BUSINESS REVIVAL
SHOWN In SOUTH
No Boom Apparent, But Improvement
Is Rapid-Cotton Normal

ATLANTA, Sept, l2-Business is
picking up here, there and almost ev-
erywhere. This is shown in reports
received here by business agencies OF
revlving industry, of improved sales
of better feeling. There isn't any
boom in business; it is not anything
like what it should be; there is a LOT
of room for improvement and what
business men in Atlanta consider
normal is not yet on hand but
things are looking up.
Men here in railroad work tell of
larger volume of freight and passenger
business; men here and from other
sections Of the State in agricultural
work tell of improved crop conditions
ana hopetulness among men who feed
the nation; men here in manufacture
ing work tell of revived industry: citv
officials speak of civic improvements
and suggest means for bringing them
about, in fact most of the men seen
by the correspondent of this newspa-
per have something encouraging to
say.
The 1921 cotton crop is perhaps the
smallest produced in forty years, but
IT is altogether probable, according to
Rose and Son, New York cotton brok-
ers. that it will bring the growers as
much money as normal crop Bit
this is not all. Mr.. Rose points out
There was surplus carry-over OF
cotton perhaps fully equal to the new
crop This surplus will share in the
higher prices and will contribute its
part toward bringing prosperity back
to the South. Altogether the pros.
pect for fine fall and winter trade in
the South, according to the most con.
servative reports, is very bright one
The tide has indeed turned, say Atlanta
business men.
The short cotton crop for this
N'i ~ lVopOllSIDie LOT the prices thai
will be obtained" says Rose and Son
OF New York, the only odd OF cot
ton brokers having direct private wires
IN Southern cities over which reports
are received here. "If the farmers are
wise in the future there will be no
more cotton grown than will meet the
demands of the world" If this is
done, cotton will always bring a good
price and the tillers of the soil will
grow and prosper as the proverbal
green bay tree."'
That the short crop is not unmixed
evil is already apparent. according to
agricultural experts here. They say
it will bring as much money. but will
require much less labor and expense
to handle. 1t reduced acreage has
caused much more food stuff to be
grown, which is practically a clean
gain. The outlook for the farmer in
the cotton belt, it is pointed out here.
is highly encouraging. And, on ac-
count of famine conditions abroad,
the farmers of the grain states are
also destined to receive better prices
than they would otherwise have done.
