TOBACCO ACREAGE
IN GEORIA TO BE
MUCH GREATER
LEXINGTON, Ky„ May 1 Ou—Acre
age of the United States to be de
voted this year to tobacco raising
probably will increase by about 10
per cent over 1919, says a review
made public by the department of
markets, University of Kentucky.
“Kentucky will change the least in
acreage of any of the great tobacco
producing states,” the review recites,
“while indications are that crop acre
age will be increased from 10 to 14
per cent in tire Carolinas and Vir
ginia and about 500 per cent in
Georgia, the latter increase meaning
that farmers of Georgia are taking
<4 wbacco as a means of utilizing
attacked by the boll weevil and
now unsuitable for cotton.”
Concerning the -world tobacco sit
uation. the report, which is based on
information from authoritative do
mestic and foreign sources, says for
eign acreage seems to have increased
very little over 1919, but condition
of the crop is greatly improved and
this indicates there (Should be a con
siderable increase in production.
Reciting that at this time a year
ago there were vast quantities held
in the United States, the bulletin de
ciares that this year about equal, if
nor greater, stocks are held in the
country. "England, Holland and
Scandinavia find themselves with
markets still glutted with tobacco
shipped to them from the United
States from August to December,
1919, at which time the overplus of
tobacco in the Unite.! States was
lifted and moved across the Atlan
tic. either for cash or on credit, in
order to free this country’s markets
for the coming selling season. There
fore," the report sjiys, “European
countries this ye'ar apparently will
not demand tobacco ire, as great quan
tities as before.”
Delving into the probable price of
tobacco for 1920, the report says,
“with acreage now planned and if a
normal yield per acre is produced,
the price of all burrley, except the
highest type of cigarette leaf, should
show a marked falling oil during the
marker season of and even the
highest quality leaf may suffer from
competition with chai Virginia type,
if this is produced in anywhere near
tne quantity' indicated by the acre
age planned.”
Relative to the dark tobacco sit
uation, the survey says, “the present
deplorable stagnant ‘.market for it is
resultant ot two factors —the pres
ent* situation of foreign exchange and
the fact that growers were either
unwilling or unable to market their
tobacco early in the reason.
’•’Frauce, however,”* says the report,
“is likely to become a heavier buyer
of American dark tobacco within the
near future, provide.! that English
exchange rectifies itscilf. because any
improvement in English exchange is
quite likely to be reflected in an im
provement in French etxchange rates.
This statement does not apply as
strongly, at all, to Italian exchange
rates and' hence the situation as to
an Italian market is not encourag
ing.
“It does not seem reasonable,
therefore, to expect a recovery in
dark tobacco prices until those abnor
mal economic conditions; are reliev
ed.” the review concluded.

COTTON
NEW YORK, May 10.—Reports of favora
ble weather in the south over Sunday led to
considerable selling in the cotton market
during today’s early trading, particularly in
the new crop months. The opening was
steady at an advance of 7 to 14 points on
the old crop positions which were bought
by Liverpool and domestic trade interests,
but the new crop was 6 to 16 points lower
and soon sold 38 to 40 points below Satur
day’s closing under liquidation and scatter
ing pressure. The weakness of late months
unsettled the near positions and July sold
off to 35.05, or 13 points net lower. There
was a little better demand around 35.40 for
October and prices later rallied a few points
from the lowest.
July sold off to 37.80 c later in the morn
ing. or 20 points net lower, but the decline
in the new crop positions did not extend
below 35.40 c for October, and trading was
quiet toward midday, with active months
showing rallies of several points from the
lowest. New Orleans was a good buyer here
during the morning, while the selling was
largely local and there was scattered cover
ing on the outlook for showers in the eastern
belt. July held around 3Sc and October
35.67 c early in the noon hour, with active
months ruling some 13 to 20 points below
last night's closing figures. Private cables
reported general selling in Liverpool on
the better weather news from the south.
