Georgia Is Fourth
In Tale Production
New York, Vermont and Virginia
Lesd-Most Important Use Is
In Making Paper.

WASHINGTON. oct. 4.-Georgia,
according to a report of the United
state Geological Survey. is fourth In
the list of States where tale and
soapstone are produced. New York,
Vermont and Virginia lead. Mary
land is fifth.
The total marketed production Of
tale for 1912 was 1899 short tons,
valued at S1.097.4SS, a decided in
crease compared with the production
OF 1911; the output Of soapstone in
1912 was 25,s short tons, valued at
sos, $50.
BY far the most important use Of
tale IL in the manufacture Of paper
but there is a large demand for II
in the manufacture of rubber. An
other important use OF tale Is in siZ-
ing and bleaching cotton cloth. It
is also used largely in the manufac-
ture OF toilet powders and of paints,
particularly waterproof paints.
Soapstone lie used most extensively
in the manufacture OF laundry tubs

Of cooperative marketing IL is per-
tinent to observe that the rural banks
are capable Of initiating and doing
things comparatively with the farm
er and for the benefit Of both.
Work To Be Extended.
Since the rural bank is a fixed in
stitutiOn, II will continue TO have a
part to play in developing the agri-
cultural resources OF the country, II Is
important of course, that every ave-
nue. Of helpful service open to them
should be used.
After the fashion OF the TattnaG
County Bankers Association with ref
erence to raising work stock, a like
work can be done with reference to
beef production. dairying, variation OF
crops, pork production, trucking, etc.
The fact is, there is a world OF
power in the hands Of the rural banks
for reconstruCtinC agricultural activi-
ties. The progress Of the rural bank
Is involved. Why, then, should not
agriculture be one Of the chief studies
Of the banker?
The writer visited bank in Cuba,
Ala, and found suspended on the
wicker work of the counting room
samples Of new kinds Of crops and
new varieties that have been success
fully grown in the county. About
each OF the crops the banker was pre-
pared to talk intelligently and give ad-
vice. Pretty good way, that.
Since Southern rural bankers are
continually financing crops, does 1t
not naturally follow that the bankers
should be agricultural experts, at least
well informed agrlculturists. both for
their own protection and prosperity
and for the prosperity of the commu-

S10,010,000 Of
NEW MONEY IN
FRISCO PLAN
Assessment on Stock Part Of Re-
organization Scheme-Experts
Predict Strong Future.

NEW YORK, Oct 4.-~Insida"
sources declare an assessment OF con-
siderable size on all classes Of stock
Of the St Louis and San Francisco
Railroad Company will form part of
the reorganization plan.
While no definite scheme has been
drawn UP, Il is believed that the re-
organization will call for more than
310.000,000 OF new money. A large
assessment is needed because. unlike
most railroads, the Frisco's stock cap
9ea. $50 common, S4,9993, 465 first pre-
ferred and Sl5.9s9,s4 second pre-
ferred.
The assessment viii fall heavily
on the syndicate composed Of James
Campbell, p. F. YoaHum, and the
Hawiey estate, as they hold a grea;
part OF the stock. r. F. Yoakum re-
Gently confirmed the report that he
held about 10000 shares and James
Campbell, of st. Louis and New York
says he holds 10000 shares.
Experts who have investigated the
Frisco proper and its prospects have
submitted reports that It should have
an excellent future after the reorgan-
ization. An authority stated the ST.
Louis and San Francisco proper
earned a comfortable surplus for the
last fiscal year, ended June 30. after
allowing for all charges. The figures.
however, will not be made public fo-
some time.
In the reorganization of the Frisco,
the New Orleans, Texas and Mexico

system and brought about the re-
Ownership, will be Topped OF.

Grapefruit Crop
Half Normal Size
No Florida Grove Has the Burden il
Had Last Year-Bloom
Irregular.

MIAMI. FLA. Oct. 4.-There Is
probably not one grove in the State
of Florida which carries the amount
Of grapefruit it had last year, and
the majority have not to exceed so
per cent of the volume of fruit had
last year. The market price per box
for fruit on the trees is greater than
1t has been in the past history of this
State, and that bears out the state
ment regarding the small crop.
The irregularity Of the bloom
guarantees that at no time viii there
be glut of the market, as grapefruit
throughout the State will ripen at ir-
regular intervals. Early crop is way
short and buyers are finding that it
requires a great deal of energy to
get together carload lots.

TEXAN INVENTS PACKAGE
FOR SHIPPING FRESH FIGS

ALVIN. TEXAS, Oct. &C. w.
Benson, Of this city, has been exper-
imenting for some time on packages
which will carry green figs to the
Northern markets in good condition
The lack of such facilities has been
one Of the great drawbacks to biz
culture in Texas. Figs can be grown
in abundance here, but no matter
how carefully handled they turned
out poor travellers. Mr. Benson thinks
he has solved the problem. Two crates
of figs, which he shipped recently to
New York, sold for $40 at auction.

