TIE STATE DEPT, The recent continuous and severe rains throughout the cot ton belt, indicate that the govern ment estimating bureau was a little previous in its recent state ment as to the prospect of the 1916 cotton crop, says a state ment just given out by Commis sioner]. D. Price of the State Department of Agriculture. “The government told us there would be about 14,400,000 bales this year, and put Georgia high up on the list”, Commissioner Price said. “I am inclined to think the government estimate a little previous, and no doubt it had some effect on the market. While it may have looked that way at the time, recent reports to this Department coming from practically every section of this state, indicate great damage both to corn and cotton as the result of the continued heavy rains. “In many sections, particularly in middle and south Georgia, the cotton plant is so large that it can hardly be plowed again. The effect of rain and wind and the softening of the ground, has been to leave a hole around the stalk, and cause the breaking of many of the lateral roots. It is practi cally impossible to get a plow near enough to fill up these holes. In north and northeast Georgia heavy rains had similar effect, but not to such great ex tent, as the cotton plant is -not s) large. Nevertheless, owing to this and other damage, we cannot now expect anything like what the crop once promised. As these rains were general over practical ly the entire cotton belt, the damage will be well distributed and not fall heavily on any one section or state. The crop re duction will be general all over the south, and the resultant en hancement in price will possibly overbalance all the rain damage “There is further fear that the wet weather which is the life of the boll weevil will make that in sect pest much more plentiful and destructive, especially in southwest Georgia where lit has just begun to get in its work, am informed the insect increases rapidly when there is plenty of rain, and this may result in further reduction. “As to corn, particularly on bottom lands where the overflow has been heavy, considerable harm has been done. This is especially true where the stalk was very large. Where it was small the farmers will be able to save a large percentage of the crop. “There is no question, however' in my mind that government estimates will have to be materi ally revised as the result of the recent rain damage.” W.

The VALUE of the Car,—to its Owner,—narrows down, in the ultimate, to the precise number of Hours he USES that Car, yearly. If a $2,000 Car be owned for, say, 4 years (then sold for $600.) there has been $1,400 of Car-Value absorbed by the Owner,—equal to, say, $350. per year. If then, that Car be USED 913 Hours in the year, it would cost him but 38 CENTS per Hour, for Car-Use. ) _ But,—if he used it only HALF that number of Hours, yearly, the Car would cost him 100% MORE for every Hour he used it. | ' How MUCH he uses it will depend,—to a considerable extent,—upon the PRICE o/TIRES and GASOLENE. This was oneoi the reasons why we (Jan. 31st, 1915) inaugurated the Goodrich l i FAIR-LIST” Propaganda against High-prices, and Padded-Price-Lists, on Tires. It is a further reason why we NOW keep our own Goodrich Prices DOYVN > to the very moderate “Fair-List” figures here quoted. r B 1 i ETTER Fabric T'res are NOT made, and cannot he made,—at ANY price,—than are produced by The B.

Will you help your own interests (present and future), by further expanding the Sale of that Tire which demonstrates its Intention, through LOWERING the Cost of its Tires to yon, with every INCREASE in its Volume? Will you thus endorse, and support, the Goodrich Policy which automatic ally PREVENTS OTHER Makers from forcing UP the Market on Tires? Compare Goodrich Fair-List prices, here quoted.

BILL TO HELP F, The agricultural appropriation bill now before the United States senate contains several items that will be helpful to Georgia farmers, and members of the legislature now in session here are watching the progress of the bill with great interest. One is an appropriation of $650, 000 to fight the boll weevil and another is an appropriation of $872,000 for the work of the office of markets and rural organization. The work of this division in cludes additional study of cotton grading, and also the problem of bailing to save the loss of tare. It carries special appropriation for cooperation with the states to help bring the producer of food crops, including fruits, closer to consumers. It will be remembered that the creation of the markets divi sion was the direct work of Georgians. It was suggested to Senator Hoke Smith by a com mittee of Georgians headed by Hon. R. F. Duckworth, at the time, chairman of a committee of the farmers Union. Senator Smith prepared the bill creating the division of markets, and after two years of persistent effort secured its passage. The bill also carries an appro priation to continue the study of naval store problems, placed in the bill by Senator Smith. DR. E. C.
