increase the attractiyeness of country
life as compared 10 that in the cities.
Il there does come a general back-to-
the-land movement as a result of the
tariff law the Democratic party is eN-
pected to enact. there is no question
that Georgia viii receive very great
benefit from it. Her many thousands
OF acres OF fine farming land awaiting
cultivation and her fine climate may
be expected of themselves to be in
ducement enough TO increase the tide
of settlers that is now flowing in th.s
direction.
The outlook for even more rapid
growth in Georgia in the next few
years is decidedly promising. Her
advantages are becoming more widely
known among the Northern and Wes-
tern states. 1t is safe prediction
that her growth during the last ten
years will be eclipsed by that during
the next decade. But Georgia can, h.
her own efforts, greatly increase her
attractiyeness in the eyes of prospec-
tive settlers.
One way to do that is by continuing
constantly to improve the rural
schools. 1t is a very healthful sign
that the local taxation idea for pro-
viding for school improvement in ad-
dition to what the state can provide, IS
growing very rapidly. 1t has very OF
ten happened that families have de-
serted the country because their chill
dren could get better education in the
cities. The National Council of Edu,
cation, at Philadelphia recently, con-
sidered the problems of rural school
improvement, recognizing that good
schools are strong anchor to hold the
rural population back from the cities
Georgia must make her rural schools
. weighty argument to be used in
drawing settlers to her.

MATCHING CHICKENS BY WHOLE,
SALE

(From the Technical World)
There is now in operation at Port
| O'Connor, Texas, a machine that is
capable of turning out chicken every
twelve seconds for twenty-four hours
day, and for three hundred and sixty
five days in a year. This mammoth
hatcher is the third of its type built by
the inventor, who was formerly Il
poultry expert for the government. 1t
is the second largest Matching estah-
lishment in the world, being Slightly
exceeded in capacity by hatchery at
Petaluma, California, which hollis
10000 eggs as against 10000 in the
Texas machine.
| Perhaps the most remarkable feature
of this plant is the fact that all the
eggs, together with room for Gambling,
chick packing, and all engines, fans
and equipment, occupy but a single
floor, 16 by so feet. Furnished with
common incubators, such a room would
have just about the same capacity il
three weeks as this plant has in sin
gle day.
This wonderful economy of space
and cost is attained by packing the eggs
in superimposed trays like the type
cases III a printers case rack, or the
trays in a fruit dryer. This idea has
been tried before, but was not sue
cess on account of the hot air rising
In the present instance, this difficulty
is overcome by forcing a, continual
current of air from a centrifugal fan
through the Matching chamber, which
serves to keep it at an even tempera
ture throughout. While this is quite
!, an item of expense, and would not pay
with small machine, yet in a big
plant it is paid for several times over
by the saving if the duplication of the
small machines, as we'll as by the
economy of the fuel and labor
: One of the unique improvements III
the Texas plant is turning system
by which compartments holding 10,00g
eggs are swung on pivot and the
eggs turned by inverting the entire
! compartment. This enables one man
} to turn 100000 eggs in less than two
r minutes. These eggs are ventilated
and maintained at an aoOal tamnaT-l
ture by an eight hundred pound cen
trfugal fan, requiring four horsepower
10 operate it, and the temperature Is
regulated to a tenth of one degree
while water sprays regulate the mois-
ture to similar nicely.
The eggs are not cooled from the
time they enter the hatchery until they
, leave.

THE RAILROADS AND FARMING
There Should Be Greater Cooperation
Between the Two

hetWeen the Two
When the Department of Agricul-
ture was created, a great many per-
sons wondered what on earth il could
10 toward improving living conditions
or prosperity, There was the same
speculation when the Department Of
Commerce and Labor was created. and
more recently when the department
was split into two sections, one deal
( ing with commerce and the other deal
ing with labor.
Possibly there are just as many per-
sons who wanted to know what the
division of markets, recently created
by Congress as part of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. could achieve GA
behalf Of the farmer or the ultimate
consumer, who is generally forgotten
after election day.
The division of markets. however,
4 has its work cut out for it. In an ad-
dress read at the farm credits confer
ence. held in Chicago b F. Yoakum,
chairman of the Frisco Lines, dhose
educational work was largely respon-
sible for the marketing bill introduced
/ by Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
explained that agriculture and trans
iportation have laid the foundation
which has made this the greatest and
most powerful nation in the world
Since 1905 our population has in
creased 16 per cent. The value of
farm products, under the fostering in
fiuence of the Department of Agricul.
ture, was 81 per cent more in 1912
than in 1905, while railroad construc-
ton was 40 per cent less. Mr.. Yoakum
pointed out that:
There are now not more than 1000
miles of new railroad under construc-
ton. 1t would require the construc-
ton og 10000 miles of additional
railroad to furnish the same transpor-
tation facilities west of the Mississippi
River that here are east of it, on the
basis of area. That great stretch Of
rich country cannot grow as it should
on 1000 miles per annum of newly
built railroad"
Encouragement of the railroads in
the United States has virtually ceased.
The government formerly encouraged
arid plains. but this is done no longer,
Instead, every effort of the railroads
toward extension is scrutinized with
suspicion. Their wage scale is con-
stantly going higher, but their rates
are kept down. This is the chief rea-
son why the railroads have not been
keeping up with the increased value of
farm products. So
| And yet the country is going ahead.
We are solving our problems one by
one. 1t is true, as Mr.. Yoakum says
that the waste in crops, due to bad
roads and poor shipping facilities
amounts to five times the sum col
! lected from tariff duties, but the par
eel post, the improvement of public
highways, which is being fostered by
the government, and the new division
Of markets, which will inform the
farmer how to sell his crops to, his
best advantage, are steps toward the
ultimate remedy. A more encouraging
attitude toward the railroads is also
necessary, but that will come when
the present wave Of restriction gives
way to a more constructive policy all
along the line.

THE HEART OF THE NATTER

1t cannot be denied that he great
ness and permanence of a nations lie
depend upon the soundness and pro-
gress of its country citizenry The}
are the vital member of the body po>
litic and of the general life of the ma
ton. History has more than once
shown the vital truth of Goldsmith 5
observation:
"Ill fares the land to fastening ills a
prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and men
decay.
Princes and lords may flourish or may
fade
A breath may take them, as breath
has made;
But bold peasantry, their country's
pride,
When once destroyed, can never be
supplied"
A back-to-the-l land movement IN
Georgia should accomplish wonderful
good for the life of the people of the
state. In this connection the Savannah
News makes the following timely COM
ment:
One result that many people believe
will follow legislation carrying Dem.
ocratic policies into effect will be {
checking the flow of population tC
the cities and a consequent increasc
in rural population. The high pre-
MUM put upon manufacturing by tht
protective tariff has been the means
of building up the big cities at the ex
rense of the rural districts, the pro
ducts of which have had little or NJ
tariff protection. A reversal of thes
conditions, or a tariff that will dea
more nearly equally with farm ant
factory may be expected, therefore, t
aid the rural districts to increase thei
population at a more rapid rate thai
in the last few decades.
During the last census period, 1870
to 1910, city population increased ga.
per cent and rural population increas
ed only Ill per cent In New Englan,
and the East North Central states
which include many large cities, Their
was an actual decrease of populatio.
III the country districts. In the MIDI
Atlantic division OF states, including
New York, New Jersey and Pennsyi
Vania, the rural populations increas,
was only 81 per cent. while the citi"
grew 80 per cent These sections hay,
been most highly favored by the pres
ent tariff.
u If that law has operated to MAX,
city life more attractive, then a tar'e
that would not discriminate agains
farm products would be expected. :;
