of silk. or what looks like silk
The third reason, substitution OF
other material is partly covered by
the above. In addition, heavy goods,
such as sugar and cement bags, have
been made of jute, and experiments
have been made in manufacturing au-

taurants, offices and railroad stations
paper towels are now being used in
stead of cotton towels. Thousands Of
cheaper grade restaurants no longer
supply table cloths. but have tables
with marble slabs instead, and the
serviettes are made of paper. In house
holds table cloths have been greatly
replaced by little mats. These latter
methods are not likely to be changed
unless the price of cotton and labor
should go much lower, but we do not
think that the general public would
really oppose buying cotton goods on
the basis of even 80 cents for raw
cotton if it were not for the craze for
silk goods. Considering the weight of
cotton garments, a difference of price
of even 5 cents per pound would make
practically no difference if it would
become fashionable to wear cotton
goods.

HEAT DESTROYS CROP;
TEN PERATURE 1922
FARM CONDITION IN SOUTH
ERN RUSSIA REPORTED AS
BAD. MUCH SUFFERING.

Hot. dry weather has played havoc
with crops in southern Russia, where
the great farm experiment OF the
Krupps is located In the heart of the
Don province the Krupps, formerly
manufacturers of guns in Germany,
have bought up thousands OF acres OF
plains land for agricultural purposes.
The charge has been made that the
Krupps intended the land as location
for system of foundries and steel
plants so that the manufacture OF
guns might be pursued without inter
ference by the allies and the treaty
of Versailles, which prohibited the
famous gun manufacturers from turn
ing out their product.
Few Strangers Visit Province.
The land is situated in an isolated
province, seldom visited by strangers
Recently, however, an American tour
ist visited the farm and was given OPP
portunity to see what was being done
The farm is being run by corps OF
nine experts and 40 laborers, the ma
iority of whom are Russians.
Ten thousand acres are under cul-
tivation. The hay crop has been fair,
but the other crops have suffered from
the exceedingly hot weather and the
armies of insects which made their
appearance with the coming of the
torrid weather. The temperature has
run up some days as high as lZz de-
grees.

GEORGIA HAS HAD A
MOST WONDERFUL YEAR
VALUE OF STATES CROPS IS
PLACED AT 100000 DOL
LARS MORE THAN IN 1923.
MAY TAKE THE FIFTH PLACE
Cotton, Peaches, Tobacco, Truck and
Various Other Products Have Con-
tributed to Almost Unprecedented
Wealth of Farms This Year.

Georgia's crops will bring more
than $l0O,0000OO more this year than
in 1928, and the state will advance
from eighteenth place, which it held
last year, to fifth or sixth in the rank
ing of agricultural states of the union
if the latest estimates of the United
States Department of Agriculture are
borne out through the remainder of
the season until all crops have been
marketed.
The latest estimated value Of Geor-
gias crop this year is 1887, 942, 900
compared with $236,000,000 as the val
uation of the 1928 production.
In addition to an estimated yield
of more than 100000 bales of cotton
the state this year has produced rec
ord crops of tobacco and peaches,
while the watermelon crop has been
equaled only once or twice previous
", the report says. In addition more
truck crops have been raised than
ever before in history, while poultry
production also has exceeded all pre-
vious high marks.
Production of tobacco this year,
which raised Georgia to one OF the
major weed growing states, is esti-
mated at 23,650,000 pounds, at an aver
age value of 25c per pound, or total
of nearly $6000,000.
The record growth OF peaches, T.
100000 bushels, it is estimated will
be worth over $11,000,000; while the
watermelon crop is expected to bring
$2,555,000 to the producers of the
state, according to Commissioner
Browns forecasts. More than $780,
100000 is expected from the cotton
crop.
Other major crops are valued in the
estimates as follows: Corn, $75,00O,-
900; sweet potatoes, $13000,000; cot
ton seed, $22,000000.
Last years compof tie figure OF .
at this time for the l0-year average
| OF all crops has been doubled, the re.
| port continues, placing the lO-yeal
average condition figure for 1924 al
1913.
1t was pointed out that when crops
are normal Georgia usually ranks be
tween fourth and seven positions Of
the leading agricultural states.

FLOATING ISLANDS"
FOUND IN PHILIPPINES
HAVE PALM TREES, MONKEYS
AND MANY BIRDS OF BRIL-
LIANT PLUMAGE.

Are we quite sure of it? Captain
Jones Pendelbury, of the steamship
President Adams. has his doubts.
While negotiating the sea off the is
land of Pa1awan, in the Philippines,
he came upon eight sections OF terra
frma-he calls them "islands"-all OF
which were ahoat and in motion. The
largest had an area of about seven
acres, passed within four feet of the
ship and afterward logged its trail
for several miles. "Cocoanut palms
100 feet high grew on the islands, and
thousands of monkeys, screeching and
chattering, heaved cocoanuts at us,
while brilliantly plumaged birds soar
ed about the vessel" 1t proved what
this navigator calls "a ticklish mo-
ment," contrary to all the charts he
had on board.

Officials Pleased.
So pleased were administration Of
fcials with the London agreement that
there was some discussion today OF
the probable date for the summoning
of the new conference, and it was I'M
derstood that President Coolidge
hopes to see the Dawes plan operating
to such an extent that the call could
90 out in October. This would make
It possible for the conference, which
would discuss the limitation OF sub
marines, aircraft and land armies, to
meet in Washington next winter or
in the spring of 1925. Reports to the
state department indicate that all OF
the world powers are willing to CO.
operate with the United States in this
new effort toward international peace
No less interested in the repara-
tions settlement than the state depart
ment were department of commerce
officials, who expect a great increase
in world trade to follow the operation
of the Dawes plan.

