OUSLEY OUTLINES COTTON MARKET Representative Farmers Hear Plan to Save Cost j in Disposing of Crop. ip-Hon. Clurcacc Ousley, a disting- Uished TeKan who has served an U- nited States Assistant Secretary of Agriculture and who is recognised as one of the nation's leading authorities on agricultural matters, spoke yester- 'v <^ay morning to a representative gath ering of Polk county farmers at the ' Court House. He presented a com prehensive explanation and logical ad vocacy of the co-operative cotton marketing plan that is proving so successful in other states and for %/hlch Georgia is now beinffc rapidly f organized. Col. Ousley showed that, while it is called the California plan, it has real- *7 Ty been in successful operation in Denmark for fifty years; it was nd- 1 opted nboilt twenty years ago by Californians to save the raisin indus try, and has now been extended by tile farmers of thul state to cover ev erything from prunes to alfalfa hay. A couple of years ago progressive cotton-growers suw the advantages of the plan, and started an organization intended for all the cotton states, and from this fact it is now often called the “‘Texas plan" and the “Okla homa plan.’' In some states the Farm Bureau and in others the Farmers 1 Sing a Song of Sleepy head.

The Ladies Guild of St. James E- piacopal church will hold a LaHt- Minutc Bazar on Friday, Dec. 10th,at 2.30 p. m., at the Community House. There will be lots of little Christmas novelties,useful and inexpensive gifts, dolls, doll clothes and doll furniture; also, lots of things for prowm-ups. You will find it worth whil* to attend In addition to the rale tea and sand wiches will be served. Union have backed the idea, and have iriven it their name, but all the plans owe their origin to the sturdy farm ers of Denmark, and all the contracts are practically identical in wording. Over 100,000 cotton farmers In the South have already signed co-opera tive marketing contracts under the plan, and the five associations which are already completed —thoso of Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Ari zona and North Carolina—alone have a sign-up today of over 1,600,000 bales. The largest association is in Texas, where it is,saving its members from $5 to $15 a hale, according to grade, at an operating cost of $1 a bale. The various associations are pre pared to furnish great quantities of cotton, uniformly graded, for export trade or mill consumption; and the advantage of buying through such an organization is appreciated by the biggest men in the business. The success of the movement ev erywhere hinges, of course, on the signing of the five-year contracts, and an intensive campaign was start ed yesterday for a general sign-up in Polk, and there is every indication that it will meet with great success.

Phillips, of tho Re publican Committee, has not called a meeting of the committee, as reques- f.ted by some of its members, to make measures which they regard as of vi- -±al. interest. Hon. Chas.

IRISH FREE STATE CREATED Pull Independence Within Empire Id (granted—Ulater (given Ite Chdfoe — Quadruple Understanding •n Pacific It Announced In Plenary Seealcn cl, the Conference. By EDWARD W. PICKARD P EACE and amity between Great Britain and Ireland are In sight, after many n long yenr of hitler en mity and Intermittent fighting. Just aa the outlook seemed darkeat, IJoyd George and the Sinn Fein delegates Ar rived at an ngreeiuont that aolved the tnngled problem and algned a trenty which create* the Irish Free Stnte ns n sister nation of the British empire like Cnnada, Australis, New Zealand nnd South Africa. Its constitution Is to be based on that of Canada, nnd the representative of the crown In Ire land la to bo chosen In the same way as the Canadian viceroy. By clever Juggling of words nnd phrases the pence delegates evolved nn oath of alleglniicn that the Irish were willing to nccept. It must he taken by every member of tho Irish parliament nod Is as follows: "I do solemnly swear true faith and allegiance to tho constitution of the