Farmers Ruinous Days
Are Passed; Future Is
Bright Wallace Saws

Secretary Of Agriculture Henry
c: Wallace outlined progress in
1922 az follows:
"The year 1923 should see q more
nearly normal relation between
things produced on the farm and
articles produced in cities and in
dustrial centers.
Wages in cities being high still,
farmers and farm laborers will be
drawn from the agricultural dis
tricts, which points to a reduction
in crop production and an increase
in the price of farm products. -
I'VE have had three heavy crop
years. By the law of averages 1t
is reasonable to expect the yield
for 1928 to be less. Farmers in 1922
got practically 100000, 900 more
total money for their crops than in
1921. The entire farm situation is
greatly improved after the most
severe agricultural depression the
country has ever experienced.
Farmers are buying more freely.
The effect on business generally
should be helpful"

BOSTON, Jan. 1.-The year 1923
is going to be a better year than 1922.
We have much to do in filling up
and laying foundations, and these
foundations are prospective Of better
financial results. The balance in
corporations Is going to be more than
$500 ,0O0, 900.
This means that they wiz make
profits in 1923 as well as in 1924, and
this in itself will have its effect upon
business in general.
Crops will bring more. The farmer
will get 80 per cent more on them.
Don't expect sudden results. It 10

Connected With Tragedy.
Teegerstrom's disappearance is
believed to have some connection
with the agitation in Morehouse
parish over the discovery Of the
mutilated bodies Of Watt Daniels and
Thomas Richards in Lake LaFour-
che, at Mer Rouge. He IL said to
have given information to authorities
investigating the murder OF Daniels
and Richards.
The youth, thought to have been
kidnapped. recently returned from q
visit to Charleston. w. Va.
He had shared q room in his
boarding house with q youthful
companion, Dean Ashcraft. Ash
craft was awakened by the call for
9eegerstrom and heard him go
down the stairway and leave the
house. Whether or not Teegers-
from entered the automobile voIun-
craft does not know. The boys
were occupying q room on the sec
Ond floor OF the place.
Believes He Is Kidnapped.
q. T. Bennett. employer OF young
IeegerBtron, believes the lad is be.
fng detained somewhere against his
win, a. Bennett has received no
word from the boy since Friday
night.
Tsegerstroln had worked in Sty-
Ter. but had lived in Monroe. The
affair has given rise to q big crop
OF rumors, and there is much spec
ulation as to why the boy was car
ried off by the group of men who
called to get him In an automobile.
Teegerstrom has no relatives in
Monroe, so fas as known. and eff
forts are afoot to trace his people
elsewhere.
Identified BY Embroidery.

bodies last week after their murder

MuIhern, deputy coroner, told the

Positive Identification OF the bodies,

HARDING To HAVE
LITTLE OPPOSITION,
DAUCHERTY SAYS

MIAMI, Fla, March IA state
ment by Attorney General Harry M.
Daugherty, declaring that President
Harding would be renominated and
reelected with little opposition, was
issued here today.
Because of the close relations be-
tween the president and Mr.. Daugh-
erty, this is regarded as the start
Of Mr.. Hardirgs 1924 campaign.
Mr.. Daugherty was the presidents
pre.convention manager in 1920.
Today's statement followed a talk
between Mr.. Harding and Mr.
Daugherty, which took place last
night.
At the same time, it was learned
that Mr.. Harding's trip to Alaska
next summer will be virtual trans
continental campaign tour.
President Harding's denomination
and reelection will be the result Of
the demand of the nation and of the
Republican party, the attorney gem
eral said.
"The president will be. renomi-
mated without serious opposition,
he said.
"Only one man is likely to run
against him for the nomination. He
won't get far. 1t IS not necessary
to lay campaign plans or name cam
Daign managers, because the cain
pign is going to manage itself. OF
course we will have to have an elec-
ton, but it will all be very easy.
Within the next year, the benefits of
the Harding administration are going
to become clear to the country in
spite of personal attacks Of cheap,
mouthy people,
Mr.. DaughertY &C Z 0''v thing
that would make Mr.. Harding de-
cline to run would be failure OF
his health. The campaign issues,
he declared, will be:
Taxation.
Law enforcement.
"The record of the department
of justice" indicating his belief that
attacks on him are to continue), "and
whether this shall continue to
be a. government of law and order
or be. dictated to by that sort of in
digestion that comes from abroad
Mr.. Daugherty's reference to the
benefits of the administration be-
coming clear to the nation is taken
to apply to the presidents campaign
trip across the country to Alaska
and back this summer during which
his policies will be defended.
The details have not been worked
out, according to present plans,
the president will leave Washington
in June or July, and cross the eoun-
try by the northern route. Stops
probably will be made at four or
five cities, with perhaps briet
speeches at each.
In this swing, Mr.. Harding will
invade the states where manifesto
tions of uprisings against regular
Republican control have been seen
in the recent elections. On his re-
turn from Alaska, the president Will
take the southern route to Wash
ington. Stops will be made in the
farming states of the west.

COLUMBIA, S. c., March ia
fight to prevent adjournment Of the
present session of the general assem-
bly, until appropriations are reduced
looms in the house as result of a
resolution presented by thirteen
members of the so-called farm bloc.
The resolution provided in effect that

Indefinitely unless the general APP
preparation bill which, as it passed
the senate, bears total of $8,125,-
600, is cut to figures not exceeding
that Of last year. The resolution I'M

The resolution would order cut

ference committee; provide that
state and county officials should
have their salaries cut wherever
feasible, and would deny permanent
improvements to public institutions
at this time.
The appropriation bill was ready
to go to conference.
The sales and occupational tax bill

1000 HAVE JOINED
GEORGIA COTTON
COOP IN z WEEKS
Field Forces Turn This Week
TO Southwest Georgia g.
900 New Members Signed
Since February |

With the record of more than p
900 new members signed up in eight
counties in the past two weeks, and
about 5000 since February ], field
forces of the Georgia Cotton Grow
ers' Co-operative association turn
this week to southwest Georgia.
Beginning with a meeting Tuesday
afternoon at Sylvester. they will lay
before the farmers of Worth, Mitch
ell, Grady, Seminole, Decatur and
Colquitt counties the accomplish
ments in marketing cotton co-opera-
lively during the present season, and
the promise of even greater things
when a larger proportion of the crop
OF the state is so handled.
Meetings will be held at Cairo on
Wednesday, Donalsonville on Thurs
day, Moultrie on Friday and Camilla
on Saturday, with other dates to be
arranged.
The campaign which has just
closed in Telfair, Wilcox, Jeff Davis,
Coffee, Irwin, Crisp Ben Hill and
Turner counties has proved remark
ably successful, and the addition of
1000 members to those who had pre-
viously joined makes it certain that
the cooperative association will ham
die next year more than half of the
crop produced in that territory.
Many of the larger farm owners in
the district have become members,
notable among them being Judge
Max L. McRae, who normally pro-
duces 500 bales a season.
The field forces have been great
ly aided in their campaign by the re-
cent payment of third installment
on cotton handled this season, bring
ing the total payments SO far to 20
cents a pound, which is u higher
price than 80 per cent of the indie
pendent farmers of Georgia got for
their cotton last fall. A final pay
ment of between 5 and 10 gents d
pound will be made before the end
of the season, the amount depend
ing on the future course of the mar
ket.
It is understood that the asso-
citation has sold in the past ten days
Il good deal of cotton at considerably
above 80 cents.
