the Intfsirlnnce of Christian home* and
expressed the belief that no man l»

Recent religious thought ha* engaged
Itself considerably with the empty and

President Wilson, 1n speaking of this

Certainly, If those who are guided,
even slightly, by their protessed re

duty to carry their religious standards j
Into the life of their city, state and

FARMERS, ATTENTION!
The South Can Save One Hundred Million Dollars Annually by
Cutting Out Waste and Damage to the Cotton Crop
-r -- ■■
This is a Good Year to Save It---Store Cotton and Protect it
From Damage.
Cables report that cotton Is
worth 1£ cents in Bremen while
commanding only 6X2 cents in the
South. It such Is the case there
Is need of additional supply In
Germany, and, under the decision
f Great Britain to permit ship
ments of cotton to hostile coun
tries thv only ohstacle to resump
tion of a healthy export movement
Is removed. It is estimated that
Ihe two nations mentioned will
buy about half their normal sup
ply. That should account for about
1,500,000 bales of the crop. Ex
porters appear to have been only
awaiting the decision of Great
Britain for yesterday alone more
than 41.000 bales were exported
compared with only 18,000 .the pre
vious day.
Resumption of operations by the
cotton exchanges will prove help
ful by permitting the entrance Into
the situation of the speculative
element, thereby distributing the
weight of the crop over a larger
Better to Sett Cotton and Take
Losses, Says Big Chicago Financier
Mr. E. 0. Boisot, Vice President of First Trust and Savings
Bank, in Augusta, Talks of Situation---Few People Calculate
Cost of Carrying Charges on Cotton---Sell Crop and Then
Prepare to Diversify.
"The people of the South shoudld sell their cotton, take the losses
and prepare to diversify.” said Mr. E. Q. Boisot, vice president of the
First Trust * Ravings Bank of Chicago, who spent Thursday and
Friday in Augusta looking into the cotton situation. While here Mr
Boisot and wife were at the Genesta. They left for Charleston at 3:40
o'clock Friday afternoon.
"It may seem hard," Mr. Boisot continued, "and It Is hard to sell
cotton nt a low price, but few people calculate the cost of carrying It,
and we do not know when tt will again bring from 10 to 12 cents. The
loss In weight, the Interest, the Insurance and the storage all are big
factors In holding cotton.”
"But when it costs ten cents,—or nine cents at least.—to raise tt
how do you expect people to sell tt at front six to seven cents and live - ’"
ventured a reporter.
"That seems hard, of course, but It would be better to take the
loss, plant very conservatively of cotton next year and begin to raise
oats, wheat, corn and live stock,” said the Chicago financier, “than to
try to hold an enormous quantity of cotton for an indefinite period.
Why, ts the price was artificially carried to nine cents per pound the
average farmer would not sell hts cotton even then. He would hold It
for ten cents or bette#.
"I am firmly convinced that the present low price of cotton will be
a great boon to the south because it will teach the people that they
must stop raising all cotton. There Is no reason why corn, meat oats,
flour nnd other articles should he shipped here from the west when you
are blessed with the greatest climate and as fertile soil as ever the
sun shone upon lam Interested In the south, am a frequent visitor
down here, particularly In this section of the south, and the Institution
with which I am connected does business with people right here In Au
gusta. and I give It as my firm conviction that It Is far better for the
farmers to sell their cotton at seven cents than to hold It to pile up
next year’s crop and then have an enormous surplus.
"The uncertainty as to how long the war will last and the fact
that It may be much more than a year before Europe can again begin
to take cotton in ltirse quantities are among the reasons why tt Is an
unsound business principle to hold tho bulk of the south's cotton
crop."
Mr. and Mrs Boisot took luncheon with Mr. Jacob Phlnlzy at
Circular Court Friday. Mr. Boisot declared. Just before leaving Augusta,
thak Mr. Fhlnlxy had one of the finest farms he had ever had the pleas
ure of visiting.
