Sports Writers Everywhere Report
That 1921 Promises to Be
Banner Year.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Baseballl
throughout the country during the
1921 season promises to show contin-
ued growth in popularity, which has
been a consistent feature of the ma
tional game since the close of the
world war. Last season new attend
ance records were made in the major
and minor leagues and unofficiaIy it
was said that never in its history has
the game enjoyed such a prosperous
season generally. Off season indica-
tions are that the records of 1920
will be surpassed next summer. This
leads to the question: Where viii
the club owners put the fans who de-
sire to see the games If baseball con-
tinues to grow in popular favor?"
There are some sizeable baseball
parks in the country, the largest of
which is Braves field at Boston with a
seating capacity of 1880. Most of
the parks are sufficiently large to ac-
commodate the crowds that ordinarily
attend the games, but in everv base
bill city there are occasions during the
season, especially on holidays and in
the cases of important series, when
the largest of parks are inadequat tie
" muse VINO desire to
pass through the turnstiles.
Large and numerous as are the
baseball parks throughout the coun-
try in cities represented by profess
sional teams, it will surprise a major
ity of the fans to learn that the total
seating capacity of all the parks of
major and minor leagues of in1por-
lance Is less than one per cent Of the
total population of the country, 1O5,-
683,10S, as shown by the 1920 census.
The seating capacity of the parks in
the major leagues and the principal
minor leagues totals approximately
1000, which with some@ minor
leagues whose statistics are not avail
able, probably would bring the total
seating capacity of all league parks
in the country UP to a round million
The apparent congestion of seating
capacity is more acute in the two ma
jor leagues than it is in the minors.

GERMANY ALREADY
AFTER SEA TRADE

HAMBURG, Germany, Feb. i.-Des-
pite lack of tonnage, shortage OF coal
labor troubles and a deprecated cur
rency, German shipping interests have
begun an intensive campaign to revive
pre-war sea trade. Millions of marks
have already gone into important
ship building contracts.
Hugo SHINES, reputed TO be the
wealthiest man in the new republic
and a heavy shareholder In NUMBER
OF shipping companies, Is reported 70
he attempting to extend his influence
which Is now the controlling factor
in the German East Africa line and
the Woermann line. and an important
factor In the affairs of the Hamburg
American line,
Regular steamship services with
America, South America, East Africa
Mexico, Cuba, Spain, Portugal, Aus
trallia and Mediterranean and Scandi-
navian ports have been re- established
and the North Sea, Baltic and Rhine
traffic has assumed a new and lively
aspect. Handicapped by shortage OF
ships, the Germans have turned their
attention to the conversion of war
ships to commercial usages, to con-
struction OF motor ships out of sailing
vessels. and to the study of oil fuel
Sas a substitute for the more expensive
coal fuel.
Revival OF German commerce is in
dicated by the increased number OF
ships calling at he more important
ports During the first IL months of
1920, 1850 vessels Of a tonnage OF
3.s92.24O arrived at Hamburg, as COM
pared with 1854 vessels and 1,303,-
629 tons IN 1919, and 1885 vessels Of
l13.006 426 tons in the first IL months
os 1918.
The majority OF these vessels, how
ever. are sailing under foreign flags.
LONDON, Feb. Sir Alfred Booth.
chairman OF the Cunard Shipping COM
pany. is of the opinion that up to a
certain point Germany is bound to
recover her shipping position.
while II is true" he stated in an
interview here, that Germany has to
start again practically from the be-
ginning, Il Is also true that the be-
ginni7g has already been made.

t,rraneah, tho Baltic, even to Antwerp
and 10 England.
THE rumor that further 100000
tons Of shipping is soon to go to Ger
many may be but a rumor." added Sir
Arthur
Certainly. It is partly by blending
chartered foreign steamers with the
handful that was left them under the
Versailles treaty. partly by an alliance
between Germans with experience and
no ships and Americans with ships
ard no experience, Germany is prepar-
.~s 10 return 10 her old place in the
chipping world"
SIR Arthur Booth said that the
chances Of Germanys success de-
pended on whether those who held the
field now made the most of their OPP

AS the staple situation has shown
very little change since our letter
Of December l, we thought that our
customers might like to have us dis
cuss the cost of the production OF
cotton and it's relation to the present
and future situation. We believe that
few outside Of the South, and by no
means all in the South, realize the
distressing features Of the present
situation or are able to diagnose their
effect UPON the civilization OF
the South and the future OF the cot
ton industry. A brief consideration
Of fscts however, will promptly con-
vince every one interested in the IN
lustry, whether in the North or the
south that there is no future for it
at present prices and that a contln-
nation of present conditions would
threaten the civilization of the South.
Government statistics show that the
average production Of lint cotton IN
tho South is between one-third and
four-tenths bales per acre, but IN Or
der to show how impossible the pres
ant situation is we are going to first
discuss production figures under the
ideal conditions Of bale per acre
the present market.
The bulk of the crop of the South
is produced on share crop system
the most popular share contract IN
this section being one under which
the landowner furnished the land
buildings, planting seed and fertilizer
and the tenant furnishes the live
stock, tools and labor. Ginning and
baling expenses are divided. Land
lord and tenant divide the cotton
equally, but the landlord receives all
of the seed. Under this plan let US
see what would be the returns to
landlord and tenant on 20 acre crop
of cotton producing one bale per acre.
As to One Horse Farm.
The farm will contain about 80
acres including a little woodland and
a few acres of corn ans>other minor
crops. If the land is good enough
to produce bale per acre OF fair
valuation for the farm, including
