Atlanta, Ga„ April 16.—In addition to the fact that the price of cotton, the coining season, will depend large ly upon the acreage planted through out the cotton states, the labor prob lem this year has assumed a more serious phase than ever before, and the time has come when the farmer must figure more carefully on this ele ment In estimating the cost of produc tion. President M. L. Johnson, of the Georgia division, Southern Cotton / Association, calls particular attention to thiB feature In a statement Issued today to the farmers of Georgia. President Johnson says: “I feel It my duty now more than ever to warn the farmers of Georgia against overplanting, against planting In cotton that land which you know from experience to be unprofitable, land which will yield you no return for the Investment of labor and capi tal, for the time has come when this, class of land Is going to be more ex pensive’ than It has ever been before. If you have land which yielded you no return last year, or upon which you planted at a loss, you will lose more this year If you plant that same land In cotton. . “From all parts of the Btate there have come to me reports of a^greater scarcity of labor than has ever before been known. The Bltuatlon, so far as the farmer 1b concerned, has grown worse "Instead of Improving. It has almoBt reached the point where It Is not a question of the amount of wages paid, but of getting sufficient labor at any price whatever within reason. It Is needless for me to point out what the consequences of this will be. The planter who seeureB the necessary la bor to hoe and cultivate that acreage which has heretofore proven profit able, will he fortunate Indeed. Is It not apparent, therefore, that the plant ing of any heretofore unprofitable acreage will prove a greater loss than has yet been experienced from It? Here, then, nre two reasons why all poor and unprofitable land should be cut out: In the first place, the very planting of It. will affect the market price of your crop to your disadvan tage, and In the second place It wjll cost yon more to make cotton on It than ever before. “I have noticed In my travels over .the state In the Interests of the asso ciation that some farmers have with wise foresight met these conditions and nre not planting their poor land In cotton. Have you done likewise? It ■ Is to your own interest to do so. Let me appenl to you to do It. “M. L.

Half Deaf People. “If you arc deaf In one ear,” said the boilermaker, “I don’t care about giv ing you a Job.” “Why?" asked the applicant. “Because you cau't tell what direc tion sounds come from; hence In a place like this you would be In great danger." “IIow do you know I can’t tell whut direction sounds come from?" tbe ap plicant demanded. “No person deaf In one ear,” replied the boilermaker, "can do so. A man deaf In ouc ear will look behind him If a gun goes oft on his right. Ho will took up In the air If a child shrieks at his feet. He will look wildly in front of him If a locomotive whistles in his rear. A boiler shop Is no place for such a man."

He was nskod by the late James O. Carter, then, a member of the firm, to give an opinion In writing. When this was submitted It was observed by Mr. Car ter that, with the touching confidence of a neophyte, the young southerner had begun with the expression, “I am clearly of opinion." When this caught his eye he smiled and said: "My dear young friend, never state that you are clearly of opinion on a law point.
