Notorious Loafer
Gets Jail Term

Atlanta, Gait is better to work
on the chaingang with shelter, food
and raiment provided and have doc
tor. if one is needed, than no job at
all.
Furthermore, loafer or vagrant
is an undesirable parsonage to have
around.
These, in word, are the views
of Judge Frank Guess, Of the city
court of Decatur. He expressed
them when Isaac Parker, negro,
was arraigned before him on charge
of vagAncy, which in the eyes of the
law, is defined as "having no visible
means of support"
Isaac, it appears, is back now, for
a twelve months period, at his old po-
sition following lOafing spell which
he spent in the vicinity of Oglethorpe
University He slept in the woods at
night and begged his food from door
to door at the homes around the col
lege. In addition to being a general
nuisance, he was said to be sort of
scarecrow among the ladies in the
fashionable college community. So
far as known Isaac was harmless, but
his appearance was somewhat against
him. He had frightening effect
upon those he encountered in his
lonely walks.
Isaac, DeKalk county is going to
give you a job on twelve months
contract" said Judge Guess, as the
man was brought before him by
county policemen. "There is no week
ly or monthly pay envelope attached,
but it insures shelter, food and raj
ment, and as I mad add, doctor in
case you become i'll and need medi-
cal attention. | am of the opinion
that you will be better off with all
these things provided than you would
be sleeping in the woods, particular
ly in bad weather. Gentle breezes
do not blow nor the birds sing all the
time as you know. You will also es-
cape the slamming of kitchen doors
in your face, which necessarily you
have to encounter in begging food.
1t may go hard with you for awhile
to WELD pick and shovel after being
ont of training but it won't take long
to build up your muscles and the
county's supply of food will be more
than sufficient to meet the cores
ponding increase in your appetite,
though from | have learned you have
an extraordinary capacity for food"
"Thank you, boss" said Isaac as
he shuffled out of the courtroom in
the custody of an officer on the way
to his ne wplace of abode.

BY p. r. BOMEISLER
Vice President, Georgia
Association

One arresting fact faces all of US:
Our farms must get away from all
cotton production. We have been
trying for some years to raise cotton
at a loss and pay-out of the pro-
ceeds-some $1500,O00,00O per year
for food and feed-stufFs for these
same farms; food and feedstutfs
which can be raised on these farms
successfully instead of the cotton
cotton which brings the loss.
The virgin cotton lands of West
Texas-millions of acres which have
been brought into cotton production
or are in process-have a permanent
advantage of seven cents per pound
| over Georgia in cotton raising. That
is, these acres in Texas will produce
cotton at seven cents less cost per
pound than our Georgia acres will
produce it. Thus, Texas cotton farm
ers can make money when cotton is
, selling at a price which is ruinous to
Georgia farmers and to banks, mer-
camille houses, and the remotest busi-
ness in the remotest city which backs
such cotton production.
That is our problem. Every inter-
est is affected by it, either directly or
indirectly. In such situation it can
not be said that the present Cow
Hog Hen movement of the Georgia
Association is merely "more preach
ing to the farmer" 1t isn't only the
farmer who needs the preaching; per-
haps he needs it least, sine che feels
the grinding result at the start. Our
bankers aud our supply houses and
all the rest who are still committed
to the cotton system and re keeping
the farmer, willy nilly, by the con-
troll of credit, in the cotton system
and are keping the farme" willy nilly
by the control of credis. il the sotton
system-these are the folks who need
the preaching even more.
It is our hope through the Cow
Hog-Hen week that the hopelessness
of the all-cotton system was brought
home to all our people, so that they
will help the farmer in the normal
business way to get into livestock pro-
duction, to grow the food for his own
family, to kill few hogs a year and

A cotton research and service pro
gram aimed at the better coordina
ton of cotton supply and demand an
for the purpose of increasing cotto
consumption in the United States ha
been put into operation by the Bu
reau of Agricultural Economics
United States Department Of Agri
culture.
There is reason to believe, ac
cording to bureau economists, "tha
if all the possible new uses Tor cottol
were taken advantage of, the con
sumption of cotton in the United
States might be increased about z,
100000 bales a year"
An outstanding feature of the pro
gram is the collection of production
and consumption data on cottor
grades, staple and character under
the direction of DR.. H. B. Killough OF
Brown University, who has been
placed in charge of the bureaus cot,
ton utilization work.
This year typical samples of cotton
grown in different parts of the belt
will be gathered, and estimates will
be issued periodically during the mar
keting season on the grade, staple,
and character of cotton produced.
These estimates will indicate the rel
ative scarcity or abrndance Of cottons

whether cotton is high or low in grade

project being a study of cotton quo
tations, the factors influencing them,
and how they are actually made in
both futures and spot markets. The
bureau plans ultimately to study the
marketing process all the way through
from producer to spinner.
Doctor Killough made a prelimi-
nary survey last summer of the utili-
zation of cotton in the manufacture
of basic fabrics. This work is to be
continued for the purpose of listing
the basic fabrics made of cotton and
their customary uses, and the grade,
staple, and character of the cotton
used in the manufacture of the warp

basic fabrics. Information on the

per cent in the manufacture of cotton
into substitutes for iute, say bureau
economists, and that as many pounds
of cotton would be required in the
manufacture Of these substitutes as
is consumed in the form of jute,
there would be required to replace
three of our principal jute imports,
about 100000 bales of cotton.
The bureau is promoting interest
in a plan to develop increased wear
and increased uses of cotton for
clothing Studies now unde way in
the Bureau of Home Economics of
the Department of Agriculture, it is
believed, will yield valuable sugges-
, tions as to new types of fabrics which
might be created by expert designers
/ and manufacturers. Two opportuni-
ties seen by the bureau in the case of
mems wear are the manufacture of
shirtings to compete with those of
foreign manufacture so extensively
worn in this country, and summer
suitings.
A comprehensive analysis of the
annual demand for cotton stated in
terms of grade, staple, and character
should tend to make prices reflect
values more accurately, in the view
of bureau economists. The work un-
dertaken by Doctor Killough is plan
ned to serve as basis for extending
existing uses of cotton and creating
new uses; and to be used in assisting
producers to supply the grades, sta
pies and characters of raw cotton
which manufacturers can spin, weave,
and otherwise fabricate most effec-
lively in supplying the consumer, in
dustrial and. other demands for cot
ton goods.
The work is intended to assist pro-
ducers of the several growing regions
to select varieties of cotton that will
produce readily marketable fiber and
that are best adapted to their soil,
climate and other growing conditions,
and will be employed for measuring
the demand for cotton, and assist
growers to stabilize production ade-
quately to meet these demands with
minimum losses of productive effort.
Doctor Killough was raised on a
cotton farm in Southwest Texas. He
worked two years in farm manage
ment extension at the Agricultural
and Mechanical College of Texas, and
was an instructor one year at the Uni
versity of Minnesota. He was farm
management specialist for a year at
Michigan Agricultural College, and
has held several appointments in the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics as
associate agricultural statistcian, ag-
ricultural economist, and consulting
specialist.

record for stock four-cylinder cars
over five-mile distance. The

in six minutes, 81 seconds. This
notable performance was done at

During the grueling test the
