SEEN AND HEARD IN WASHINGTON Staggering Figures Illustrating the Volume and Value cf Farm Products in th?s Country?New Rccorc. Imports. James A. tiollomon m .vaauia v institution. Washington, January -S.?A member of the Michigan delegation in congress?a republican, of course? introduced a bill appropriating a mil* " -- 1 lion aouars ior uh ii&\ ilui hji feeble-minded; whereupon some one suggested?not on ;he tloor of the house?that if the Michigan voters let Newberry get away with the senatorship on the ground that the government has no right lo interfere * with local elections they wiii deserve k f a bigger asylum tnan a minion uui lars will build. And that is no jokes! There have been a great many prominent Georgians in the capital since the holidays. Colonel Clayton Robson, of "Six-twenty-three Kimball." whose friends are as numerous in the district as they are in his home state, left for Atlanta Sunday after a stay of two weeks or more. Judge Joe Pottle of Millidgeville, was another visitor, and was shown the Washington monument and other places of interest by Congressman Vinson. The well-know engineer-evange| list, Rev. Thomas Harrison cf Atlanta, has been under the guiding wing of Congressman Upshaw for several days, and has about put through his plan for welfare work at the big terminals in the interest of the transient trainmen. The Pratt brothers?N. A. and Louis?accompanied by their counsel, former Congressman William Schley TT - oox-o-ro] r} Q \*Q b prp in XTUWCIJLU, V1.U1 a hearing before the house mines ... and mining committee relative to * their very just pyrite claim." Edgar Watkins of Atlanta, was here also on this an<! other government matters. He, like Hollins Ran^ <io!ph, who passed through a night cv two ago, runs ?n ar.:l out so o^ten that one forgets they arc visitors. F^ct is, it is impossible to w;.lk around official circles here with on running into a bunch of Georgian* every day. Interesting Figures As to Agriculture. It has been an hour since I finished writing the * above paragraph about prominent Georgians, ror ine reason I have been reading the January copy of The Crop Reporter, issued by the department of agriculture, which just reached me today. It is more interesting than it looks, with its eight pa^es crowded with figures. Indeed, it may be called entertaining, particularly to a Georgian who draws the comparisons, and works out from it the story of that state's wonderful agricultural resources ana opportunities. In the estimated value of farm (products in the United States I find . that the gross for 1919 is the enormous total of $24,982,000,000, as compared with only $2,460,107,454 in 1889. Think of the almost unbelievable fncrease in thirty years! As an illustration of how this country responded to the appeal to raise food to feed the boys overseas, note the tremendous jump in crop valuations in 1917 and since. In 191G the gross total was $13,406,000,000;; in 1917, $21,386,000,000; in 1918, $22,480,000,000, and in 1919 the figures quoted above, practically twentyfive billions! Here is cotton seed production by states: Georgia's crop in 1919 had a market value of $61,204,000?think of it! Cotton seed mind you. In 1910 it was only $22,580,000, and a few years previuus uie cuuuu stcu tiu^, in dollars and ccnts, was practically I worthless. Peanuts are something that was never regarded seriously as a money crop except as a forage for hogs. Georgia harvested for nut sales in 1919 a total of 127,7G4,000 pounds, and the average was around 8 cents. A money crop of around $10,000,000! ? Not counting pasturing! Of cours^, I have mentioned just two small it.pms. When cotton. corn, wheat, fruit, potatoes, market * vegetables, beef, pork, lamb, chickens, eggs and then a hundred smaller products are mentioned the total figures are simply staggering. Great is agricultural Georgia! ? New Record Made by American Exports. Wh^a I am on statistical subjects it may be interesting to note that the excess of American exports over imports in 1919 amounted to $4,017,g 000.000, a new record, according to a | statement just issued cy the bureau of foreign and dom' sf r .

Both exports and imports ' were higher than in December a year i ^ ; ?n ago. w. The imports of gold in 1919 ! amounted to $77,000,000, compared | ,. with $62,000,000 in 1918 and $552,-,, 000,000 in 1917. Exports of gold in j 1919 jumped to $368,000,000 from $41,000,000 in 1918. In 1917 they re amounted to $372,000,000. ; ^ No marked change is noted in the ? m< imports or exports of silver, re ceipts amounting to $89,UUU,UUU ana r shipments to $239,000,000 in 1919. ^ Lifting Russian Blockade Has Important Results. ov | "The lifting of the general Rus- r. sian blockade will have important ^ consequences for the Ukraine," de-, clared Julian Batchinsky, head of the Ukrainian mission in America, to me *ei the other day. Ja^ In this region, which .s without' exception the most fertile in all Eu- j *)A rope, Mr. Batehinsky says there ai*e;Le large quantities of grain and su-: ca gar, of which other nations have su long been in dire need. Authorities j of the Ukrainian republic now con- j trol no less than 400,000.000 pounds tic of sugar and 20,000,000 bushels of:?f wheat, to say nothing of hides, i spirits and many other products, ' 1- - _ 1- wn i-f i r* rr -Pav OV_ I j WHICH illt* suutra uti wainiif, x\ji ^.-v j I port. In soviet Russia there is lit- j th jtle, if any, grain for export; in! m< j Ukraine, on the other hand, it ex-J de i ists in considerable aboundance. j m< j Ukraine itself, as Mr. Batchinsky Di : further asserts, is gratified at the op-, dif jportunity she will have to import, pr ' fti/.U rl^!v.rro oc mo.'licirris snro^ifal , try OUV.11 UO invvi.x A?.v - , ~ ^ , I goods, cloth, clothing, shoes and ag- ] ha jricultural machinery.

Many physicians will continue just this treatment and nothing more. Weakness ar?J heart depression are characteristic of Influenza. Plain Aspirin is slightly heart depressant. For that reason Aspitone should be used as it does not depress the heart, containing with Aspirin a safe, slight heart cxliilarant to counteract the slightly depressing effect of the Aspirin. Your druggist can supply Aspitone tablets, 35c the box, and Eucapine Salve r?0c the jar. If your druggist does not keep it order by mail from the manufacturers.
