TWICE-A-WEEK VOLUME 53. Thkjyeek By Arthur Drubane LABOR IS POWER. CLAIMING THE EITHER. THE 19 POUND BABY. THAT POOR CALIP. Ramsay Macdonald, managing cautiously the Labor government that manages the British Empire, has trouble with his most radical followers. Macdonald sensibly wants to complete the great irrigation system in the Sudan, to help cotton growers, increase crops and general welfare. Radical labor men say pri vate individuals own the cotton fields, and they don’t believe in do ing anything for private property. The irrigation, on which gigantic sums have already been spent, mil lions of pounds, would give employ ment in the Sudan, and guarantee a cotton supply to England. But that makes no difference to “radicals.” * Sometimes reaching out too far is dangerous. People have fallen out of windows doing that. The Tele grap and Telephone Company does pretty well for its stockholders and itself with its firm monopoly of com munication by wire on the surface of the earth. That ought to be enough. The important patents on radio are dead or dying. And the bitterest enemy of single tax will admit that the people sould own the air. Housewifes for miles around f'.ock to Ogdensburg, N. J., to see Mrs. William Henion’s “little boy,” Just born and weighing nineteen pounds. Sue a baby is iterating, but you ash yourself, Why does Providence send a nineteen' POUND ba,by to a hu man mother weighting 130 pounds, , iui.d a. nineteen. OUNCE baby to a female bear weighing ‘3OO pounds, There’s a good reason, of course, but who can understand it. H. G. Wells tells senool teaeors — “shy, retiring souls,” he calls them— “to buck up, be arrogant and take hold of the world.” He says teachers alone can im prove life. That’s true, and that is what, they have been doing ever since teaching began. If teachers, from Socrates, Aris ttote and Plato, to the young woman that teaches you little boy in the public school, hadn’t “taken hold of the world” civilization wouldn’t be where it is now. To understand what the drop in the French franc means to French men, imagine the United States win nig a war, and then finding Its dol lars worth less than 20 cents apiece, with bread at 50 cents a loaf eggs $4 a dozen, etc. Kemal Pasha, new boss of Tur key and the Mohammenda world, tries experiments almost as radical as our prohibition. He will end as th 4 caliphate, doing away with the powers of the all-powerful regious head, supposed to represent Moham med, and inherit his authority. The Caliph, Prince Abdul Medjid Effendi, will be driven out, and not allowed to take the treasure of the caliphate with him. That is as serious a step to Mo hammendans as it would be to Cam olics if Mussolini were to drive out out the Pope and seize the property of the Vatican. The J. I. Case Company, that makes threshing machines and other things ofr farmers, skipped a divid end and the stock dropped with an unpleasant thud last week. Things of that sort may cause financial “best minds” to interest themselves in the poor farmer. What appens to HIM isn’t so important in the realm of high finance. But what happens to STOCKS is most im portant. ■■ r WANTED GRANDFATHER’S LOVE LET TERS. Keep the letters and send me the envelopes with the stamps on them for my private collection.

