A. w. Brabham has submitted to the
Cotton exchange. Of Savannah four
samples Of colOrcd cott0ri- light brown,
dark brown, light green and dark
green. They are the results Of years
of experimentation. MFR, Brabham says
that other colors will appear when

that are not yet fully grown begin to
bear.
The botanist has not yet been able
to produce black cotton. but he says
he viii do so IN time. IT would have

cotton mailed to him by a botanlst In

Brabham has sent for another pack
age of these Seeds and he Is convinced
that If he crosses them with certain Of
the cottons he has already grown the
result will be black.

EUROPEANS PLEADING

Elder Generation Sacrifices Self
That Hope Of Future May

The one optimistic note In the des-
perate need prevailing through the war

traordinary and touching faith Of the
people IN the children. The elder gen
GRAFTON has put all its hope and trust
in the future of che generation now in
its early years. In fact, In many In
stances it is deliberately sacrificing IL
self for the children, the Europe Of to-
morrow.
In the war-ravaged districts supplies
necessary for maintenance of lnsti-
tutions are lacking but II has been
noted that always the request for out
side aid emphasizes the needs of the

clination was indicated by the fact
that one district Of Poland the au-

The appeal has reached America
with the result that because they know
that literally millions of European chill
dren face starvation and death from
disease unless the aid that only this
country can give Is forthcoming, eight
great American relief agencies have
banded together under the name Of the
European Relief Council to raise $780,

critical winter it has vet faced, These

PROGRESS IN COMBATING
ANIMAL PESTS AND DISEASES

The systematic campaign against
tuberculosis eli livestock begun three
years ago BY the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture has made
much Roadway, according to the an
nual report of the secretary of ag-
iculture just made public. On June
30, 1920, 1870 herds, approximately
three times the number at the Begin
ming of the fiscal year, were or
ficially accredited by the department
as free from tuberculosis: in adj
dition 1880 herds hove successfully
passed one test. During the year
federal and state officials examined
sos ,S64 animals. of which 28.616 were
reactors and had to be slaughtered.
Applications for testing have ac-
cumulated more rapidly than they
could be handled by the available
force OF veterinarians Of the depart
nent. Near the end of the fiscal
year 4,740 herds were on the waiting
list to be tested
Progress also has been made in the
work Of controlling hog cholera, the
greatest limiting factor in swine pro-
duction. 1t is estimated that as a re-
suit Of the activities Of the depart
ment Of agriculture and it's CO.
operating agencies in combating this
disease a saving amounting to SAL
100000 annually is effected.
Tn the South, state, county and
local support IS being given the de-
.partment in the eradication of the
cattle tick. This year 50.555 square
miles were released from federal
cattle-tick Quarantine, making
total Of 5O90S0 SQUARE miles since
the work was BEGUN in 1906.

NEW STORY ABOUT PILGRIMS
Writers Claim Early Settlers N Ameri-
ca Were Kidnapped From the
London Virginia Company.

Some historians. notably A2ell Ames
who has complied ''The Mayhower and
Her Log" from original sources. as
sert that the skipper of the Maytlower
was Capt Thomas Jones, a rough
seadog who had led a more or less
plratical career on the high seas. Be
tween Capt Jones and Sir FerdinandO
Gorges and doubtless Weston they al.
lege thai a plot existed whereby the
Pilgrims were deliberately stolen from
the London Virginia company and
planted on territory outside Of the Vir-
glna grant Tie maneuverIng about
Cape Cod. according to this interpre-
tation was simply a part Of the plot
to discourage the Pilgrims from set
Ting near the Hudson as evidently
they intended when they left Holland.
The exact identity Of master Jones"
is not clear Historians of the Massa-
chusetts Historical society say that the
skipper was one Christopher Jones, a
Trustworthy man. entirely different
from Capt Thomas Jones, who was
known to have checkered career dur
ing his voyages to Virginia and other
colonies. The course of American
colonial history may have been greatly
changed when the Pilgrims encoun
tered the shoals and unfavorable
winds off Cape Cod, hut this bit Of
destiny can be easily exaggerated. II
Is sufficient here to relate that the
Pilgrim colony was founded outside
the Jurisdiction Of the London Virginia
company.

TENNESSEE CROPS SHOW
BIG DECREASE IN VALUE


A final summary Of Tennessee's
crops grown in 1920, as compiled by
6. L Morris, agricultural statistieian,
Bureau Of Crop Estimates, United
States Department of Agriculture,
shows the total acreage grown TO the
different crops Of the state differed
but little from 1919, there being
total acreage Of 6,890,000 in 1920,
compared with 7,001 900 in 1919.
While the difference in acreage is
SMALL there is vast difference in
value for the two years. The value
Of field crops for 1920 was S179, 1885,
600 compared with S275, 3S5,000 for
1919 The total value of all crops,
including fruits, nuts, vegetables and
pastures, in 1920 being $224,295,000,
AID in 1919, S344 231 900, and, that,
too, in face Of the fact, with the ex-
ception of wheat, tobacco and pea
nuts, there was a much larger pro-
duction Of all crops.
The farmers Of the entire state
have been heavily handicapped
throughout the year. To begin with.
every orator from the stump and the
entire press Of tho United States
were begging and advising the farmer
to put forth every effort to raise a
large crou to feed the starving mil
lions Of Europe. To this end he bent
every energy. and from a humane and
patriotic standpoint. did his best. The
Lord seemed to Emile on his efforts,
and notwithstanding a more or less
unfavorable season and farm labor
prices, the highest ever known. MANY
