PliAN FOU BIG CROUPS. Wiir or Peace There Will Bo Urgent Demand for All We Cnn Halse. Atlanta, Feb. 17.-What effect the war will have on Southern agricul ture bas been a matter of concern to agricultural interests of the South. Does tho cotton outlook justify plant ing a large crop? Are recent de pressions in the market of any spe cittl significance? These are ques tions which have been asked and have received optimistic answers from some of the agricultural, and business leaders of the South. .Herbert Myrick, a national agrl cultural authority, says: "The iin modiate effect of war will be greater activities in manufacturing and agri culture. Especially am I confident over the South's outlook. Peace or war spells prosperity for the South. Cotton consumption will be so great tinder either peace or war that the intrinsic value of this crop ls liable to'rule at a high level. " Governor Harding, of the Federal Reserve Hoard says: "Coax from the ?soil during 1917 as great an abund ance as possible of crops of all kinds." Mr. Wellborn, chairman of the board, Federal Reserve Bank of At lanta, says: "Notwithstanding the recent unprecedented break in the cotton market-due almost entirely in my opinion to speculative manip ulations- I am firm In the belief that cotton will bring a very profitable price during the continuance of the war and for some time after hostili ties have ceased. ?"The widespread movement'in the diversification of crops and increased interest in live-stock production will be given further encouragement dur ing this year in view of the high prices prevailing for all agricultural products; and, with the spread of tito boll weevil 1 have little fear of over-production of the South's lead it) g staple." Harry Hodgson, president of the Southern Fertilizer Association, says: "Whether there ls peace or war there is good reason to believe lDat what the Southern farmer will have to sell this year will bring splendid prices. The only enemy that need worry the Southern farmer very much is the enemy from Mexico-the boll 'weevil, if cotton farmers will enlist for this fight and follow strictly the orders which agricultural leaders are giving this enemy can be field in check sufficiently to admit of ?making use of the high price of cot Ion to good advantage." President. A. M. Sonic, of the Oeorgia State College of Agriculture, says: "While excited Wall street may influence prices for a day, it re quires no seer to figure out that more war means more demand for farm crops. The Southern farmer should go after the biggest yields possible by planting the best seed in the best prepared seed bed, apply a liberal amount of fertilizer and cultivate In tensively." C?. W. Covington, president of the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers' As sociation, Hazlehurst, Miss., says: "While depressions in cotton may take place because of the war situa tion, farmers would be wise to con sider that lt ls no more than a flurry. There ls, in fact, nothing to Induce the Southern farmer to do else than .to go tn for his share In the benefits of war prices." IN FI VF MINUTES ! NO INDIGESTION, GAS OR SOUR, ACID STOMACH.