"Fee N e we- Hera ld lagriCuliukal ; OUTLOOK FOR ! YEAR 1924 The following statement of the outlook for 1924, based upon cur rent information and upon reports from 43,000 farmers, representing every agricultural county in the country, stating their intentions re garding the planting of spring crops, has bee prepared by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the United States Department of Agricul tural, to provide a basis upon which producers may make readjustments to meet economic charges. The general agricultural outlook for 1924 indicates that farmers are undertaking a normal production program. It is apparent, however, that agricultural production this year will till be attended by the difficulties arising from higher wages and other costs, loss of farm work ers, and the general disparity be tween far and urban products. Domestic demand for agricultural products is at a high level. Urban prosperity is reflected in a heavy current consumption of fibers and high-quality foods, and this may be expected to continue into the sum mer. The wheat situation shows some tendency toward improvment, with the market continuing somewhat more favorable for producers of spring than winter wheat. Spring wheat growers report intentions to reduce their acreage 14 per cent be low last ‘spring’s plantings. Should abandonment of winter weatr acre age be light, as at present indicated, the reduction in acreage arrested may not be proporitional to the re duction in seeding, as reported last fall. Notwithstanding that there will apparently be fewer animals in the Country to be fed next winter, corn growers report intentions to increase the acreage 3.2 per cent, and in the corn belt proper to increase it 3.5 percetn. Tihs increase,-if actually .caousd... ...accorupaiiird by yields as good as in recent years, would result iii a large supply re lative to the probable demand for corn. The swine industry is going through a period of liquidation and discouragement. Records runs of hogs to market still continue. In the past such periods of heavy pro duction and low prices have led to a reduction in breeding so darastie as to resuit later on in shartage, and in reversal of the corn-hog balance. Indications are that hog producers have passed the peak of production, and may be moving into on of the recurrent periods of low production. The dairy production has reached a point were gross demestic pro duction in terms of whole milk slightly exceeds gross domesti • con sumption Although eighteen mil lion pounds, net, oi butter, an 1 sixty four lr’hcn pounds of cheese were imported during 1923, stocks of con densed milk and other products, more than equivalent to tese im ports, were piled up within the country. Judging from the num bers of.cows on farms, there will be a futher increase in domestic production in 1924 V Foreign sur plus production is likewise steadi ly increasing. Thi s competion, ! coupled with the alreeady eavy pro duction in the country, and the pos sibility that consumer demand may not be indefinitely ‘maintained at | levels predicted upon great industri al prosperity, suggest the necessity for conservatism as to further expan sion in dairy production. With indicatios of a reduced num ber of lambs on feed, and lower ship ments to markets, the prospects favor continuation of a strong mar ket for several months, with larger market supplies in mid-summer. The wool situation is distinctly favorable for producers, and there is apparent ly opportunity at present for probab le in crease in the number of sheep. Poultry production as expanded rapidly in recenj years. The records number of chickens now on ffarms indicates further expansion in 1924. Consumption has also increased at a rate tat has maintains verage prices to producers. Present comparative ly low storage stocks place dyessed poutry in a somewhat stronger posi tion than eggs. It would be depend ent upon continuation a point where /uther profitable expasion may be depended upon continuation of the prsent high level of demand.

McAdoo a popular vote cf 93,6.0 against. 39,947 for Sena;.-..- Und-Tv.-no.:. -fiktSfH 17 counties where official figures have not been received are expected to increase McAdoo’s majority to more than 2 to 1. McAdoo, therefore, with 320 con vention votes, or 113 more than nec essary to secure the nomination, will have the support of the entire Georgia delegation, 28 members, in the national democratic convention. No primary was held in Banks, Dawson, Murray and Toombs coun ties, because of lack of time in which to prepare for handling the election on the Australian ballot system. These counties crary a unit vote of two delegates each. McAdoo majorities returned were decisive in most instances. However, the race was close in Walton county where the poll was 1,022 to 854 for Underwood, and in Montgomery county where Mcadoo barely nosed his opponent out by one vote. The country districts voted larely for Underwood, the returns indicat ed, and McAdoo’s largest totals came from the larger cities. Woihen who were rewarded in thir contests by support of the vot ers Wednsed&y were: Miss Violet Tucker, of Rockdale County, who defeated George W. Crumbley for County school Supt. by a margin of five votes. Miss Ethel Turner elected as School Superintendent of Atkinson County. • Miss Phebe* Broadrick, nomi nated School Superintendent of Whitfield county over J. D. Field, incumbent and R. L. Mann by a plurality of 109. It being the first time in the county’s history that a woman has been elected to public of fice. Mrs. McDaniel was elected Tax Collector of Columbia county, re ceiving 522 votes to her oppenent Anderson’s 221. Miss Annie* Brumby defeated Wil liam Janes, Jehn YV. Sutton and E. L. Thacker for County School Supt. of Polk county. Not only did the women play an important part on the ballot tickets of the various counties, but in prac ticall every district in the state it was reported that the largest wom en’s vote ever cast was recorded Wednedsay.