Irish Free Stnte ns by low established noil that I will he faithful to Ills mnj- esty King George V, nnd his helm nnd successors by law, In virtue of tho coninmn citizenship of Ireland with Great Britain nod her ndherence to nnd membership of the group of no tions forming the British common wealth of nations.'' Irelnnd is to have her own nriny nnd const defenses nnd to control her own .finances. She admits liability for n share of the British debt, nnd Itrltnln retnlns the right to control certnln porta. As for Ulster, while speedily In formed of the trenty. she Is not even asked to consent to II. The northern counties are to he included In Ihe Irish Free State, with l»enl autonomy, but have n month to decide whether they prefer their present stains, nnd during that time “the powers of the parliament nnd government of the Irish Free Ktnte ahull not he exercis able ns respects northern Irelnnd." If ; Ulster elects to retain her preaent j status, her boundary lines are to be I fixed by a commission of three. At thla writing Ulater hus not acted formally concerning the treaty, hut It Is predicted It will approve It. All Great Urltuln, except u very few of the mnsl rabid Unionists, are enthusi astically for Ihe pact and the southern Irish themselves seem fnlrl.v well sat- 1 Isfled and decidedly relieved. They 1 should he happy, for they gain practi cally everything they have asked ex cept nc’jnl separation from the Brit ish empire. The treaty Is yet to he ac cepted formally by the Irish parlia ment nnd the Hall Klrcnnn and by tho Brltlkh pnrlifliio o'- which tins been summoned to special session. "Presi dent" dll Vjlern declares himself against Ihp agreement, but the real rulers of Sinn Fein are Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins, both of whom signed the pact gladly. Mr. Grlffilli said: "These proposals give Ireland Ihe control of her own destinies nnd plncc our future In our own blinds. They enable us to stnnd on our own feet and to develop nur own clvlllzntlon and national distinctiveness. They constitute a regainment of Irish liber ty after a struggle of centuries." T HE United States, Gseut Britain, Japan nnd France have reached nn agreement for the stabilization of peace In the Pacific, and tills first def inite accomplishment of the conference In Washington was announced nt n • plenary session on Saturday. The plan already had received the Indorsements of the governments In London, Tokl and Paris nnd the approval of the American administration, nnd It Is as sumed that It will he ratfled by con gress when submitted to It, since It Is not drawn In the form of nn alliance or entente which would he distasteful to a large element In the senate. By this agreement the four powers recognize the status quo of the Island possessions of each In the Pacific and undertake to settle by mediation or arbitration any disputes that may arise between two or more of the powers concerning those possessions and thnt are not settled by conference of the fonr power*. Upon the ratification of the pact hy the powers the Anglo-.lnpnncse alli ance Is to be terminated, which will be plenslng not only to the United States hut also to the British domin ions. The.abrogntlon of thnt alliance will make ft safe for America to re- To Meet at Library. This Evening. All ex-soldiers and sailors of the World War nnd especially all mem bers of the Amorlcnn Legion, are urg ed to attend a meeting at 7.30 o’clock this evening at the Library. Matters of much lntcrost to them Will be discussed. Election Wednesday. Next Wednesday is the time fixed by the City Charter for the regular election, when the nominees of the recent white primary will be unani mously elected. While there is never any opposition in Cedartown to the white primary nominees, it Is well for our citizens to take an interest in the matter and turn out and vote. The excellent ticket is as follows: Mayor—Homer Watkins. Alderman 2d Ward—J. W. Good. Aldermun 5th Ward—C. B. Chap man. Members School Board — II. A. Eclwards, E. L. Henderson, J. F. How ard.

