RECEIVFG pRESENT
FROM HIS employees
James Wilson Presented Win
Bust of Himself

Washington, D. c., March IA life
sized bust of himself will tend to re-
mind James Wilson, retiring secretary
of agriculture, of his sixteen years
service in that department when he
returns to his home in Iowa. The bust.
replica of which will be placed in
the department, was presented to Mr..
Wilson last night in the national mu,
scum by the employees of the depart
ment in the presence of Secretary Of
State BRYAN and Secretary of Agricul-
ture Houston and several hundred of
the men and women who have worked
with the retiring secretary during
many of the years he has served the
department.
In his address to his former Co
workers MIR. Wilson said he appreciat-
ed the thought of those who wished @

affection, and declared he was return

spot in his heart for all of them AMI

At the close of Mr.. Wilson's speech
he held a conference with Secretar,
Bryan and Secretary Houston, in the
course of which Mr.. Bryan compll.

CATTLE RAISING IN GEORGIA
ATLANTA Journal.)

A thrifty farmer in Whitfield couu-
ty, SO the story goes, is planning to
convert his land into a sheep and cat
tie ranch. He will naturally continue
to plant corn and kindred food pro-
ducts. But the raising of livestock,
which heretofore has been a minor in
terest in most parts of Georgia, viii
be his chief concern.
This is an interesting example OF
the new agricultural spirit that is
astir throughout the state. The old
tyranny of the one-crop idea crumble-
ing. The varied uses to which the
soil can be turned are being more and
more vitality realized. The wealth OF
profitable industries which a genial
climate and richly stored earth make
possible is being discovered.
1t was comparatively few years
ago when peach growing was under
taken on an extensive scale In Geo.
gia; the beginning of the apple indus.
try is still more recent Yet, hence
forth one OF the states most import
ant enterprises will lie in its orchards
Pecan groves, which not a great
while ago were limited to a few tree
lovers, are now spreading over thous-
ands of acres and are yielding their
owners millions of dollars. The cul-
tivation of berries and other table del
icacies is growing apace. Especially
marked i'll South Georgia is the devel-
oEment of truck gardening. Farmers
are organizing with businesslike meth.

and the marketing of their products
Emphasis is placed today upon the
production of food stuffs rather than
upon cotton; and though this move
ment is still In its early stages, it is
rapidly advancing and winning re.
cruits.

CLEANUP DAY Is
PLANNED FOR Triton
Ladies Are Backing The
Plan

Triton, March 7.-Clean-up Dav.
Monday, March 10, will receive more
than passing notice in Triton.
Mayor Banks has issued a proclama-
Ton requiring every property owner
to remove all trash and rubbish from
premises or vacant lots on or before
that day, and the ladies of the Civic
Improvement association have request
ed every citizen to devote the day t,
making Triton a clean town.

mittee, has turned the street force ana

day and as long thereafter as they con-
slider necessary.
Volunteers have been called for to

ments and devote the day to cleaning
up. The suggestion has also been
made that the faculty and pupils OF
the public schools join the clean up
brigade in the afternoon, which will
give it an additional force of about
four hundred.
