AGGIES LOSE GAME
TO Triton Il TO 6

Monday afternoon Glenn Colby's
Aggies were handed a large-sized lem
on of defeat II to by the Triton Ag-
gies. The game was a series of touch
downs by the visitors as shown by
the score.
The visiting crown played rings
around the local lads and ran up the
score at will. In the first half of the
game Sc points were amassed while
the Americas Aggies were scoreless.
The fact that the local Aggies are
still a green bunch and that they are
still learning new things every day
robs the defeat of much of its bitter
ness. The Aggies fought their su-
superior opponents every inch of the
way and the fact that trick plays and
superior knowledge of the game de-
feated them is no disgrace.
The first two quarters defy descrip-
ton. A series of long forward passes
followed by some nicely engineered
end runs by Ferguson and some var
sity interference piled up the larger
part of the score in this half. The
first touchdown Triton registered came

COMMISSIONER J.E.PRICE
WRITES OF DIVERSIFIED
CROPS FOR EMPIRE STATE
By J. %. Price, Commissioner of Ag-
riculture.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 28.-~Strenous
and Immediate action by the farmers,
bankers, railroad men, brokers, ware
housemen and commercial organiza-
tons is necessary and imperative to
change Georgia from a one-crop state
to a state producing and marketing on
a large scale wheat, corn, oats, hogs
and cattle.
In other words, there is no sense in
talking of large diversified crops and
extensive livestock raising unless fac
ilfties are provided for handling and
marketing the new crop and the stock.
Georgia farmers have heard that
wheat grows here as abundantly as in
any state in the West; they have been
told often how fine cattle can be raised
here more cheapIy than in the West;
they have heard time and again how
Georgia could put a chinese-wall
around herself and live inside the
wall. All Of these possibilities have
been dweIt upon before; what we
want to do now is to get down to ac-
Qualities.
There are now and have been for
years past, warehouses in every town
in Georgia to which farmer can &C
in the spring of the year and borrow
money on his growing crop. What is
the crop? Grain? No-Cotton ant
more cotton. Each year he increases
his crop, and borrows money on the
increase for supplies and necessities
Cotton has represented to him money
food, drink, clothing, amusements, ev-
erything.

amount of cotton; he would not think
of sending to Texas for it. Let us make
that true of wheat and other grains;
let US establish many grain markets in
Georgia where the broker, next spring,
can buy any number of carloads at d
moments notice.
These changes, sweeping as they
are, must be brought about at once, so
that farmers will be encouraged to
plant at once wheat and other grains
Decades have been spent in perfect
ing cotton farming in Georgia. Methods
of planting, of growing, of picking, Of
ginning, of selling, of transportation
have all been worked out so that
growing and selling cotton is the
easiest thing the Georgia farmer has
done up to the present time. E.
Abandoning these well-known paths,
Georgia must, today, by supreme eff
fort, devise and adopt methods for
growing products other than cotton.
The land is here; it is up to the Geor-
gia men to do the rest

thinking of running their cotton farm
and raising cotton for another year,
my advice is to buy cotton now and, if
you won't raise grain and livestock, to
sit down and do nothing for year for
you cannot possibly raise cotton as
cheap as you can buy it now; it would
be more profitable to mortgage your
farm now and pay interest for money
to buy cotton with at the present
prices than to mortgage it next spring
to raise cotton next year.

Grain Warehouses.

What | want to see now is this:
grain warehouses all over the state,
conducted like cotton warehouses
have been in the past, with adequate
arrangements for handling grain in
large quantities. They should be con-
Quoted so that the farmer can realize
now that, when the time of the year
comes, and he harVests his crop of
grain, he can load up his wagon with
grain, drive to the warehouse, and get
a small advance on his crop, just as he
did with cotton. The grain can stay in
the warehouse until the farmer gets
his proper price for it just as he did
with cotton.
Now, fellow citizens, while I think
we have rightly spent our energies in
discouraging the planting of more cot
ton and urging the planting of more
grain, let's go further than that-let's
all get our heads together now and ar
range to find a market for all surplus
grain raised.
Someone will say that he can sell
everything he raises right here in
Georgia | agree with him. fully
agree that everybody in the state would
prefer to buy home stuff instead of
foreign produce, but we must arrange
things so that this buyer can buy
home produce when he wants it.
Carloads.
Today a wholesale grain merchant
in Atlanta or any other large town who
wants to buy carloads of grain knows
that he can buy any number from the
West and that they will be shipped at
once. He would rather buy carloads
of Georgia grain, but he knows of no
place where he can put in large ord
er and be sure of prompt fulfilment.
So he orders from the West.
We must change this If we expect to

Gives Up Secretaryship of Clarksdale,
Miss, Progressive Club to Accept
New 81. 500 a Year Position.

The following item from the
CIarksdaIe (Miss) Register will be
of interest to the many friends of
Mr.. Rufus Jones in Dawson;
Secretary Rufus Jones of the Pro-
gressive Club called a special meet
inc of his directors early this after
noon and rendered his resignation as
secretary. to take effect February 1st.
Mr.. Jones stated that he had closed

Miss. The directors accepted Mr..
Jones resignation and appointed a

buttons of 'egret.
Mr.. Jones record for the past
wear is interesting. A year ago he
was secretary of the Business Mems
Club at Corinth at a salary of $1,000.
He accepted the secretaryship in
Clarksdale at salary of $2,40O, and
now he returns to Corinth at guar
anteed salary of $4,000 for the next
five years.
"Mr. Jones has served as secretary
of the Progressive Club here for the
past 10 months or more and his work
has not only given satisfaction, but
we consider him the best promoter
in this line of work we have ever
seen. He is very energetic, unusual
ly intelligent and resourceful and
one of the most faithful workers in
the state He has only been in this
city for a short period, but he has
made his presence known by the good
work accomplished in behalf of the
Progressive Club and will be greatly
missed. He is man, in fact, that
could fill almost any position in bus
mess life, and no doubt will give a
good account of himself in his new
work. The Register esteems him
highly, and will regret to see him
depart. However, we wish him we'll
and feel sure that he will make good,
Mr.. Jones was for a number of
years a successful newspaper man,
having been connected with some of
the largest dailies in responsible po-
sitions we have in the Southland. He
served as managing editor for the
Montgomery Advertiser for some
time; was telegraph editor on the
Macon Telegraph; telegraph editor
of the Mobile Register, and held re-
sponsible positions on other large
Southern dailies. We predict for Mr..
Jones much success in his new posi-
ton, and The Register wishes him
the best of luck"