Since the other power* are pledged, hy the status quo agreement, to re frain from iiKffresslon against tho Phil ippines the Islands nre virtually neu tralized nnd the United States Is re lieved of the necessity of strengthen ing Its defense* there *and In Guam. The agreement also operates to record the recognition hy America of the .Tnpnnese mnndnto over tho former German Islands that Ho north of the equator, and It was understood thnt the United Stnte* nnd Japan had reached, outside the conference, a set tlement of their dispute* over commun ication nnd commercial rights, espe cially those pertaining to the Island of Yap. With tills quadrilateral agreement reached, It Is believed the other main problems before the conference will 14* speedily solved. The acceptance of the Hughes naval reduction plan Is nt hand, including the 8-5-8 ratio, for even Japan will not hold out ngnlpst It now. The matter of the strength of the French and Italian navies will he settled nt a future conference, ns will he some of the problems relating to China. However, before adjourning, the conference will do all It can with the Chinese questions, nnd the Chinese, when the situation is fully understood hy them, probably will have to be sat isfied with this. Japanese nnd Chinese delegates nre not getting along so well as was hoped In their discussion of the evacu ation of Shantung, and the Intter may yet lusist that the question be placed before the conference without prelim inary settlement. The Chinese feol that they are getting the worst of things In the conference, nnd one or two Important members of their dele gation have resigned. The conference committee on Far East questions has pledged that the nine powers It represents will respect the neutrality of China In future wars, nnd has agreed on u wireless conven tion by which the various government .radio stations in legation compounds shall be used only for government messages, except when ordinary means of telegruphlc communication tre In terrupted. P RESIDENT ITARDINO gave voice to his optimism concerning the con ference In two public addresses last Wednesday. In convening the annual meeting of the Red Cross he said: “I hope with nil my heart that much of the big work which has been yours In the past will never be asked of you again. It will be a wonderful thing for me and for you to have lived In a period when we have brought the conscience of mankind into nn under standing where we shall have done something tangible to prevent calling upon you again for war service. And I like to sny it to you, because I know whereof I speak. We nre going to suc ceed beyond our fondest hopes; It Is getting to be so pleasing to t»e able to say that things never done before we can do now.” To a delegation representing vari ous farm organizations the President said: “This conference will demonstrate the wisdom of Internationally coming together—nations facing each other and settling problems without resort to arms.” Suggested by Polk’s Farm Bureau. What plana shall we make for next year? That la the live question before the farmers of Polk these December days, and it hjis found a wise answer in the action taken Thursday by the Farm Bureau of Polk. Two.Mule Farm. Acres required to grow the food stuffs and feed required for a family of five adult pemons, two cows, three hogs, twenty-five hens and two mules: Corn with peas, 20 ncres. Oats, 4 acres. Wheat, 4 ncres. Cowpea and soy bean hay, 8 uercs. Cottonseed, 10 ncres. Permanent pasture, 7 acres. Sweet potatoes, 1-2 acre. Irish potatoes, 1 to 3 acres, follow ed by sweet potatoes 'or corn. Vegetables, 2-3 acre. Fruit, 1-2 acre. These acreages have been determ ined on the basis of average yields. Many farmers will be able to main tain the farm with fewer acres by se curing yields above the average. Twenty-four acres of crop land are required to grow the neeesary food and feed crops. The eight ncres of cowpeas for luiy follow onts and wheat. At least seven ncres of permanent pasture Hhould be provided for the cows, hogs and workstoek. These crops will meet the require ments of tho average two-mule farm for this section. If more work-stock is kept, the acreage of com, onts nnd cowpeas must be Correspondingly in creased. Likewise, where the family consists of more than five adults or their equivalent, more pigs, chickens and possibly another cow will have to he added. This will call for further increase In the feed crops to be grown. Each farmer will need to adapt this outline to his own farm. Since no two farms nre alike, it is obviously impossible to propose n program that will meet all requirements, but the above is a good working basis. Eloetion of Officer,. The Bureau has elected the follow ing officers for the coming ycar:- Chmn.—E. E. Willingham. Vice Chmn.—‘Miss Annie Brumby. Troas.—J. B. Teat. Sec.—W. H. Rusk. Market Agent—Ira Willingham. County Agent W. H. Gamer re ports seven sweet potato curing hous cs now in Polk. A committee from tho Negro Farm Bureau pledgel the support of tho col orod farm owners of the county to the Bureau program. Rates Reduced. Representatives of the Southeas tern Tariff Association have been in specting the insurance risks in Cedar town the fast few days, and find con ditions so satisfactory that most of th»» rates are to be reduced. Some risks have been made more hazar dous, as a matter of course, but the general tendency is a downward re vision in rates, which is gladly wel comed by our property-owners. It is a merited compliment, too, to our fine Fire Department and its excell ent equipment Notice. Georgia, Polk Connty.
