COnON IS AGAIN CALLED KING COTTON FACTORS, DEALERS, GROWERS AND AGRICULTURAL LEADERS BELIYE THAT IT WILL REACH 3« CENTS SOON. ATLANTA, Ga., —That cotton is king again is acknowledged on every hand among cotton factors, dealers, growers and agricultural leaders generally who have been in Atlanta during the last few days. At the Cand ler Warehouse, perhaps the largest cotton storage depot in the southern states, covering sixteen acres, where cotton men from every part of tho South may bee seen, it is generally conceded that the fleecy stapile is shooting upgrade and by the end of year will hover around the 30 cent mark. Frank Inman, Atlanta cotton man and officer of tre Cotton Storage Finance Company, which leased the 1 Candler warehouse from the multi millionaire soft drink manufacturer, sees nothing but millions for the Southern farmer in the skyrocketing of the cotton market. One of the statistical-minded re porters of the local newspapers has calculated that at the advance of cot ton over last year’s price the en hancement in every county in every state in the South will enable the av erage grower to leap from his wagon, if he so desires, into an automobile in most cases paid for in the differ ence he wiH receive for his cotton this year over 1921. If the price is sustained through the fall business men predict that pros perity will return to Georgia except in those sections where the boll wee vil has left no cotton to be marketed. In many sections of the state where there is a crop—though a short one— the whistles, it is pointed out, ought to blow again in full blast. Cause of Prosperity’s Delay Gentlemen in Atlanta who surround themselves with economic charts and business compasses declare that the failure of prosperity to stage a come back during the last two years has been on account of the disparity ex isting between what the farmer has been getting and what other class of workers hav e been getting. They say that any kind of prosperity that be -1 gins elsewhere except on the farm is artificial and inevitably collapses Hence the nervous and unstable con ditions since May 1920. Joel Hunter of Atlanta an unusually clear econo mic thinker has steadfastly held that the South and the rest of the nation 1 would not recover from the business slump until the farmer’s dollar became worth as much as anybody else’s do - lar. Now that the farmer’s, dollar is ! coming into its own again, it is time, according to business men here, to expect business generally to show a spurt. 1 Cotton, it is claimed, is the life of business in many sections of tbe State : a nd the South. It makes business hum in the cotton mills, keeps the stores running, fills the toly grounds, populates colleges and pays doctor biHs. Bred (s the staff of life, but cotton buys bread. That it has as ! cended to the throne again Is cause for rejoicing, according to agricultural leaders, but they say the growers should not lose sight of tUs 4e ß ir»bii- All arrangement have been made, inoluding poultry car, and buyers will be here and all who have any poultry in the sale are assured of the highest market price. The price will be exceptionally good because of the fact that Thanksgiving time is near and there is a good demand for poul try at this time of the year. Mrs. Thorpe states that she is de pending on the ladies to cooperate with her and make this the best sale ever held in Toombs county. The poultry car will be located on the side track here at Lyons and every convenience will be provided for those who have any of the above for sale. CROP REPORT BE GIVEN BY RADIO RADIO MEANS MORE TO FARMER THAN OTHER WALKS OF LIFE. TOSTS LESS THAN A PHONO GRAPHS. NO NEW RECORDS. ATLANTA, Ga., —Radio within a year will bring to most farmers the information and nearness of the out ride world they have been so long de prived, radio experts here point out toady. At the present time the government is making a very definite use of the radiophone in broadcasting crop and stock market reports, weather repor s and news items of general interest to tho farmer especially. Very instruct ive health lectures furnished by the •medcal authorities at Washington are being broadcasted regularly from a number of the country’s largest radi ophone stations. Another agency which has brought j the outside world nearer to the peop e of the South is the Atlanta Journal and its able editor, Mayor John S. , Cohen. The Journal, rcoggnized as i one of the best known newspapers in j the southern states, andw hich holds its own with publications of a nat ional character, installed a radio ou’- , fit of immense proportion and at con- j sidrable expense which as. been op erated for several months with great success. It has contributed much to the entertainment and instruction of the people of Georgia and the South, as the paper has spared no expense in providing concerts and distributing important news through its radio. While radio Is very instructive and highly entertaining to people in c.ll walks, of life, yet, experts here de clare, the radiophone means more to the farmer, .perhaps, than to any other j class of citisens. The Atlanta Jour nal, recognizing this fact, has urged the erection of radio outfit's, in rural sections. Farmers Find Radio Valuable Before the coming of the radiophone the farmer, agricultural Jeaders show j was entirely isolated from enjoying j the entertainments within reach of i city folk and was also ignorant of the j latest market quotations with which he was intensely Interested so as to know the best time to sell his pro duce Now with a radiophone receiver the farmer can be just as quickly well informed of the im portant information as the city dweL lers and can enjoy the world’s best entertainers and musical artists while sitting around his fireside or resting in an easy chair—and furthermore he j can get all the news, and entertain- j ment free of charge, if he owns a raidophone receiver. When one ralies that perfect rad iophone costs less than a first class phonograph, is jwt as easy to oper ate, and cpsts less than phonograph to keep it going and there are no new records to buy but a constantly ebang ing program the only logical thing to do, agricultural leaders point out, is |to install a raidphone outftt. 1 ity of keeping it there. They declare that orderly and sensible marketing may not have been whooly responai- We for the re-ooronatlon of the king, but orderly and sensible marketing 1 has undoubtedly been of muck awiet ance, CHRISTMAS ANNOUNCEMENT The Near East Rellief is preparing its annual Chirstmas letter to the peo ple of Georgia.