Ask Women to Discard

! Be Demolished by Their Vanity.
ATLANTA, Ga.-PIedge cards are
flooding the mails-ff one may judge
by those received in Administering
women to promise that they will abb
lure, discard and look with scorn up
on offensive costumes" of every
shape, description, kind and class.
There is no doubt about it, if one may
believe the puritanical folk. All those
who are accustomed to view with
alarm and eye with distrust are thor
ughly convinced that the very tounda-
tions of society are about to be de-
molished by the dynamite of woman's
vanity.
But things are not as bad as they
seem, according to Atlanta fashion ex-
perts, particularly those in the fash
ionable center of the Peachtree Ar
cade, Atlanta's uptown mecca. There
is no real reason to throng the parlia-
ments Of sorrow or to crowd the cav
alcades of terror, according to these
experts.
Consolation From Afar.
Consolation for the timid, the fash
ion experts show, comes from afar,
from buried city from day whose
sun set long ago. A Russian profess
sor, the learned Semenoff Zusser, ca
bles the civilized world that, after
delving into the ruins of Olyva, on
the Black sea, town that was one
of the Fairgrounds of the world TWEEN
ty-six hundred years ago, he has open
ed a woman's grave. In the tomb ne
found in a state of fine preservation a
vanity bag, hand mirror, lipstick, eye
brow pencil and TUFTS of false hair,
not to mention all sorts of earrings,
beads and bracelets,
Gould anything be more apt or
timely?" said a local fashion expert.
Just as the mourners weep for an
America crushed under the Juggernaut
of woman's immodest vanity the doc
tor-professor turns up with his delv-
ing spade irrefutable evidence that the
world has lasted 1000 years after wo-
men used the very things which to-
day are labeled the ruination OF the

Made at arsenal IN Maryland
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The cot
ton raisers' problem of the boil weevil,
which every year causes damage of
about $300,000000 to the southern
crop, has been taken up by the Chem
ical Warfare Service of the army.
This organization is seeking a means
of poisoning the boil Weevil out of ex-
istence.
Experiments just begun in the lab
oratories at Edgewood Arsenal, Mary
land will try to develop poison prob
ably 10000 times as strong as calcium
arsenate, which already has been used
| in the Department of Agricultural
war against the pest. To do this, of
fcials of the Chemical Warfare Ser
vice here said combinations of all
known poisons will be made and
studied until satisfactory dose" is
evolved.
Calcium Arsenate Too Costly.
If possible the chemists hope to
produce something that will be dead
~ to the weevils without being in
furious to the cotton plants. However,
if they are not successful in this they
will try to produce poison more
deadly than anything now known so
that it can be diluted with some car
rying agent before being used. The
idea OF this concentrated poison is to
cut down the cost Calcium arsenate,
while it has been found to be some
what effective, is expensive and has to
be applied several times.
This deadly poison if the chemists
are successful in their tests, would be
applied after the cotton has been pick
ed so that the destruction of the plant
would cause no damage. After the
cotton has been picked many OF the
pests manage to survive the winter
and a pair of them is capable of pro-
ducing 100000 young, the scientists
saw. Thus the army engineers believe
that if they can get their poison to
work before the young are born they
will be able to make much progress
! in cutting down the boil weevil pop
ulation, which is now playing havoc
in the south.
Chemists Coming to Georgia.
How the poison will be applied is
vet to be determined Airplanes might
be used to spray it over the larger
plantations, but officers of the Cheml-
cal Welfare Service doubt if this
means would be practicable to reach
the weevils on the numerous smaller
cotton farms.
The experiments will be made near
Griffin, Ga. H. w. Walker chemist,
and H. S. McQuaid, associate chem
ist, at Edgewood, have left for Griffin
to study the situation there.
This work is. being carried on by
the Cehmical Warfare Service under
! $4,000 appropriation included in the
last war department appropriation bill
at the instance of Senator Harris, OF
Georgia
The Edgewood Arsenal also is ex-
perimenting with poisonous paint to
prevent destruction Of piles and
wharves by marine animals that at
tach themselves to these things.

"Cartwheels" to Replace Silver Ger
tifcates Now in Circulation. Already
Widely Used in Western States.

Predicting that an annual saving OF
81 100000 would result from their use,
the treasury department at Washing
ton has announced that between $40,-
100000 and $50,00O,O0O of silver dol
lars will soon be unloaded on the pub
lie.
Approximately $5O,OOO,0OO in silver
dollars is now in circulation
In announcing the proposed circu-
1ation, Under Secretary of the Treas
ury Garrard B. Winston declared that
the Increased use of silver dollars
would permit the treasury to main
tain its paper circulation in better
condition.
ct is the desire of the treasury, .
said Winston, "to restore to general
circulation silver dollars which for
mer1y represented a material portion
of the money used by the public. 1t
is the treasury's plan to invite the as
sistance and cooperation OF other
government departments, as well as
banks and civic organizations gener-
ally, in acquainting the public with the
desirability of accepting the silver dol
lars as an auxiliary to the paper dol
lar in the interest of a better quality
of paper currency and of economy to
the government"
Put Silver Dollar in Each Pay
Envelope.
In formally launching the circula-
ton drive, the treasury department to-
day placed a silver dollar in the pay
envelope OF each of its 1000 employees
During recent years the govern
ment annually issued about $3.50, 600,
900 in paper money. The average lie
of paper currency is estimated at SIX
months and the average annual main
tenance cost of a paper bill is three
cents. Huge sums are expended IN re-
pairing mutilated currency while re-
issues of currency also are costly.
Treasury officials pointed out tina
the life of silver dollar is virtually
unlimited, and their employment II
circulation will eliminate the expen
sive replacement of paper currency
which occurs twice annually.
While widely used in the west silver
dollars are almost extinct in states
