THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1913. CROP CONDITIONS OVER THE STATE • TOLD BY REPORTS TO THE JOURNAL BARTOW—The cotton crop in Bartow is above the average, is being picked and sold rapidly. Weather conditions being ideal, the sample is good and is bringing' a good price. The corn crop Is a bumper as compared with^Smy pre vious year. Fodder and hay has been saved, and altogether prospects in this county is that the farmer in better shape than ever before. BERRIEN.—The farmers of Berrien are bringing their cotton in. The cotton crop is fairly good. The corn crop is excellent. BUTTS—Cotton has suffered from excessive rains in Butts county during the past week. The rainfall has injured open cotton without benefiting the con dition of the plant. Potatoes, peas and late truck have been helped by the showers. Hay harvesting has progress* ed well, the crop being notably large. On the whole, though late several weeks, the cotton crop is opening rap idly and gives promise of an early sea son. CHATTAHOOCHEE.—Cotton has made great improvement since the last report in August, due to good rains. Will make two-thirds of a normal crop. Bot tom land cotton good weed and well fruited. Very little cotton picked and ginned in this county to date. Corn is not as good as conceded to be last month. Sugar cane on low lands very fine. Peas and potatoes promise to yield well at this report. CHEROKEE—Fine cjrops and a pros perous year is the report from every section of Cherokee county. Unusual good weather conditions have prevailed, and the corn and wehat crops are ex ceptionally fine. Cotton, though a little late in the planting, is well fruited and opening rapidly. CLARKE—-The recent rains have proven of benefit to late cotton in this section. The crop is said to be very good—above average. Picking was de terred by rains, but the crop is now be ing gathered rapidly. Corn good. CLAYTON—Crop conditions in Clay ton county indicate a crop about mid way between the “big” crop of 1911 and the small crop of 1912. Weather condi tions for the present week have been very favorable for harvesting. Last week’s wet weather was really an ad vantage to the crop, though the delay in gathering seemed against it. Clay ton should make 12,500 bales. COWETA—A six weeks’ drouth, af fecting a Jarge area has caused sharp deterioration in cotton condition in this county, approximating 15 per cent since last report. Rain last week will help some but it came too late to be of much benefit. Picking progressing slow ly. All other crops fine and abundant especially corn. CRAWFORD—Corn, 75 per cent. Cot ton, 70 per cent. The last few weeks crops have deteriorated. Weather con ditions are unfavorable. DEKALB.—The cotton crop is fairly good in this county. On account of dry weather, the top crop is poor. The crop is at least three weeks late in this section. Cotton is now opening rapidly, and picking is general. The crop is fairly good; about 80 per cent is the average for this section. The corn crop is good. Miscellaneous crops through out DeKalb county are good. DOOLY—Probably 45 per cent of the cotton crop in Dooly has been gathered ana marketed. Old cotton is practically all open ano being rapidly picked. Late ' cotton is also opening. This portion of the crop will be short, farmers reporting big weed and no fruit. With favorable weather from now on, Dooly farmers will harvest the heaviest hay crop in the history of the county. With a good corn crop already made, they are in better shape in this respect than ever before. DOUGLAS—It is the consensus of opinion that the outlook for the cotton crop is not so good as a month ago. While the late rains have helped the top bolls it is held that the amount which the rain dnd wind blew on the ground, and which will remain there, will more than offset the good done the top crop, but the truth is there is not very much top crop. The best informed farmers estimate the crop at about a three-fourths yield. The fall crops are looking very well. Corn and forage crops are also looking well, and the promise now is that the feed and bread crops will be abundant. The cotton In this county Is said to be fully one-half open. EARLY—The weather at present Is favorable for gathering cotton, though a light frost has been reported in low ’ places. Cool winds and dry weather prevail and cotton picking is going on rapidly. About 75 per cent has been gathered and about 90 per cent of fruit on stalk is well enough matured to be ■safe from frost. EFFINGHAM—Cotton damaged some by heavy rains of past ten days; gath ering delayed; crop will not be up to the expectation of August. It will be about 20 per cent short of August expecta tion, but as a whole it will be larger than any year in the past by at least 20 per cent, as the acreage is much more; cotton nearly half gathered. Corn partly gathered; much above an average crop. Peas not yet bearing much; just be ginning to bear; much planted. Sweet potatoes late and at present prospect not so good, though may be much im proved. Sugarcane is very good, and the ‘ yield of syrup will be up to the standard. No grain yet sowed, though more than usual is planned for. Farm ers generally in good spirits and will have money. FAYETTE—Excessive rains recently have retarded the opening and picking of cotton and it is feared the crop has suffered