That the world is confronted with a cotton famine, unless t 1 ] efforts to materially increase production this year are fairly sue* jSiii cental, is pointed out in a most convincing manner by Lamblrn i '.i'. & Co., of New York, in one of the recent bulletins, in which the { ‘ trend of cotton production during the last twelve years is pre- | sentid. * !”••• According to facts qnd figures offered in this survey of the situation, and granting that the 1922-23 crop is no larger than | tho lost crop, it is ertiraated that with the present available sup ply, plus the next crop, the world will still be 1,300,000 bales short of the amount needed fer consumption during the year end- ; dir'v ing August 31, 1623. Asserting that'another short crop, leaving the world’s avail able supply at a figure less than the demand for normal con- ! sumption, will inevitably force' prices so high as to cause a buy- ors* strike on the part of users of cotton goods, thus forcing --—— mills to operate at a loss, it is pointed out in the bulletin that the !2~--"fate of the world's cotton industry hangs, as never before, on the outcome of the crop to be put in the ground within the next few months. v \ All of which behooves our farmers to employ every scien tific means at their disposal to make as good a crop this year, not only to forestall a cotton famine, but also for their own pros perity, for if the figures as presented are accurate, the world could stand a 12,000,000 bale crop without creating a surplus over demand for consumption large enough to depress the market. For . unquestionably, as long as the available supply and- the consump tion are so close together as they are now, raw cotton is going to brfpfta .good price if marketed in an orderly manner. , Lambom & Co.’s survey of the supply and consumption site t ion'is aifollowsi To arrive at an intelligent view of this big subject,*it is necessary to hark back to the only real cotton famine ever experienced, when mills were forced to reduce operations to ’ eke. out an insufficient supply. That was in the summer of 1910, when there was no cotton left for sale until the new crop began to move freely at the end of August. That recog- n{sed “famine year” furnishes ajjase-line from which to sur vey the whole field since. Using the available supply of cotton for sale on August 31, 1910, as zero, following calculations will throw light on ^hp,probable supply this summer, before new crop cotton can Tiring relief: Available Supply, August 31, 1910 Zero .Yield,, plus Linters for the succeeding 12 f'- years, to August 31, 1922 157,300,000 bales , Add Re-baled samples, pickings, loose, etc., known as “City Crop” soy—100/100 bales annually .. 1,200,000 bales Total Supply for 11 years ...158.500,000 bales including Linters, r for 11 years to August 31, 1022 157,400,000 bales ?

Mills cannot £=^.*pin up U vacuum, and enforced stoppage must come before —„ the new crop brings a fresh supply. .But mills will persist , w °Jking so long as orders como in and profits are to be " - made; so something must occur to curtail both orders and . profits. What this will be is generally accepted as a price • ; *P high for raw cotton that consumers will refuse to buy goods, and mills can only operate at a loss. What price level i this may be, only the future can determine. So far, no sign ■pof qjpublic strike against buying high-priced-goods is in evi- • dence, but that may develop on farther advance, and fore- i casts of future prices must keep such a possibility always in ; mind. . [ - In hte above summary, it has been assumed that the new • ’ reason,' with increased acreage, mules and fertilizer, will j progress along average lines, and, in due time, bring relief • front' the present acute shortage. IVwill be time enough litter, if Nature should prove unpropitious—through, delayed “ i planting, or a wet May or June, or a weevil scare, or a sum- ’ mer-drought, to take another survey .of price' possibilities, Which would have to be baaed on supply conditions never known before. mW ; \AU of which means that the fate of the world’s cotion industry, hangs, as never before, on the outcome of the crop to be put in the ground within the next few months.

However, since his tenure in office he has conducted the affairs of the agricultural in terests on a broad gauge and to him much is due for the wonder ful development and growth of the farming industry in Georgia. He is a practical farmer and owns and operates several large farms in North and South- Georgia most successfully. His activities and the activities of those who are un der his direction causes the de partment of agriculture to stand out prominently as the one of the state’s greatest assets. He is not only resourceful, but is endowed with splendid executive ability which peculiarly fits him for the important and responsible position as commissioned of agriculture for the State of Georgia. THAT— Inhumane treatment of con victs in the various camps/af the state is prohibited by the consUtu tion of Georgia. Some days since, we protested, in this column, against the practice of wtypping convicts and suggested some other form of punishment be adopted by those in authority for the proper discipline of convicts. Of course there are extreme cases and des perate criminals to deal with, but be that as It may, sufficient ACM STOMACH BREAK CHEST SOURS THE FOOD, COLOS WITH RED PEPPER iys Excess of Hydrochloric • Acid is Cause of ?

I had a deep seat ed pain through my back just over my kidneys. It made me feel mis erable. I had to get up at night to pass the kidney secretions quite often and at times they were un-j natural in appearance. As Doan’s; Kidney Pills were well known to me I decided to try theta. I got some at the Citizens Pharmacy and they made ray back stronger and 1 felt, better in every way.” (Statement given April 6, 1918.)

The constitution of Georgia pro vides that neither whipping nor banishment shall be inflicted a3 a punishment for crime In Geor gia. A few weeks ago, a commit tee representing the Council of Christian churches of Atlanta, sub mitted to Governor Hardwick a brief prepared at Attorney Marion Jackson, a member of the com mittee, undertaking to show that this constitutional provision for bids the whipping of convicts. The law makes the prison com mission responsible for the con duct of convict camps under r. Ics and regulations prescribed by the commission, and the law* further provides that the commission’s rules and regulations shall be ap proved by the governor. Under this law Governor Hardwick be lieves that he has authority, if he sees fit, to disapprove the rul£«al- lowing wardefis to whip convicts It is understood that the prison commission would prefer to have the constitutional question periled by a test case in the.court. THAT— We all have our secrets more or less, but it is seldom we openly make a confession. I read a con fession of a Cynic a few days ago. and his r confession was, so ap plicable to many of us, I am tak ing the liberty of reproducing it: I have never failed to lose tho friendship of any man to whom I have loaned money. I have always got soggy pea nuts out of every vending ma chine I have ever tried. I have visited many restaurants in search of a new overcoat, but T find the owners are watching them very closely this year. . I don’t believe they will ever get up a lead-pencil sharpener that will shapen the pencil without breaking the lead. I have tried for twenty years to get on a friendly footing with garlic salad to please my wife, but have given up. I don’t know how some guys manage to drive automobiles and live on a $1,200 salary and have quit trying to find out. I have tried to be a gentleman in the street car and. I believe if Lord Chestefield had ever tried it he would have lost' his reputa tion.
