CALIFORNIA OR SAPIRO PLAN FOR MARKETING COTTON CROP Atlanta, April 6—ln reports reaching the State Department of Agriculture it is generally agreed that no meeting more important to the farmers, business interests and the State generally, has been held in years, than that which has been called in Atlanta for April 12, to devise ways and means to put into effect here the California or Sapiro plan for the orderly and profitable marketing of the cotton crop. Recent action of the Elbert meeting which indorsed the Cali' fornia plan, as applied to cotton, and put itself squarely back of the Atlanta meeting, has met with widespread response over the State, and there is every indica tion that the conference will be well attended by representatives from every section. Practically every other cotton State has taken hold of the rpatter along similar lines, and advices received by Commissioner J. J. Brown point to the strongest co-operation throughout the cotton belt, upon the new plan of marketing the crop. It is strongly urged by Commis sioner Brown that every County in Georgia be represented in the forthcoming meeting by from three to five delegates. It is anticipated that business, as well as agricul ture, will be strongly represented, since there is practically no interest in the State which is not vitally affected by the success or lack of the cotton grower. It is at least interesting to note that cotton merchants and others associated with them, are coining around more and ,inore to the producers’ point of View, Commis sioner Brown said. I have noted this in their recent advertisements and interviews. They are evi dently realizing more than ever that their own business is depen dent upon the farmer getting a fair return upon his product, and in manyinstances they are expres sing an apparent willingness to help him. 4 It is interesting also to note the attitude of the new administration at Washington, as expressed by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, who is quoted as saying: “There will be no further meddling on the part of the government with the prices of farm products, qnd no further government drives for the purpose of beating down the prices of farm prices, It benefits the consumer but little, and only serves to impoverish the producer of those products.” “We are going lo organize and put in the California plan of mar keting, thereby taking control of our product of the hands of the exchange hears and speculators; and if the administration will not only pursue the policy stated by Secretary Wallace, but will help where it can, we will have no dif ficulty whatever in putting over this proposition in a big way, thereby assuring to the producer for the future, a price which will pay him his cost of production and the reasonable profit to which he is entitled. “With substantial acreage re duction now assured and the Cali forma plan coming as a result of the Atlanta meeting'of April 12, and similar meetings in other states, I feel that the present outlook is brighter now than we have had in many months. We must get together now and make the April meeting the biggest and best thing Georgia has ever known.” We can rebuild and recharge your old batteries. Wm. Cross & Son, Locust Grove, Ga.

Mr. Moonshine promised Mr. Barleycorn before be l eft that he would do all in his power to comfort the weeping friends. Mr. Barleycorn packed up and sailed for Cuba. Many of his friends followed him and I will drop out a hint that you can find him in Cuba on West Street any time you wish.

These relatives with help of Mr; Moonshine and Mr. Wildcat Stiff are doing their best to keep alive the memory of th» ir beloved Mr. John Barleycorn in the minds of the people. —“High Life.” Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is intlamed you have a rumbling sound or im perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the Inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Medicine. Cir culars free. All Druggists. 75c. F. J. CHENEY & CO.. Toledo. O.
