SAVA2CXAH Sc*pt. 13—A Georgia man. trith ambitions vision, is plan 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- plane. 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 on Aero Comoanv. incorporated un 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 no. Thunderbolt, and it is expicled that thousands of people will make the trip to the resort to see the biR machine as i; takes to ine air. yif a size to permit the carrying of ♦ entinwesi we k.

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
