( iirprnt BROWN rtc CARPENTER. liiirroKH A*o» I'Uiii.tsiiKits, WHAT COHLH AN EXTRA SES SION AV( TIM PUSH i Suppose Gov. Slaton were to convene the General Assembly in extra session, as the Atlanta Journal is almost daily urpint; him to do, what could that body accomplish towards relieving the cot ton situation? Legislation to restrict the ncreajre iri 1915 would be utterly futile unless similar measures were adopted by all the cotton - growing States, and we had the example of the Texas Legislature only a day or so ago that unanimity of action upon this prop osition is not practicable. A bill to pen alize the production of cotton in that State in excess of a certain percentage was defeated by a vote of HI to 12, anil there is no reason to suppose that a similar measure would not meet a like fate if submitted to a Georgia Legisla ture. We ugree with Gov. Slaton's view that the Southern farmer is not likely to obtain any substantial relief except through Congressional action, and relief from this source cannot he counted on. The defeat of the amend ment to the war revenue bill in the Senate the past week destroyed the last hope the Southern farmer had. This amendment provided for an issue of $250,000 4 per cent. 3-year bonds, to be used to purchase from producers 5,000,000 bales of cotton at. not more than 10 cents per pound—the cotton to be hold by a cotton Ixiard, composed of the Secretary of the Treasury, the Postmaster-General and the Secretary of Agriculture, until 1010, unless the price should in the meantime go to 10 cents, but all of the cotton to be dis posed of during 11)10 and 11)17. A tax of one-half cent a pound on all cotton grown and sold in IDI0, and, if necessa ry, a tax of one cent a pound on the 11)17 crop, would be levied to repay the Government the amount of the bonds and all expenses incident, to the hand ling of the cotton. The amendment was defeated by a vote of 2.1 to 22. Further efforts have been made in the House since to lack on an amendment to the the war revenue bill, differing in some respects from the provisions of the Senate amendment, hut huving the same object in view. Up to yesterday, however, no agreement had been reached between the friends and opponents ol I ho measure, and there seems to be small chance for its adoption. rnOYWE A MARKET FOR CRAIN CROPS. In a statement given out to the press yesterday lion. J. I). Price, Commis sioner of Agriculture, emphasizes a need to which The Herald and Adverti ser has called attention more than once. Assuming that’the farmers of Georgia will be forced by the necessities of the situation to reduce their cotton acreage in 11)15, and realizing the importance of persuading them to engage more exten sively in the growing of food crops, Mr. Price urges that suitable provision be made to take care of their surplus grain at all market towns in the same manner and under as favorable condi tions as the cotton crop is handled. In other words, if the proposed change in our system of farming is to be made effective, the farmer must have assu ranee that his corn, wheat and oats will be easily convertible as money crops, else he will not be likely to take kindly to the new departure in farming methods. Mr. Price is right, and his plan for taking care of and providing a market for these products should be seriously urged upon every business community in the State. The plan of the St. Louis banker to assist the cotton farmers of the South is a further indication of the nation wide interest which is being manifested in the problems of the men who follow the plow. The movement is not in tended as a plan for purchasing cotton, but is designed rather to make avail able a fund of $150,000,000 to loan on cotton at not to exceed six cents per pound for the purpose of making cot ton a liquid asset, stabilizing its price and bringing about normal conditions again. It has been said that it takes greut calamities to develop our friends, and the present crisis is proof positive that the farmer has friends in every line of industry who are willing to share his misfortunes and lighten his burdens. Strong men are strong only as they co-operate with other men, and the spirit of friendliness on the part of the business man towards the farmer augurs well for the future of the agri cultural interests of the nation. Senoia Enterprise-Gazette: "Com missioner J. D. Price, always looking to the interest of the Georgia farmer, is out with a strong appeal to all fer tilizer and cotton seed meal manufac turers, the feeding stuff millers, whole- sole and retail merchants, and the con sumers. to see tiiut in future all these products be used only from cottunl . I which at IP cpnts per pound would bring $.'!,0!M!,HOI),1)00. The United States I does not produce any jute, therefore it I is the plain duty of our people to de- I mand that these products be put up in I cotton bugs." The need of more and better rural schools in Georgia is made manifest by conditions revealed in a recent census report showing the percentage of illiterates umon r the native white farm ing class of this State. The figures show thHt the percentage iff illiteracy in the rural districts is 9.6, and 2.1 per cent, in the cities and villages of the State. Georgia has 389,775 illiterates, and 338,018 of them live on the farms. There are 174,811 boys and men and 103,207 girls and women on the farms of this State that can neither read nor write. Washington Reporter: "There is no justification for failure to pay the 30- day bills made with the merchants and business houses of the town. If the war is to be made an excuse for non payment of debts, then some people should pray for its indefinite contin uance. This is no time for one to treat lightly their obligations. Put on fewer airs and pay your dcdits, and your stand ing in the community will be higher.” Vary Crops at Once, Advises Com missioner Price. Atlanta Georgian. Strenuous and immediate action by farmers, bankers, railroad men, bro kers, warehousemen and commercial organizations to change Georgia from a one-crop cotton State to a State pro ducing on a large scale wheat, corn, oats, tiogs and cattle, is urged by J. I). Price, Commissioner of Agriculture. “There is no sense in talking of large diversified crops and extensive live stock raising unless facilities are pro vided for handling and marketing the new crops and the stock,” said Com missioner Price. “There are, and have been for years, warehouses in every town in Georgia where a farmer can go in the spring and borrow money on his growing crop. And this crop has invariably been cot ton. The farmer has been taught to raise more and more cotton. Each year he increases his crop and borrows mon ey on the increase. Cotton has repre sented to him money, food, clothing, uinusement—everything. "What 1 want to see under present conditions is this: Grain warehouses all over the State, conducted like cotton warehouses in the past, with adequate arrangements for handling grain in large quantities. "When spring comes and the farmer harvests his ^ruin he should be able* to load iqi his wagons, drive to the ware houses and get a small advance of mon ey on his crop, just as he did with cot ton. "The grain can stay in the warehouse until the farmer gets his proper price for it, just as he did with cotton. "Georgians have rightly spent their energies so far in discouraging the planting of more cotton and in urging the planting of grain. Let’s go further than that; let’s all get our heads to gether now and arrange to find a mar ket for all the grain we can possibly raise. “Wheat sold for 92 cents a bushel at the beginning of the European war. It has gone to $1.12, and is daily increas ing in price. Western farmers are even now holding for $1.25. The war means prosperity for them and for the cattle men at a time when so many other Americans are facing financial loss. The war will likewise mean prosperity for the Georgia farmers if they have grain and cattle to sell in the spring, when prices will be still higher. "Wheat fields generally yielding twice as much as those of the United States are now standing in Europe and Russian Asia with rotting grain. "To all who are thinking of running their cotton farms and ruising cotton for another year, my advice is this: "Huy cotton now, and, if you won’t raise grain and livestock, sit down and do nothing for a year—for you cannot possibly make money raising cotton un der present conditions.” Meriwether County Farmers File Pe titions in Bankruptcy. Columbus Enquirer-Sun. -1st inst. Six farmers of Meriwether county tiled voluntary petitions in bankruptcy yesterday in the office of the deputy clerk of the United States Court here. Unique features of the petitions were that the attorneys agreed to take a bale of cotton from each petitioner, on a basis of 10 cents a pound, in settlement of their fees. The bankrupt petitioners were: William O. James, of Haralson, lia bilities scheduled at $741.(11), with no assets. James T. Evans, of Haralson, liabili ties scheduled at $074.60, and assets $245. Julius Calhoun, of Haralson, liabili ties placed at $1,770.49, with $727.50 as sets. A. L. Jones, of Alvaton, $1,S74 of liabilities, with $017.25 assets. Ivy J. Calhoun, of Alvaton, liabilities scheduled at $310.35, with $300 in as sets. William E. Brooks, of Alvaton, lia bilities totalling $919, and $243.50 of as sets.
