FARMERS URGED TO CUT
COTTON CROP NEXT YEAR

ernor had speaking engagements.
He planned to leave for New York
on returning to Atlanta Thursday
night.
"As a native Georgian" said Mr..
Brooks, II am naturally interested
in the prosperity of the state and
the south. In the south we often
hear the New York Cotton EXchanGe
criticized on the idea that its influ-
ence brings about a depression OF the
price of cotton AS a matter of fact,
the exchange would much rather see
cotton go up than down, for various
reasons. In the first place, when
cotton goes down the exchange is
at once swamped with hedge sale
orders, which the exchange must
handle. In the second place, when
the price of cotton is high, we re-
ceive more money for the cotton
we sell abroad, which increases our
trade balance. The exchange, for
these and other reasons, is a Dull
in cotton, not a bear
eff I were asked to give, my ad-
vice to the cotton growers, L would
most urgently advise them to limit
next years crop. Ten million bales
would be preferable, but in no event
should they produce more than elev-
en-. fnillion bales. / am very hopeful
that the boil weevil ravages will ma
terially decrease production not only
next year but every year. and in that
respect the boil WeeVil is calculated
to be a blessing in disguise, as it
has often been called.
'"There is 10 doubt in my mind
that the growers can practically con-
troll the price by limiting produc-
ton next year and thereafter. When
cotton is ginned, it would be wise
for the growers to sell enough to
liq1idate the obligations incurred m
production, and then to sell the bal
ance gradually, as the market can
absorb it.
To Bring Financiers Here
"Over-production of cotton next
wear would destroy the advantages
with which the growers emerged
from the war. The world is not pre-
pared to assimilate an oVer-produc-
ton of cotton. The worlds buying
power was enormously cut down by
the war.
"For example, the combined ma
tional debts of the world in 1914, be-
fore the war started, were 43 billion
dollars. Today the combined national
debts of the world are 383 billion dol
lars. Those debts must be paid By
taxation, and the worlds buying
power has been curtailed almost in
proportion to the increase Of the ma
tional debts. 1t will take the world
years to gradually get back to nor
NAL buying power.
Although engaged in business in
New York for the last fourteen years
Mr.. Brooks has kept his voting resi-
dence at Augusta, his birthplace
and comes "back home" to vote when
he can get away. He is delighted
over the entrance Of his firm into
the south with the Atlanta branch
and is much interested in seeing tho
south prosper and progress.
Mr.. Brooks is planning after the
holidays to bring to Atlanta a large
party of New York financial men
He intends to show them the golt
courses of Atlanta, take them on ar
automobile trip through the repre-
sentative farming sections of the
state, and wind up the trip on the
Florida east coast.

.LITHUANIANS ARE
ADVISED TO GET
BOOZE BY PAPER?

Chief DeJaeger of the Moline po-
lice department is wondering
whether a certain foreign-language
newspaper published at Chicago is
advising Moline LithuaRians that
they may brew beer and >distill
whisky for their own use without
Interference from the law.
A copy of the paper was pre-
scented to the chief today by Lith-
uanian friend. This man stated
that a certain article and = cartoon
on the front page of the Journal
stated that it is legal g. liianufac-
ture liquor for home consumption.
Chief DoJaeger ContCntG that I'M
der no circumstances 5 1t legal to
distilI whisky for home use or for
sale.
He will obtain a translation OF
the article in question and if the
article does state that whisky can
be made in the home without legal
interference further action may be
taken.
