BALE OF COTTON
TO ACRE IN FLOYD
Produced Under Boil Weev.l
Conditions - How Yield
Was Made

ATHENS, October 23.-That
bale of cotton per acre can be
produced under boil weevil condi-
tons has been demonstrated by
County Agent NJ w. H. Collins, of
Floyd county, according to DR.. An
drew NJ. Soule, president of the
State College of Agriculture, who
hes Just returned from a tour of
inspection.
Mr.. Collins had one hundred
farms in Floyd county which were
used as demonstration areas" said
DIR. Soule, "and forty of these have
already gathered bale of cotton
per acre. The most modern meth
DDS OF cultivation combined with
the ludicious use of calcium arse
nate were employed, mad this is the
explanation for the remarkable sue
cess of the demonstrations. There
Is no reason why Nthis program
should not be extended throughout
the state of Georgia and our state
placed on a better financial basis,
and enable it to produce a fair
share of ready money crop"
The accomplishment of this end
rests on three fundamentals, accord |
ing to DR.. Stule, which he outlined
as follows:
l. The employment of first
class county agent with scientific
training such as may be obtained at
the State College of Agriculture, in
every county. 1t is manifest that
new conditions must be met with
new ideas and educated men and
women will be called on to do the
job.
2. The idea of a new agricultu-
raj progress must be sold to each
county, not only to the farmers but
t" the business men.
3. The county agent must have
the active and permanent support
Of the business men of the county.
The results obtained in counties
like Floyd this year were not ac-
cidental. 1t was only through the
spirit Of cooperation between the
county agent, farmers and business
men.
The success Of any AGRICULTURAL
program, concluded DR.. Soule, will
uepend on educated leadership;
funds to make this possible; and
co-ooperative spirit permeating ev-
cry phase of the activities of the
community which will make it pos
sible for the people acting as
unit 20 put over definite pro
gram.

HEALTH
Hints
by the
Father of
Physical
Culture

When we consider that it is a part
81 the plan Of Nature to compel the
human body to breathe in and breathe
uqt !o1ygep, without single mo-
Ihent'S. cessation, from the time of
firth Until the time Of death, that
fact alone ought to stamp the act of
breathing as one of tremendous sig
hiflcance and overwhelming import
ance. What makes us inhale and
what exhaie While we have a large
control over our breathing apparatus,
the, principal operation is absolutely
beyond our control or voliton and
goes on day and night, asleep or
awake, conscious or unconscious, in
the newborn babe as we'll as in the
healthy adult.
In Macfadden's Encyclopedia of
Physical Culture scientists tell us that
the average adult inhaIes $50 cubic
Inches of air per minute while at rest.
II he walks four miles an hour, he
draws IN five times as much, or 2,+00
cubic inches Fer minute; if he walks
Iix miles an hour, he draws in seven
times as rouch, or $500 cubic inches
per iiiinute.
We have Sut to look at the func-
tons Of breathing to realize its SUI
pteme Importance. Theic are three
t.f(efs thugs hat breathing accom-

= u. S. Government Maintains
Secrecy on Contents, as
England Requested.
ONLY PASSING MENTION
OF RUHR RESISTANCE
Document Reported Carefully
Termed, Expected to Appeal to
American Public.

The British note on reparations sent
TO the allied capitals was delivered
to the Washington government today.
State Department officials said the
text would not be made public, nor
could the subject be discussed. The
note came through the American en-
bassy in London.
1t was said officials had not had op-
portunity to study the note in detail.
but it was Indicated that when such
opportunity had been afforded no an
nouncement could be expected in view
of the British governments injunction
to strict secrecy.
Whether any action will result on
the part of the Washington govern
meflt is a question which can be de-
cided only in the light of develop
ments of the next few days.
AS a matter of practice notes by
the allied governments from time to
time on the reparations question have
almost invariably been forwarded to
Washington for the information of
the American government. At no
time in previous cases have replies
been considered necessary.

DESERTED infant
WILLARD MYSTERY
Police Seek Yelled Woman
Who Abandoned Baby in
Room at Hotel.

