Eggs From Starving China.
From the Macon News.

The price of eggs on the Macon market has
declined within the past few weeks from 20
and IS cents to 40 and even IS cents.
This is probably due in part to the general
tendency of commodities to decline, but we
are told that one of the most important fac
tors in bringing about the reduction has been
the arrival at Vancouver of millions of eggs
from China and even though there are no
Chinese eggs on the local market the supply
in the country has been so largely augmented
that the influence is felt in the remotest ham
let.
From a selfish point of view it is highly
gratifying to find that the price of this staple
article OF food has come within easier reach
of the consumer, but it is one of life's bitter
ironies that China to which we are sending
millions of dollars to save millions of persons
from starvation, should on the other hand be
exporting eggs to us in such quantities as to
break the market throughout the United
States.
From the point of view of our own interests
there is no reason why we should not be able
to produce eggs here in Georgia in such
quantities that it would never be necessary
to import them from anywhere, and while it is
probably true that we do not get any from
China it is equally certain that we do get vast
quantities of both chickens and eggs from
Tennessee.

Can't Afford to Farm Without
Fertilizers This Year.
From the Progressive Farmer.

With fertilizer at its present high prices
can we afford to use it this year?
This is the uppermost fertilizer question
in the minds of the farmers in the fertilizer
using sections Of the south. The Progressiv
Farmer has gone thoroughly into this ques-
ton from every angle, and the deeper we go
the more convinced we are that our farmers
can't afford not to use fertilizer to make their
1921 crops The per acre cost will be increas-
ed, but the per bushel or per pound cost will
be reduced and it is the bushels and pounds
that we must sell at a profit.
This is not the time to plunge on fertilizer in
order to get phenomenal yields, or to expert
ment with new mixtures. Use safe amounts
OF the kinds OF fertilizer that have given pay
ing results on your types of soil. Not only
should the farmers who have heretofore used
fertilizer continue the conservative use of
it, but there are farmers in every commune
ty who have depended solely on their own
efforts and the original plant foods in poor
soil to make their crops who should now
supplement these things with added plant
food, at least on few acres. and get away
from unprohtably low yields.
We cannot afford to farm at a loss again
this year, and yields OF IS to 20 bushels OF
corn or a fourth to third of a bale OF cot
ton an acre will not pay for the labor, seed
and use of the land and leave profit. 1t is
essential, then, that our yields be raised well
above the average, and the only practicable
means of doing this for this year is with fer
tilizer wisely used.

The Bow Criminal.

The boy criminal is now engaging the at
tention of not only the courts, but of all
thoughtful people. The problem is of especial
concern to those whose business it is to deal
with delinquents and who are constantly en-
gagged in studying delinquency. The boy Grim
inal has become numerous, daring and de
faint Here in Georgia as we'll as elsewhere
many Of the most startling crimes of recent
happening were committed by mere boys.
Boys are not only engaging in petty crime
but in every sort of crime from that of the
ineanest kind to major crimes, such as bank
and train robberies. There seems to be no
limit to the imagination and the daring OF
the youthful criminal.
1t is natural, with such grave condition
existing, that inquiry should be made as to
the cause or causes of it. Such an inquiry
does not proceed far before the discovery is
made that many theories exist as to the rea-
son for the boy criminal Everyone who has
given thought to the question has his own
explanation. The reasons advanced the
gamut from lack of home restraint to the
growing and well nigh universal contempt
for law. Lack of proper education, improper
motion pictures, pool rooms, gambling, the
pull that crooks have with politicians, pub
LEGATION OF crime news, unemployment lazi-
ness-these are some OF the causes OF the
boy criminal that are presented.
The boy criminal is difficult to explain. 1t
is not possible to say that this, that or the
other thing is directly responsible With so
many different influences reaching the boy it
is unsafe to particularize. 1t would be safer
to assert that all of the reasons put together
have brought about the boy criminal than to
say that any one of them is responsible for
the evil.
The boy criminal is problem of many
angles, and it is sufficiently grave and alarm
ing to merit the most thoughtful considera-
ton on the part of every one concerned for
the future of humanity.

