So certain are Captain Batson and his friends that the daring venture will be successful that a concern has been organized, known as the Bat son Aero Company, incorporated un der the laws of New Jersey, with a capital stock of 3300,000, “to operate between Savannah.

A. ROSE ij' ovyi;;. tin- whole Southeast, and Atlanta—because it is the commercial and financial center of the Southeast—will enter upoi; one of the most prosperous eras any section of the nation ever has enjoyed when the cotton crop is moving in earnest this fall—by October 1 at the latest. In 1911. all seasons put their heads together in kindly con spiracy. and Georgia grew 2,768,627 bales of eottton, the greatest crop the historic State ever knew. It is the fashion to quote 191! as the most wonderful year the State could expect. Unmistakable signs show 1913 will overtop 1911. Here is the proof: In 1911 Georgia grew, or let us say gathered—for it grew thousands of bales which never were ginned or even picked—* 2,768.627 bales of cotton. But the whole South grew 15,622,701 bales, excluding linters. Prices were correspondingly low. Georgia got about $124,500,000 for its 1911 crop. Almost ready for the gins to-day are 2,250,000 bales. Indies tions are that this crop will bring Georgia $155,500,000, for 14, cent middling cotton is a probability, not a possibility. of this $155,000,000 a much greater proportion will be profit than accrued from the banner crop. Four reasons are apparent: This is a yield produced at, less cost than any previous crop ; drouth in the West will make the total yield short of the worldk aetua* needs,’ particularly as the left-over supply Is abnormally small, Georgia will spend less for corn, hay and oat* than ever before having record-breaking crops of all three food-stuff*; the shortage of corn, hay and oats will mean good prices for tha' most impor tant by-product of eottton, cotton seed SHORT CORN CROP INEVITABLE Consider the last first, because it has been overlooked geo era 11} Drouth in Kansas and the other great agricultural States of the West and Southwest makes a short crop of corn inevitable Corn is selling at an abnormally high price—around 77 cent* a 1 ' Chicago and St. Louis for the actual stuff. Seventy-seven cent corn means high beef and pork. It’s pret ty expensive to fatten hogs or cattle for market, on that sort of diet. High pork spells high lard. High lard means greater de mand for cotton seed oil products, so much so that the cotton seed oil speculator watches the lard market as closely as he does tile oil quotations. Expensive feed, too, means a shortage of cattle for slaughter and » shortage of blood and bone fertilizer, the packers’ by-product, which is just where cotton seed meal fertilizers may reap a harvest. Expensive corn, again, insures greater demand for cotton seed hulls as cattle feed. No one wants to go on record as saying that cotton seed will sell at a record price. But, it is evident it will not be a drug on the market. Already cotton seed is selling for $20 a ton and bet ter in South Georgia. Crushers say Georgia will send 900,000 tons of seed to oil mills ,.his fall. At $20 a ton that is $180,000,000. Add that to $155,000,001' tor the lint—it makes one dizzy! Rack to the first reason for Georgia's enormous prospective profits. Everyone ?-ecognizes that economy has been the watch word for the year. The farmer has bought as little as possible at the store. He has borrowed as little money as possible. He has cut down his supply of fertilizer. The old harness, the old wagon the same old mule, the same overalls, have served another season Small expense ami good selling priee make excellent profits LITTLE COTTON IN WEST Texas and Oklahoma, experts say. will produce not more than I 000,000 bales this year, as against 5,278,500 in 1911. Alabama and Mississippi show severe deterioration through the combined malevolence of bad weather and insects. Louisiana never has been a factor in the cotton world since the boll weevil invaded the Cre oh- State. The Southeast will make, in proportion, the best crop of all the belt. U1 this would be of little avail if the Georgia farmer had to ■wuu ail .hi money in got for corn, hay and oat# to feed to —
