President of the Georgia Cotton |

gave some food for thought in his
speech .at the court house Saturday
aftemon, September 22nd.
In his address, Mr. Conwell im
pressed upon the farmers present that
the only way their farm problems’
would ever be solved would he for
the farmers to solve them themselves.
Mr. Conwell pointed out that practi
cally every other industry in exis-

organization and paternalism by the
government and that it was the only
avenue open to the agricultural in- j
dustry.

The Standard School for Sunday
School workers, which was to have
been heid at the Methodist church in
this city next week, under the direc

the North Georgia Conference, has
*n called off.
It was thought best by the local
ml of managers not to undertake
hold the school at the time set, as
the fair would be operating, and it
ould be difficult to create interest
for its successful operation.
Rev. J. F. Yarbrough, pastor of the
Methodist church, wrote Rev. Homer
Thompson, Gonferenfre Superinten
dent, of the decision of the Board,
and has received a letter stating that
the school would not be held.

day, October 1st, at 4:00 P. M.
Reports covering a period up to
September 10th. showed Baldwin
;ounty far in the rear in number of
isles of cotton ginned when com
pared to the number ginner for a
similar >eriod in 1927. 185 bales
been ginned to date in com
parison to 2,826 fo rthe same period
lart year.
The reports disclose the fact that
the Baldwin cotton crop will fall
.•eral thousand bales Bhort of last
year and will be the smallest in the
history of the county. Predictions
had gone out that the crop would
hardly equal half of last year’s pro
duction, the continued heavy rains
coming during year had prati-
cally wrecked the entire output.
D. Stentbridge, cotton enum
erator for Baldwi ncounty .has made
reports to the Department of Cf I
merce. Gins in the county have only
operated part time and is expected
that their season will be unusually
short.
The cotton that is now being
brought to market has been badly
damaged while it is believed that
all cotton picked from now until the
end of the harvest will bring a great
er price -and help boost thc market.
Agent E. A. Smith stated that the
crop this year would be late and
that he believed that many bales
would be brought within thc
few weeks, and while the figures
indicate a great decrease in tne pro
duction that the outlook for the next
month Is somewhat brighter.
