 A prominent New Orleans statjx- tician has estimated the carry over to be only s.25o,o0o bales. linters obo.0O0. This is a decided decrease from any carry-over figures we have yet seen. We feel that from now on the mills will enter the market to pick up cotton at these prices The foreign demand should also become better. and in short we feel the cotton trade is on the road to normalcy. The ring immediately after the report bought a great deal of cotton. some for abroad and also for domestic mills, We do not expect rapid ad- vance. but we do anticipate a grad ual improvement as we have said before.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

 GiUes Religious Aspect

in this city know, that the trouble is not a religious trouble except as it has been fostered by them to serve their political and their eco- a long time ago that they were rous- ing up a monster they could not control and which some day might turn upon them" Politicians and manufacturers, opposed to Sim Fein, the commission says it found, have had "the aid of large section of the press and of the clergy"
 As regards the rest of Ireland out side the region immediately about Belfast the commission says it was impressed by the evidence of lack of any religious strife" It also charged that Sir Edward Carson, former leader in Ulster, would seem to have accepted home rule act which gives his party practically what they want in Ulster at the price of delivering over the Protestan min ority in the rest of Ireland to the majority rule of their Catholic neigh bors"
 The report continued: "In Ireland there was according to the census of i 1911, 1,147,594 non-Catholics as against 3,242,57O Catholics Of these non-Catholics 89O,SSO Gas com pared with 69O,86O Catholics) are in Ulster, leaving 256,714 non-Catholics | Gas compared with 2,661,754 Cath i olics) in all the rest of Ireland. This small minority is, of course, physical ly at the mercy of the Catholic ma jority. Yet there is on record not one single case of attack upon the life and property of any Protestant on account of his religion. The Catholics were aware of the Ulster pogroms. They suffered under imperial British religion who did not spare their priests, Convents and churches, yet they were guilty of no reprisals of any sort upon their Protestant neigh bors."
 The alleged "excesses of the Brit ish forces in Ireland" the report said, were tending to dispose southern Protestants favorably toward the Re publican government" Protestant business men, clergymen and farmers were reported as resorting to Repub- lican courts. The commission stated that Miss Mary MacSwiney and other witnesses had called to it's attention that many of the patriot leaders in Ireland's history were Protestant '
 It was said that they further testi
 fled that the Republican leaders in

 testants among them Ernest Blythe of the Irish congress (the Dali
 Eirrean), Captain Robert Bartin and
 Erskine Childers.
 , The commission said it was con vinCed that mot only were some Protestants Republican in sympathy
 but that there were Catholics anti
 Republican" The latter included , members of the Catholic clergy, who
 at best it was said were decidedly lukewarm toward Sim Fein." One of the witnesses, the report said , cited the cases of priest "who re

F7ARLINESS Of seeding wheat and
"' oats has proven to be the most
important factor in securing large
yields, in experiments conducted for
six years in Athens, says the Exten-
sion Division Of the Georgia State.
College Of Agriculture
Oats seeded on October Is, gave
an average Of 395 bushels per acre
for the six year period, while those
seeded on November Is averaged on
ty II bushels per acre for the same
period. This shows an increase in
yield Of 1872 per cent in favor Of the
early seeding.
A similar test with wheat for
five year period shows taat when
seeded on October Is, the average
yield is 35.7 bushels while the No
ccmber seedlings have averaged only
1873 bushels, or an increase OF 1853
bushels from early seeding

Select Seed Corn in the Field


CEED corn should be selected in

crib, as no Improvement can be made
unless the character Of the Silk on
which the corn grew is known, ac-
cording to the Extension Division OF
the Georgia State College Of Agri-
culture.
There is a commonly accepted idea
that a variety viii run out if grown
in the same locality for a number OF
years. This idea is erroneous, as seed
corn that has been selected from
your own fields from year TO year n
better seed than can be bought from
some other section. 1t is, Of course
necessary that the grower start with
a good variety and keep it 50 isolated
that no crossing with other varieties
take place
The Importance of using pure seed
corn Of a variety adapted to the con-
ditions in the section in which it is
grown, has never been fully realized
by many farmers.
Those farmers, however, who de
not care to select their own SEED
corn in the field should secure fresh
seed every few years from some re
liable plant breeder, as constant Sc
lection is necessary in order to keen
corn up to a high standard.
The fodder should never be pulled
from the corn intended for seed as
numerous tests have shown that corr
loses in weight from 3 to 50 per
cent and that seed from Stalks from
which the fodder has been pulled do
net give as high yield as wien it is
allowed to remain on the stalk.
