She held her mother’s hand in hers

f each man, hoping for a sign that

ning an rmrcipiane trip actor.s the At-
lantc Ocean. The t m» for tho ven-
tnre is not far distant, and the busy
hammering and filing that ran b.-
heard in the workshop near Savannah
tills that every preparation is being
made.
It is Captain Matthew a 75nr.*en.
a retired army offictr. who will make
this ehalieneo *o destiny, iie has
been srorldng for years toward this
end. and ha' perfected a ntilqne type
. f flying machine that is popularly
known as the Tatson hydro-acro-

So certain arc Captain Batson and
hi*, friends that the daring veninrr
vri'i be successful that a concern naa
been organized, known as :hc Bat

der tho laws of Xcw Jersey, with a
apira; S'ork of SII'l.C'PP ’to operate
between Savannah. Ga.. and liver-
pool Bngland. a line of passenger-
carrying air oraft, ’ according to the
words of tho charter.
Captain ra"on is president of the
company. The line will no: be es-
:ab’.ith'’d for little more than a year,
Hit there trill be trial flights a-plenty
before that time, as the plans state,
at Thunderbolt. Brickyard Island, on
the V.'dmington River, where the
plant is located
Models cly faithfully.
The first flight of the hydro-aere-
planc will be made early. The mod
el-. of the machine have flown faith
fully. The entire machin is now as
sembled. the living sec ion having
bc^n fitted to the boat hull several
days ago.
It is the intention of Captain Bai-
ron to navigate the craft in o ;h,-
Wilmington River, and to make thi
first t’lftl flights in the dlrect'on of
Wilmington Island. The tests of the
airship will be visible from the Casi

that thousands of people will make

In I'll ail seasons put their heads together in kindly eon
apira< ;• am (>> orgia g’ rw 2,768,627 bales of cottton, the greatest
crop the historic State eve' knew' Jt is the fashion to quote 1911
as t.b; most, wonderful yea>- the State could expect. Unmistakable
signs show 191‘vi w'l overtop 1911
Here i« the proof:
in 1911 Georgia grew, or let us sa\ gathered—for it grew
thouseowls of hales which never were ginned or even picked—
2,768,627 bales of cotton But the whole South grew 15,622,70!
bales, excluding linters. I’rices were correspondingly low. Georgia
got about $124,500,000 for its 1913 crop
Umos ready for the gins to-day are 2,250,000 bales. Indiea
ini. : ’tut this crop will bring Georgia $155,500,000, for 14-
een. Middling cotton is a probability, not a possibility.
)f is $155,000,000 a mum greater proportion will be profit
than accrued from tie banner crop Four reasons are apparent
This is a yield produced a* less cost than any previous crop, drouth
in ihe 'Wes; wiC mak< the ota! yield short of the world’s actual
aeeas, particularly as tin left-over supply is abnormally small
Georgia will spend bss for corn, hay and oats than ever before
having record-!"- a dug crops of all three food stuffs, the shortage
of win hay and oa> wij : wea/. good prices for that most impor
tant by-product of '-oi ttoe, cotton seed
SilORT COFM CROP INEVITABLE
Consider the Iasi linn,, because it nas been overlooked gen
erally
Drouth in Kansas and the other great agricultural States of
;hr Went and Kouti west makes a snort crop of corn inevitable
Corn is selling at a abnormally high price—around 77 cents **■
Chicago and >St. Lotus 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 porl« gpeijs high lard. High lard means greater de-
iiiaiul for cotton seed oil products, so much so that the cotton seed
oil apecnlaior watches the lard market as closely as be does the
oil quo at.ionv F*urns!v< feed, too, means a shortage of cattle for
slaughter and a shortage, of blood and bone fertilizer, the packer*'
by nroduei, whirl; is just where cotton seed meal fertilizers may
reap n harvest. Expensive corn, again, insures greater demand
tor cotton seed hulls ab cattle feed.
No one wains to go on record as saying that cotton seed will
sell at n record price But it is evident it will not be a drug ot
the market. Aln-ady cotton seed s selling for $20 a ton and bet
ter in South Georgia,
Crushers say Georgia will send 900,000 tons of seed to oil mills
this fall. At $20 a ton tha is $180,000,000 Add that to $155,000,000
lor the lint—it makes one dizzy!
Back to the first, reason for Georgia’s enormous prospective
profits. Everyone recognizes that economy has been the watch
word for the year The farmer has bought as little as possible at
the store lie has borrowed as little money as possible. He hat
cut down tns supply of fertilizer The old harness, the old wagon,
the same old mule, the same overalls, have served another season
Small expense and goofi selling price make excellent profits
LITTLE COTTON IN WEST
Texas and Oklahoma, experts say, will produce not more than
1,000,000 hales this year, as against 5,278,500 in 1911. Alabama
and Mississippi snow severe deterioration through the combined
malevolent ’ of bad weather ard insects. Louisiana never ha* been
a factor in the cotton world since the boll weevil invaded the Cra-
ole State The Southeast will make, in proportion, the best crop
of all the belt.
All this would be of little avail if the Georgia farmer had to
soend nil the money he go T for corn, hay and oats to feed hit