Trading was very quiet during the early
afternoon, with prices ruling steady around
38.17 c for July and 35.83 for October, or
about Saturday’s closing figures. There was
so-w buying by New Orleans on the rally,
w' 'ch was accomplished by bullish private
< ■ ajvices and talk of too much rain in
southwestern sections.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, May 10.—An irregular
market developed/ in cotton today. After a
hesitating opening there was a fall of 15
to 30 points on fairly good weather condi
tions over the belt, but from this there was
a recovery in which July led, that month
rising to 38.10 or 10 points over Saturday’s
«lose\at the end of the first hour of trading.
Other, months stood 16 to 24 points under
Saturday’s close. October trading at 35.45.
Some of the strength of July appeared to be
due to undoing of straddles in which July
was bought and October sold.
The forecast of showers for almost all
sections of the belt was regarded as un
favorable, sos, while showers would be ben
eficial in some parts of Texas, they would
be detrimental nearly everywhere else,,
according to the opinion generally held.
Late in the morning prices were 3 points
under to 23 points over the close of last
week, July trading up to 38.23 c.
The demand continued until prices were at
net advances of 12 to 27 points, but late in
the day reports of widespread cancellations
of orders booked by mills for finished goods
were received from mill centers and the mar
ket fell off to levels 5 points over to 8
points under the close of last week.

State Crop Report*
The co-operative crop reporting service for
Georgia. F. W. Gist, acting field agent of
the United States bureau of crop estimates,
and J. J. Brown, commissioner of agricul
ture for Georgia, issues the following report
on general farm conditions as of May 1,
1920, covering the subjects indicated:
Wheat
Five per cent of the acreage sown to wheat
last fall is reported as abandoned, leaving
211,000 acres to be harvested this spring.
The crop to be harvested, compared with
that harvested last year, is reported at 85
per cent, which also indicated 211,000 acres.
The condition of the crop to be harvested
is reported at 88 per cent of normal, which
forecasts the total crop for the state of
2,321,000 bushels, which compares with
2,520,000 harvested last year.
Rye
The acreage to be harvested for grain is
reported at 88 per cent of that harvested
last year, and the condition of the crop at
the present time is 89 per cent of normal.
Hay ,
The acreage of tame hay is estimated to
be 94 per cent of that harvested last year,
which accounts for a total acreage to be
harvested this year of 524,000. The condi
tion of hay is reported at 91 per cent of
normal, which, on the acreage to be har
vested. indicates a total crop of 644,000
tons.
A considerable portion of the hay grown
in this state comes from cowpea and pea
nut vines, neither of which crops has yet
been planted. Therefore, the acreage and
production figures indicated above may be
materially changed when the cowpea and
peanut acreage Is determined.
The acreage of wild hay is reported at 95
per cent of that harvested last year. The
per cent of last year’s crop remaining on
farms in the state on May 1 is estimated at
21 per cent, which is about the average
amount of hay held for farm purposes at
this time of year.
Plowing and Planting
For the past five years the average pro
portion of plowing in preparation for all
crops accomplished by May 1 has been 87
per cent. The average proportion of plant
ing accomplished by May 1 has been 80 per
cent. Reports indicate that to the Ist of
May this year only 60 per cent of the plow
ing has been done and only 54 per cent of
the total planting intended has been accom
plished. This marked difference in condi
tion this year, as compared with average
conditions in the state, is due to the un
usual amount of rainfall in the past three
months and also to the shortage of farm
Tabor. This difference, amounting to 27
per cent in plowing and 26 per cent in
planting, presents a rather serious situa
tion. The conditions indicated by these
figures appear to prevail over the entire
state. Os course less plowing and planting
is expected in the northern counties, and re
ports indicate this to be true at tills time;
and the small proportion accomplished is
equally as noted in the southern counties,
where at this time plowing and planting
should be under normal conditions, prac
tically finished. The southern third of the
state has done only about 81 per cent of its
plowing and 75 per cent of its planting,
while the northern third has accomplished
about 35 and 30 per cent, respectively. The
central third occupies, ns is expected, about
the middle ground between these two ex
tremes.
