munity, it is desirable to keep on each
farm, a small flock of sheep not only
because they should be a good finan

government needs the wool and the
consumers need the meat thus pro

however, to enforce a nation wide law
preventing the slaughter of ewe
lambs, since in the West where sheep

be impossible for the flock owner to

WEEKLY LETTER
FROM J. J. BROWN
SOME INTERESTING FACTS CON
CERNING THE OLD AND NEW
COTTON CROP.
Atlanta, Ga., July.—In an official
statement issued by the Cotton States
Official Advisory Marketing Board,
following its New Orleans meeting at
which plans were made for the grad
ual marketing of the 1918 cotton crop
the board pays tribute to the national
administration for the splendid show
ing made in handling tho wsy, express
es regret that there should be any
pessisism at all with regard to hand
ling the cotton crop, and gives as
surance that, with thep roper spirit
of cooperation, the crop can be hand*
led with satisfaction to all concerned.
The amount of the old crop car
ried over, the board points out, will
not be as large as it has been many
times in therecent years. The car
ry-over this year is 4,231,000 bales
as against 5,006,000 in 1916 and 7,-
730,000 in 1915. It is about 300,000
bales larger than in 1917, caused
wholly by inability to ship cotton
abroad, and not by any lack of de
mand. As a matter of fact, the
world’s stock of cotton is lower than
it has been for a long time; and what
there is will be eagerly taken up
son as ships can be provided.
Nevertheless, the board recognizes
the fact that in order to handle the
cotton on hand and successfully mar
ket the growing crop, at fair and
equitable prices, all the people of the
south must lend their best efforts to
the consummation of this purpose. In
this connection the board says:
The cotton farmers must realize
now that they will not ask the cotton
trade to absorb the entire cotton crop
in three or four monhs, as has often
been tho practice in the past They
must determine that they will market
the crop only as the trade demands it.
Further the board states:
“The bankers of the country must
not only assist in every way in financ
ing the cotton crop, but must encour
age the cotton farmers to pursue the
policy that will least tax the nbility of
the banks to handle the situation.
The merchans of the country to
whom a largo percentage of the farm
ers arc indebted, must collect the ob
ligations as slowly as coifcistent with
practical business methods ond, like
the banks, must encourage the farm
ers to market their cotton gradually.”
Tho board finds that tho cost of
producing the 1917 crop, based on fig
ures received from all the cotton pro
ducing states, averaged approximate
ly 3 cents per pound.
According to the ynited States
States Census Bureau, there are 2
000,000 families in the south engag
ed in the production of cotton. Based
on thel ast crop of less than 12,000,-
000 bales, or an average of six bales
to the family, this gives each family
an average of $900 or only $75
month.gross, for those owning their
land. For the 60 per cent of
tenants who pay one-fourth rental,
the average income was only $675 a
year or about $56 a month gross.
The board says no one will seriously

GEORGIA PEACH CROP
BRINGS GOOD PRICES
Atlanta, Go.—The value of Geor
gia’s peach crop, which for the past
several weeks has been moving
widely scattered markets in this coun
try and Canada, has been recognized
by the United States government. In
the recent shortage of labor which
threatened delay in icing and refrig
erating thee are for the transporta
tion of the crop soldiers of the Na
tional Army were detailed at certain
points to aid in carrying forward the
work.
The handling of the crop this year
has been remarkably efficient. De
spite the unusual conditions incident
to war, Manager B. J. Christmas, of
the Georgia Fruit Exchange has ar
ranged matters so advantageously
that there has been little or no conges
tion at any point.
In addition, despite a tremendous
crop, the usual prices have been
maintained.
