KING COTTON RULE
WIDELY
DIVERSIFICATION IS TALKED IN
ALL PARTS OF THE SOUTH
NOW.
War against King Cotton’s rule is
on throughout the south, according to
reports received in Atlanta Saturday
by officials of the Georgia Depart
ment of Agriculture.
In some parts of the South “safe
farming” associations are being
formed, bringing bankers into the
movement, with the result that the
banks have agreed to discourage loans
to farmers unless the farmers plant
food crops.
With what success the fight ha Ifl
I been carried on for the reduction o r+a
| this year’s cotton acreage cannot yet
j be tions determined, that the but all-cotton there are forces indica
are
| holding their own both in Texas and
! other states of the cotton belt. There
I is promise, however, that more feed
and food crops are being or will be
1 i planted in many portions of the south
j | than in other encouraging years, and that sign, may it be is
taken as an
i pointed out.
1 In Texas, where King Cotton has
ruTed as an absolute agricultural mon
arch for years, forces are at work now
for the overthrow of his dynasty. Such
men as Clarence Ousley and Edward
Woodall have taken the leadership in
the new war on the all-cotton prac -
tice of many Texas farmers, and five
hundred bankers have volunteered
their help in making the fight a suc
cessful one.
One of the instruments of warfare
to be used in fighting cotton is the
pig’s snout, an effective weapon, but
one that is not as extensively used in
Texas, Georgia or any other Southern
state as it should be used, is shown
here. Leaders of the fray say they
hope to witness the unseating of the
white-haired king by the active use
of pigs’ snouts in rooting him out of
his regal seat. *
It is planned to bring into the battle
as allies of the enemies of all-cotton,
the more humble members of the ag
ricultural nobility, corn, wheat, milcn
cows, poultry, hogs and perhaps sheep,
though the latter has been seriously
reduced m number in some Southern
states.
The battle cry has been raised of
“less cotton; more diversified crops,’’
and is now being heard throughout
Georgia and other Southern states, it
was stated by agricultural leaders.

CONFEDERATE VETS
VIEW BIG MEMORIAL
VISIT STONE MOUNTAIN TO SEE
PROGRESS OF WORK
THERE.
More than 300 gallant survivors of
the once mighty army of the Confed
eracy stood, with uncovered heads, at
the foot of Stone Mountain Saturday
afternoon and paid homage to the
great leader whose head already has
been carved on the mountain side as
the beginning of the imperishable me
morial that is to stand there.
Bowed figures straightened, and
dim, peaceful eyes flashed with their
old fire as the remnants of General
Robert E. Lee’s heroic forces came to
attention before his colossal image
and saluted with the crisp precision
of a West Point cadet corps. A mid
summer sun poured against the side
of the mountain and lit up the gran
ite features of the immortal chief of
the Confederate army, and its reflec
. Don seemed to carry new life into the
! >
bent, and, in some cases, almost brok- A ,
en bodies of the aged veterans.
A special train brought the veterans
from Birmingham, where they had
been in attendance at the annual re
) union, and where, incidentally, they
i voted down with the same dogged
| j courage that carried them through
j 1 unequal battles the proposal that the
1 reunions be discontinued because of
the age of the surviving members of
the army.
Upon their arrival at Stone Moun
tain the veterans and the women
members of the party were served
with a picnic lunch, and were wel
comed to the memorial by Hollins N.
i Randolph, president of the Stone
j Mountain Confederate Monumental
association.
This visit of the members of Gen
eral Lee’s army, Mr. Randolph de
clared, was the greatest honor that
had ever been done the memorial as
I sociation, in spite of the fact that
1 many distinguished visitors have reg
istered at the studio,
“This memorial is yours,” he said,
“ and it is in t he form of eternal
an
. memorial because the deeds you per
j f orme d are eternal deeds which the
passing of ages wil] ljght with a more
; splendid glory. It is as little as we,
of the next generation, could do for
! you, and we shall not stop until it is
gloriously completed.”
j Mr. Randolph introduced Command
j er in Chief M. D. Vance, who was too
j tired from his long trip, however, to
j make a speech. He next introduced
i Attorney General George M. Napier,
wh0 deli vered a stirring address of
welcome on behalf of the state of
Georgia.
The veterans seemed tremenduously
happy and gratified over the honor
^at . being done them in the me*
j is
, morial work. They inspected the new
master model of Augustus Lukeman,
and marveled at the likenesses of the
I & rea t leaders which it carries. It
i a fast dwindling band, the veterans,
j but the spirit that sustained then
through four years of poignant
1 struggle sustains them still. They
j never give up.
