PRACTICE AND THEORY.
No doubt Woodrow Wilson has
found by this time that being Presi-

nations nosing around our borders
and a million hungry pie hunters
besieging Washington, is not quite
as peaceful a job as writing books

SATISFACTION FOR ALL?
The Albany Herald is of the opin-

seems to think that both sides ought

TO ADVISE FARMERS
TO DIVERSITY CROPS
Department Of Agriculture to
Issue Bulletin

A bulletin will be issued by the de-
partment Of agriculture at an early
, date on crop Investigation. The book
let has been compiled by the heads O
the different branches of the depart
ment and is specially designed to pre-
pare the farmers of the state for the
invasion of the boil weevil.
Attention is called to a number Of
crops which can be raised profitably IL
Georgia which have so far been very
much neglected by farmers.
IT is shown among other things, that
great profit may be made from the
growing of oats. Wheat is another
cereal, formerly extensively grown in
Georgia, which is now almost alto
gether neglected. Corn, of course, is
dwelt upon, but there has been much
written recently about the growing 0:
corn and strong impetus given to
that industry.
Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen, of Americas,
state veterinarian, contributes about
fifteen pages on the subject Of stock
raising. 1t is DR.. Bahnsen's opinion
that Georgia is better fitted by nature
for stock raising than almost any other
Southern state. There is no reason,
according to him, why Georgia should
not be the equal Of New York as 4
dairy state and of Illinois and Indiana
as beef raising states.
All that is necessary is that the
farmers of the state arouse themselves
to the fact that as much money can be
made in cattle raising as motion.
There is also a great future in Geor-
gia for the production of hogs. Meat
can be raised in Georgia cheaper than
it can in the middle west. There should
be abattoirs in all of leading cities
and the tine will come when Atlanta
should rival as packing house center
Chicago and Kansas City.

With Farmers.
Our people ought to learn to do
as they do in Europe. In France, for
instance, people go to the country to
spend their summer vacation, and o
part of their thought in going is 10
get into direct touch with the farmer
and find out then and there the kind,
quantity and quality of farm produce
which they can get. They get to
know the farmer and he gets to know
them. They are then able to trust
each other and depend on each other,
Here our people are not matter-of-fact
enough. They want to telephone for
everything they need. People in other
countries are willing to go to some
trouble to get good and cheap food and
in consequence they get what they arc
after"

WANTS LOWER SUGAR TARIFF
American Refining Company at House
Hearing Seeks Cut in Present
Rates-Cuban Treaty Menaced.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE American
Sugar Refining company went on rec
ord at the hearing before the house
ways and means committee Wednes-
day in favor Of reduced tariff on
sugar, retention OF the small diheren-
tial duty on refined sugar. IF protec-
ton is to be given to any industry,
and the continuation OF the present
color standard as the most practic-
able distinction between raw and re.
fined sugars for customs house
classifications.
1t opposed the abolition Of all duty
on sugar on the ground that it would
destroy at once one Of the largest
sources of revenue.
The American company's position
was presented by Edwin F. Atkins.
vice-president and acting head OF the
company, who was accompanied by
several other officials.
Free sugar, while present produc-
tion is maintained" he said, would
drop prices here so low as to destroy
the Louisiana industry, the beet sugar
industry, particularly east of the Mis-
sissippi river, would depress Porto
Rico and Philippine sugars far below
their production cost, and make Ha-
waiian production Improbable, thus
largely curtailing our present sources
of supply"

WILSON APPEALS AND WARNS
IN CHICAGO SPEECH.
Declares Public Good Should Be Put
Above Private Aeerandizement-
Says Monopoly Must End.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-Speakiug at
banquet given by the Commercial
club of Chicago Saturday night, Wood
row Wilson, the president-elect, de-
livered an earnest appeal and warn
ing to the business men OF the cOun-
try.
The business men Of the country
were told bluntly that the peaceable
success of the new administration de-
pended on their cooperation. and that
without it the president would fight
for victory. They also were told
that no man who did not put the pub
lie good above private aggrandiZe-
ment-be he politician, merchant, or
personal friend-could have influence
with or part in the administration.
-Four lines Of Mr.. Wilson's coming
endeavor were set forth. They may
be summarized as follows:
The country must husband and ad-
| minister, not exploit, it's common re-
sources for the common welfare, with
the idea of conservation-not reser-
walton.
The raw material of the country
must be at the disposal Of every one

Credit must be at the disposal Of

Archibald on the first count, which
had TO do with the coercion Of the
Erie railroad to enter into a contract
with him for the purchase Of culm