Mortality of Live Stock
With the exception of hogs, the death
rate of farm animals during the past 1 year
has been very close to the five year aver
age. Out of each 1,090 head, 27 horses
and mules of all ages have died from dis
ense; 20 cattle of all ages have died from
disease and 21 from exposure: 22 sheep have
died from disease and 28 from exposure; 50
lambs have died from both disease and ex
posure. The mortality of hogst of all ages
from disease hns been 70 out of each 1.000.
while the five year average number is 79
per 1,000.
Condition of Live Stock
The general healthful condition of farm
animals is shown in the following averages
for the state: Horses and mules. 92; cattle.
90: sheen and hogs, 89 per cent of normal.
These figures fall a little below the aver
k age healthful condition at this time of year.
SENTIMENT BROWS
FOB UNINSTRUCTED
STATE DELEGATION
That the state convention to be
held in Atlanta May 18 will send to
San Francisco an uninstructed dele
gation divided among the three can
didates who ran in the recent presi
dential primary is the growing be
lief in political circles.
Senator Hoke Smith is expected to
return to Atlanta on Monday or
Tuesday and remain here until after
the convention. It is believed he will
urge an uninstructed delegation di
vided among the candidates as the
only fair method of adjusting the
differences that will develop in the
convention.
Senator Smith will not consent to
the application of Rule 10 of the
state executive committee. By vir
tue of this rule, some of the Palmer
Idadets have been claiming the right
to name all the delegates to San
Francisco. The rule provides that the
delegates to San Francisco shall be
selected from the supporters of the
candidate who received the highest
county unit vote in the primary. At
torney General Palmer received the
highest county unit vote on the face
of the returns, but there are ten
contests yet to be settled, and the
convention will be the final judge of
the credentials of all delegates.
There are sufficient county unit votes
involved in the contests to alter the
attorney general’s status as the plu
rality candidate, if they should be
sustained by the convention.
But entirely aside from the out
come of the contests, Senator Smith
will take the position, it is under
stood, that no state executive com
mittee can control the action of a
state convention, much less when it
proposes to exert that control by and
\th rough a minority of the d&legates
(voting in such a convention. In other
words, that minority rule is undemo
cratic, unprecedented and unthink
able.
Neither will Thomas E. Watson
consent to the application of Rule
10. He has announce! that he and
his delegates will resist the rule to
the uttermost. He nas announced
that those who attempt to apply the
rule will invite political disaster for
themselves.
It is plain, therefore, that the only
method whereby the Palmer leaders
can hope to apply Rule 10 to the se
lection of delegates to the national
convention is to bolt tne conven
tion to be held in Atlanta on May
18; and hold a convention of their
own, composed of a minority of reg
ularly elected delegates; and elect
their own delegates to San Francisco
and send them there to contest the
credentials ot any other delegates
which might be elected by the regu
lar convention.
"But whether it would be political
ly advisable to bolt the state conven
tion is the question which is said to
be causing grave concern among the
Palmer leaders. At their conference
last Thursday, held in Macon, it is
understood a majority of those pres
ent were not in favor of the bolting
program. They would much prefer
some other adjustment pt the con
vention’s differences if such a thing
were possible.
An issue involved in the person
nel of the San Fracisco delegation—
in fact, the main isisue, in the opin
ion of most politicians—is the se
lection a Democratic national
committeeman from Georgia. A
delegation named by a bolting con
vention would probably re-elect the
present incumbent, Hon. Clark How
ell, who has held the position twen
ty-five years, and who is the rank
ing member of the national commit
tee in point of service. A delegation
named by the regular convention.
Whether it be divided among the
three presidential primary candidate
or not, might make another choice of
a national committeeman.
Quite a number of Palmer dele
gates to the state convention are
men holding public office or planning
to be candidates for public office in
the forthcoming state primary. It
is understood that they do not relish
the idea of bolting the regular con
vention, especially when their oppo
nents could charge them with bolt
ing to insure the re-election of the
present national committeeman.