from too much rain. Consider able peavine hay and other forage has been harvested. Preparations are al ready being made for fall sowing of oats and other grain. ii n STRAIGHTEN YOU UP When constipated, headachy, bilious, stomach sour, breath bad. Get a 10-cent box now. You men and women who can’t get feeling right — who have headache, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath, dizziness, can’t sleep, are bil ious, nervous and upset, bothered with a sick, gassy, disordered stomach. Are you keeping your bowels clean with Casoarets, or merely forcing a pas sageway every few days with salts, ca thartic pills or castor oil? Cascarets work while you sleep; cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested, fermenting food and foul gases; take the excess bile from the liver and carry out of the system all the constipated waste matter and poison in the bowels. A Cascaret tonight will straighten you out by morning—a 10-cent box from any drug store will keep your stomach sweet; liver and bowels reg ular, and head clear for months. Don’t forgot the children. They love Casca- , rets because they taste goo.d—never gripe or sicken. FORSYTH—The sorghum cane and pea crop in Forsyth county is a record- breaker this year. The dry weather for the past month has cut the cotton crop a fourth or a third from what it was thirty days ago. There will be 50 per cent more corn made in this county than was ever made In one year before. GWINNETT—Crop conditions for this season of the year in this portion of the sl&», would be hard to excel, according to the reports of our best and leading planters, and future business never seemed better. This market has re ceived and shipped about 200 new bales of cotton, which is much earlier than any previous season, regardless of the report that cotton would be two to three weeks late. The unlucky number ”13” seems to represent luck as this is Sep tember 13, 1913, and new cotton bring ing 13 cents. The corn crop is the best the farmers have had in years. HANCOCK—Crop conditions since last report thirty days ago, on account of prolonged drouth, cotton has been cut at least 25 per cent. This percent age to apply to all early cotton and late cotton cut at least 40 per cent. Peas, potatoes also, suffered for lack of rain. All early planted corn generally good; late corn suffered from drouth and not so good. HOUSTON—Cotton crop is opening rapidly. The crop generally is better than last year. It is being rushed to market and most of it is being sold. The pea and hay crop is being gathered and the yield reported good. The local market is being supplied with home grown sweet potatoes, which crop will be up to the standard this fall. JACKSON—All crops in good condi tion. In a few spots of the county drouth and hail seriously damaged cot ton crop, but on the whole the crop is good. Corn is fine and a good yield is assured. The recent rains have not done considerable damage. Forage crops damaged some by continued rains, but not extensively. MADISON—The week’s rain we have had in this part of the st^ite has caused the cotton crop tfo be late in opening But very little has been, gathered and put upon the market. A fair crop will be made, but not as good as was ex pected early in the summer. The corn crop is good and the pea crop is extra good. On account of the rain much fod der and forage has been damaged, and peas have been damaged where they had not been gathered. MERIWETHER—The cotton crop in this county on an average is about three weeks late. The early cotton is a fair ly good average crop. All cotton was badly damaged by dry weather in the latter part of August. I consider the cotton crop in the county about 75 per cent. The corn crop is unusually good, above an average. Hay, peas, potatoes and other crops are about an average yield. MONTGOMERY—Crop conditions in Montgomery county have somewhat im proved since last report. Late cotton is better than the older cotton, but ow ing to a lack of maturity of the bolls will fall short of what was at one time expected. Frost will doubtless also greatly injure it. The corn crop is also short, owing to the drouth, and sugarcane is almost a failure. Pota toes are doing well, but the time within which they have to mature is so short that this crop also will doubtless be short. MUSCOGEE—Cotton planters are much more hopeful of making an aver age crop since the recent rains, which were slow and soaking, and little or no damage resulted. The late or top crop looks fine and the indications are that it will be fine. Ten days ago it appear ed that there would be no late crop. The farmers are considerably behind in their picking, owing to the weather condi tions, but they are quite busy now in efforts to catch up. Labor is scarce, but they are making out in a way, and it is stated that they will have the average crop to market in due time, if they do not run over this amount. Ac cording to news from Harris, Chatta hoochee and other adjoining counties similar conditions prevail, with one or two exceptions, one being that the crop will be somewhat shorter in Chatta hoochee and in Harris the farmers suf fered, slightly from the heavy rain Sat urday night. PIKE—The crop conditions in this vicinity are much better than people thought they would be a few days ago. The rains have ceased, cotton is open ing rapidly and is being picked as fast as possible. The yield will undoubtedly be good, and this fact, together with the present price, will result in prosper ous times throughout this section of the state. The corn crop is above, the average. POLK—Owing to the extremely dry weather in this section and there being no top crop, the cotton crop is off about one-third this season. However, corn is good, showing at least an average yield. Other crops are about an average. PULASKI.