The Manufac turers jRecord in speaking of the shipments from China,'has the fallowing to say: “Attention is called by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture to the. heavy increase in importa tions of shelled peanuts which amounted to 46,867,- 439 pounds for the seven months ending with July, 1923, or more than five times the amount imported during the entire calendar year 1922. The imports of unsftelled peanuts during the first seven months of 1923 totalled 3,716,594 pounds, or a little more than Hie total imports of unshelled peanuts during the whole’of 1922. "During the same seven months period we import ed 6,575,042 pounds of peanut oil, or more than dou ble the imports during 1922- China, the land of starvation wages, is the principal source from which wq art importing peanuts, and during the first seVen months of the year the direct imports of shelled pea nuts tjrom that country amounted to 71 per cent of thu total imports. In addition to direct importations of Chinese peanuts large quantities are trans-ship ped via Japan.” With this condition existing and a possibility of the shipments being increased to this country, the price of peanuts and oils will be reduced to such an extent that the industry in tho United States wiil cease to lie profitable. Tariff restricting legislation should be pnsed by congress which would give to the American peanut grower sufficient protection to make this In dustry self-sustaining and profitable. .TUESDAY,.NOVEMBER ft- i<wv Around Athens With CoL T.

Under the leadership of Mrs. A. S. Pnrkor committees will be in charge of the work that day mattered over the business district of the city. gPoppiea will be . sold and everyone approach ed is expected to donate something to the cause. The purpose of the occasion is most deserving and shpuld appeal to every true and loyal American. The pro ceeds will go to a fund for the benefit of disabled soldiers of the world war. Saturday will be an unusual day in this city. The University authorities have designated this day as ‘•Homecoming. Day,” the occasion being the Georgia- Virginia game, which will bring a large crowd to the city of out-of-town visitors. It is well that those in ’ aiiilmrity designated this day as “Forget-Me-Not” day which will give ail visitors as well as home folks an opportunity to aid in this deserving movement. PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR’S CROP It is time for the farmers to commence planning ami settle on a definite program of acreage for the 192-i'crop. The price of cotton this year will influ- cicc the farmer, 11c doubt, to increase his acreage in cotton in 1924. This will lie a serious mistake and it ia lu.pcd that every farmer in the cotton belt will not be over-enthused over the present price of cotton and plant a bumper acreage next year. So long as the acreage of cotton is kept down, the price will remain up, but so soon as it is determined that an unusual increase in acreage has been planted, th; price is as sure to go down as the crop is made- It lias been demonstrated that ‘ the farmer can fit from raising foodstuff, poultry, cattlo and ; and less cottpn. If the plan could be ■ agreed on by tho cotton growers not to plant more than ve or six acres of cotton to the plow it would insure » priee for the crop which would be profitable and vith an abundant food crop this section of the coun- would soon become independent. We can not hope fo'r prosperity and better times unless we farm on business principles. There is a certain amount of cotton which is in demand for the world’s supply and when that supply has been over-produced—then ‘he price is fixed according to the demand which Beans that a price less than cost to produce will be paid for cotton. ' , ^ The fanners, merchants and hankers should meet in every county in this state and formulate a plan, led on the demand for cotton and reach an agree- nt to plant a conservative amount of cotton and ; go beyond the acreage which would, produce formally a supply sufficient to meet the needs and Bemands of the country. It is purely a business prop osition and one whicli should be co-operated in by the agencies which are directly interested and whose common welfare is involved—the farmer, the mer chant and the banker.