Hence the situation resolves itself
into a choice by the Palmer leaders
between two alternatives, as follows:
1. To bolt the convention, name
Palmer delegates, re-elect the pres
ent national committeeman, and go
to San Francisco with a contest
which might or might not be decid
ed in their favor, and which if decid
ed in their favor might entail em
barrassing future political conse
quences in view of the manifest ten
dency of Georgia Democrats to ig
nore party lines where the League
of Nations and other great issues
are concerned.
2. To stay in the convention and
make the best solution of the con
vention’s differences that can be
made, which solution would neces
sarily involve a- recognition of the
right of Senator Smith and Thomas
E. Watson to participate in the nam
ing of delegates to San Francisco, as
well as to participate in the conven
tion’s declarations with regard to the
League of Nations, a third-term
nomination for the president and
other questions that were threshed
out in the presidential primary.
As between these alternatives con
fronting the leaders of the Palmer
faction, there is said to be a grow
ing disposition in favor of the latter.
Conservative Palmer leaders, it is
understood on reliable authority, be
lieve it would subject Democratic
harmony in Georgia to a severe, if
not dangerous, strain to bolt the reg
ular convention and hold a rump
convention composed of delegates
representing a minority of the voters
who expressed themselves in the
presidential primary.
Should they decide to remain in the
convention instead of bolting, and
should the convention name a dele
gation in which all candidates were
represented, the method of selection
would probably be the same that has
always been followed in the past.
That is to say, the delegates would
probably caucus by congressional

today from League Island, it was
learned at the navy department.
On the Texas border, Hew align
ments of the United States regular
army forces are being made.
With Mexico City, Vera Cruz and
Tampico in the hands of the revolu
tionists, American destroyers were
en route today to Mexican waters to
await eventualities and to afford pro
tection to American lives in the Mex
ican gulf ports.
Official confirmation of the fall of
the Mexican capital was received yes
terday by the state department from
the American embassy which report
ed there was no disorder in the cap
ital incident to the transfer of au
thority. Tampico and Vera Cruz also
were reported quiet.
The rapidly changing situation in
the southern republic had developed
even another important question to
day and that concerned President
Carranza. The American embassy re
port made no mention of the presi
dent and reports from Vera Cruz said
that the search in that city had failed
to find him. One report was that he
had been arrested in Esperanza, state
of Vera Cruz, but this was without
confirmation here either in official
dispatches or through advices to rev
olutionist agents.
The dreadnaught Oklahoma was
ordered today to proceed from New
York to Key West, Fla., for possible
duty in Mexican waters. The ship
will stop en route at Philadelphia to
take on a full company of marines
from the League Island station. She
is expected to arrive there tonight.
The Oklahoma should reach Key
West several days ahead of the
transport Henderson, which now is
en route to League Island to take
on an additional force of 1,200 ma
rines. So far as could be learned no
orders have been issued to either ves •
sei to proceed further than Key
WVst.
The department early today had
received no report from the four de
stroyers which were due at Tampico
yesterday.
Estimates of the state department
place the number of Americans in
Mexico at between 6,000 and 7,000.
This number includes radicals and
draft evaders who crossed the bor
der to escape arrest or court proceed
ings.
The department had. no additional
advices today from the American em
bassy or from any of its agents in
Mexico.
PRESIDENT WILSON
CHALLENGES FOES
OF PEACE LEAGUE
(Continued from Page 1)
sampaign with a solid Republican op
position.
Directed, at Johnson
The Republican leaders will be
quick to seize upon the Lodge reser
vations as the oasis of their cam
paign, with the hope that Senator
Johnson will not repeat the admis
sion of Senator Knox’s point and
that he doesn’t want the treaty even
with these reservations. It’s Sena
tor Johnson against whom the presi
dent’s letter to the Oregon Demo
crats is levelled for the time being.
