FARMERS ARE NOT
HOLDING COTTON

I That the fall season Of 1915
promises to be much better in a
business way than that of last year
is the general opinion Of the mer-
chants and business men of Lees
burg This is due to a great extent
to the fact that the farmers are sell
ling their cotton as fast as possible
and getting cash from it with which
to settle up their accounts.
After the experience last year
nobody seems inclined to hold cot
ton for an advance in prices. The
whole crop seems to be opening at
once and there will be practically
no top crop, the little fertilizer used
being considered responsible for this
condition. The crop in this coun-
ty viii be from 80 to 40 per cent
less than chat OF last year, but as
that was an unusually large one it
will not be such very small crop
after all.
While the growers are disposing
of their cotton very rapidly the
buyers do not find the demand in
there line very strong just now.
Business men estimate that this
crop when sold at s cents per pound
will mean more to the farmers that
their crop last year at same selling
price on account of the greatly re-
duced cost Of production. No crop
has ever been made in Lee coun.
ty at as little cost as the crop of
1915. One striking evidence of this
is the fact that fertilizer bills alone
have been cut in half. All farmers
have made their crop on less hired
labor, with less advances, less COM
mercial fertilizers ard have lived
at home and off their farms very
largely this year.

ceiyed from 1873 Georgia counties

carefully based on some 800 to COG

ports are almost directly in line
with statements heretofore emanina-
ing from the Department regarding
the condition OF the crop.
The condition Of the corn. while
better than the cotton, has been
materially affected by she drought.

GEORGIA TO HAVE u
STATE HIGHWAYS
Atlanta, Ga, Aug 20, 1915
Mr.. 2. V. Rlanton,
Editor Journal,
Leesburg, Ga.

LoesDuTg, Nb'
Dear Sir;-
The Georgia Chamber of Com.
merce is planning the establishment
Of twelve automobile highways,
leading out Of the city ofMacon and
penetrating to every section Of the
state to the border lines. The Sc
lection of these twelve highways
viii be left to the Good Roads Com
mittee of the Georgia Chamber OF
Commerce. An opportunity will
be given all representatives OF con-
testing routes to present their claims
at meeting to be held in Macon
on the 10Th and Both Of september,
and the routes will be designated as
soon after the meeting as inspection
runs can be made over the various
contesting routes. No routes will
be considered not having a good
representation at the Macon meet
ing on September 29th and Both.
Each link Of the system of twelve
routes, as soon as designated and
the route is in proper condition,
will be known as a Georgia State
Highway" and will be 50 marked
with the usual signboards, and a
booklet issued showing all the routes,
to be distributed among AUTOMOBILE
lists and kept at convenient places as
a guide for tourists. 1t is hoped
that within a few years at most the
routes will have been put in such
condition that when the Georgia
legislature creates a Georgia High
way Commission, which it probab-
ly will do by that time, this system
of highways can be rendered to and
accepted by the Commission as the
beginning of a complete network
.of highways throughout Georgia.
II you are interested in this mat
tor, re suggest tllWt yen call togotIa-
er few Of your citizens at once,
figure out route from Macon to
the border line Of the state running
through your town and county, con-
fer the other other towns and coun-
ties along tile line of this route, and
organize an auto tour to go over
this route from the state line to-
Macon on September 18th and 80,
those going on the tour to be dele
gates to the meeting for the pur-
poe Of seeking the designation of
this route as one of the twelve to be
selected at that time.
Yours very truly,
A. M. Smith,
Secretary-Manager.
