DOTHAN PLANS FOR FARMERS MEETING Prominent Agriculturalists From All Over South to
 Convene April 4

Dothan, March 29.-(Special.) )-Plans for
 a big farmers meeting to be held here
 Saturday. April {. at which prominent
 agriculturists from all over the south
 will be present and take part rapidly are
 assuming definite shape Among those
 who are expected to be on the pro-
 gramme and who have sent favorable
 replies to invitations extended them are
 J. F. Jackson, T. c. Chastian and .;.
 A. Winslow of the Central of Georgia
 Wilbur Mccoy and others of the Coast
 Line; John w. Greer, secretary of the
 Moultrie Chamber of Commerce; A. D.
 Whitehead. United States district farm
 demonstration agent; J. E. Carter of the
 Atlanta and St. Andrews Bay railroad and others.
 The meeting Is being fostered by the Chamber of Commerce and it is planned to have lectures on diversified farming, marketing and other subjects of import ance to the farmers of this section used to speak of as the "empire-like southwest" was an inevitable selection of the committee, as was San Francisco. whose district will probably include the entire Pacific slope.
 A Perplex1ng Problem
 Whether New Orleans or Atlanta is to be named as a reserve city Is thought
 here to be perplexing the organization committee. Each city has demonstrated to the committee it's commercial and financial importance Atlanta probably reflects to considerable extent the great | manufacturing industries of which Bir- mingham is the center On the other hand New Orleans is unquestionably to
 have great development after the Panama canal is opened to navigation.
 The committee must have been per plexed when considering whether Wash ington, Richmond or Baltiomre should be selected as a reserve city. There were many strong arguments in favor of Bal tmore It's financial and commercial re- lations with the south are large and are increasing. It is one of the greatest of American seaports. On the other hand Washington is gaining commercial infiu- ence, especially in the south, and more- over the city is the political capital of the United States, and is to be the home of the federal reserve board. The proba- bilities are that 10 or 15 years ago. were | 1t necessary to make the choice of re- serve city then. Baltimore would have been selected instead of Washington.

 of the federal reserve board, who by the
 law must be named by him. The impress sion here is that early in April the recom- | mcndations of Secretary McAdoos com mittee will have been submitted to the l President so that he can thereby be guid- ed when making selection of the five members of the federal reserve. board who, with the ex-officio members, will constitute the entire bses