Through the stiffness that envelopes
a hotel at midnight. last night, came
the wall of a hungry infant
The New Willard slept on.
But Mrs. E. w. Horne of New York
and Chicago, awakened in room 709,
investigated the crying next door, and
became a leading figure in a drama
that reached its climax when the
three-month-old boy she found was
taken to the house of detention this
morning. while police started a search
for the mother who deserted him.
About Z o'clock a woman had come
into the hotel with an infant She
registered as Mrs. Harry Jones of
Harrisburg, Pa. She was given a
room next door to the one occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. E. w. Horne.
Advertises for Food.
This is all the police know of the
case until the discovery of the baby
by Mrs. Horne. When the door of
the room was opened, Mrs. Horne
found the youngster exercising a pair
of perfectly good lungs and advertis-
ing for food.
Enlisting the aid of the night
clerk and an attendant. canned al
cohol heating outfit was obtained, a
bottle of milk was fetched from the
Willard pantry, and the infant was
given a meal. Then Mr.. and Mrs.
Horne brought the little fellow into
their own room.
!! He was fat-the kind that have
dimples in the elbow. He had a
frank. open face, but looked on life
with frown. And he had pug
nose. But his eyes-despite an evil
dent heavy dose of parygoric which
dilated the pupilS-were crystalline
blue and very deep.
Walk Floor With Infant.
Through the early morning watches
Mr.. and Mrs. Horne .alternated in
walking the floor with the crying
baby. Mrs. Horne was SO fatigued
that she was asleep and could not be
disturbed when Detective Patrick
O'Brien of police headquarters start
ed his investigation about 9 o'clock
this morning.
To the house of detention the
youngster was taken, to make history
for the woman'S bureau. In the opin-
ion of Mrs. Van Winkle, lieutenant in
charge. he is the youngest ward to
have received attention there. Mrs.
Hubbs, policewoman, expert on pick
pockets and shoplifters, remembered
that she had trained nursing expert
ence, and beat out all other contend
ers In the race for the guardianship
of the baby, while awaiting the loca-
tion of some foster parent by the board
of children's guardians.
Veil and Coat Clue.
In the room at the willard was
found a heavy black crepe veil and a
woman's black coat. This started
speculation of widowhood of the
mother. Baby clothes were found in
abundance. On an envelope was
found the name of man and an ad-
dress. Police are seeking him. On a
blotter-in reverse writing-could be
deciphered 'Iynchburg."
Inspector C. L. Frant Immediately
dispatched word to police In out-of-
town cities requesting information
and cooperation in establishing iden-
tification of the woman and Of the
man whose name was found.

Shortly after the letter had been

rangements have been made for the
early evacuation of this city by allied
troops. According to reports from
Angora the newly elected members
of the national assembly have been
summoned to meet by the end of
this month, and 1t is expected that
the peace treaty recently agreed upon
at Lausanne by the allies and the
Turks will be ratified before August
10.
Turkish authorities have been
promised that the barracks and other
military establishments occupied by
allied troops since 1917 Will be
evacuated a week after LITIGATION
and that the bulk of the troops will
be aboard transports twenty days
later
Merchants Plan to Leave.
1t is expected that a majority of
the Greek and Armenian merchants
who possess sufficient means to ex-
patriate themselves and who remained
in Constantinople feeling that they
were protected by the allied army
will leave along with the departing
troops.
The Turkish government does not
oppose the departure, but through
various organs encourages them to
leave, suggesting that life will be
uncomfortable after friends for
whom they betrayed the fatherland"
have departed.
The government intends to replace
the departing Christians with Mussul-
mans from Saloniki, who are skillful
traders. The Turks from western
Thrace and Crete. who are expert to-
bacco growers, will be established In
the Samsoun district to replace the
| expelled Greeks and thus revive the
| falling off of the tobacco industry.
| which Is one of the main sources of

companies are spending millions of
dollars yearly in purchasing crops
! This shifting population requires

Turkish treasury does not possess.
The financial situation Is worrying