Unpopularity of Tax Boosting.

The newspapers of Georgia have begun to
discuss the tax situation, and the people of
the state are rising in revolt against that class
of politicians who have acquired the collect
i've name of tax boosters and tax eaters.
With the large public who directly or in
directly pay the freight in the form of taxes
and of the reduced paying and employing
power caused by excessive taxes, tax boost
ing has become unpopular.
And there is good reason why this should
be even more unpopular, namely the great
postwar drain on the resources of industry
through the greatly increased burden of fed
eral taxation.
With the industries and the people of the
state engaged in all lines of endeavor strug
Cling to carry that burden and at the same
time carry their payrolls and meet their bus
mess obligations it surely is no time to add
any unnecessary and dspensabie burden of
state taxes to the load.
Other states are holding down taxes and
here is Georgia in these days of sorely needed
retrenchment every proposed additional and
every increased tax should be required to
show cause, and mighty strictly too
When our state solons meet in the summer
they should, and doubtless will heed the les
son of the late national election in the I'M
doubted unpopularity OF the game OF tax
boosting at this time.

ANOTHER CRISP.
From the Savannah Press.

1t would be a great compliment to Georgia
if Congressman Charles r. Crisp should be
elected as floor leader OF the democratic mi
nority i'll the house.
His distinguished father occupied that po-
stion and was subsequently elected speaker
OF the house
The younger Crisp is considered the best
parliamentarian in the present house. lie was
assistant to Hon. Champ Clark when the lat
ter was speaker and sat by the side OF Ollie
James when he presided over the Baltimore
democratic convention Ill 1917.
Mr.. Crisp was elected to the SiXty-fourth
congress to serve out the uneXpired term OF
his father. 1t should be gratifying to Geor-
gians to see history repeat itself again on the
floor of the house. One by one the old demo-
cratic leaders of the house have been set
aside Champ Clark was defeated in Mis-
souri,, as was Cord Hull, of Tennessee, and
Congressman Raney, of Illinois Claude
Kitchins, OF North Carolina, has suffered i'm
pairment of his health and, although still in
the house, is hardly equal to the strain OF
minority leadership. So Mr.. Crisp OF Geor-
gia, seems to be an available man in the
present emergency.
The democrats are not going to have much
showing i'll this house, Republicans have an
overwhelming majority. Democrats seem to
agree with Senator Underwood, who will be
the democratic leader in the upper house, that
they will cooperate with the republicans in
necessary and constructive legislation and
will bde their time to make issue and to re-
form the party lines, gradually building up
a record.
Party leadership in the house is going to
require tact patience and devotion to demo-
cratic principles Mr.. Crisps friends are GER
tain that he possesses all these qualifications.

A Flash In the Pan.

The Costa Ricans appear to have conclud-
ed that discretion is the better part of valor,
and so the war that threatened between Cos
ia RIGA and Panama has been declared off
before it was begun.
Information at hand is meager, and it is
not clear what the fuss was about, but it ap-
pears that the territory over which the con-
troversy arose and which was invaded by
Costa Rcan forces has been in dispute be-
tween Panama and Costa RIGA for a number
of years and the dispute had been arbitrated
twice, once by the president of France and
once by the chief justice of the United States
supreme court. Costa RIGA had taken posses
sion of the territory under the decision rem
dered by Chief Justice White, while Panama
has not accepted that decision, but claims ter
ritory under the decision of President Loubet
The facts available do not make it possible
to Judge which of the disputants is in the
right
How far the oil interest may be respon-
sible for the present situation it is not clear,
but it is significant that oil exploitation is in
progress in the vicinity of the disputed terri
tory both at American and at British in
stance. If the country possesses latent oil re-
sources it is worth fighting for, and that may
explain why both Costa Rica and Panama
are DESTROYS OF holding it.
1t is some time since there has been any
serious turbulence in the Central American
countries. A war between Costa Rica and
Panama would not be likely to be much of
a war. but it would be disturbing as all Cen
trail American fighting has been in the past
1t is gratifying that hostties have been so
quickly brought to an end
