Land in Georgia and some other
Southern states has increased in
value only as about one-fifth as

crops has shown no such divergence
except in regions which have been

The South, agriculturists here
say, has never capitalized its agri-
cultural possibilities, as is evident
by the fact that in this state onlya

INSECT

Cotton price is high, but this
doesn't necessarily mean high pros
peIity for the growe~. Before the
boil weevil got busy, the American
cotton crop was as big as 16 mil
lion bales a year, The 1928 crop is
not much over nine million bales,
though the acreage planted to cot
ton this year was the largest ever.
A crop of nine million bales at 40
cents pound doesn't bring the
planters much more than 16 mil
8lion at 20 cents pound.

Prior to the bout between Dempsey
and Gibbons, Britton told the world
that Gibbons would stay the Is rounds
but Dempsey would get the decision.
That expert opinion received the
hearty laugh in all sections from the
fistic experts. The result proved
Britton wise guy.
Prior to that was the Kilbane-
Criqui fight Champion Kilhane was
a top-heavy favorite. That didn't
keep Britton from picking Criqui to
win by knockout. 1t SO happened.
When Dundee met Criqui, Britton
picked Dundee to take down the de-
cision. He said, however, that he didn't
think Dundee had the punch to stop
the game little Frenchman. Once more
Britton was right.
So that in the last three big bouts,
Britton has picked the winner, and
qualified it with the correct dope as
to how it would happen.
AS a fighter Britton was the excep-
ton. He has qualified in like man
ner as a ring expert or critic.

KEN WILLIAMS BAT HAS
WOODEN PLUG IN END.
Washington VIII Protest All Games
Lost to st. Louis In Which Stick
Was Used

st. Louis, Aug. 21.--Kenneth Will
liams, home run slugger Of the st.
Louis Americans, uses bat with a
wooden plug in the business end of
it. Umpire George Hildebrand assert
ed he would report the matter to Ban
Johnson, president of the American
League.
Mr.. Hildebrand's announcement fol-
lowed a statement by Manager Bush
of Washington that he would protest
against all victories the Browns won
from the Senators in which the bat
was used by Williams. Bush asserts
the bat is illegal because it is made
out of more than one piece Of wood.
Williams explained he had the bat
made especially for his own use, and
after receiving it he found it bit too
heavy so he had hole bored in the
middle OF it and had the hole plugged
up at the end.
Bushs knowledge of the plugged
bat was obtained recently when the
Washington club accidentally came in
possession of the bludgeon.
Williams later regained the war
club from the Senator's. Williams used
his alleged illegal bat in yesterdays
game with Washington. Manager Aus
tin said Williams would continue us
plug at the heavy end, until Ban
johnson, president of the American
League, ruled on its legality

New York, Aug. 21.-As welter-
weight champion, Jack Britton was a
credit to the game. He fought every
logical contender.
When Britton lost his title to
Mickey Walker, he said he was
through. The lure of the ring, how
ever, was too great and Jack recent
ly essayed comeback with Sol
der" Bartfield, winning easily.
II am not back to regain the cham
pionship," explains Britton, but sim
ply to pick up some easy money by
defeating some of the so-caled logical
contenders. After seeing some of them
in action, I made up my mind that
was far from through"
As a rule champions are poor ex-
perts in picking the winner of big
bout. Jim Corbett has perhaps the
poorest record as ring critic. They
do say that Corbett never has picked
a winner.
. In this respect Britton is decided
