The Bankers QUESTIONABLE
TOUCHING Cotton Acreage

ONDITIONS of much significance to
business and agriculture alike are
revealed in the answers to a ques-
tionnaire sent to every bank in the State
by the Georgia Bankers Association, con-
corning farm credits and crops. 1t appears
that a reduction of this years cotton acre
age, accompanied by liberal planting of
foodstuffs, is virtually assured-and to that
extent the situation is distinctly cheering.
Any other course, in present circum-
stances, would be highly hazardous for
farmers and for business, even if those in
charge of credit resources were so i'll adj
Vised as to permit it, A summary of the
answers as presented to a joint convention
of the Georgia Bankers and the Country
Bankers associations held yesterday at Ma
con, indicates that fifty-one and tive-tenths
per cent of last seasons cotton crop is in
the hands of the growers, many of whom
are holding with no definite rice or date
OF sale in view. 1t scarcely need be argued
that an excessive planting of cotton in the
face of such conditions, should be frowned
upon.
Some idea of what competeIi judges con-
slider excessive may be gathered from the
replies to the questions: will it be your
policy to lend to farmers in 1921 who owe
you aSaln~L the l9ZU crop! Wnere they do
not owe you, are you going to advance
money to them to grow cotton this year?
II SO you going to require them to re-
duce acreage? To what eXtent?" The gist
of the answers is to the effect that loans
will be made only upon assurance of mark
ed acreage eduction in cotton, forty-ive
and two-tenths per cent being the average
proposed, and the raising of abundant
foodstuffs. 1t is the consensus of opinion
moreover, tat an acreage reduction of ap
proXimately forty per cent may be expect
ed.
Whatever may be the divergences on this
and other estimates, capable observers all
agree that without ample production of
food staples Georgia's present economic
problems will grow beclouded and
complex instead of working out to pros
porous autumn. For if millions of money
must be sent to distant regions for these
necessaries which can be raised at home, it
will advantage the farmer nothing even if
he receives comparatively high prices for
cotton. At lest he would be me ely swap
ping dollars, laboring to no profit getting
no further out of existing debts; and "a, all
likelihood he would be sinking deeper into
embarrassment and dragging the common
wealth behind him.
1t is gratifying, however, that the rank
and file of watchful planters have seen the
situation as it truly is and are preparing to
reduce the cotton acreage and to emphasize
food production. In this wise policy they
are entitled to the unstnted cooperation OF
bankers, supply merchants and the public;
and from the attitude of the Macon conven-
ton, as we'll as from previous expressions
1t is obvious that this co-working will be
freely given.

4 Iabanese EXPLORER

|HE next great Polar explorer may come
from the Orient instead of from the
West AS the United States has had
its Peary and England it's Scott and Shackel-
ton, so Japan hopes to produce it's Shirase
Lieutenant n. Shirase is retired officer
of the Japanese army who has already had
some success in Antarctic exploration, and
now proposes to make another dash Tor the
South Pole in July of this year.
The first Shirase expedition was made in
1910 and 1911. 1t was supported mainly by
MARQUIS Okuma and other members Of the
Japanese Antarctic Exploring party, and sue
ceeded in penetrating to latitude eighty
degrees and five minutes south, where, on
the eastern edge of Edward Seventh Land,
a copper box was buried beneath the snow
containing the names of the party and other
records. year and seven months were re-
quired for the exploit.
For his forthcoming attempt Commander
Shirase hopes to obtain a government sub
sidy. 1t will not only be geographical ex
petition, but will have it's principal object
of coal and other precious metals in which
the frozen lands around the South Pole are
said to be particularly rich.
An innovation in polar exploration is the
proposal of Commander Shirase to use an
airplane. After sailing first to the coast of
South Argentine and rounding Cape Horn.
the members of the expedition will take to
the air when they reach South Shetlands.
The South Pole is exceptionally difficult of
access not only because of it's irigidity, but
by reason of the tremendous icy barriers
cutting it off from the world, some of them
more than three hundred feet high. By air.
plane it is hoped to surmount these and
achieve a distance southwark never before
