Atlanta, Ga-(Special.) -"For fifty

cause of the Southern farmers lack

in Chicago or Omaha and their corn
cribs in Iowa or Kansas.
"The 1925 cotton crop is going to
| be one of the most expensive to make
we have ever seen. Food, grain, labor
and fertilizer are all high. Every
! pound of food or grain needed by
farm family or working live stock
should be produced on home acres,
and that production started in gar
den and in field just as early as sea
