SHORT FOOD CROPS
ARE PRED TED
GEORGIA COMMISSIONER OF AG-
RlCULTURE DECLARES THE
FARMERS ARE IN A DES-
PERATE SITUATION.

Atlanta. Ca, May 4th.-Unprece-
dented rains have placed the farm
ers of Georgia in desperate situa-
Non, according to J. j. Brown, COM
missioner of agriculture, who has
been in fifty counties in the past two
weeks.
" Mr.. Brown says he noticed a state
mentdn the public prints to the effect
that a million and a half more acres
would be planted in cotton this year
than We're planted last year.
"That statement was absurd on its
face" declares Commissioner Brown.
Even if the farmers wanted to plant
more cotton, which is not their de-
sire, they could not do it. The farm
labor shortage is acute and desperate
throughout the belt. The unprece-
dented rains have thrown the farm
ers at least forty days behind their
schedules, How they are going to
plant more cotton when they are forty
days late and haven't the labor to
cultivate as much as they cultivated
last year? The cotton acreage will
be substantially reduced
81 do not wish to seem pessimistie
but 1 look for a severe food shortage
next winter. I believe it Will be the
worst in the history of the country
The South not only will be short in
cotton production but short in food
production. The western wheat farm
ers have the same labor problem that
exists in the South They look for
heavy curtailment of production.
thousands of Georgia. farmers
have not planted cotton and have NOT
planted corn. The rains yesterday
and Sunday will throw them back
another ten days or two weeks. Cot

If 1t weren't for the boil weevil. Du'
late cotton under boil weevil condl
tions is almost doomed in advance
Corn planted late might make cror

a long drought to follow the rains
and that will ruin the late corn crop.

(By the Associated Press. J

San Francisco, May 4.-Although
there were only meagre returns avail

presidential primary held in this state

Johnson $3.50 votes, while 2,517 votes

New Jersey Governor Promises
Atlanta Friends to Come
If Possible
ITINERARY INCLUDES
OUR COAST ISLANDS
Prominent Candidate for the
Presidency on the Democratic
Ticket Wants to See Bruns-
wick, Cumberland and JekyI
will Come About May IS.

Governor Edward l. Edwards of
New Jersey. candidate for President
Of the United States on the Demo
cratic ticket and now as much in the
public eye as any man in this country.
is likely to visit Brunswick in the
very near future.
,aThe story is told in the following
article carried, in the Atlanta Journal
of yesterday:
Governor Edward I. Edwards. of
toned for the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination, has tentatively ac-
cepted an invitation to visit Georgia
this month.
The invitation was extended last
week by Jack Lewis. well known
Atlanta business man who has been
the personal friend of Governor Ed
wards for more than ten years.
Mr.. Lewis was in Jersey City on
business. He called on Governor Ed
wards at the First National bank, of
which the governor is presid ent, and
asked him to come to Atlanta. and the
governor agreed to make the trip if
his official duties permit aim to leave
home, between the 10th and the 18th.
Tentative plans for the proposed
visit include public reception and
address by the governor in Atlanta
and Savannah, and trip to Bruins
wick and Cumberland, Jekyl or one of
the other islands off the Georgia
coast.
Governor Edwards has been in the
public eye in the last few months
chiefly because of his advocacy Of
states rights and his opposition to
national prohibition. 1t was on that
platform he was elected governor Of
New Jersey, and it is that position
which has been largely responsible
for the prominent mention of his
name for the presidency. In the
presidential poll now being conducted
by the Literary DIGEST he was rum
ming second to William G.. McAdoo
in the last number. and in a poll
taken by the Macon Telegraph before
the Georgia preferential primary he
ran first.
81 asked Governor Edwards to come
to Georgia, simply to give the people
of the state the opportunity to see
what kind of man he is" said Mr..
Lewis Monday. 81 have known him
we'll for ten years and admire him
greatly, and feel that Georgians will
be interested in meeting him and
hearing him."

General Gonzales and his command

CARRANZA GIVEN UNTIL
MAY is TO RESIGN
(By the Associated Press)

(By the Associated PreSSo
Washington. May At was report
ed here today through unofficial
sources that the high military officers
of the Carranza government had sup
plemented their advice to him to re-
sign by setting May the 18th as the
limit of his tenure of office. The
attitude of the military group is taken
here to indicate the reason why Car
ranza has not prosecuted more Wig
orous campaign against the revolu-
tionists.
With the revolutionary movement
daily growing in magnitude, and al
most entirely surrounded by enemies
and cut off from all communication
to the sea. it seems that Carranza's
days as president Of the so-called Re-
public of Mexico are numbered.

Great Newspapers Of the Middle

Enthusiasm and deep interest
continues in the coming mid-Western
"trip of the five great South Atlantic
ports. 1t is dawning on the people.
not only in the port cities, but all
over the West, that this trip is about
the biggest thing of the kind ever
attempted any where.
The Brunswick Board of Trade had
advices yesterday to the effect that
the Wilmington delegation had been
selected, and this closes the person
ael of the trip, as the other four
A1orts have already announced theirs.
= Plenty of publicity in advance of the
coming "Mid-WestSouth Atlantic
Get-Together Trade Trip" is now
being given by the big daily papers
in the cities included in the two
weeks iteniary, according to reports
reaching the Jacksonville Chamber Of
Commerce.
News stories covering the details
of the tour and pointing out its ad
vantages, not only to the South At
lantfc ports, but to the midwest cit
les, are now being featured, and in
a number Of instances, editorials that
dwell on the history-making tour are
being printed.
The cities through which the all
steel Pullman train carrying approx
imately two hundred business men
from the five South Atlantic ports
and from other cities in North and
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida
will swing are fully alive to the com
ing trip, and 1t is evident that the
business interests in all the cities to.
he visited are eager for the time to
arrive when they will come in per
sonal contact with the business men
of the South Atlantic section.
Never before in the history of the
United States has the South, in a
body, invaded the North. Several OF
the great cities of the midwest have
run special trains filled with manu-
facturers and business men to the
larger cities of the South but these
were mere trade extension trips,
doubtless productive of splendid re.
suits, but having no one special pur
pose to attract and fascinate the
minds of those visited. as has the
midwest trip which the South At
lantic ports will make.
It is also significant that this is the
first time on record when five sea
ports, all struggling for supremacy
have buried the. Ratchet and gotten
together for one common cause.-the
development of the export and i'm
port business of ALL The ports of
Jacksonville. Brunswick, Savannah

that what will benefit one in expan-
sion will benefit the others. so they
have all Joined hands to work for not
only their individual interests, but
for the interests as whole.
The trip is less than two weeks
away, and preparations by all the
cities that will take part are rapidly
rounding into shape.
