JOBS FOR FARMERS
WHOM DROUGHT HIT

Atlanta, Ca, September 15.-Of-
fering to give some of the drought
stricken farmers employment, two
South Georgians have written the
Georgia Department of Agriculture
at the State Capitol that they can
employ a number of men in gather
ing crops. Farmers fro mdrought-
affected areas who wish employment
will be put in touch with the South
Georgians if they will write the
commissioner, he told this corre-
spondent today.
Lon Dickey, of Fitzgerald, wrote
that he can use eight men to begin
work now and continue until Christ
mas, and possibly until spring, at
$1.5O a day. He has 400 acres of
grain ready to gather, and the only
man on the farm is the foreman.
Mr.. Dickey saind he will furnish
cook for the men and will charge
them only the actual cost of pro-
duction. He will also furnish hous-
! ing accommodations and railway
tickets necessary.
E. 7. Nottingham, of Roberta,
Ca, that he has good corn and cotton
crops, and needs three families to
help gather crops. He also has two
farms to let out free of rent.

Early Cotton Crop
Forces Price Down

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 16.-The dry
seasonha caused an unusually rap
i'd opening of cotton and correspond
ing speed up of pickin and gining all
the processes of harvesting. :
Since cotton began to move to
market there has been cent or two
decline in the price This is a ma
tural result of dumping" cotton on
the market,a nd farmers would prob
ably serve their own interests to
market their staple more gradually.
There is no occasion for criticising
anybody or any organization because
cotton does not bring it's dull price
when a lot of it is thrown on the
market at once. There is no reason
for saying that anybody is trying to
take advantage of the farmers desire
to get his money out of the crop, and
beating down" the price.
There is a very god economic rea-
son why cotton declines when it is
'rumped" on the market. Cotton is
used over whole year; if more Of it
is put on the market than is needed
to supply current demands, some
body must take the risk of holding it
until consumption calls for it, and
not only take the risk but pay all
the costs, in intesest, insurance and
storage until the timec ONES to con-
vert it into cloth.
When cotton is dumped" on the
market, spectators must bear the
burden of buying the xcess over cur
rent consumption. There is no one
else to do it. They cannot be ex-
pected to perform this service-a
necessary one if the farmer is to sell
his cotton-without satisfactory COM
pensation.
1t is just question with the farm
er whether he will himself bear the
marketing costs of his cotton, or turn
the job over to the speculaotrs and
accept their Discount" for ready
cash. If the farmer musthave the
cash Immediately, he must do the
latter, of course. But if he can carry
his cotton himself for while, and
doesn't believe presentp rices repre-
sent the true value of the product,
his duty as business man should be
plain.

Labor Costs Multiply.

In South Georgia the price now
ranges from 80 centss to 01.25 a
hundred and the pickers are carried
to the fields in automobiles and
tarucks.
In Alabama, and further west, as
high as $1.50 is paid and pickers are
being fed and housed Many are the
cars parked alongside cotton Fields,
in fence corners and in farm roads.
are aristocratic SKIES and eights out
there. The cotton farmer chauffeurs
for his help and is gla dof the oppor-
tunity.
Wherever cotton is grown, the call
is for help and more help. Agents
say the labor has gone to the public
works, meaning highway construc-
ton, building of houses, railroad fac
tory and mines. 1t is explained that
when times are good, the. labor quits
the farmer. When the dull season
in the centers of population
the unskilled labor drifts back to the
farm.
Gathering of the cotton crop has
become such serious question that
many cotton growers are making
strong appeals for help.
Cotton picking is recognized as
tedious task. A good picker can
gather 200 pounds in ten hours; that
is fair average, according to farm
ers. And even the high. price paid on
hat scale it does not reach the price
paid by the public.

ELIMINATE PLAN
 10 MAKE CHANNEL
Economy Causes Action on River
 Bill-.Reed WaKeS WFOth

Washington, Feb. 27.--The senate at the insistence Of President Cool ige and over the vigorous protest of Senator Reed, democraq Missouri, as economy that affects develop ment of natural resources, has elim- mated from the rivers and harhors authorization bill a requirement for completion of the upper Mississippi river channel within five years, The change in the bill as passed by the house was voted when the measure was taken up last night.
 After eliminating the five year provision in deference to the presi- dents objection to binding the bud get bureau to a program of expen- ditures over the period the senate accepted a provision offered by Sena- tor Reed authorizing construction of a permanent navigable channel from the northern boudary of the city of St. Louis to Minneapolis. The chan nel would have minimum depth of six feet and a minimum width of 200 feet.
 Senator Reed, in opposing ellmina- ton of the five year provision de- clared he had no patience with this miserable talk of economy which begins with the finger towels in the White House and tells us that the way to economize is to fall to pre- pare ourselves to take advantage of our natural resources.

ADMITS SHOOTING
 FORMER FRIEND
Olympia Macri Says BagnanO
 Betrayed Her

New Haven, Feb. 27.-Apparently composed after a night in the police lookup, Olympia Macri, IS, known locally for her talent as singer, was taken before Coroner Mix today for further inquiry as to her motive for the fatal shooting late yesterday of John Bagnano,s 20, in front of the Palace theater in Church street.
 The young woman had admitted last night, the coroner said, that she had fired five shots from 8 .3S cali bre revolver at Bagnano who was among scores of persons emerging from the theater. Three shots took effect and Bagnano was hurried to the hospital where he died in 10 minutes.
 The young woman told the coroner and police, they said, that she shot Bagnano because he had betrayed her and had refused to support her child.
 Bagnano, according to police, leaves wife and child. He had just returned from Jersey City where he has recently spent much of his time. He was also well known locally as a singer and was brother of two pugilists, known here as Georgie Day and Kid" Bunyan. He had just come from a theatrical booking office in the theater building and mingled with the crowds leaving the theater, when Miss Macri, who had waited for him, approached him and began firing. She emptied the re- volver before police sergeant, standing nearby, could interfere.
 Two shots only failed to hit Bag nano. One pierced the coat of "Sheik" Leonard, Wallingford pugil- ist, who accompanied Bagnano and another narrowly missed g. newsboy.
 Miss Macri calmly surrendered to two policemen who penetrated the crowds which quickly gathered. "He deserved what he got" she told one of the policemen. T am not sorry and hope he is dead" She was led away to police headquarters through the crowded streets.
 Parents of Miss Macri, who was the third oldest of 10 children of Nicholas Macri, said that her rela- tions with Bagnano had ended plans which they had made for her study of music abroad.
