w THITEHAEt4 street has grown
w to the bursting point and
an extension of the city's re-
tail shopping district is absolutely
necessary. This is the opinion OF
store officials who have been putting
up many years with badly Cramped
quarters. In fact, extensions have al
ready started, and if present signs
count for aught. Broad street will
be better five years from now than
the most Caring -soothsayer dares
predict.
Among improvements which show
the trend westward from Whitehall
are the handsome new addition of the
Dawson PaXon Stokes Company,
shown in the illustration, and the ad-
dition of the S. Ii. Kress Company in
the rear of No. 80 Whitehall, now
being built at a cost of $40 900. The
future holds the office building which
the Calhouns will erect at the north
east corner of Broad and West Ala
bama streets, and there are other
extensions which will he made to
transform Broad street into a lively
retail shopping section.
When the Bleclley plaza plan is
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-10-26

realized and south and north sides of
the city are connected, say the store
men, Broad will be almost as good
as Whitehall itself. Forsyth street,
now thoroughly respectable thor
oughfare, is farther westward and
is thriving.
I'VE never would have put big
store on South Broad if we had not
thought the future of that street
was assured" declared Beaumont
Dawson, of the DAWSON Paxon-
Stokes Company The Whitehall
business was so heavy that an extern
sion was necessary. When the con-
gested area of the local shopping
district is considered. it is no wonder
that tenants on Whitehall are be-
ginning to reach out for more room
Just let the plaza plan be realized
and Broad street will come into it's
own"
II. w Smith, manager of the Kress
store at No. 80 Whitehall, declared
that a block off Whitehall was bet
ter than half a mile to the north
according to the calculation of the
shopper, and that his firm expected
eventually almost as good business
on Broad street as on Whitehall.

LARGE INCREASE
IN CLOVER SALES
Concern Sells 1900 Pounds in
1918, and 100 in 19l2-Back
to Farm Trend.

People are evidently getting back to
the farm faster than heretofore, ac-
cording to officials of Mcmillan
Bros. Seed Store. Twenty times as
much clover, alfalfa, vetches and
srains-wheat, rye, oats, barley and
corn-are being planted than we're
planted few years ago. This con-
Germ sold 100 pounds of burr clover
last year, and to date in 1913 has sold
2,700 pounds, and orders still are COM
ing in.
The increase Is attributed to the
work which newspapers and trade
journals have exerted in urging peo-
pie to get back to the farm and farm
ing. Winter gardens are now being
cultivated extensively.
Everything in the seed store line is
selling well, canary birds included.
Bulbs are not hit so hard by the tar
iff, but the Mcmillan Bros shipment
came early, and the scale of prices
was fixed before the, schedules went
into effect, so it will he next year be-
fore the consumer feels the reduction.

idea of the commission mercha nts$
position in handling produce We use
cold storage, but only to save our
goods, not to corner the market and
extort high prices. 1t is to the adj
vantage of the dealer to get his goods
off his hands as quickly as possible,
and to put prices on them that will
move them. Otherwise we have car
loads Of spoiled grapefruit, cranber-
ries lettuce, celery, poultry and the
like.
Demand Can't Be Estimated.
Produce men can estimate the siad
of crops, but they can never estimate
what the demand is going to be. The
demand is very variable. The rich
mans table keeps up about the same,
but when fruits and poultry becoma
high the poor man must use substiI
tutes at a lower price. To reduce the
margin between what a man makes
and what he requires. to give him e
fair living is largely the work of the
dealer. Too many people want to live

and have fair surplus left.
There will probably be no change
in the price of poultry. CranberrtaS
are plentiful and cheap. Turkeys
however. will be higher, possibly
IL Ia to 15 per cent. People holding
apples will probably be able to get
TOP prices until Christmas, when they
will unload at lower prices. This will
be true II the price is not forced down
earlier through the failure to eaa
many apples and indications are than
the market this year will not be

Gloomy Outlook for Consumer
In Seasons FOOdStuff Prices;
Holiday Dinner More Costly
Apples and Grapefruit Higher While Poultry
Marks Time-Things to Cost More Generally.
Produce Man Defends His Clan

r TITLE comfort for the consumer
in his quest OF lower prices for
the necessities of life is seen by
M. d. Thompson, of the Williams
Thompson Company, Broad street
commission merchants. Prices for
things that go on the poor mans table
Will be little higher than they were
last year. Short crops in certain lines
and an unusually heavy demand for
them are assigned as the cause.
The crop of eating apples Is 25 to
30 per cent short, and the grapefruit
crop is reduced to so per cent. causing
generally higher prices Apples will
be S. a barrel to the retailer and 65 to
rs cents a peck to the consumer.
Cooking apples are also higher. Some
consolation Is promised In the lower
prices of Florida oranges. A bumper
crop is reported, and this, Mr.. Thomp-
son says, will enable the common
people to save. If oranges are eaten
plentifully rather than apples and
grapefruit, the laboring man can get
the benefit, unless he eats so many
oranges that he forces up the price
again. Then he can switch to apples
and grapefruit, which have gone down
in the meantime, and reap the benefit
at both ends.
Prices Up, Then Down.
At least. that is the economics OF IL,
whether the scheme works out or not
Mr.. Thompson asserts that price
scales shift like bags of sand in the
hull of a rocking ship; now they are
on this side and now on the other,
first up and then down, depending on
the movement of the vessel.
Produce men don't regulate these
shifts, according to Mr.. Thompson.
You can't run a trust in a market
of perishable goods. Listen:
THE public has a very erroneous

MEN WHO HAVE CREDIT

Credit is a great asset for farm ing, where it is so important to have capital. Of course those who have the cash to improve their farms are fortunate, for them they can get interest on the investment as we'll as profit in greater production. But there are many who have have not the capital, but whose intelligence and experience are such that in- vestment in equipment would greatly increase the income and provide better profits. It is for this latter class that sytem of rural credits is needed.
 But character is the best se- curity for credit. There are many men whose property af- lords only a small portion of the security for ,ans they are able to secure and for capital that they use profitably. It is the mans character. after all, that

That is enough said. Hay brings more money here than there. Try a hay crop, There is not much labor or expense in mak- ing a hay crop.
 Potatoes grow we'll and profit ably in Arkansas. Both kinds do. They are money makers Try them. Broom corn is an- other good crop for Arkansas. A farmer friend told me he had twenty acres in this year and made twenty tons. It is worth about $200. % per ton. That is not load. Peanuts will make money for the grower almost every time in Arkansas. The peanut as a crop will outstrip cotton anywhere south of Arkan- sas river, except in the bottom buckshot soil. Study up on the peanut. It will pay you.
 Sunflowers make a good crop. They will yield as high as two thousand pounds of seed to the acre, and the seed will bring from five to eight cents pound. Not a bad crop at all. Burr clover is a good crop in Arkansas. It makes a fine winter pasture, and will yield more than fifty bushels of seed to the acre. and the seed are worth $50 a bushel. That beats cotton long ways.
 Popcorn will grow we'll in Ark ansas. There is always a good market for it, and it beats cot ton. Cow peas. properly plant ed and cultivated will make more money for the farmer than a cot ton crop at less expense.

For this reason 1 want to mention a few.

 Young men who begin farm. ing first for themselves should be very careful about their responsi bility. Cofidence of business men, especially bankers, is nigh ly desirable; it is indispensable in progressive agriculture where farmers buy in quantity and ad- vertise their products. And this kind of agriculture offers more inducement to young men than any other.
