Atlanta. Oct. 8.—Judge E. II. Calla
way of Augusta and other buslnscs
men of the state called upon Gov.
Slaton yesterday and urged hiip to
call the Legislature In extraordinary
session to consider the situation
brought about by the European war
and the depression of the price of
cotton.
The Atlanta Chamber of Commerc)
following the meeting of tho South
era cotton and food conference held
here this week, wired the various gov
ernors of the cotton states urging
them to take action along similar
lines. In those telegrams they were
asked the question whether in their
opinion their states would enact somi
uniform law looking to the reduction
of cotton acreage 50 per cent next
year.
A reply was received from Gov
Colquitt yesterday In which he stated
that he had presented to the Texas
Legislature a message on the ques

next year along the lines suggested.

CHINA ENTERS
MORE PROTESTS
Pekin, China, Oct. 8.-rThe govern
ment has been Informed that a party
of thirty Japanese Wednesday
pled the stations of the Shan Tun
Hallway at Tainan, the western ter
minus of the German owned road.
The Foreign Office again immediate
ly protested to the Japanese legation
demanding the withdrawal of the Jap
anese troops.
However, despite the ultimatum-
like character of the Chinese note, it
is admitted China does not intend to
fight. It also is announced that at
the solicitation of the government,
which feared otherwise the situation
with Japan would be further com
plicated, the Germans have not ful
filled their threat to dynamite the
bridges. They had anounced that this
would be done unless China com
pelled the Japanese to withdraw from
the railway. Meantime the Japanese
are preparing to reopen traffic on the
road.
Intense Antagonism.
The feeling hero against the Jap
anese Is becoming Intense. The pa
pers publish accounts of this alleged
misbehavior with characteristic ex
aggeration! ij
An American missionary at Wei
Hsien telegraphs that 300 Japanese
had arrived there by the third day of
occupation and that on the fourth
day of occupation all but thirty of
spldlefs proceeded westward
without having molested the inhab
itants.
Supplies Paid for.
From other missionaries and cor
respondents come reports of such
cases of wrong doing as might be ex
pected from a few In an army 30,000
strong. The trouble usually results
from the Japanese system of drawing
.upon the natives for commissary re
qutrements.
Chinese communities are compell
ed to meet quickly large and unusual
demands In the way of supplies for
churches and general welfare of the
community. They move frequently;
they do not remain on the farm long
enough to get the best results from
It; consequently they are usually !q a
poor financial condition."

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 8.—The committee
appointed Monday by the Southeastern
Food Crops Conference to carry out
the plane adopted by the conference is
rushing the work to put into effect, In
each of the cotton states, the intensely
practical plans for cutting cotton acre
age/ substituting food crops and ar
ranging for cash markets for the new
products.
C. J. Haden, chairman of this com
mittee, and president of the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce, said today:
"The people of all the cotton-grow
ing states will.be urged to assemble
at 10 a. m., Saturday, October 17th, at
the county seats, or the most conven
ient meeting points in each county,
and take action to have special ses
sions of the state legislatures called
at once to reduce cotton acreage for
next year to one-half that planted in
1914. Also, these mass meetings are
Expected to prepare a second line of
defense by organizing county associa
tions of farmers, Incorporated by law,
according to the “Lee county plan, 1
which has been approved generally In
Georgia, so that the mutual contracts
between farmers will be on the same
business-like and legal basla as agree
ment# between stockholders in other
corporations, and in the same degree
enforceable In law.
"With these associations formed, the
efforts of farmers to reduce cotton
acreage will be on a sound business
basis, the lack of which has caused
^the failure of all mutual agreements in
the past. The first effort will be to
secure the enactment of laws reducing
the cotton acreage, but if the laws do
not pass, this second line of defense
will prove effective.
“Many able lawyers say that such
action of the states will be perfectly
legal under the ’General Welfare'
clauses of the constitutions."
It was the concensus of opinion in
the Southeastern Food Crops Confer
ence that the quickest and most ef
fective way to secure, at same time in
all the cotton states, legislation and
the permanent organizations to rein
force the law and see to the enforce
ment of its provisions was to call
county meetings to ask the legislature
for action, In recognition of the dis
astrous effects on the South of fur
ther delay.
The time la short In which to se
cure the action of all the hundreds of
counties, but the committee expects to
give the call such great publicity, by
the cordially co-operating newspapers
of the South, that the response will be
practically spontaneous, and that
every county will hare a mass meeting
on Saturday, October 17th, and pass
resolutions asking the governors to
call the extra sessions of the legisla
tures, and that the meetings will then
proceed to form associations of farm
ers, to be Incorporated in accordance
with the "Lee County Plan” In order
In the cotton states to concentrate
their work on other crops than cotton,
and asking the trustees of state col
leges of agriculture to devote all funds
including the 10,000 apportioned to
each state by the Smith-Lever bill, at
their disposal in 1916, to organization,
instruction and direct aid of farmers
toward the production of other crops
than cotton. ~ .

RESULT OF FREQUENT
CHANGE BY FARMERS
Washington, D. C. t Oct. 8.—An offi
cial of the Federal census bureau, ta
discussing the report recently issued
by the government, dealing with the
term of occupancy of farms in the
United Statqs, said:
This frequency of moving from
farm to farm, or Instability of occu
pancy, very likely, forms one of the
chief causes for the decline of rural
prosperity, or is a hindrance to great
er progress. Frequency of removal
of farmers results In general shiftless
ness; the roads and bridges are gen
erally in a poor condition because the
farmers, moving at frequent periods,
are not particularly interested In
elr upkeep. Farm buildings of such
farms are not usually kept In good re
pair. as the farmer who la about to
move win leave the repairs for the
next tenant to make. The same reason
will apply for lack of Interest by the
"unstable” farmer In the schools,
the Japanese, but according to sev
eral reports they are paid more than
the market price for them by

occasionally individual cases of plun
dering the ‘farmers and abuse
