Hancock Farmers
VIII Cut Acreage

SPARTA, Ga, April 6.-Those
who are forecasting the amount of
acreage that will go under cultiva-
ton in Hancock county this year
are agreed that not more than 25
per cent Of the number of acres
under cultivation in normal years
will be attempted this year. In
normal years an average of four
thousand plows have been run in
the county, whereas it is thought
not more than one thousand will be
attempted during 1922, and more
than so per cent of these, it is es-
timated, will show no cotton acre
age at all,
Inquiries made in all sections of
the county by Thomas H. Little,
president of the Hancock County
Farmers association, have made
him reach the conclusion that the
vast majority of farmers will rely
principally this year on corn, velvet
bean, sweet potato and pea crops to
bring a return Of the prosperous
times when there were no boil wee!
vii and cotton was bringing 40 cents
a pound,

sales of dry goods are somewhat
smaller, owing to the fact that in

CHICAGO, April 6.-Milliners
here are down-hearted. Their chic
creations in bright colors are not
selling rapidly, and they are blam-
ing that fact on the weather. Easter
frocks, however, are in splendid de-
mand. Trade in fabrics at the large
State street department stores have
been heavier since Saturday than
for a long time and one company
admits that it's business has been
better in the last two weeks than
for months. It is believed that a
few days of bright warm weather
will revive the millinery demand
and bring a taste of the prosperity
which other retail lines are enjoy
ing. 5
Mems clothing and furnishings
are commencing to move in better
fashion. Most of the merchants are
advertising an extra pair of trous-
ers with their suits as an induce
ment to trade. Merchants generally
seem to agree that the present bet
terment is something more than a
seasonal revival. y
The steadily increasing sales of
the mail order houses is regarded as
an encouraging sign. They re-
port farmers are not buying many
pianos, monographs or expensive
luxuries, but are in the market for
household goods, hardware and
