MEN HEAR
Speakers Entertain Land Brokers
at Luncheon With Variety Of
Live Topics,

Real estate dealers Saturday were
telling each other that the luncheon
and business session held Friday af-
ternoon at the Hotel Ansley was one
of the most profitable and encour-
aging ever given by the Atlanta Real
Estate Board.
Following the luncheon, at which
nearly fifty were present, President
Harris G. White called the business
meeting to order, introducing Walter
Dunson, loan expert of Dunson &
Gay, who reported that more loans
have been accepted by the big in
surance companies and other loan
firms within the last 80 days than
during the preceding several months
an dthat more people now are offering
money to borrowers than in the last
six months.
Eugene $. Kelly, of the Charles p
Glover Realty Company, explained the
income tax as it affects land owners
and agents. stating that tenants pay
ing more than $4,000 a year in rent
were obliged to withhold the land
lords income tax and pay the revenue
collector. and that corporations hold
ing stock in other corporations would
be double taxed.
Forrest Adair told the realty men
something of the magnitude of the
coming Shrine meeting. He stated
that the parade would extend from
Alabama street to Brookwood and
that there would be trouble in map
ping the course of the parade to keep
it from running over itself. Mr..
Adair also touched on the annual
raise in realty assessments, declaring
that they were becoming so burden
some as to injure the city, rather
than aid it,
w. II. S. Hamilton, of the Decatur
Board of Trade, told of progress at
Decatur, calling it the ideal suburb of
Atlanta. He also advocated strongly
the proposed Granite Highway" from
Atlanta to Stone Mountain
Ii. w. Dillin, of the Dillin- Morris
Co, was the host of the occasion.

FARM DYNAMITE
TEST SUCCESSFUL

George f. Wilkes, one Of the best
known dynamiting experts in the
country left Atlanta Saturday after
a tour Of Southern cities predicting
wonderful progress for Georgia farm
ers as a result of the introduction Of
dynamite in subsoiling.
Mr.. Wilkes who represented the
Dupont Powder Company, but will
shortly take up Independent work,
gave a convincing demonstration uf
the effectiveness of dynamite as first
aid to the farmer at Colonel Wills
e. Ragan's farm. He has made SINH
lar demonstration in many cities and
is confident that Georgia farmers soon
will awaken to the enormous posi-
bilities of the experiment.
The process is so simple and lOgi-
cal that one grasps the ideG instantly
said Mr.. Wilkes. IN the demonstra-
ton of Colonel Ragan's place near
Decatur, stumps were blown out or
the ground. In a I " seconds, an acre
was subsoiled to a depth of four feet
by placing holes fifteen feet apart
each way and half a stick of 20 per
cent dynamite exploded in each hole.
A ullcn was uldSleu luoldutiN' WV ~
ders were thrown out of the ground
and broken to pieces
The manner in which Mr. Wilkes
handled the dynamite proved ii is not
an extremely dangerous proposition.
1T has been proven that land SUD
soiled with dynamite here in Georgia
has produced an increase of 200 per
cent in crops said the expert
Mr.. Wilkes left Saturday for Ashe-
vile, \. G. where he will see his
cousin. Paul Wilkes, former Atlanta
newspaper man, now with the Grove
Park Inn.
