will
work necessarily to arouse further in
t tJred in their organization, by ask
ing the fathers and mothers of young
America to rally to their cause and
support them in their achievement,
by becoming associate members of the
greatest of all boy organizations.
This campaign of national nature
is not a money making campaign"
said Mr.. Galloway. The drive will be
to further cement the bonds of friend
ship between the American boy and
his parents, the firesides to home kept
burning in a more entertaining vein by
allying the work of the Boy Scouts
with their home life, if only the faith
ers and mothers in thousands will join
the Boy Scouts and this will act as
an incentive to the boy to do even
greater things as members of their
troops, than they have done in the past
Georgia is proud of her Boy Scouts.
They have worked wonders, and, in
fairness to them it must be said they
have been tried and found to be even
better than boasted."

The recent strength in corn prices
demonstrates how effectively the
farmer can influence the market and
control prices to an extent. despite cur
rent factors which initiate against
him, by the simple expedient Of with
holding supplies. This reduction may
be voluntary and the result of move
ment openly projected or an attitude
acitly assumed by majority of farm
ers; or it may be wholly involuntary
and the result Of preOccupation with
field work, q shortage Of cars, or other
factors incident to marketing.
With the new movement toward
unity of action and stronger and more
vital organization, the farmers are
coming to realize the wisdom and vir-
tual necessity Of exercising some
measure of control over the distribu-
ton Of their product, just as do manu-
facturers and organized labor. The
one carefully avoids surfeiting the
market with commodities, while the
other seeks to provide regular and per-
manent employment for its constitu-
ents and enforcement of certain rules
The farmer has always presented
strange contrast in his headlong rush
for market once the crops are har
vested. He floods the market and
creates an unnatural and unnecessary
depression. The very weight of de-
liveries forces a recession OF price:

els who have decided to abandon Sea
Island cotton should substitute the
Meade variety and grow it in prefer
ence to all others.
The casual observer would never
suspect a field Of Meade cotton to be
anything other than an ordinary
short staple variety since the size,
shape of plant, character of leaf, size
of boil, and earliness of fruiting and
maturing are all similar to other up
land varieties. Examination of the
lint, however, shows it to be distinct
ly superior to other upland long
staple varieties such as Weber, Co.
lumbia, Dixafifi and Aliens Long
Staple, since it is longer and finer in
quality.
The premium paid for Meade cot
ton is due to the quality and length
of the staple. 1t is from p to Is
inches in length, very fine and silky
inteXture, and has a beautiful creamy
color and high luster. Farmers who
are interested in growing the Meade
cotton should write to Prof. 10y f.

New Type Cotton Produces 1925 TO
$500 Worth of Lint to Each Acre

A new type Of cotton, Meade cot
ton, producing from 1925 to $500
worth of lint per acre, Is being dis
tributed by the Georgia State Col
lege Of Agriculture and the United
States department Of agriculture to
Georgia farmers. 1t may be grown
probably in any part of the cotton
belt and when ginned on a roller gin
1t produces a yarn of equal tensil
strength of yarn, the same size, spun
from Sea Island cotton. This cotton
sold for 70 p cents per pound on the
Savannah market in 1917 and in the
same year 2,039 pounds of seed cot
ton per acre were produced on the
farm of the Georgia State College of
Agriculture in Athens. Last year the
yield at Athens was at the rate of
1,604 pounds per acre.
The earliness of Meade cotton
makes it especially adapted to the
needs of the farmer in boil weevil
sections. Reports from many sections
of the state indicate that it is Just
as early as the short staple varieties
and also resistant to cotton wilt and
black-root
A distinct advantage of this varie-
ty over Sea Island is that it can be

belt, whereas Sea Island can only be
produced over limited area. Because
