HIFLIN ATTACKS FIGURES ^ Says Cotton Crop Overestimati f 1,500,000 Bales Washington, Dec. \?The estima of this year's cotton crop by the Boa of Crop Estimates at 12,987,000 bal was challenged in the Senate today 1 Senator Heflin, Democrat, Alabam who said this was an over estimate 1,600,000 bales. "These figures do such violence the facts," Senator Heflin said,, "ai are so at variance with the truth j IW W1C ftlIIVUXiv VI vvvwai |#*vvkv<#v?i year, that I felt it my duty to chs lenge their correctness, and to give the Senate and the country some fac and figures to rustain my contention "I contend that the Board of Cr< Estimates has overestimated the pre at cotton crop by at least 1,250,0< bales," he continued. We had ginn< to December 1 of thus year 10,144,0( bales. "In the other two crop years which the amount ginned to Deceinh 1 was around 10,000,000 bales tl ^ amount remaining to be gir.ncd both of those years after December whs less than 1,000,000 bales. MJf we should add lo the amount i 20,144,000 bales ginned to December of this year 1,500,000 bales, tl amount, say, which remained to 1 ginned after December 1, we will hai ^ a crop of 11,644,000 bales. Th amount falls short of the crop board estimate of this year's "crop bv 1.345 w00 bales. " The average amount of cottc ginned for the last five years aft December 1 was 1,745,000 bales. If v i add that amount to the 10,144,0( L ginned to December 1 of this year v || have 11,889,000 bales. The warm ar B dry fall season of 1920 has been mo; H favorable for the early opening ar ?? gathering of cotton than in a ye< I within the last ten and the presei crop was more nearly gathered ar ginned by December 1 of this yei than has been the case in any oth< ? crop year to my knowledge. "I am confident that the final gii pers. report will show that the Boa: . <rf Crop Estimates has overestimab the 1920 cotton crop by between 1 250,000 and 1,500,000 bales."

Many of our burdens are unnecessary and often immaginary. 1 The United States is the best off of any nation in the world. If we will 30 put the same, or even a fraction of 'e the same, cooperation, courage and confidence into the task of rcadju~t's ment that we put into the war, we ! shall be out of the woods in a short 1 time and better off than ever. >n Thousands of men are facing their cr heart breaking burdens like heroes. ,e Let us catch their spirit and emulate ^ their example.

Panics re are normal to beasts and bugs, but not K' to men. ir Already we have probably turned the. corner. Mow is the time to stand w together; to postpone selfishness; to lr throttle greed.
