four years; that practically one mil
lion bales Of cotton, including raw
cotton and cotton goods, was sunk
or destroyed by the war in other
ways; that an enormous amount of
cotton was consumed for raw mate
rial; that Europe is to-day shorter
OF raw cotton and manufactured cot
ton goods than in the last fifty years.
We unhesitatingly state, as a result
Of confidential information secured
by us in our investigation in Eu-
rope, that financial arrangements
will be made which will enable Eu-
rope to purchase sufficient cotton to
supply her pressing needs. 1t has
been estimated by those who are
handling the situation that it will
require at least twelve million bales
of cotton from August ], 1919, to
August I, 1920, to supply these
needs
1--WE further find that Japan is pre-
pairing to make an increase in the
handling OF American cotton. and
that as a result of thorough inyes-
tigation we are convinced that Japan
will take, from August |, 1919, to
August |. 1920, around a million
and Il half bales Of cotton, provided
she can get this quantity.
I'VE further find that the Ameri-
can mills, regardless Of the fact that
they showed stupendous earnings
during the war period, are facing
even greater period of prosperity,
and that their needs for raw cotton
for the year commencing August /
1919, and closing August | 1920,
will exceed any record Of the past.
AS result Of these conditions,
and as result Of investigations by
leading experts, we find that there
will be an enormous shortage of raw
cotton; that in addition to the enor-
nous demands, and the short sup
ply, the imitation OF the currency will
play tremendous part in increasing
the price Of cotton the same as it
has done for other commodities.
1--WE also find that raw cotton to-
day is being purchased far below a
reasonable price Of the manufactured
products, and based on above condi-
uons. 1t is the unanimous opinion
Of both our committee and the board
Of experts that, as result Of the above
conditions, raw cotton will sell at a
price above the highest price it has
reached since the commencement of
the war, and probably as high as any
price it has ever touched since the
War Between the States.
1--WE further urge that the Ameri-
can Cotton Association use every ef-
fort to induce the producer to ware
house his cotton and protect it
against damage, and urge that un-
der no condition. he dispose of a
pound Of his cotton until 1t has
reached the price justified by above

NEED TWELVE MILLION BALES.
That Is Estimate by Committee on
Supply and Demand.

Columbia, July 9.-That 1t will
require at least 100000 bales of
tee on supply and demand at the
August l, 1919, to August /, 1920,
is the estimate made by the commit
tee on supply and demand at the
meeting of the directors Of the Amer
lean Cotton Association at New Or
leans on Thursday. The report de-
clares that the amount of cotton pro-
'uced in America the last four years
lacked 100000 bales of supplying
the demand by the mills.
1t is declared by the committee
that Europe consumed nearly &c.
100000 more bales Of cotton dur
ing the last four years than she con-
sumed in the previous four years,
and that Europe is to-day shorter Of
raw cotton and manufactured cot
ton goods than in the last 80 years.
The committee says that financial
arrangements will be made that will
enable Europe to purchase sufficient
cotton to supply her pressing needs.
Japan is said to be making plans to
make an increase in the handling OF
American cotton.
The report Of the committee as
given out at the headquarters Of the
American Cotton Association here
Saturday follows in full:

''As a result Of a most thorough
investigation, we beg leave to re-
port that the amount Of cotton pro-

that after investigation Of European

During the week the change should bi
continued until by the end of the weel
only separated milk is fed. With espe
cially vigorous calves the change t,
separated milk may be made about
week earlier.
After this time separated milk MAJ
be fed entirely unless the calf Is verI
delicate. The quantity fed can b.
gradually increased until 18 to q
pounds q day are given. 1t is usual!
not economical to feed more than thiI
unless milk Is very plentiful.
The time that milk should be discon
tinued depends upon Its cost in rela
tion to the value Of the calf, It's breed
size, vigor, etc. The season in which
1t reaches the age Of six months an{
the other feeds available at that tint
must also be taken into consideration
Six months Is probably good average
age at which to wean calves from milk

son Of good. succulent pasturage pre-
sents the best possible condition foI

the calf can be weaned earlier than

There is a more serious stage Of

The real danger comes from the

PROFITEERINC
IN KENTUCKY.

The investigation by the
commission appointed by Gov
ernor Black of the high cost of
living in Kentucky has had at
least one concrete result and
that is proof that S. Thurston
Ballard, Republican candidate
for Lieutenant Governor and
millionaire miller of Louisville.
has been charging the people
of his home city and State
Sl.l0 barrel more for flour
than the people of far away
Louisiana. 1t has been report
ed that. in addition to this dis
count given the people of New
Orleans of Sl.l0 below the
price he is willing to sell -four
to the people of Louisville, the
Ballard mills also pay the
freight on the -four to New Or
leans, which as everybody
knows, is quite some distance
from Louisville, involving a
freight rate of hardly less than
so cents a barrel, though this
paper has not had the time to
look up that rate.
