After referring to the decrease in

half the former number, and to the

editor continues:
West Virginia has not escaped the
degrading influence Of shortage in

ed good deal this year, either TIL
rough lack of teachers or through the
employment of inefficient teachers.

afford to lose its good teachers, close
up any school or use less fitted teac-

RAIL MEASURE IS
EXPECTED To PASS
EARLY THIS MON.T TIL

WASHINGTON, D. CA final
agreement by senate and house con-
ferees on railroad legislation is near.
1t is now believed to be virtually
certain that the railroad bill will be
passed early this month, so that
there will be no hitch in the preSi-
dents announced plans to return the
lines to their owners March /.
The overwhelming majority of
congress still favors the return Of
the roads to their owners as soon as
possible, despite efforts of labor and
other organizations to extend gov
eminent control two years in the
hope that the Plumb plan can then
be put in effect.
Republican leaders are determined
to push the railroad bill through as
soon as possible. and to do this some
features of it may be left for later
legislation.
Anti-strike legislation probably
will not be in the conference report
Senate leaders by a recent canvass
found that the majority OF the house
IS still opposed to such action. The
plan for dealing with labor. included
in the house bill, whiah was writ
ten by the railroad brotherhoods
probably will be slightly modified,
but it is possible that all labor pro-
visions will be eliminated.
The difficulty now between the
conferees is on section six of the
CUmmins bill. which provides that

SHORT COTTON
CROP FORECAST
BY WANNAMAKER

That the 1920 cotton crop will be
the shortest in five years, and that
p world shortage of the staple will
cayse much higher prices, were fore
casts made Saturday in Atlanta by
j. S. Wannamaker, president Of the
American Cotton association, who
passed through here on his way from
Texas and Louisiana to his home
in South Carolina, and spent sew
eral hours at national headquarters
of the association in the state cap
itol
Mr.. Wannamaker gave out the fol-
lowing statement regarding crop
conditions:
LAS a result of a thorough investi-
CATION by our experts. we find that
conditions point clearly to another
short crop. In fact, even with ideal
conditions from now on the crop
will be the shortest in five years,
Labor is extremely short, having been
attracted to other lines of industry
by the prevailing high wages. Long,
continuous and record-breaking rains
the belt have prevented any prepara-
ton whatever for planning the crop.
Under these conditions, it will be alb
solutely Impossible to cultivate and
harvest even as large an acreage of
cotton as was planted last year.
Until the peace treaty is signed.
Germany, Austria and other coun-
tries are entirely closed out from
the cotton market. AS result, GER
tain of the spinners, especially some
in Europe, are reaping golden
harvest Large dealers who sold an
enormous amount of cotton at far
lower prices than those prevailing
today realize the situation and are
quietly covering their commitments
and shouldering enormous losses.
The European manufacturer, a sci
entific business man thoroughly
posted on the situation, is buying
cotton and preparing to meet world
shortage in raw material.
with a worldwide demand for the
manufactured product, with the mills
making unthinkable profits, with the
supply entirely inadequate to the de-
mand, with the absolute certainty of
a very short crop, the law of sup
ply and demand will grind to a
powder the parasites of the cotton
industry who have long manipulated
/ the market and prevented the law of
supply and demand from functioning.
Much higher prices are an abso-
lutte certainty. Before the 1920 crop
becomes available, good grades of
cotton will have vanished like snow
before Ju1V sim and there will he
a demand for any grade of cotton that
is possible to spin.
my advice to farmers is this:
Plant food and feed crops, and plant
only such cotton as can be cultivated
and gathered under adverse condi-
lions. Hold your spot cotton for
fair price, based upon the price of the
manufactured product"
