Bulk Line Cost 28

Washington, March "a. - A
preliminary report on the cost of
cotton production for 1918, just is
sued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, shows a bulk
line" cost of 28 cents per pound of
lint. At price fixed on this basis,
85 per cent of the cotton produced
on the 842 farms from which cost
figures were obtained would have
produced at a profit, and 66 per cent
of the farmers concerned would have
made money. At a price fixed on the
basis of average cost of production
-23 cents-only 351 of the 842 far
mers, or Alt per cent, would have
made profit.
The data from which these figures
were derived were gathered by the
office of farm management during
May and June, 1919, in parts of
Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina
and Texas. The records, which are
for the 1918 crop, show in detail for
each of the 842 farms the expendi-
lures that should be charged to the
cotton crop for labor, seed, fertilizer,

He Says

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Vir-
tual chaos existed in the Navy De-

States entered the war, Captain Har-
ris Lansing, assistant chief of the
Bureau of Navigation during the
war, testified today before the SEN

no one knew what to do after the
plan of action had been submitted by
the bureau of operations and had
been disapproved and that the "per-
sonal characteristics of the Secretary
of the Navy often made It impossible
to get approval of really important

setting a price so that from 80 to
90 per cent of a commodity could
be produced at a profit. A certain
percentage of producers may be
expected to lose on a given staple
in any given year, but economists
agree that if prices sink so low
as to make this percentage very
large, say as low as the line of
the average cost of production, 50

that staple will tend to fall off un-

The Notification.
Hon. j. E. Sheppard, Mayor,
Americus, Ga.
Dear Sir:-Pursuant to call of

ginning at 1880 O clock this af-
ternoon for the purpose of dis

luton adopted requesting the di-
rectors of the Chamber of Com
merce to ask the Mayor and
Council of the City of Americus
to, if possible, secure a postpone
ment of the hearing before the

Company for increased rates.
At the conclusion of the mem
bership meeting the directors of
the Chamber of Commerce met
in special session and by proper
resolution accepted the recon-
mendation of the Members Fo-
rum, and | am directed to COM
municate to you the result of
this action. The directors most
heartily approve of the move
ment to secure a pOstponement
of the hearing before the Rail
road Commission, believing it in
the interest of the people of

cation and the accumulation of
such data as that will insure an
intelligent presentation of the
matter.
The directors of the Chamber
of Commerce wish to assure you
that they stand ready and will
ing to render such assistance
and cooperation as is within
their power to give.
Yours very truly,

5000 TROOPS CLASH
WITH $4,000 COMMUNISTS.

The population of Americas in
1890 was 6,3S3, in 1900 it was 1874
and in 1910 it was S,063.
Disappointing as are the 1920 fig
ures to all lovers of Americus who
had been counting on a population
certainly past 10000 and hoping that
it would reach $4,000, they are graf
flying to many others who have been
apprehensive of the real showing of
census takers. Men who have been
familiar with the extent of the exo-
dus of negroes from this section have
expressed themselves as certain that,
despite the known substantial in
crease in white population in the last
ten years, the city could not possibly
show a general increase in popula-
tion. That this departure of the ne
groes had been Offset so completely
was a matter that proved very graf
flying wherever the census figures
were learned today in advance of
their publication this afternoon.
The announcement of the figures
for Americas was made at Washing
ton at 1890 o'clock TINS morning.
The news was flashed to The Times
Recorder by the Associated Press,
and The Times-Recorder in iurn no
titled T. M. Furlow, supervisor of the
census for the Third Congressional
District, of the release for publica-
tion of the figures which he and his
assistants had collected and for
warded some weeks ago. And then
it was, for the first time, that Mr..
Furlow permitted himself to say any
thing concerning the census here.
''Now that the figures have been
given out" said he, 81 feel that | can
comment just bit upon them. AL
though I did not separate the figures
on races here before forwarding
them to Washington, / can say that
the strictly negro sections of the city
showed less population than in the
census ten years ago. Likewise. the
white sections showed decided in
crease over ten years ago, which Off
set the decrease in the negro sec
tions and permitted the city as a
whole to show an increase of nearly
900.
"Under the circumstances | think
the showing is gratifying, although
we would all have been glad to have
seen the total larger. The count by
the enumerators was complete; | do
not think they missed ten names in
the entire city.
One citizen, discussing his disap-
pointment at the failure of the total
to go past 10000 said;
at is what we might have expect
ed. We have had our chance to
grow in population, but when people
wanted to come here-and there are
hundreds who would have taken up
their residence here within the last
two or three years had there been
houses available-we have had no
homes to offer them. We have actu-
ally lost residents after fires when
their homes were damaged because
they had no place to go in the city
"The thing for us to do now is to
get ready for the 1880 census and
make sure that the count then Will
show different Amerieus than IN
1920"
