The trouble is to keep the

Because Limit remains thin

err this morning a case of spinal
menegitis, the type of which is as
yet undetermined, has developed at
the Steedley dairy making it neces-
sary to prohibit the sale or delivery
of milk by that dairy for an in
definite period.
Blood tests have been taken by
consulting physicians and an eff
fort is being made to determine
whether this case is of the contag-
ious or non-contagious type. In the
meantime, however, for the safety
of the public, it has been deemed
advisable by the health department
to stop all deliveries from the
dairy.

it is very important that they have
information concerning exhibits to
be made at the earliest possible
moment. For this reason, Mrs.

ask that exhibitors telephone bu-

as soon as possible, stating the ma
ture of the exhibit they desire to

American Farm Bureau Research
Head Says Crops This Year
VIII Bring More Cash
COTTON PRICES HIGHER
Average VIII Have $40 Extra
for Each Member of Family
If Estimate Pans Out
Bv GEORGE BRITT

CHICAGO, Sept 18.--The aver
age farmers son may be able to
take his girl to town to a show one
more time this winter than he did
last.
The farmers daughter may have
an additional new frock, provided
she doesn't go in for expensive ma
terial and will make it herself.
II, Their father, if he happens to be
one of those rare specimens who
conforms to the average, will have
about $40 more to spend for each
member of his family than when
he sold his crops last year.
Compared to that expansion of
income, even the clerk who got a
modest raise of $40 a month is
making fair progress, and the an
thracite miner who blasted loose
a 10 per cent wage boost is in a
different class.
The announcement is based on
estimates of H. w. Moorhouse, di-
rector Of research of the American
Farm Bureau Federation.
The estimate deals only with
prospective sales of farm products
and reduces to a fourth or fifth,
a previous computation which was
based upon department of agricul-
ture figures for the value of crops,
Incidentally it is the first detailed
prediction ever issued of the gross
cash income from asles of farm
produce.
Sales for the last crop year ag-
gregated $8,479, 100000, Moor
house reports, and the present year,
the forecast is $8,71O, 100000, a
gain of 1921, 100000. The esti-
mate covers 16 leading products,
including crops, livestock and ami
NAL products. The controverted
estimate based on crop value placed
the increase at billion dollars.
"The billion dollar estimate
would indicate that corn alone
would bring $6OO,OOO,OOO more
than last year." expldins Moor
house. 'That assumes that the en-
tire crop is sold as corn at July l
prices. The fact is that at least
40 per cent Of the corn goes into
pork. Only about 20 per cent ac-
tually reaches market as corn"
The gain estimated in the farm

GEORGIA DELEGATION
HEAD LEGION COLUMN

MACON, Sept. 18.-When the
big American Legion parade
is held in San Francisco in
October, in connection with
the national convention the
Georgia delegation will head the
column, according to an annuncG-
ment received here. This honor
has been conferred, according to
the announcement, because the
Georgia department has shown the
largest increase among the states
this year. This will be the second
year that the Georgia department
has won this honor and received
the MacNider cup.

bureau figures is accounted for in
proable increases in the value of
cotton and of dairy and poultry
products. Corn is expected to
bring in more cash. Cattle and
tobacco will bring about the same (;
wheat and hogs less.
The 1921, 100000 estimated gain
in income is to be divided among
approximately one-fourth of the
population of the United States
that proportion deriving its in
come from agricultural pursuits.
"The wheat farmer of North Da-
kota probably is the hardest hit ag-
riculturalist in the country this
year." says Moorhouse. HE is Il
one-crop man, and his crop isn't
producing money. The Minnesota
wheat farmer in many cases makes
money his dairy. The corn-belt
farmer will break just about even
with last year, and the cotton
farmer will show a stable gain"
The crop year covered in the es-
innate is from July to June, the
great bulk of the money being re-
ceived around the month of Octo-
Der.
