4. The carry-over July 81, 1921, Of
spinnable cotton is not much over the
average for the last ten years and less
than some years. For instance. FROM
,the 1914 crop we carried over 7,y1-
900 bales of American cotton, and
nearly 100000 bales in all. On top
of this, we had a $4,000, O,OOObale crop
in 1915, and still the price went up.
We must. to keep things going, carry
over each year from 100000 to 5000
900 bales of cotton.
5. The acreage planted to cotton
has not increased materially since
1911, or in eleven years. 1t is small
err this year than ever before since
1900. Previously, in round numbers,
we doubled the production every
twenty to twenty-five years, but this
year we have less than in 1907 or an
actual decrease compared with twen-
ty years ago.

over of 100000 or 100000 bales, and
there is not enough left to supply the

more cotton than that.

Obliged TO, because all have felt that
retail prices were too high. consider
ing the prices of cotton AMI other
farm products. AS soon as cotton
prices start up-and they have already
advanced since the large reduction in
acreage was announced-people will
begin to believe that prices have
reached the bottom and begin buying
again. When they do and the mills
need cotton to supply the demands,
the spinners will pay the price for
cotton.
There is just one thing, in our opin-
ion, that can keep cotton from going
to profitable levels this fall and that
will be for our farms to glut the
market by too rapid sales--or for our
business men to compel them to ADOPT
such q policy Certainly the best in

men in the south will be promoted by

This alone will enable the whole
south to reap the benefits which

Reasons Why Cotton Should Bring
Good Price.

There are many reasons why cotton
should bring good prices this fall. The
recent advances in price have not been
speculative" but based on the solti
rock of proved facts and statistics.
HIRE are some of the clear reasons
why 1922 prices should be good.

wide by the spinncrs, and supported

Bureau Of Markets, that there would
be a carry-ovcr Of 12,f57,75O bales,

Prohibition Blamed for Scarcity Of

Paupers.
Prohibition was blamed for the
scarcity of bodies furnished to medi-
cal colleges for dissecting purposes by
DR.. ]. B. McCurrich, professor of an
atomy at the University of Toronto, in
an address to the Canadian En-
balmers' association.
Since prohibition, DR.. McCurrich
said, men belonging to the class that
formerly died paupers through indul-
gence in liquor, were now leaving
money enough to give them a regular
burial, and colleges rarely obtain any
bodies from that source. He appealed
to embalmers to assist as much as
possible in furnishing bodies to be
used in the scientific studies end re-
search of the medical schools.

NEW YORK. May 2s.-As a cul-
minauon 70 the attempts that have
been made during the last two
weeks to effect a settlement OF the
James A. Sullman divorce case out
OF court. IL IS said that the banker
has made the concessions demanded
by his wife, including the funda-
mental question Of the paternity, Of
Guy.
The reason given for the reported
retreat of Sullman was that he was
tired OF the publicity given his di-
divorce troubles. IL was said he is
anxious TO have the entire matter
over with and get away from New
York as quickly as possible.
Strengthening OF the defense Of
Mrs. Sullman by introducing the
name Of Florence Leeds into the ac-
uon also was said TO have prompted
his attorneys TO advise Sullman
that tho easiest way is the shortest.
and the shortest is to call the whole
thing off,"
The supposed admission Of the
paternity of Guy was expected to be
a silent acquiescence." IL was
/ pointed out by a responsible author

| previously had refused to grant
! Sullman's repeated pleas for settle
ment out Of court because Sullman
held out in his refusal TO allow Guy
Sullman to receive the heritage
which would be due him as the law
full son of Sullman.
1t was said Sullman will allow the
matter 10 take its course. withdraw
his charges against Guy and "just
let the matter drop" which would
be construed as meaning he accepts
the paternity Of the child.

she asked. II was known negotia-
