One-Third Reduction.
At Milledgeville the farmers of
Baldwin County passed resolutions to |
curtail the cotton crop one-third and
guano one-third, and recommended to
the farmers of the South the applica
tion of an eight-hour law to the
making of the 1919 crop of cotton to
prevent an overproduction, and to
sustain the price of cdotton now on
hand. In response to the proclama
tion of Governor Dorsey that the
farmers of Georgia take firm action
|today towards the reduction of tho[
cotton crop of 1919, a representative
and earnest gathering of the farmers |
of Baldwin County, with one of the
leading: bankers of the county asl
| chairman, unanimously passed reaolu-,
| tions to reduce the cotton crop of this |
county one-third. Perhaps for the;
first time in the history of the county |
leading negro farmers were called on
to know how they felt about the es—,
forts being made, Mr'l what would be
the attitude of theirvrace, who. muke!
almost half the cotton of the South.
They stated that they believed their !
race would heartily co-operate with
their white neighbors to secure any
thing that was best for the section.
The following resolution, introduced
by J. L. Sibley, of this county, a large
landowner, was fully discussed and
almost unanimously passed, as it was
felt it would serve the double purpose
of securing the moral support of la
bor in this fight that the farmer is
making to get a fair return for his
labor and at the same time prevent
labor from going too far 'in its de
mands as to hours: 4
“Whereas the farmers of the Svuffh
still have in their possession a large
part of the 1918 crop of cotton pro
duced under war conditions; and
whereas a half-naked world needs
every bale of this cotton at a fair
price; and whereas thete is a specu
lative interest attempting to secure
this crop and the crop of 1919 at a
price below the cost of production:
and whereas every class of labor“that
handles this cotton after it leaves the
farmers’ hands is now on soon will be
working under an eight-hour law.“
to the end that a fair reward may be
received for their labor; and where
as at least 30 cents a pound is neces
sary to secure son the farmers of the
South a fair wage for the Jabor he
®xpended to make this crop: There
fore, be it |
“Resolved by this convention, That
we recommend to the cotton growers
of the South that as loag as the price
bid for the cotton on hand of the 1918
crop is below 30 cents a pound that
they restrict their efforts toward pro
ducting the crop of 1919 to a day of
eight hours or 48 houwss a week, to
the end that they receive a suitable
reward for their work and not pro
duce so much of everything that the
rest of mankind can live better than
they do and yet sit down one-third
of the time.” b
Similar meeting® are being held in
practically every section of the cot
ton belt. At Huntsville, Ala., Madi
son County, farmers in a mass meet
ing adopted resolutions pledging
themselves to redfice their cotton
acreage 33 1-3 per oé%t as compared
with the acreage of 1918, Last geay
Madison County produced 32,000 bales.
Precinct committees -will obtain
pledges from all cotton palnters and
see that they are observed. :

(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—Great
Britain has failed to live up to its
axreemen‘t to carry fifty per cent of
food reliéf to the stricken nations
of KEurope, and consequently the
United States is burdened with the
enrtire task.
This was made known by Chair
mank. N. Hurley, of the Shipping
Board, late today when he announced
there was a shortage of 500,000 tons
to move cargoes from American
ports and said he had appealed by
cable to the British representative in
Paris to mave them divert the ton
nage from other channels at once.
Placing the entire burden of Euro
pean relief on American shipping
was working a double hardship,
officials of the shipping board point
ed out. In addition to causing a very
material shortage in.tonnage avail
able for commercial pu;imse relief
ships in almost every instance were
compellled to return in ballast be
cause of the inability to make up a
return cargo in_the stricken nations.
Dyring the ‘week thirteen more
vr-ss“s with a deadweight tonnage
of 93,619 were added to relief work,
bringing the total to 94 vessels of
770,108 deadweight tons, the largest
merchant marine engaged in anyj
special service in the world. All of the
vessels, with the exception of eight,
were built during -the war, In ud-{
dition to the ships in the relief trade
2,500,000 deadweight tons of Ameri
can merchant shipping are still en-i
gaged in strictly war work for the
army in France and Russia. ‘
The relief program for December
and January call for the transpor
tation of 285,000 tons of flour, milk
and pork products. In those two
months 265,427 tons were carried in
American bottoms and the remain
der in Dutch and Norwegian.
War’s Greatest Flying Ace
To Tell Experiences Here
Colonel William A. Bishop, premier
flying ace of the war, who sent down
72 Germal aeroplanes in flames offi
cially recorded, and unofficially cred
ited with 110 machines out of 200 en
gagements, is coming to Atlanta the
latter part of March to lecture on the
part the aeroplane played in the late
war,
Colonel Bishop is coming to At
lanta under Al}hv auspices of the At
lapta Woman’s Club, and its percent
age of the proceeds will go for the
establishment of a home for feeble
minded childrén in the city, He comes
to Atlanta after filling Carnegie Hall
in New York City to capacity on two
return engagements, and is duly ae
credited by all nations as being the
greatest and most spectacular tyer
the war produced.
In years, Colonel Bishop is only a
boy. Before he had attained his ma
jority he was accredited with thir
teen enemy planes, and when the war
ended was only 24 years of age. Born
in Canada, he {s more American than
English, under whose flag he fought,
and despite the fact of his years, was
one of five mempbers of the British air
hoard, who directed the operations of
22,000 airplanes.
Colonel Bishop graduated from the
Canadian Military Academy, which
corresponds to West Point, and sailed
for France as an officer in the Cana
dian infantry during the first few
months of the war. On arriving in
England, and eeeing the picturesque
life of the aviators, he secured a
transfer to the new branch of war
fare.
For several months Colonel Bishop
carried a series of articles in The
Saturday Kvening Post, under the ti
tle of “Shooting Stars.” This work,
which was widely read, is said to give
more in detail the operations of the
alr fleet than any articles written on
the subject during the war.

committee appointed to arrange for:
