Ler.non, of Vim Tifton, Ga., section, who is- visiting' in Che city as the guest of Mr. P. L. Gore. When seen this morning Ain Lennon talked In terestingly of' the cotton situation anv while admitting mat this year's crop is a decidedly short one firmly be lieves that the new high price that is bound to come because of the short age will i iUoi the; ioor production. IT C TT U-nhon n the -opinion thattilfJ ;nost importint l)aU;r.ft companieS' tho crop fjcm this city to Tifton will not represent more than 50 per cent, of the 1914 crop. The 1914 crop sold for eight cents and some brought 10 while cotton today is selling for 15 and a fraction cents. ' Seventy-five per cent of the Georgia crop has been picked and ginned and the -grade is very good. The short crop is the reason assigned by Mr. Lennon for the expected advance in price. Some of the Georgia planters are holding their cotton until prices are better, while others are -satisfied selling now. The. planters Of Carroll, Worth, Dougherty, Miller) Michelly Decatur, Grady and Thomas counties are en ' joying what is termed gtnhtng days Jioaord Ninety 4 ifcxr - eeot. of . the-- letop l these counties is in. y rne doii weeva nas done little or no .damage in Georgia -for. he works on nothing but tops and tops were scarce during July, the month the boll weevil gets in mosL of hig wOrk. An excellent .. illustration of the marked shortage in the crop was ex plained by "Mr. Lennon when he point ed out that he would make less than 50 bales on 125 acres of land this year as against 113 bales on the same acre, age in 19141- The shortage Is due to late planting. The first planting was made in dust and when the rains came a second planting was riecesary. The second went in much the 'same manner as the first but the third pan ned out very well. Many of the Georgia planters will sell 50 per cent of Cheir crOp at pre vailing , prices and hold the remain ing fifty until prices advance, accord ing to the Georgia planter. Georgia produced 3,000,000 bales of cotton in 1914 as against 1,500,000 this season. The latter figures" were given .out by the government a few days ago,' ac cording to Mr. Lennon and he adds that the government expert later stat ed publicly that he had in all prob ability Over-estimated the crop. Mr. Lennon formerly lived fn Blad en county, this State, but moved to Georgia about 35 years ago. PRESIDENTOFF FOR Will Address Grain Dealers' Association There Tonight On Live Issues.
