and submitted 1t to these two gentle
men for inspection after close cxami-

he could pass without difficulty as a

SUPREME COUNCIL
TO MEET SATURDAY.

LONDON, April 29.-Allied d1pl0-
mats are gathering in London for the
full dress" meeting Of the allied su-
preme council Saturday at which it
will be decided what steps shall be
taken for eXacting the reparatlons
from Germany.
1t was expected and even hoped IN
some quarters that the German coun-
ter proposals forwarded through
Washington would make it unneces-
sary to. bring further pressure to
bear. The manner in which France
and England rejected them, however,
and the decision of England after
certain points had been elucidated by
the Berlin government by request,
that in the words Of Premier Lloyd
George they "are thoroughly unsat-
isfactory" make it certain that the
French proposals for the occupation
of the Ruhr district will be the one
object of discussion by the council
unless Germany sends something
more closely approximately the PARIS
terms
The possibility of the United
States being represented IN the con
ference is exciting much interest IN
diplomatic circles here for it IS be
lieved that would have a greater in
fIuence in bringing Germany to
terms than any other move.

Acreage by Crops.

dominant features from sta
tistical viewpoint Of the present crop
year are the acreages reported as
intended" to be planted to corn and
to cotton; the sharp increase (23
percent) in corn being reflected in
the sharp decrease (33 percen) in
cotton. Calculating on the basis OF
average yields, 6,273,000 acres
would produce 94,0O0,000 bushels OF
corn, the biggest by far in the his
tory of Georgia agriculture, and
twenty times greater than the com
bined corn production last year Of
all the New England states. Under
boil weevil conditions an average
yield on 1881 900 acres would pro-
duce about 900, 900 bales Of cotton,
500-pounds gross; the smallest num-
Der produced in Georgia since 1895,
when 1,067 900 bales were picked on
an area slightly less than that indi-
Gated for the 1921 crop. Georgia
farmers used practically no fertilizer
this year on cotton, so there is good
ground for doubt whether as many
as 100000 bales Of cotton will Be
