Pointing out that the south will never again raise as large a cotton crop as in the past, because of what were termed ''suc cessful efforts towards acreage reduc tion," the crop report committee of the newly formed American Cotton Asso ciation made public its findings at a meeting today of the members. The lack of potash, the detrimental effect of certain domestic fertilizers, bad weather conditions and prospect of a heavy toll to be taken by the boll weevil are the chief points commented on by the report, the reduction per centage for the entire southern belt being placed at twenty and two-tenths. Jacksonville, May 18.- The program of the nation-wide campaign of the Protestant Episcopal church, under taken for the expansion of the activi ties of the church at home and abroad, will be presented to the convention of the diocese of Florida, which will be held in Jackosonville on Wednesday, May 21, by the Key. L. 2. Wood, of Charleston, S. C. Since the preliminary announcement of the plans of the board of mission of the Episcopal church for a great awakening to the problems of recon structaion, a large majority of the bishops of the church have pledged their support to the movement. The program has ,been presented to nu merous diocesan conventions In the last few weeks and in every case the responsen has been emphasized by the appointment of a campaign committee It is expected that such a committee will be organized in the diocese of Florida as a result of the Rev. Mr. Wood's address to the convention. The first step of such a campaign committee would be the compilation of the results of an accurate survey of the problems of this diocese These local needs would receive first con sideration according to the program proposed by the board of missions in co-operation with the board of religi ous education on social service and other . agencies of the church. Already much has been done to Start off the campaign in a way that will insure its success. Each diocese con vention that has been held thus far and was accessible has been address ed by leaders of the movement who have outlined its scope. Without ex ception these conventions became en thusiastic when they learned how great was the effort to be made, and they have been unanimous in agree ing to back the campiagn to the limit of their resources. The first of these conventions was that held in Pitts burgh on April 23, and the program outline, as presented by Rev. Robert W. Patton, D. D., national director of the campaign was listened to with pro found interest. At the conclusion of his speech a general sentiment for co operation was voiced and as a result a committee was appointed there and then to confer with the bishop of the diocese, the Rt. Rev. Cortlandt White head, D. D., for the purpose of select ing the best committee obtainable in the diocese to undertake the campaign That has been the characteristic at titude of all subsequent conventions and the leaders are certain of the solid backing of the clergy and the laity. Broadly speaking, the program of the campaign falls into four distinct purposes, which are: To bring the spiritual power of the church to bear upon the church's whole task; to ob tain and train an adequate number of recruits for Christian leadership, both cleerical and lay; to care, on a yearly basis for three years for the financial needs of all the general agencies of the church, and in connection with the proper authorities to care for the- financial needs of all the provinces. Cioceses and missionary districts of a missionary, religious-education or so cial service nature. That the needs of the church may be brought out i na clear, definite and accurate way, diocese by diocese, t national survey is being made. To this end, and for the other purposes of the campaign, a central committee office has been organized with the Rev. R. Bland Mitchell as its manager and With its head offices at 124 East 28tU Street, New York city. The office al ready has Seen organized and much o! the preliminary clerical work has been done. To a great! extent the campaign of fice will deal directly with the cam paign committee of each diocese, but where a province is organized suffi- ACROSS FROM SAN CARLOS PAHS ACROSS FROM SAN CARLOS SPECIAL HAT SALE One Hour Only TODAY Unrestricted choice of any hat in our store for hiuiANiim w BOWMOOT FOR WITH tKe unrest : an3 demoralization following tHe great war, with Bolshevism injecting its vile and deadly poison among the people of our country, we are face to face with the greatest menace we have had to contend with in a thousand years.
