DEFENDS FEDERAL
COTTON FIGURES
North Carolina Agricultural
Economist Compares Hes
ter's and u. S. Statistics.

BY the Associated Press.
| RALEIGH. n. G., October 4.--Noi
| only have the charges against the bu
reau of Agricultural Economies al
| Washington been without loundatloH
! but these charges have weakened the
! department in its work with farmers
/ DR.. &. w. Forster. head OF the depar'
ment of agricultural economies Al
| State College. said last night, In
/ statement to the press.
| Or. Forster said the Government
agencies are probably more nearly
correct in their estimate Of the carry
over of cotton than iS II. 6. Hestef.
, secretary of the New Orleans eX-
! change. who said in recent state
ment that the methods used ny the
| department In obtaining information
about cotton supplies are not trust
worthy.
Mr.. Hester has made serious
charge against the Federal Bureau ot
j Economics" DIR. Forster said. lie
states that the department has over
estimated the world carry over of cot
ton by $50 900 bales and that this had
reduced the price of cotton over 81
a bale. On this difference it may be
we'll to examine the basis of each re
, port and to point out the difference
between them.
| Source of Information.
First we should consider the source
of information. Mr. Hester takes his
from a report by one Mr. Ellison. Mr..
Ellison'S figures are not an actual
census. bur apparently are deductions
made by him with respect 10 the prob
able mill stocks and export stocks. We
can criticize Mr.. Ellison's report on
ha ho II
from original sources"
On the other hand. DIR. Forster said.
the department s figures on mill stocks
are taken from the Internationa
Spinners' Federation. This information
is collected from the actual census of
80 per cent of the worlds cotton mills,
The United States depa rtment raises
the estimate to 100 per cent in order
to include all mills.
This information is given in view of
the apparent misunderstanding be-
tween the origin of Mr.. Hester's and
the departments report. 1t would ap-
pear from this that the depa artment
has an equal claim 10 correctness with
| the Hester report.
Difference in Reports.
1.-The difference between the two re-
ports is indicated by the following
tabula ton:

Totals. $3.50, 900 1885, 900 $4,000
There is a difference of $50. 900
bales between these two reports, l"
said DIR. Foster. 1.-The greatest differ
ence. $4,000 bales. is with respect to
foreign MILL Japanese and afioat
stocks. In other words, the greatest
difference in the reports is in that
field where Mr.. Hester's sources of
information are not known. This does
not mean that Mr.. Hester's report is
incorrect. but that the Bureau of Eco
nomics has no way of determining
it's accuracy. because Mr.. Hester does
not state in detail sources from which
he gets his information"

retired by the beautiful gate to the
outer court again and crossed II TO
that double colonnade which ran along
the exterior eastern wall of the tenn
pie area, in which the disciples fol
lowing in their Lords eXample) We're
accustomed to meet, the multitude of
worshipers hurried after them from
every side and thronged the portico
to catch a glimpse of them. In reply
to their eager looks and questioning
words, Peter delivered a discourse
which brought on his arrest.
Peter Explains Healing the Cripple.
The apostle took advantage Of the
opportunity to correct the wrong view
point of the people and the nation by
asking them two questions-'WhX
marvel We at this Man?" and "Why
fasten your eyes on u.s." These ques-
tions were rebuke of their attitude
and opened up the way for the apostle
to prove Gods eXaltation of Jesus as
the true Messiah in contrast with their
hearers treatment of Him, only on
this occasion his reproaches of them
for their share in the death of Jesus
became more sharp and keen than his
Pentecost sermon. He charged them
with the Lords betrayal, denial and
murder, and aggrayating it by oppos-
ing the righteous Leader and Bringer
of Life, whom they had put to death,
to the insurgent murderer whom they
had saved alive.
The courage Of Peter appears in his
daring to preach to the citizens Of
Jerusalem that Jehovah had glorified
the same Jesus whom they had cruel
fled to be His servant, whose coming
had been predicted by the prophets
from Moses up to more recent proph-
cts His claim that Jesus was the
promised servant Of God was under

Jesus was the Messiah, for the term

their leading prophets had used in
reference to the Messiah. He insisted
that the lame man had been healed
through the power of the Lord Jesus.
whom God had raised from the dead,

In mailing his closing appeal for
them TO repent he suggested as an ex-
tenuating circumstance in connec-
with their guilt. was that they had

speech, how their crime was in fulfill.

He urged them to repent, not only
that their sins could be blotted out
but that they might hasten the return

Christianity met it's first opposition
as result of Peters healing the lame
man when he and John went up to
the temple to pray one afternoon some
time after Pentecost. Luke. who was
a physician, states that he was a
cripple from his birth. He describes
the congenital disease in medical
terms, showing that the difficulty was
in his ankle bones. He was a we'll
known professional beggar, who was
carried to the beautiful gate daily, and
solicited aims from the generous
hearted worshipers as they entered
and left the temple. In answer to his
appeal Peter and John, following the
methods of their risen Lord, healed the
cripple so that he leaped up and
walked, in the name Of Jesus of Naza-
reth. The articulation of the joints
was brought about by the sudden COM
ing into the socket of the bone that
was out of place.
Healing played an important part
in the Masters work. Medical missions
are one of the greatest agencies to-
day in winning men and women to
follow Christ Jesus. In the mission
hospitals the patients are healed of
their physical and spiritual dsea ses
The cures wrought upon their bodies
have helped not only the patients but
their friends to see in Jesus Christ
their Lord and Savior. The prick of
the lance has opened many a heart
and home to the gospel. The testi-
mony of the healed ones moves others
to accept Christ, just as the presence
and participation with the apostles in
Gods praise in the temple attracted
others and brought forth Peters sec.

dress to the multitude in the temple

were acting in accordance with the
instructions given in Deuteronomy
with the purpose of Furnishing them.
Although they faced the penalty OF
death Peter was not frightened by the
august court or their evident hostility,
for lie made a defense that won the
admiration of the court. His opening
question. asking il they We're being
tried for doing a good deed, showed
by its sting of sarcasm that he was
too much for them. They recognized
that he had been with Jesus. just as
being filled with the Spirit always re-
fleets the presence of Christ in ones
life. He declared that the power was
Jesus Christ of Nazareth. ''whom We
crucified." 1t was not the Messiah. or
Jesus. but the One they had crucified
and whom God raised from the dead.
BY using Psalm 11S. he proved that
they were not leading the people away
from God. The court dismissed the
case with orders that they cease to
preach.
Jesus had respected the Sanhedrim,
but the Apostles questioned their
right to abridge their freedom of
preaching the Gospel of the risen

Christ. They recognized that the fight
was on between materiahsm and
spiritual religion. 1t has been on ever
since. Peter pointed to the reality OF
the spiritual faith of Christ by the
evidence OK changed lives and the min.
istry of helpfulness. From the court
room they retired to the church. where
they rejoiced in the victory they had
won. II is still true that the only way
of salvation open TO men in the world
today is through and by the name OF
the risen Lord. In China today the
missionaries and the followers of
Christ are witnessing for the Lord

O'Farrell picks the Giants and the
Pirates as the clubs the Cardinals
will have to beat to win the National
