COTTON SHORT-
 AGE IN 1921
CROP TO BE SMALLEST IN 2s YEARS, EXPERT PRE-
 DICTS.

New York, May 30.--The country faces the shortest cotton crop in the last quarter of century, J. s. Wanna maker of St Matthews, S. c, Presi- dent of the American Cotton Associa- ton, told the national consultation con ference of American cotton growers to- day.
 This shortage is largely due, he said, to the successful cotton acreage reduction campaign of the association in it's effort to create ma rket and pre- vent further deflation in prices. He quoted statistics to show the acreage had been reduced 30.73 per cent. He said there must be united effort on the part of government and business if the cotton industry is to regain its feet and due to an artificial defla tion in values, is to be overcome.
 "The channels of commerce." said Mir Wannamaker, which have been stagnated for the past 10 months, must be opened and normal trade relations re established. The forces which had the power to stagnate commerce and restrict world credits must also have the power to reopen commerce and es- tablish credits.
 Experts of raw cotton must be stim- ulated and the resumption of consump- ton must be revived in order that markets may be opened and the way of the farmer made possible" In giv- ing his statistics the speaker said:

New Commissioners Views.

Commenting on the state engineer affair yesterday Judge Falconer said, Since the law places the power of nominat ton in the head of the depart ment. MT. Wilson, and gives the other members only right of veto. shall favor the man selected by MT. Wilson provided that, after careful investiga- tion. he is found to be of incOrruptibie integrity, of first class ability, Of thorough training and education and wide experience as a road builder. His politics. residence or religion would make little difference to me provided he has the other qualifications. AS to the engineer nominated by MT. Wilson can not as yet commit myself, because I have made no investigation. IT ln- yestigation proves that he has the nec- essary qualifications, shall vote for him; otherwise not"
 Judge Falconer has been in touch with road affairs generally and yes terday suggested the possibility or conference between commissioners and federal road officials with a view to mapping out a definite road program for the state In giving his views on the matter the commissioner said he is opposed to the formation of new road improvement districts until roads now building have been completed; that he favors the use of federal and state aid on trunk roads only, and in concentrat- ing funds and energies on one or two through state lines and completing them Two of the most important projects, he said, are the proposed road from Fort Smith to Memphis via Little Rock, and the road across the Boston mount tains to the Washington county line. thereby opening up the scenic Ozark sections of the state. Judge Faleoner said that in his opinion the books of the department should be audited at regular intervals and monthly state ments made public.-Gazette.

Predicts Shortage.

Enforced deflation in values, re- strictons of credits and exports, have thrown back the machinery of cotton production on limited scale of p years ago. This will ultimately result in an intense shortage of supplies to meet the oncoming revival of the world spindle capacity.
 "In addition to the acreage reduction of 1921, we find that on account of the inability of farmers to secure credits for either moneys or suplies for the cultivation of their crops, the cotton acreage abandoned after planting will break all records of the past, there be- ing now an acreage abandonedment of 4.95 per cent, and this will be largely increased"
 Defending the action of the associa- ton in its acreage reduction campaign, Mir. Wannamaker said that because of existing conditions it would have been nothing short of suicidal to produce more than half crop of cotton in 1921. The people of the South realized@ that their commercial life was in jeopa rdy, and prac actically the entire business life of the South joined us in this cam- paign.

A National Problem.

The speaker said that until cotton is recognized as one of the nations great test assets and until 1t brings a profitable price to the grower, every Southern industry will be retarded.
 we produced in 1920 only 13,197,- 775 bales of cotton he said, "still to- day we are without markets. except at a price of approximately one-third the cost of production. and then only in n limited way. The farmer is being smothered with his own production. Business stagnation and paralysis re sulting from the destruction of the pur- chasing power of the farmer is costing more every month than the total val ues of his production
 Declaring financing of cotton pro- duction national problem, he contin- ned: "When a safe system of issuing short term certificates of indebtedness or debentures against cotton, properly stored, has been put in operation, II will present a new national field for investment by the whole people which will be safe and as attractive to the investor as government bonds.

