pepcrts NOT well founded,
" COMMISSIONER PRICE.
0M n> a Fa<‘ mers ... Learned Their
and Acreage Reduction
Will be General.
Th- State Department of Agricul
ture views with deep ooncern and
alara the reports which come from
~.ve n l sections of the state to the
effect that no active *ieps are be
iri„ taken looking to a reduction ot
the lotton acreage this ..year as com
pared with last. These reports are
, y n o means general, for in many
t -oum es effective plans -for a reduc
rion of 25 per ceDt as compared with
1914 have already been made.
'ji.j, department sees considerable
pc,.vole danger, however, in the too
\. planting of cotton in any coun
ty section, Commenting upon the
vt ~r ion Commissioner of Agriculture
j. and Price said:
■ I can scarcely believe that these
re-,n> s indicating in some instances
a la' k of inclination to reduce the
acreage are well founded. My infor
nuitk H from many sections of the
staie which 1 have visited and with
whici I have been in correspondence
indicates that the fanners of Geor
gia, jave well learned their lesson
and that acreage reduction will be
genera l
“Nevertheless, I feel it the duty
of the department to call attention
to the danger that exists in this di
rection. I cannot understand how
any Georgia farmer could consider for
a moment sticking to the one crop
idea in the face of the fact that the
South har just made the biggest cot
ton crop ill the world’s history. Cer
tainly they cannot afford to let them
selves be misled by the little recent
rise in price and go back to a single
crop instead of making the food stuff
they absolutely need for home use.
“ftven if the European war should
end in a short time and we should
Rial**- anything like the crop of 1914,
we could not expect anything but
lnv prices for it. The United States
Census Bureau shows that this coun
try has consumed in the past seven
months 225,000 bales less than for
the same period the year before. Its
figures also show that foreign ship
ments up to date have been approx
imately 1,760,000 bales less than for
the same period of a year ago. So
that in the face of the record crop
the world's consumption of our ctton
has been nearly two million bales
U-s for the seven months up to
about the first of March than for
the same period of the year preced
ing.
How anybody can find in these
f tures anything to encourage him t<
plant practically his whole farm in
cotton is more than I can see. I
' ant to give fair warning against it.
,r the farmers do it they are going
'o suffer. I do not believe they will
'ln it, but this is one thing we ought
111 be absolutely sure about. It is
the only safe way.*’

•.|''-Sixth Round Told Tale.
Havana, April 5. —Jack Johnson,
exile from his own country, today
lost his claim to fistic fame as the
heavy-weight champion of the world.
The title was wrested from him by
Jess Willard, the Kansas cowboy,
the biggest man who ever entered
the prize ring and a “white hope”
who at last lias made good. Here
is howi it happened:
Johnson rose slowly from his chair
and Willard met him more than
two-thirds of the way across the
ring. Willard stabbed a long left
into the negro’s face, sending his
head bobbing back. Refore the cham
pion could recover his position Wil
lard swung a smashing right, which
landed full on Johnson’s stomach. He
was flung against the ropes by the
force of the blow anil he clinched on
the rebound.
The cowboy tried to tear loose,
but the black man held grimly with
eyes closed and legs shaking. Just
before the referee broke them John
son looked over Willard’s shoulder
toward the box where his wife had

been, his eyes showing a dazed,
tired, puzzled expression.
As soon as Welch had broken the
clinch Jess rushed again, forcing the
negro into Willard’s corner, where
the finish came. Johnson was slow
in guarding, and his strong, youth
ful opponent hooked a swinging left
to the body. The fading champion’s
legs quivered and again the towering
giant feinted for the body. Johnson
dropped his guard and Willard won
the title with a quick, hard swing
to the exact point of the jaw.
The negro’s knees folded up under
him and he sank slowly to the floor
and rolled over on his back, partly
under the ropes.
Welch wiaved Willard back and be
gan to count. Up and down swung
the referee’s hand, but Johnson nev
er moved. His eyes were glassy, onl;
the whites being visible.
At the count of ‘ten’ Welch turned
and held up Willard's hand and a
new champion replaced Johnson, who
was still stretched on the floor of
the ring. Time of round, 1 minute,