—Crop conditions are more favorable than a month ago. Rains last week have helped young cotton and the top crop. Fair weather this week has given the farmers a chance to pick. Prospects for more than an average crop continue good. PUTNAM—A three weeks’ drouth dur ing the past month caused considerable shedding of squares by cotton plants. Aside from this feature crop conditions are generally good as heretofore report ed. Cotton picking is the order of the day and the market here is maintaining good prices with little holding so far. In several sections of the county a very short crop of cotton is reported, with the, belief that all the crop will be gathered by October. Putnam has some of the finest crops reported in years. Your correspondent in visiting differ ent sections of the county has found one farm in particular that should be a model to other Georgia farmers. About eighteen head of horses and mules used on the farm are all home raised. No prettier or better roadsters are to be found anywhere. At present six mule colts and a horse/bolt are to be found in the Meadow Brook farm pasture. One of Putnam’s finest herds of cattle is a feature of the farm, with good revenue therefrom in Eatonton’s co-operative creamery and convenient milk routes. RABUN—It is now conceded that more corn will be harvested in Rabun than for years and from 75 to 100 per cent more than last year. After thor ough investigation, it is now conceded that there is from 35 to 50 per cent of an average apple crop. Irish potatoes, cabbage, onions, rye, wheat and all veg etation excellent, surpassing last year. ROCKDALE—The recent rains and cold weather damaged the top cotton to some extent in Rockdale county, but conditions are still encouraging. ’ There will be above an average yield of cot ton and corn throughout the county. Cotton is opening fast this week. SCHLEY—The condition of the cot ton crop indicates two-thirds of an av erage yield. About 90 per cent of the cotton crop in Schley county was about five weeks late in coming up. The late cotton has a large weed, but the fruit is scattering. The pea crop is unsually poor. Corn and potatoes are a fair yield. Garden vegetables have been almost a failure. SPALDING—Not in many years have the prospects for large crops been as .flattering--** at tife present tone in this section of the state. Although the plant ers were late in getting their crops in, since that time they have had unusu ally favorable weather, with rains just when needed and a sufficiency of warm weather to make them grow. The rains of the past week are causing some un easiness) but it is not believed that any great damage will be done. STEWART.—The continuous rains last week retarded all work on the farms. Cotton has been considerably cut off. It is estimated that the cot ton crop wil not be an average. The corn crop is fair; fine prospects for po tatoes and hay, also peas. The season is good for sowing grain. There is an atmosphere of good feeling among the people generally. The largest and best county fair for years is being agitated. It will be held in Lumpkin on November 8, 9 and 10 next. SUMTER.—The cotton crop of Sumter county is turning out even better than expected and a yield of 35,000 bales for the county, which is a normal crop, seems assured. Rain last week greatly retarded picking, but conditions this week are much better. Late cotton is fruiting all right. Over 10,000 bales have been marketed in Americus to this date already. Farmers are selling as fast as marketed. TALBOT—Cotton is later this year than usual, owing to dry weather in May, but is beginning to come in rap idly and, is being *sold as fast as it is placed in the warehouses. Debts are being paid readily and creditors are generally happy. A great deal of hay has been harvested. The potato crop will be good and peas will be plentiful. Cotton seeds bring a high price. THOMAS.—After making the finest corn crop in the history of the county the farmers of Thomas county are busy picking their cotton,’ which will make above the average crop. The season for picking has been so far a good one, al though there have been some rains to interfere they haVe not been as heavy as in many sections of the state. A fine crop of peavine hay has been harvested and is an industry that is assuming larger proportions every year, being an easy crop to make as well as a very profitable one to the farmers. The sweet potato crop is an unsually good one, both in quality and quantity, and the potatoes are bringing good prices in the market. Taken as a whole the season 1913 has been a most favorable one for Thomas county and the familiar cry of “hard times,” so often heard last year, seems to have been forgotten by them. TOWNS.