CONDITIONS
County Plugs Long Existing
Big Leak.
Atlanta Constitution Tells EditOriaIIyI
How Sumter Sets the Pace for All
Georgia in Raising at Home the
Products Required Upon the Farm.

The Times-Recorder published re-
Gently the fattering story of the sale
to Americus merchants of nearly six
thousand bales of hay produced upon
a Sumter county farm. 1t was the
greatest sale of hay, perhaps, ever
made by a Georgia farmer, and at
tracted widespread comment,
This story, like many others given
by the Times-Recorder, is directing at
tention to Sumter as the banner coun-
ty in South Georgia.
The Atlanta Constitution appreciat-
ed the thrift of the Sumter farmer who
could make and sell surplus of six
thousand bales fine hay and on yes
terday published in double column
form on it's editorial page the follow
ing story under the headline, Sumter
Hugs the Leak:
Sumter county is beginning to plus
a big leak in outgoing currency. Her
example is an excellent one for other
counties, in every portion of the state,
to study and follow
'Hay and corn are the materials with
which the gap is being closed. AT the
present rate, not many years will
elapse before the gap itself will eX-
ist only in history. :
"The story is told in the report that
just one big farm near Americus last
season produced 5000 bales of hay.
'It is expected to dispose of nearly
the entire product to the local market
at prices ranging from SIS to $40 a
ton
''The plantation in question is only
one instance, And hay is only part
of the crop. Sumter's production of
corn is climbing at rapid rate. Con-
ceding that the present ratio Increases
as it has in the past, it will not be
long before Sumter is a banner South
ern corn county
"The leak?
sit is the millions upon millions of
dollars sent out of Georgia and other
Southern states every year for corn
and hay, other feedstuffs and for
pork and beef. These large sums go
TO middle and far western states.
There is no reason why they
should. For Georgia cannot only pro-
duce all of the corn and feedstuGf
it consumes upon it's own acres, it can
as we'll raise all the wheat and the
pork and the beef, with eventually a
healthy surplus left for the export
trade.
Another thing
THE activity of Sumter coutny in
this respect has value from a unique
direction in that Sumter is thus anti
cipating the inevitable descent of the
boil weevil and by gradually turning
TO crops other than cotton, prepar-
ing to minimize the blackmail levied
by the greedy little Mexican bug.
what Sumter has done and is doing
can be duplicated by any other county
in the state, for hay and corn can
be produced practically in every por-
tion of Georgia
at is impossible to estimate the
sum total saved to Georgia, once the
Sumter plan becomes universal"

TO DISCUSS EXTRA RAIL-
ROAD FAIR QUESTION

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 19.-The
fifty-sixth annual convention of the
American Association Of General Pas
senger and Ticket Agents began its
sessions here today with Colonel Sam
uel Moody, passenger traffic manager
of the Pennsylvania railroad, presid-
ing. The convention will continue sew
eral days. One of the timely topics
to be discussed is the recommended
tion that railroad passengers be
charged extra for using high-class
equipment. 1t has been suggested
that quarter of a cent mile be
added to the price of ticket for a
passenger using an observation or a
parlor car. In support of the pro-
posal it is contended that the railroads
expend large amounts to furnish this
class of travellers fast train service,
luxurious surroundings, and special
attention of various kinds. The asso-
citation will thoroughly discuss the
