LEEDS, Eng.—England’s empty
cradles continue to form a sub
ject of animated comment among
the newspapers, doctors and Soc
iologists. Not a few British offic
ials express misgivings over th
ftuture of the race If the present
rate of decline in births continues.
Dr. J. Jobnatone Jarvis, medical
officer of health for Leeds, in hi"
report for 1922 refers in some
strilng parsages to the subject of
birth control. Commenting upon
the fall of the birth rate in Leeds
from 21.8 to 19.8 per'l.000. he saya:
"How people can, in these ciro.um
population with Europe depleted]
by war, revolution, famine, and.
disease, and other continents call'
ing out for settlers to occupy their
land and develop their industries,
la childish folly.
This Malthusian myth of over-
population was exploded long ago.
so one thought, hut it has been
resurrected, and is again being
made to dovservice in this anti
social campaign to reduce the
birth rate. No one objects (a the'
restriction of the unfit, but to in-1
torfere with the birth of the fit— J
and this seriously la what is in
tended—is to invite disastci
j children with their noisy games. ^

crop, and their cotton has right
or too blooma to the stalk which
shows that tho boll weevil Is not
doing imp'll harm. Their com and
hay crops are also as promising as
they could ask. Tho dry weather
Is enabling farmers to fight the
pest and keep It down.
OUR ARTICLE on W. I. Abney’s
cotton crop baa rceated much talk
and a number of people hare visit
cd his farm. We talcd with two
gentlemen who had closely in
spected this crop, and they say
moat of It will make a hale per
acre, but the young cotton I, not
ao well fruited at the earlier. Mr.
Abney has unquestionably dem
onstrated the fact that we can
grow cotton under boll weevil coo
dltlons.
A PARTY Who has seen the crop
of Tom Dickens, near Eaatvllle, In
Oconee county, says that on hi,
personal crpp Mr. Dickens Is good
for a hale per acre, but the crop
worked bu hla tenants I, not so
good. To successfully grow cotton
under boll weevil conditions a man
must personally supervise hla farm
and not depend on others.

that next year be will not plant a

likewise. Ur, WUton teyi he has
a patch of six acres (n cotton,

Mr. Tunis Morton had some

pects for a cotton crop in this
section, but it haa lost heavily,
and from 76 acres he does not
think he will get over thirty or
forty bales. It began to shed and
much fruit fell off.

Athens this week sevei.l »,ns of

Taxes and Profits

f _ •
T he use of Gasoline can not be con
sidered a luxury. It is absolutely
Accessary to our present business
activities. However, when the price of
gasoline is discussed, it must be remem
bered that this commodity is being taxed
in the State of Georgiy possibly to a
greater extent than any other commodity
in general use.
The present Georgia law provides for an inspection tax
of l-2c per gallon on gasoline, and an occupation tax of lc
per gallon. On October 1,1923, the occupation tax on gaso
line will be advanced from lc to 3c per gallon. -
r i ra
This means that on and after October 1st, n e x t, t he
price at which you purchase Crown Gasoline at any of our
Georgia Service Stations will include 3 l-2c per gallon,
which this Company will pay the State of Georgia Eind
which is equivalent to between 17 per cent and 20 per cent j»
of our sales prices. Also, these taxes are more than three j
times the net profit per gallon realized by this Company on
its sales of Crown Gasoline in Georgia.
