LONGER LINT FOR
LARGER PROFITS
North Georgia Farmers Suffer
From Introduction Of Infer
ior Cotton Varieties
Movement To Restore Regions Reputa
tion For Cotton Fiber Of Superior
Length and Strength Is
Now On
By C. A. WHITTLE
For a long time North Georgia cot
ton meant a staple o( an inch and bet
ter, silky and strong,— a cotton with a
worldwide reputation. Buyers were
eager to get It—so eager that they were
willing to pay a premium for it.
But a change hac come about. Buy
ers are finding It difficult to get old-
time North Georgia cotton. They must
have lint of good longth, but they are
not able to find much of it in North
Georgia. Consequently the buyers are
going to Arkansas to get etaple that
North Otorgln oan grow, has grown and
ought to bo growing.
"Give us the length,’’ say tbo millers,
"nnd we will pay more for the North
Georg In cotton than for cotton of elm-
liar length grown anywhere else.’’
Will North Goorgln farmers take up
their offer?
When North Georgia farmers under
stand what moet bo done, it Is believed
they will be oagor to Join In a united
effort to restore to North Georgia the
reputation which It has been losing.
Why have North Georgia cottons been
losing their length of staple? It Is be
cause many different and inferior
strains of cottou have been brought in
to the territory. Tbe*> strains have
mixed with the oH line varieties to
produce a mongrel cotton that oan no
longer yield the superior staple.
Realising the eoonomlo lose that this
part of the south Is suffering as a con
sequence of this misfortune, a campaign
hae been Inaugurated to help the term
er get seed of varieties that will bring
North Georgia back unto Ita own. In
this campaign cotton buyers, bankers,
the agricultural college with Its county
agents, cotton mill men end leading
farmers ere Joining.
To get right down to practical thing*,
the Atlanta Commercial exchange In At
lanta hae undertaken without expense
for ita sorvlce, to carry on a caiqpalgn
to Interest bankers and business men in
each town to assist the farmer to pur
chase seed by extending loans or
credit.
In order that the movement toward
better types of cotton may not go amiss,
the cotton buyers, after consulting agrt-
cultural authorities, cotton mill men end
farmers, have listed four loading va
rieties of cotton: Cleveland (any good
strain), College No. 1, Acaia and Row-
don. All these varieties have ranked
at the top for quantity of yield, desir
able length of lint and adaptation to
boll weovli conditions in North Georgia.
In furtherance of Its plans, the ex
change liaa undertaken to moet the
domnnd for seed of these varieties.
They have enlisted the aid of the banka
and the Cotton Storage Finance Cor
poration, of Atlanta. The banks are to
tinanoo the purchase of seed for tholr
respective regluns. The Cotton Storago
Finance Corporation offers free storage
space for accommodating the distribu
tion of seed from the AtlanLa hendquar-
lere.
An important part of the campaign
is to got all tho farmers of a com
munity to use only one variety of cot
ton. If this Is done, tho Beed will re
main pure and tho exchange will be in
position to market these pure seed to
advantage noxt year and subsequent
years, if tbo furmors so dcslro.
Farmers who wish to get seed of the
varieties mentioned may tuk.' the mat
ter lip with their county agent, or local
banker nnd arrange for a co-operative
order of se-d which the Atlanta Com
mercial axchnnge offers to fill without
cost for the service rondored.
Wlmt assurance has the farmer that
he will got a better price for his cotton
if he grows tho better staple?
Tho best assurance is the record of
the prices received each day on the
markets. Take the government's report
of cotton salon In Georgia November 1.
On the Atlanta market strict middling
of 1 to 1 1/14 Inch brought 26 cents,
strict middling 1 inch brought 25 S/8
oents, 7/8 to 1 Inch 24 cents, S/4 inch
22 3/4 oents.
When cotton of the shorter grade
goes on the market in North Georgia
it oomes in contact with Chinese and
India cotton, cotton that Is raised by
oooly labor, the lowsat paid labor in
tho world.
A recent trade report showed that
white longer staples of cotton were sell,
log at 25 1/S to 26 1/S cents, Chlnsse
cotton was selling at IS 1/S to 23 1/1
cents and India cotton at 17 1/2 cents.
Such records are the surest evidence
that growing tbs longer etaple pays.

Staging one of the most sensation

the old West, five heavily armed ban
dits Monday held up a United States

ver, Col., and escaped with three
sacks of money, admitted by officials
to contain approximately $200,000.
The bandits drove up to the mint
in an automobile just as the machine
containing the money left the build
ing. With scores of persons looking
on,three of the bandits dashed for the
rear door of the “cage” of the gov
ernment mnehine while the other two
leveled guns at the driver and two
guards of the money wagon. The
bandits opened fire when insistence
was offered.
One of the guards fell from the
rear of the car with a bullet in his
stomach. He probably will die.
Fifty employes of tho mint, hear
ing the shooting, rushed to the street
and started firing at the desperados,
who had secured three of the sacks.
One of the bandits fell, but his
companions stopped to pick him up
and escaped in their machine.
