GEORGIA COTTON
CROP VERY POOR
U. S. Bureau of Agricultural
Economics Says Prospect
This Year Is Poorer Than in
Aany State Except South
Carolina.

Atlanta July 1.-THE cotton pros
pect in Georgia is poorer than in any
state according to the correspondents
of the Unitged States Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics though the ad-
joining state of South Carolina is in
much the same situation. The contin-
uous rains during the early part of
June prevented cultivation, induced
growth of grass, and leached out much
of the fertilizer. Before the farmers
were able to get the fields clean the
weevils were found in such large
numbers that many farmers gave up
the battle and turned to other crops.
This proportion was large enough to
be the decisive factor in making the
Georgia ga> less than last year.
While all other states show return
to normal acreage of cotton, Georgia
and South Carolina show reductions,
principally on account of the boil Vice.
vii The destruction wrought last
year was disastrous. Georgia the
central and most important cotton dis
trict was practically wiped out. In
1922 the number of weevils present
early in the season indicated a prob
able repetition if cotton were planted.
The growers seeded down" their
plantations, put them in corn, or al
lowed them to lie idle.
South Georgia on the other hand
has become accustomed to the weevil
and learned to fight him. The result
is that more cotton has been planted
in that section than in five or six
years. The net increase there is about
Is per cent.
+. North Georgia with the exception of
few mountain counties, shows some
decrease. Here the planting was linn
tied by rain and soil conditions.
The Georgia cotton crop will be be-
low any in the last twenty years with
the possible exception of last season.
Weevil infestation is heavy and dam
age already severe.

Those twelve hundred or more Geor
gia National Guardsmen on St. Simon
are not only doing hard military duty
but are also enjoying themselves as
well and seem pleased with everything
in connection with the camp.
Another interesting matter to the
boys is the fact that they are to re-

the first week and that will allow
them to replendish their purses. 1t
will be remembered that the "ghost

camp last year and the boys could
have enjoyed themselves to a greater
extent if they had been paid at the
end of the first week.
II is understood that beginning to,

with the leaves of absence and many
soldiers will be seen in Brunswick

ed the streets, washed automobiles
away from the curbing, and overbur-
dened storm sewers. Lighting systems
in Kansas City and vicinity were ses
vere1y hampered.

geant, Neb., as result. of heavy
kind, rain and hail storm last night.
Rivers throughout Missouri and Ne
braska are reported to be out of their
banks with farm lands under water.
Flood warnings have been issued.
The storm ended a 43-day drought

ago, left that service for employment
on the afternoon paper.
Mr.. Dart was an indefatigable work
er; was possessed of really a wonder
full energy and in the work in which

CIVILIZATION NOT GARMENT
TO BE BOUGHT, HE STATED
Convention Got Down to Busi-

Handled on First Day-Grand
Lodge Will Continue in Ses-
sion.
BY CHARLES STEWART

"The Negro must win his way to
in this country" declared General G
R. Hutto, of Bainbridge, in addressing
the grand lodge of colored Knights of
Pythias yesterday in the Shiloh Bap.
tist church. which marked the open.
ing of the 33rd annual session of the
grand lodge and the grand court of
Calanthe, the female branch of the
order.
"We must learn that civilization is
not garment to be purchased at
some department store and worn off
on first fitting, but it represents years
of toll, preparation and sacrifice.
There is no man, no class of men, no
combination of men that can pick up
a race, or individual and place him in
to greatness. Those who have amount
ed to anything in this world have had
to win their spurs. Look where we
were fifty years ago, and see where
we aer today, and we should rejoice
with the Psalmist David in saying
The Lord hath done great things for
us whereof we are glad"
The grand lodge and grand court
have brought to the city over two
thousand orderly colored men and
women, and as plendid opportunity
is given to observe the progress made
by the race. They are orderly, polite
and courteous, attending to the busi-
ness for which they came and there
will be no friction between the races,
for each will look after his own af-
fairs.
The slogan, announced by Grand
Chancellor Hutto, who is regarded a
sane and safe leader for, his people is
,''Better homes, better farms, better
churches, better schools. better men
and women, better boys. and girls

o'clockq yesterday morning, using the
form in the ritual, and special pray
er was offered by Grand Prelate DR..
M. M. Aston. .t
Following the opening and roll call.
Grand Chancellor Hutto announced
, the death of Charles H. Mccarthy, sec

lence. prevent interference with mails

Big Four brotherhoods and. the rail

the issue arising from the shopmen's

The issues for discussion are ex-
pected to include the question of work
ing with guards and ateJtroops on
duty. alleged insistence of the roads
the. brotherhood Nh members perform
work assigned to crafts now on strike.
aBrotherhoods also claim that en-
gines' with defective breaks, head
lights, and air equipment are being
turned over to them since the strike.
President Holt, of the Railroad Sig
nalmen, announced that he would not
open up negotiations over grievances
eighteen roads made conciliatory ex-
pressions looking to the settlement of
the shopmen's strike and the same is
already comforting with the system of
federated heads, union leaders insist
ed however, that there will be no set
tlement except on a national basis.