Mr. Johnson just triumphed in his
native state over Mr. Hoover, who
stood for reservations. The Oregon
newspapers with few exceptions
have favored the League of Nations
from the start. The Oregon Journal
conducted a poll which showed an
overwhelming sentiment for the
treaty without any reservations
whatsoever. So far as a test is con
cerned on the unqualified adoption
of the treaty, no better battle ground
could have bee nselected by Mr. Wil
son.
But before th San Francisco con
vention comes around, there will be
another pronouncement from Mr.
Wilson. The letter to the Oregon
Democrats is not the last word*nor
the kind of a plank the Democrats
will adopt. They will take their
stand for some reservations, notably
those proposed by Senator Hitch
cock and agreed upon by a majority
o fthe Democrats and indorsed by
Mr. Wilson himself. On the face of
it, the letter to his original position
of uncompromising opposition to
any change in the treaty or
league. Eventually he will be found
supporting reservations “that do
not destroy the treaty” and con
demning the Lodge reservations on
the ground that they are destruc
tive.
There is a noticeable renewal of
confidence and hope in White House
quarters as Senator Johnson gains
ground. Senator Knox’s speech real
ly helped to bring out the letter to
the Oregon Democrats. _
districts, nominate two national dele
gates from each district, and these
would go to the convention to be con
firmed.
Apportionment of Delegates
On the selection of the “big four’
delegates, there would probably be
one representing each candidate, and
the fourth would probably be chosen
by nominations from the floor. That
is to say, the Palmer people would
name one delegate from the state
at large; the Hoke Smith people
would do the same; the Watson peo
ple would do the same; the fourth
would be a delegate acceptable to a
majority of the convention.
On the face of the returns, regard
less of the contests mentioned
above, Mr. Watson carried five con
gressional districts by plurality,
Senator Smith carried four congres
sional districts by plurality, Mr.
Palmer carried three congressional
districts by plurality.
Should the above stated method of
selection prevail, therefore, the dele
gation would be composed of ten
Watson delegates, eight Smith dele
gates, six Pajber delegates, on© for
each from the state at large, and
the fourth to be a majority selection.
As to their vote upon the floor of
the national convention for the Dem
ocratic nominee for president, the
delegation probably would be in
structed to vote as a unit for which
ever Democrat it considered best
suited and most available as the
party’s standard-bearer. This would
place the Georgia delegation in line
with most of the other delegations,
which are ?£>ing uninstructed. It
would enable the Georgia delegation
to participate unbound and unem
barrassed in the party’s councils.
The liver is the largest and most
important organ in the body, and
when the liver refuses to act, it
causes constipation, biliousness,
headaches, indigestion, gas, sour
stomach, bad breath, dysentery,
diarrhoea, pains in back and under
shoulder blades and under ribs on
right side. These symptoms lead to
colds, influenza or other serious
troubles unless corrected immedi
ately.
An inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys, which over
taxes them and causes the blood
to absorb and carry into the sys
tem the impurities that the liver
and kidneys have failed to elimin
ate. ' !
When you treat the liver alone,
you treat only a third of your
trouble, and that is why you have
to take purgatives every few
nights. Calomel or other ordinary
laxatives do not go far enough. If
you would treat your kidneys and
blood while treating the liver, you
would put your entire system in
order and frequent purgatives would
then be unnecessary.
Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many years
ago recognized these important
facts, and after much study and
research, compounded what is now
known as Dr. Hitchcock’s 'Liver,
Kidney and Blood Powders, three
medicines combined in one. This
was the Doctor’s favorite prescrip
tion for many years, being used by
his patients with marked success.
It is a harmless vegetable remedy
that will not make you sick, and
you may eat anything you like
while taking it.
Get a large tin box from your
druggist or dealer for 25c, under his
personal guarantee that it will give
relief, tone up the liver, stimulate
the kidneys to healthy action and
thereby purify the blood. Keep it
in the home for ready use whenever
any member of the family begins
to feel “out of sorts.” It will
prove a household friend and a val
-1 ; uable remedy.— (Advt.)
