Cotton Production
In South Georgia
Shows Big Decrease

Martin V. Calvin, statistician in
the state department of agriculture,
has brought to light some interesting
not to say startling facts concerning
the decrease of cotton production in
south Georgia counties in the past
three years.
Taking the map of Georgia, he
divided the state into south Georgia,
middle Georgia and north Georgia,
and computed the cotton production
in these three sections from the Off
cial ginning reports of the federal
government for 1917, 1918 and 1919.
His statistics show that south
Georgia in 1917 produced sos per
cent of the states cotton crop; in
1918 produced 26.7 per cent; in 1919
produced only 17.5 per cent.
They show that middle Georgia
in 1917 produced 58 per cent of the
states cotton crop; in 1918 produced
59.5 per cent; in 1919 produced 61.7
per cent.
They show that north Georgia in
1917 produced lis per cent of the
states cotton crop; in 1918 produced
1873 per cent; in 1919 produced POS
per cent.
The boil weevil of course, is re-
sponsible for the rapid decline of
cotton production in south Georgia,
as in that section the seasons are
long and conditions are favorable
for the Weevil to accomplish max
imum of damage. In north Georgia
the advance of the boil weevil has
not yet reached its peak. Mr.. Cal
vim believes it will never be able to
accomplish as much damage in north
Georgia, in proportion to the cotton
planted, as it did in south Georgia,
owing to the higher altitude, colder
winters and shorter crop seasons.
His estimate is that south Georgia
from 1917 to 1919 sustained a loss.
all things considered, of nearly $40,'
0OOO in the decline of it's cotton
production, but he estimates that a
large part of this was offset by the
increased production of other crops,

Says the World VIII
Communicate With
Planets in Few Years

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Witk
Nthe hope of communicating with one
of the planets, DR.. James H. Rogers,
Of Hyattsville, Md, inventor of the
underground and through-water
wireless which was put into practi-
cal use during the world war, an
nouced today he had established and
equipped a plant with wireless ap-
paratus powerful enough to receive
messages of 10000 meters wave
length.
Recent undecipherable signals
suggested by William Marconi as
having originated in Mars were re-
corded on instruments of but 100000
meters wave length, DR.. Rogers said.
The average wave length used on the
earth, he AIDED, was about 10000 me-
tiers. '-..H
DR.. Rogers said he had recently
noted on his instruments construct
ed for receiving messages of $4,000
meters wave length, numerous inter-
ruptions eXtraneous in nature and
similar in some respects to telephon~
ic electrical disturbances. He said
that the signals were unrecogniz-
able, but claimed that in two months
time he probably would be able 20
identify at least some of the vag-
rant noises and predicted that in a
few years the earth would be in Il
more. or less communicative position
with alleged terrestrial human life.

whether he will be candidate for
a third term, there is a hesitancy
on the part of candidates and their
friends to formally announce them
selves. There are but two an
nounced candidates at the present
writing. These are James w.
Gerard, former ambassador to Ger
many, and Governor Edwards, of
New Jersey. There are numbers
who think that if the presidents
health is restored he will be can
didate, and if his name is presented
by the requisite number of voters
it must be voted upon. Others men
toned in connection with the Demo-
cratic nomination are William Jen-
nings Bryan, Attorney General A.
Mitchell Palmer, who has a large
backing among federal officeholders;
.ex-Secretary William G. McAdoo,
who is believed to have the backing
to a very large extent of the rail-
road and labor organizations; Gov
ernor James M. Cox, of Ohio, who
has twice carried a Republican
state; and Herbert Hoover, who has
been brought forward by the New
York World and other newspapers,
and whose name will go on the bal
lot in the Democratic primaries in
New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
I'm many respects the coming
presidential election will be the
most important in the history of the
United States. Issues and problems
of tremendous magnitude will con-
front our president in the next four
years. The choice of a candidate
to carry the. standard of the Demo-
cratic party is too important to be
decided by a caucus. The Democrats
Of Georgia are entirely capable of
making their own choice among can
dldates for the nomination, ana they
have not authorized anybody else
to make it for them Georgia's def
egates ought to go to San Francisco

Democrats of Georgia concerning

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.--A pos
sible foundation for another season
of senate debate on the peace treaty
was laid today by Democratic lead
ers as a sequel to the collapse yes
terday of bipartisan informal ne
gotiations for a compromise on res
ervations.
Notice was served by Senator
Walsh, of Montana, one of the Dem
ocratic members of the disbanded BIZ
partisan committee, that on Tuesday,
February 10, a motion would be made
to resume consideration of the treaty
in the open senate. He spoke for the
Democratic senate leader Senator

bringing the treaty back for debate.
1t was said sentiment might not
crystalline for several days, but there
were indications the division might
not be along the same lines of de-
markation that have obtained gen
orally during the treaty fight.
Position of Bitter Enders
The first impulse of some of the
treaty's ! irretoncilahTe. foes was to
vote for the Democratic motion on
the theory. -r that more discussion
would arouse further. public ,opposi-
ton to ratification while others of
the irreconcj4ab1es held to. the posi-
ton the treaty was dead, and should
be left dead. ,ss-
Some of the mild reservation Re
pub1icans were inclined to favor fur

now. to ratification, but Others be-
11exed it only would consume time
that should be devoted to legislation.
There have benin TINA lions, too, a
number of Democrats would prefer
to try some other method of private

1T" generally was predicted if the
Democratic move proved successful,
as the, party leaders said it would,
the lineup behind it would be a
combinatio of Democrats, mild res
erVationtsts and .irreconcilables.
Republican leaders talked over the
situation among themselves during
the day but declined to- make any
prediction aboutd the outcome or to
announce definitely where they stood
on the proposal. 1t was indicated,
however, the Republican leaders
would make an effort. to require a
two-thirds majority for bringing the
treaty before the senate. Under, the
rules,s they ssaidy tive thirds would be
| necessary, but it was pointed out
Vice President Marshall had held
throughout the treaty controversy
that majority could proceed as it
pleased with treaty consideration
Should an appeal be. taken from his
| decision in this case, it was expect
ed a, majority would vote to uphold
| him.
If motion to take up the treaty
should fail, a resolution to return
the treaty to President Wilson with
word that the senate was unable to
act,son it would. be the. next step.
