BILLION Of COTTON
CROP STILL UNSOLD

One billion dollars worth Of unsold
cotton is in the hands OF Southern
growers. merchants. and distributors
Department Of Agriculture estimates
showed today.
Now potential wealth. this in a day
may become q debit item on thou

gers, officials said.
A drop OF cent a pound in the raw
cotton price paid at the farm means
q reduction in the value Of this crop
value of approximately 10000. 900. IL
Is estimated.
Big Acreage VFouId Cause Drop.
That explains why, officials say,
Southern cotton farmers now are try
ing to reduce the acreage OF the 1919
cotton crop to be planted soon. An
acreage equal to that planted last
year. when drought reduced the yield,
would produce a mammoth crop. Such
an acreage would Immediately upon
becoming known, jam down prices OF
cotton yet unsold and cause a wide
spread loss.
Raw cotton at the farmers gate
now brings about IS cents q pound.
Approximately 5000. 900 bales Of the
1913 crop which remains unsold 10
held mainly BY growers who have
been unable to sell II at prices they
feel will yield a fair and reason

Much IL LOGn Collateral.
Much Of this cotton has been put
up as collateral on loans made to the
growers by merchants, and local
banks These in turn have borrow
ed money on II from larger banks,
some Of them in New York. Should
the pyramid be upset at the bottom.
not only Southern farmers and local
Southern merchants. would be dis
turbed, but the disturbance would be
felt in New York as well, economists
predict.
Nearly 100000 farmers. holding at
least five acres each, grow cotton,
Agriculture Department figures show.
A large number OF them will share in

EXTRA WEAR
FROM SHOES

"a year ago | had my shoes re-
soled with Ne6lin Soles. The soles
are still in service, and it looks as If
/ would not be able TO wear them out,
because the uppers are going first,
said w. c. Dickinson, Of New Haven,
Conn.
Good repair shops everywhere carry
these tough and durable soles. See
for yourself how long they last by
having them put on pair of old shoes.
Or if you are in need of new shoes, buy
them with Ne6lin Soles. They cost
no more than shoes that give less
wear, and you need fewer pairs. They
come in many styles for mea, women,
and children.
Neolin Soles are created by Science
to be comfortable and waterproof, as
we'll as long-wearing. They are made
by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,

A New Years
Fishing Trip

Yesterday, W. c. Worrell; proprie-
tor Of the Split Nickel; 'Chas. Brown,
of the L. D. Vinson store; Harry
Jukes, of the Tarpon Grocery; Ch.
Themelis, and Father Stelides of the
Greek Catholic church, chartered Capt.
John Boyer's boat, and with Captain
Boyer in charge, left at 1 p. m. for
the fishing grounds about l 1-2 miles
southwest of Anclote light.
1t was a fine day for fishing, as re-
suits will show. The party landed
fish until they were tired, both the
fish and the fishermen. 1t took them
an hour to reach the fishing grounds,
where they anchored and fished from
2 to 4 o'clock, never once changing
their anchorage. During that time
they caught 400 black fish ranging in
size from IL pound to pounds each.
The bait was good and the fish were
out for their New Years dinner They
had undoubtedly read the local ads
in The Leader and mistook the party
for a delegation from the American
Cafeteria or New York restaurant.
Charley Brown says they were so
greedy that he caught three fish 08,
two hooks at one cast. We believe
Geurley-Logan keep those hooks for
sale. But, honestly, laying all jokes
aside, the statements herein contain
ed are those of facts. If we can't ac-
eept all that has been stated, we can
verify it. Surely no one would believe
that Oh. Themelis or Father Stelides
would become so excited as to forget
how to count.
The fishing out there is good. w.
C, Worrell says that they focked after
the boat when it started to return,
begging them to remain and catch
some more: They even tried to jump
in the boat and shout "Kamerad."