FAMOUS indian
GONE TO HAPPY
HUNTING GROUNDS
David M. Hodge, King Of the Brok-
en- Arrow Tribe of Creek Indians,
Died in Oklahoma.

Tulsa Okla, Jan. 20.--Another oil
the famous old Indian leaders, who
shaped the destiny of the red man in
the early territorial days in Oklahoma
has passed. In the recent death oi
David NJ. Hodges, 20 years old, last
king" of the Broken Arrow tribe OF
the Creek Indian nation, Oklahoma
lost most interesting character. He
died here recently.
| Prominent in the affairs of his tribe
since 1906, he ranked first among the
Creek statesmen, and although he new
er received the highest honor in the
| power of the tribe, that of the prin-
cipal chiefship, he was for years the
| chief adviser of the Creeks His adj
vice was sought by succession Of
tribal heads and on repeated occasions
he was named by the House Of War
riors and the House OF Kings tthe
Senate and House of Representatives
of his tribel as their delegate to the
Great White Fathers" in Washing
ton.
II was the proud boast of the old
statesman that he had met and talked
with every president since Andrew
Jackson.
One of the last missions accomplished
by him for his tribe was having Con
gress rule that the Creeks and other
Indians were within their rightA in
suing the government for the reeov
cry of lands given to their slaves aft
er the Civil war
Perhaps his greatest claim to fame is
the assembling Of an Engiish-Aiusko- /
gee Greek alphabet and dictionary.
The first effort toward the formation
of this work was made by Rev. John !
Fleming, missionary who came with /
the Muskogees as they were then |
called. to the Indian territory from
Alabama and Mississippi in 1887 -3s. |
Little progress was made until a mum
Der of years later, when Hodges, as
chief Interpreter Of the tribe and Rev.
r. NJ Loughbridge, missionary, col
laborated and finished the book, which
has been of inestimable value to the
tribe.
When a lad. Hodges was taught in
an Indian mission school hv the ia
Their of Miss Alice Robertson. Okla
homa's congresswoman- elect. who was
one of the early Indian missionaries.
Hodges also translated the Bible into
the Creek tongue, the Creek myths
into English and was co-author OF a
volume of Creek English songs
Hodges was made junior officer in
the forces of Albert Pike, discoverer
Of Pixies peak, and was assigned to
the army from Texas early in the
Civil war. As a result Of a battle with
union forces on Thanksgiving day,
1861. in which the army from the
north. although possessing superior
numbers. was almost annihilated.
Hodges was given the rank of colonel
and when the war ended he was in
command of a regiment.
He was born in Muskogee. Okla, in
1912. his father being a Pennsvlvania
German and his mother a full-blooded

In Twenty Years, Accord
ing to Department of
Agriculture Statistics
FOUR TIMES HIGHER
THAN WERE IN 1879
Average Wages Without
Board Amounted to
$64.95 Last Year

Washington, D. c., Jan. 20.-Wages
| of hired men on farms have more than
| doubled in the last ten years, trpled
in the last twenty years and were
more than four times higher last year
than they were in 1879. These changes
are shown by statistics of the depart
nent of agriculture.
Wages paid by the month, without
board, averaged $6405 for the country
as a whole last year, ten years ago
they averaged $3.50 and in 1879 they
were I$l0.43.
Day labor at harvest time last year
averaged S436 without board and at
other than harvest time $3.50. Ten
years ago harvest time labor was paid
Sl.S2 and at other than harvest time
Sl3S. In 1894 harvest time day la
Dor was paid Sl.l3 and non harvest
time labor 81 cents a day.
California and Nevada farmers paid
their labor the highest prices for la
Dor without board, the average in
those states last year having been
Sl07 month. The lowest average
was in Mississippi where S4l was paid.
The average for the country as a whole
was S6495, the north Atlantic states
averaging 1854. the South Atlantic
states S50.56, the northeast central
states, 5000, the northwest central
states, S79.7o, the south central states
S5l94, and the far western states,
$9943.
For harvest time labor without
board, North Dakota paid the highest
rate with $40 day, while at other
than harvest time South Dakota paid
the highest rate with $500 a day.
