Better Believe 1t.

ATLANTA, March 10.-The state de.
partment of agriculture has just re-
ceived an interesting letter from New
York signed by cotton Spectator,
R. B. White, who says he has a loss of
about $4,000 in cotton now, and who
writes for the purpose of pointing out
that certain Southerners who visit
New York, "do more to discredit the
present agitation in the South to re-
duce cotton acreage than any other
factor"
Mr. White says these Southerners
declare the cotton farmers pledge is
worthless and that agitation like that
now going on only urges planters to
increase their acreage at the expense
of their neighbors in other sections.
IF, however, the spinning world
could be made to believe differently of
one-third reduction becoming a fact,
cotton would advance ten cents per
pound in thirty days"
Replying to Mr.. White, Commission
er Brown points out that it would be
well for the .spinners to believe in the
purpose of farmers of the South at this
time, because they have already given
out every evidence of their intention
to carry it out He points out that
the concrete organization has been,
and is being formed, in every county
in the South, with the foremost far
mers, merchants and bankers taking
the lead, and says:
There is to be no let up in this
work. The cotton acreage record of
each individual and county is to be
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1919-03-10

made public and we will then know
who have done their bit to bring eco
nomic freedom to our cotton fields.
Long have the profteers sneered at
the Southern farmer as not having the
business sense to know how to get
his just dues. But 1 think the lowly
worm has turned and that somebody
is going to be in for the surprise of
their life.''
AS further evidence of the fact that
there will be both acreage reduction
and smaller aggregate yield this year,
it is pointed out by Commissioner
Brown that fertilizer shipments and
purchases are fully 40 per cent. less
than last year. This figure was taken
from the statement of Regional Direc-
tor B. L. Winchell, Of the railroads in
this territory. In concluding, Mr..
Brown says:
More fertilizer means more cot
ton, and less fertilizer means less cot
ton, so it does not take a Solomon to
see what this condition OF fertilizer
sales indicates"

PASTOR URGES
Use OF CARE AT
R. R. CROSSINGS

In the course of the service at the
Presbyterian church Sunday morning,
Rev. Leroy G. Henderson, D. D., min
lister, referred to a letter he had re-
ceived from S. L. Gambler, general su-
perintendent of the Central of Geor-
gia railway, in the following language:
Railroads are the great developers
of our country. They are the greatest
avenues of trade and traffic. By them
the products of field and forest, mine
and factory, get to market. 1t happens
that great many railroads in the
United States cross public highways
on the level and at these crossings in
recent years there's been numbers of
appalling automobile accidents, kill
ing many people. G. L. Gambler, gen
eral superintendent of the Central of
Georgia railway, has been much con-
cerned about these accidents and has
appealed through letters, posters and
the newspapers to automobile owners
and drivers to be more cautious; but
feeling that these appeals are not gen
orally needed, out of the earnestness
of his heart he is now writing the min
listers in his territory, asking that they
urge upon the autoists of their con-
gregations the absolute need of eau
ton. This l am glad to do, not only
because | am an autoist myself, but
because of the value of human life. The
railroad trains must operate on a
schedule and so can not always slow
down at crossing, and for this rea-
son the railroad companies ask the
autoists by a sign printed large and
posted conspicuously, to Stop, Look
and Listen In other words, slow
down whenever you approach cross
ing, look well in both directions and,
if there is no train in sight, cross
quickly, and, if your vision is hinder
ed by any obstacle, then listen as well
as look, till you are sure it IS safe
to cross. We can all do this much,
and if we will We'll protect ourselves
and help to lessen the number of acct
dents constantly occurring"
