ILLUSTRATED BOOKLET
ON GEORGIA INDUSTRIES

Commissioner Sam c. Dunlap. of the
Georgia Bureau of Industries and Immi
grafton, has issued a handsome bookle
setting forth In admirable style the re-
sources of the state and the remarkable
progress which has been made by tn.
Empire State OF the South.
The text matter and Illustrations were
arranged BY Ed M. Hafer, Mr.. Dun
laps assistant, and display considerable
originality Handsome photographs of
various industries; press clippings indi-
cative of progress In Georgia, and ar
ticles setting forth many things Georgia
has done and can do, make the booklet
an extremely attractive and instructive
one. 1
An edition of 1900 copies was exhaust
ed at the Ohio Valley exposition in the
early fall of 1910, and nearly $4,000 Geor-
gia flags which accompany 1T were dis
tributed among the thousands of visit
ors to the Georgia exhibit, the material
for which was gathered, installed and at
tended during the exposition by Mr..
nafer and Mr.. Dunlap.
This bureau is the only organized eff
fort of it's character advertising the
state and working for its material adj
vancement. The Alabama transportation
lines had a similar bureau. under the
direction of Ross c. Smith, established
at theksame time-June. 1905. with head
quarters in Birmingham, and 1t is re-
markable fact that Georgia and Ala
BAN only of the strictly southeastern
states, gain an additional congressmn
under the 1910 census apportionment.
Georgia made, numerically, the largest
gain of the group and exceeds Alabama,
on a percentage basis, nearly per cent.

BRAZIL HAS REDUCED
ITS DUTY ON FLOUR

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Of great
Importance to American milling inter
ests is the concession of a 80 per cent
reduction in duty on American flour
imported into Brazil. This fact is just
reported to the state department by cz-
BILE. by Ambassador Dudley, at Rio, anc
follows reduction of 80 per cent in the
flour duty made several days. ago by
Brazil.
This reduction is confined to Ameri-
can flour and is not accorded to that
from other countries. Mr.. Dudley be-
lieves that the effect will be to ex-
tend the market for American flour
south of Pernambuco, where it does
not now go, even with the preferential
reduction of 90 per cent, because of the
superior geographical position of the
Argentine millers. Last year Ameri-
ca shipped to Brazil flour valued at
S2,105,0O0 supplying 80 per cent of the
trade north Of Pernambuco.
Brazil is. also according a special
reduction of 20 per cent in duties on
II other articles of American produc-
ton, in consequence of which American
exports to that country have more than
doubled since 1905, giving the United
States 1871 per cent of the foreign
trade of Brazil

Perhaps the most important feature in
building Waycross lies in the fact that
the farm lands adjoining and surround
ing the city have been rapidly developed.
No city can grow from country village
of less than 5000 citizens to modern
city of 1885, unless 1t be a manufactur-
ing center, or surrounded by good
agricultural country. and these lands
must be cultivated. While Waycross has
a number of manufactures, 1t depends
largely on the farmers for its trade.
In the development OF the farm lands
in Ware county. Geo. w. Deem is the
recognized leader and pioneer. 1t is gem
orally known that Senator Deem is the
best authority on farm lands in the
South He has devoted years of hard
work and expended thousands upon thou
sands OF dollars in the development OF
Ware County farm lands.
About twelve months ago Mr.. Deem cut
up 10000 acre tract of land lying west
of Waycross. into small farms and offer
ed 1t on easy payments to Industrious
farmers. This tract is known as Deem

DIX GIVES ADVICE

ALBANY, N Y, Jan. 1s.--Governor
Dix, in a statement addressed to the
New York State Agricultural society, an
nounces that he win encourage the teach
ing of scientific agriculture in high
schools and common schools throughout
the state. He expressed himself as
highly alive to the Importance of in
tensive agriculture. agitating feeding"
the soil and other modern methods. He
urged farmers to do away with the
great profit which the middleman at
present derives from farm products and
suggests that committees from fruit.

pointed to meet in this city and adopt
methods of delivery TO the consumer d.
rect from the producer to cut out the

these committees and have data prepared

WARE COUNTY OFFERS GREAT
OPPORTUNITIES TO FARMERS

and sales so rapid that the sale on this
tract closed October 1, 1910. Where virgin
forests stood year ago modern farm
houses, more than 100 in number, are
now seen. The farmers are all well
pleased. happy and contented. And why
shouldn't they be, when they can raise
three crops a year on their lands
These lands are fertile and productive.
While they are level. they are rolling
drainage. They are free OF stones and
rocks, which interfere with farming.
Deenwood Farms having been rapidly
sold and leaving still great demand
among farmers for more such land, SEN
ator Deem put on this fall another tract
of $1,000 acres, lying Immediately south
of Waycross, which is pronounced by
land experts to be the finest body of
colony lands for farming and trucking
ever offered In the South. The new tract
is called ''Deen Land Farms" 1t has
only been on the market two months. but
is being taken very rapidly. Inquiries
are pouring in from everywhere and 1t
is safe to predict the final sale of every
piece of this within few months.
When one compares the hills of some
sections with the level fertile soils of
South Georgia, he is forced to wonder
why every farmer does not own home
in the level country. In South Georgia
every foot of the land is cultivated and
none given up to terraces, hills or wash
outs.
Senator Deem win be glad to mail to
Journal readers a handsome little Booklet
describing farming in Ware County and
telling about their easy payment plan
by which they are assisting farmers TO
own their homes. When writing be sure

the scientific business efficiency commonly

Modern efficiency systems in business
have not only developed literature OF
their own, but many wideawake con-
Germs now make use of such literature
By tabulating indexing and filing every
article or illustration bearing upon some
particular process or product-all this be-
ing inspired by the efficiency engineer.
Some large concerns employ a man whose
sole duty 1t is to read every trade jour
nal. every technical paper or pamphlet
and every popular magazine, in order to
Gull therefrom articles or matter that
may prove of interest to the employees
and heads of the different departments,
who are thus kept In touch with what
is doing in their particular line. In an
other great manufacturing concern one
hundred copies of technical monthly

are simple yet all-embracing methods of
keeping the entire staff posted as to the

efficiency and marked acceleration of

Efficiency is the shibboleth of modern
business. Everything, men and machinery.
must be brought to the highest point OF
productivity with no let-down in quality.
Every man is alert to eliminate risk in
business so that each and every year will
show a profit To accomplish his il il i'm
perative that scientific safeguarding
methods must be maintained in Office and
factory, or introduced where they do not
already exist Hence new profession
has sprung into being within the last
decade-that of the efficiency engineer or
business doctor.
In one of the packing rooms OF a whole
sale candy concern. where the choicest
candies were boxed by hnad an efficiency
engineer noticed girl reputed to be the
fastest packer on that floor. The girls
motions were almost lightning-like and
machine-hke In their rhythmic regularity.
But after watching her for some minutes
the expert detected at least six unneces-
sary motions to the filling of every box.
He pointed out where she might save her
strength and increase her efficiency by
eliminating the needless employment OF
arms and hands, with the result that that
particular girls output was increased by
a full gross per day.
A certain building contract called for
the laying OF several million bricks and
the employment OF a large force of brick
layers. There was also time contract

noticed that when the wall was about