—Report of crops as follows; Corn above an average, but not as good as was expected; potatoes are about an average crop; cabbage are off one- fourth; the apple crop is about one-half crop, as I have reported heretofore. This covers the products raised in our coun ty. Sorghum cane an average crop. Light frost this morning, but no serious dam- WALTER ANDREWS NAMED [REDUCE SOUTHERNERS HEAD OF BIG COMMITTEE President Asks Him to Invite Many Nations to Panama Exposition BY RALPH SMIJTH. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan have designated Walter P. Andrews as chairman of a commission, consisting of three to visit the nations bordering upon the Mediterranean sea to tender an in vitation both to the officials and the commercial organizations to participate in the Panama exposition at San Fran cisco. The courtesies of the trip under this particular Appointment will also be extended to Mrs. Andrews, and it is ex pected that she will make the trip also. Mr. Andrews was one of the earliest supporters of President Wilson in Geor gia. As chairman of the Young Men’s Democratic league with Governor Hoke Smith, he aided in the entertainment of Governor Wilson when he visited Geor gia to speak at the commercial con gress. Mr. Andrews subsequently was president of the first Wilson club that was organized in the south. Mr. Andrews’ name was suggested for the position of consul general to Paris. It is known here that the president would have designated him for the po sition of consul general but for the fact that he reached the conclusion that no outsiders should be appointed to the ad vanced consular positions but that it was his duty in the development of the consular service to promote men who had already seen service to the higher positions. The tender of the chairmanship ot this important commission to Mr. An drews by the president and secretary of state really gives him a position of higher standing than that of consul gen eral at Paris, and the work entrusted to his charge is lhost interesting and im portant. It will bring him in contact with not only the heads of the leading business organizations, but with the crown heads and prominent officials of all the great countries bordering upon the Mediterranean. It is expected here that the commis sion will sail within thirty days and a man of war may be assigned for their use. Plan on Foot to Decrease the Number of Southerners in G, 0. Pi Convention LOUISI (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—Compre hensive plans to reduce southern repre sentation in Republican national conven tions will be submitted to the Republic an campaign committee by an advisory committee of five members of the house tomorrow. The committee will offer three propo sitions. Each will be based upon the idea that delegates to national conven tions shall represent votes actually cast in elections and not be chosen merely on the basis of population as at present. An attempt will be made to perfect one of these plans in the hope that it may be forwarded to the Republican na tional committee with the idea of an extraordinary national convention next winter to act upon it. YEGGS WRECK BANK ESCAPE WITH BOOTY TWIGGS—Corn, peas, hay, sweet po tatoes are fine in this county, but the cotton crop has deteriorated 7 per cent the last twenty days. Therefore, we can hardly expect a normal cotton crop. WALKER—Crops in Walker county, by August drouth have been very mate rially injured and cut short. Cotton is cut off at least 25 per cent by the dry weather. Corn is also short. Cotton is opening fast and, under present condi tions, will be open and gathered in three weeks. In this county since May we have not had a real good season in ground. WASHINGTON—The cotton crop in this county that looked so favorable at one time does not turn out so abun dantly on picking, but the high price is overcoming th -shortness to a great extent. The farmers there fore as a rule are going to come out all right. The corn crop, which is unusually large, is good generally, while the pea crop in most sections of the county will be ex tremely short. WEBSTER—The corn crops of this county are about an average crop and the cotton is very good, and if no fur ther disaster it* will be excellent as the late cotton is good, but all of it connot make unless we have a favorable fall. Potatoes, turnips and all late vegeta bles fine. WHITFIELD—General rains during the middle of the month broke the pro tracted drouth, but came too late to be of much benefit to farm crops. Only the July crop of cotton and corn will be harvested, crops being cut short. Nevertheless, the county will produce good average cotton and corn crops. Dry August prevented biggest yields in coun ty’s history. WILCOX.—The crop prospects are good in Wilcox county. Cotton will be fully 12 per cent better than last year. Corn, peas, potatoes and sugar cane are simply fine. Everybody is in good spirits, with cotton selling at 13 1-8 cents. The weather is fine for picking; cool and pleasant.

All trace of the men was lost. The finding of two life belts in the river, however, led to the belief that they had perished. The men were confined in a cabin near the hospital ward. They escaped by cutting a hole in the wall, crawling down chutes to the coal pit and climbing the emergency ladders to the upper deck. So quietly did they work that a guard stationed outside the cabin door heard nothing of their movements. All YOUR HEART Does it Flntter, Palpitate or Skip Beats?
