"We do not want a price that would not be remunerative to the grower, but wo do not want a fancy price simply because we, across the water, look to the United States for our sup ply of raw material. "It has been the policy of those en gaged' in the manufacture of cotton stuffs to reduce the cost of produc tion of taking full advantage of science and Invention and great econ omies have resulted, It would be Avell If this example Is followed by the growers, There Is need for co-operation and we; hope that as a result of. the eon feronee held In Georgia wo will be brought In closer touch with the .In dustry hero.'

We in the past have had to complain about Ameri can cotton that is carelessly grown. Cotton gambling is another evil that icts against friendly relations for grower and manufacturer, but I hope our visit has not been in vain.

More Than Fifty Foolbalf Contests Will be Pull ed Off HOT BALL AT WEST T University of North Carolina vs. William and Mary at Chapel Hill. The Aimjr Will Contest With Vale and the Navy With Harvard, and the Games Will llo Warm Sum-, Iers The Brown University and Pennsylvania Teams at Philadel phia, and Others That Arc At tracting Much Attention List of Games and Other Pointers fop Uio Pigskin Cranks. - (By W. S. FARNSWORTH.) New York, Oct. 19. West Point may take up a lot of space on tho football map today but there are at least eleven of the other fifty-odd games that will be; watched with unusual interest. ". Hscepting the struggle on the gridiron that overlooks the scenic Hudson, the Navy-Harvard game at the head of Chesapeake Bay Is by far the most important battle of the day. There is no doubt about the outcome of the game that is. Harv ard should win. but the point that will be watched with Interest is how big a score the crimson can run up against the gritty middles. There is sure going to be hot do-, ings in Philadelphia. Brown and Pennsylvania meet in their annual struggle and this game should vkve the hardest and best grime of the day. Last year the no bis sots of William Penn beat the Providence University. It is not likely" however, they will total any 1 such Bcore today as last year. They may win but football experts over the country are looking for Brown , to at least cross Pennsylvania's lino. Tho Indians should have little trouble in downing Bucknell now that they have tho forward pass per fected. Yet Bucknell has often proven a stumbling block to the big ger colleges. If Washington & Jefferson were anywhere as strong as they were last season they are sure to give Prince ton a hard battle. Frank Piekarski, the great ex-lineman of Pennsylva nia, is coaching the W. &, 3., and he is confident that the team will re peat their last year's performance today. Cornell and Pennsylvania state didn't mean last year but the Itha cans will have little trouble with their opponents. Williams last year gave Harvard a fair game and will have to be given some credit for this. But that beefy Salt City line will look like the rocks of Gibraltar to Williams' rush line. Dartmouth is not nearly as fast as usual and the same can be said of the University of Maine. But the Hanover College should win handily at that. Of the other games that will be worth figuring upon as among the bst are Amherst vs. Trinity, Lafayette vs. Fordham and Urslnus vs. Dicklnsonr And then there are numerous games In the west that (Continued on Page Seven.)
