COTTON CROP GAIN
OF MILLION BALES
GOVERNMENT FORECAST ESTI-
MATES 12,519,OOO BALES ON
CONDITION OF JULY 25.

Increase of more than million
bales in the prospective production of
cotton over that indicated a month ago
is forecast by the Department of
Agriculture. A total of 1880
bales was estimated from the condi-
ton of the crop July 25, while II ,450,-
600 bales was forecast from the con-
dition June 25.
Good growing weather during July
caused much improvement in the pros
poets of the crop, the condition having
advanced from 70.7 per cent of nor
NAL on June 25 to TAI per cent on
July %. The crops condition is seven
points higher than it was a year ago
and a little more than point below
the ten year July 25 average.
A production of 11,450,000 bales
was forecast from the condition June
25, which was TOT. Production last
year was 11,329,755 bales and the con-
dition on July 25 year ago was GIL.
The ten year average condition on
July Is was 1856 per cent.
Condition of the crop by states on
July Is was: Virginia, IA; North
Carolina, II; South Carolina, III;

DON'TLAY BY CROPS TOO EARLY
BvI QUINN Secretary State Board Agriculture Alabama

ceases fruiting stops. This is almost
fatal to the cotton crop under boil
weevil conditions. Cotton cultivation
in all boil weevil infested areas should
be continued till it is nearly time to
begin picking, or until it becomes diff
ficult to pillow without knocking out
the cotton. The longer you cultivate
your cotton the longer will the plant
put on fruit. This means that the
boil weevil will feed upon the top crop
and give the middle crop chance to
"set." The farmer who ceases cult
walton early will find when he goes
to pick his crop that he has fed the
middle and top crop to the weevil and
reserved the bottom crop for himself.
What is true of the foregoing crop
is also true of other field crops. If
every farmer would make it the rule
on his farm to continue cultivating his
crop three weeks longer than the aver
age farmer does there would be a
very marked increase in the produc-
ton of all kinds.

Too many farmers throughout the
state are laying by" their crops en-
tirely too early. They should remem-
Der that all crops are much later than
they usually are at this season of the
year.
Corn that is just heading for tas-
sci should be narrowed with some light
harrow until late in the silking period.
This is especially true during dry pc
RODS. Cultivation is most important
at this time in order to conserve mols-
ture. Corn needs more moisture dur
ing the tasseling, silking and young
roasting ear stage than at any other
stage of plant growth; and unless
good much is kept up through light
good mulch is kept up through light

the ear will not be well filled at the

1t is most important that cotton
cultivation be kept up. At this sea-

REPRESENTATION WILL
Be CHANGED In HOUSE
THREE COUNTIES WITH TWO
MEMBERS WILL DROP DOWN
TO ONE EACH.

Several changes in the schedule of
county representation in the Georgia
house of representatives and in the
value of county votes under the coun-
ty unit law will result from the 1920
census.
The constitution of Georgia fixes
the number of counties which shall
have three representatives, which
shall have two, and which shall have
one. The six largest are entitled to
three representatives each, and as
Floyd county has been displaced on
this list by DeKalb it will lose one of
it's three representatives and DeKalb
will gain one. The 1920 census gives
Floyd 39,481 population and DeKalb
44,O51.
Colquitt, Mitchell and Worth coun-
ties, by virtue of gains in population,
will be advanced from the one repre-
sentative to the two representative
class, taking the places of Decatur,
Houston and Wilkes counties, which
drop back to one representative each.
The "big six counties, with three
representatives. each and their popu-
lation figures under the 1920 census,
are as follows: Fulton, 232,606;
Chatham. 100000; Bibb, 71,307; Rich
mond, 63,692; Muscogee, 44,195; De-
Kalb, 44,051.
The counties having two represen-
tatives each and their population fig
ures are: Barlow, 24,527; Brooks,
24,538; Bullock, 26,133; Burke, 3d.

The Spenders

Two OF the recent appointees to
the Cabinet protest against cuts
IN department estimates. Secretary
Alexander complains because the
House committee has reduced the al
lowance for promoting foreign trade
from 81 l,65s,0o0 to S49o,0Oo. "This is
the most serious blow ever aimed
from within at our foreign trade" he
says. Secretary Meredith declares
that Congress is dealing with the
Agricultural Departments estimates
on a "penny-wise" basis.
Secretaries and their bureau chiefs
are interested in spending money. in
expanding their work and in GETTING
larger results. They don't have to
accept responsibility for deficits in
the country's income or for the huge
taxation under which the country
groans.
II the governments income equalled
its outgo, consideration might be
given to arguments that the depart
ments could accomplish better re-
suits If allowed to spend more money!
But in the present crisis such areu-
ments have little weight. Swollen

Our Town Meetings

The extraordinarily high character
of the debate upon our daily plat
form page is the subject Of much
comment from our readers. In the
five weeks now elapsed, during
which 2,s76 planks have been SUBJ
mitted, real progress has been
made toward sharpening the issues
in our readers minds, toward TO-
cussing attention upon the vital is
sues, and toward stating those
issues in swift, terse sentences.
We call special attention to the
page in to-morrow's issue, composed
entirely Of letters by women. There
is some legislation directly affecting
women here presented. But it is not
feminine laws that strike the note
Of the page so much as the fem
inine point Of view. We think the
page an interesting proof Of the fact
that while women are not organic
ing or voting as group they are
thinking as women and likely to con-
tribute a new and valuable influence
to the business Of the country.
In a sense The Tribune's plat
form contest Is only an extension of
the policy which it has long main
tained upon this page Of opening its
columns as widely as possible to
discussion. and debate by our read
ers. Such we conceive to be an es-
sential part Of our duty and service.
The old town meeting is no longer
possible in our modern populous
communities. The discussion in let
ters to a newspaper offers the one
possible substitute, and substitute
highly effective. We are glad to
know that our readers understand
and appreciate our effort.

to see the handwriting on the wall, that
ne has been weighed in the balance and
found wanting. To try to redeem
himself. he now psofesses to be-
lleve in woman suffrage, after thir-
ty-one states have ratified the amend
ment. Also, prohibition ought TO be
given a fair trial for two or three
years. His change of heart Cor 10 1t
headD comes after forty-five states
have ratified the prohibition amend
ment. He does not state, in reference
to this latter issue, what his stand
will be after the questionable "fair