How Country Bankers Are Aiding
In Promoting Live Stock Raising
Heavy Drain of Money for Mules in atna County Leads Fnance
Refuse Loans Unless Farmers Agree Purchase Perchrons

For every colt raised In Georgia
there are 80 Georgians ready to buy
It.
According to the census report,
Georgia is leaking about 81 100000 a
month for work stock mules and
horses.
Horses and mules can be raised in
Georgia as cheaply and well As they
can be raised anywhere in the world.
Therefore, Georgia is throwing away
millions Of dollars annually on work
stock. quite uselessly. And Geor-
gia is not an exception.
The money that goes out of Georgia.
for live stock never comes back II
aCcfues TO the bank credit OF farmers
in Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, IL
linois Missouri and other stock rails
ing States.
Naturally the banker Of Georgia
does not like to see money leaving his
vicinity never TO return. Money Is the
life OF the bank. The more Of it the
local farmer can get and hold, the
better for the bank as well as for the
farmer.
Georgia bankers are becoming more
concerned than ever about the I'M
necessary outgo of money from the
State. the financial leakage Of the
Georgia ship Of state.
Since the success Of agriculture is
the basis Of banking success in Geor-
gia IL is natural that the bankers Of
the state should have set about
studying agricultural problems and
seeking expert advice, as they are
now doing.
Tattnall Bankers See Leak.
TAttnall County, Georgia, has nine
banks, wide awake banks, organized
into a county association for the pur-
pose Of cooperating to the end that
the county financial interests may be
built up.
Taking notice that there was an
unnecessary outgo of money from
their territory. they found among
others large loss for the purchase
of live stock
The plain truth of the business is,
the bankers found that they were
aiding and abetting the outgo. They
were digging channels for draining
the banks own resources by financing
the purchase OF live stock elsewhere,
when live stock could be grown in
that county as well as any place.
The other day these nine banks Of
Tattnall County sent out a ringing
letter TO leading farmers of the Coun-
ty calling "A halt on the Wasteful
policy. The message is virtually this.
See here, you have got to quit
buying only mules. II you want money
from us to buy work stock you are
welcome to Il, If you will buy Per
cheron mares. We want work stock
used here raised here. We intend to
stop this useless outgo of money"
The bankers of Tattnall County
propose TO see that "A stallion or stall
lions are available for starting the
home raising Of work animals.
To start something the bankers
called a meeting of farmers, invited
Professor Milton Jarngan. head OF
animal husbaudry Of the state Col
leEe Of Agriculture, TO address the
meeting. As "a result there was an
order for a carload of PerCheron
mares and two stations rounded up.
a permanent live stock association
was formed and thus at one gather
ing a dam was constructed to check
the annual outflow Of many thou
sands of dollars from that county.

Fall Flowing for
Wheat and Corn On
Area Seeded During September and
October Amounts to 3D.
072,0o0 Acres.

CHICAGO, oct. 4.-Fall blowing Is
nearly completed over practically the
entire winter wheat and corn grow
ing States. Taking the combined
winter wheat and rye acreage, for
which blowing is done in September
or earlier, the area seeded this fall
viii amount to 33.072. 900 acres. Plow-
ing of spring corn lands comes later
but comprises a considerable feature
of outdoor work made possible by
rains of September and October.
Minnesota is a new candidate for
admission To the corn belt. The State
has 2.000,0 600 acres and produces a
crop worth $4,000. 600. Live stock
production has become a leading in
dustry, and feeding capacity of the
State has been much enhanced the
past five years.
Early sown wheat in Argentina is
above ground and in some localities as
much as a foot high. Soil conditions
are highly favorable Corn planting
is general with prospects of larger
acreage.
Black Sea exports of wheat. which
last week from all Russian sources
were $3.50, 600 bushels, have reached
the best total of the season and are
expected to continue in large volume
until interruption of navigation by
winter.

Mares Instead Of Mules.
This is only the beginning Of a
revolution in one phase of agriculture
In Tattnall County II is now quite
certain that when a farmer goes to a
bank In that county asking for an ad-
vance Of money with which to buy
work stock, he will be asked why he
does not buy brood mares instead OF
mules.
The line Of argument which the
banker viii use viii be that the brood
mares viii do the work Of the farm
and at the same time foal a colt each
year This colt will save sending
money away for future work stock.
What the College OF Agriculture in
Georgia has done in demonstrating
that a grade Percheron mare can do
the work of a high-priced mule, side
by side in the same team, and foal a
colt that, when six months old, weigh
ed 700 pounds and sold for s162.50

", drove a bunch Of Percherons 40
miles to be present He had been
using and raising Percherons for flf-
teen years, and his testimony was that
the Percheron did more work than the
mule, chiefly because Of its greater
weight. The Percheron can pun the
plow deeper and haul heavier loads.

If We can once produce more feeds

South can consume, then there will be
some prospect for largely increasing
our livestock production, but as long
as practically every Southern State
buys feed for livestock, those who pro-
duce more feed than they need at

to sell it than to feed it to livestock.
We must produce the livestock feeds

How to Kill Flies.

Try as you may, you can't get all
the flies. Even the most careful and
cleanly householder will have too
many flies to risk having no screens
on his doors and windows. AS for the
urge majority of farmers, who are as
yet unwilling to take the pains to re-
move the manure weekly and trap or
poison the remaining flies, they will
have these pests literally by the thous-
ands.
Now, there may frequently be some
good excuse for not hauling out the
manure, or not trapping or poisoning
the flies, but ignorance, Incidence and
poverty combined are not enough to
excuse man for not screening his
windows and doors. No, it is not ex.
pensive to screen your house. 1t will
cost you from ten to 20 cents to tack
mosquito netting oyer the outside Of
each window frame. Is that expen.
sive? If you say it is, at what do you
value life, and health? Mosquito net
ting wilt last for year, and is really
better than wire screen, because the
little fibers protruding from the
threads make the meshes fine enough
to keep out mosquitoes as well as flies.
Ordinary wire screen has IA meshes to
the inch. 1t takes 1s mesh wire screen
to keep out the mosquitoes. So far as
expense is concerned, when we con-
slider the fyborne typhoid fever, and

to say died of summer complaint, in.
stead of fly complaint, we find that we
cannot afford not to screen our doors
