WARE COUNTY PLOT
BRINGS BIG RETURNS

WAYCROSS. Ga, Dec. "A striking
example of what can be done on Ware
county land has just come to light. On
about twenty-five acres at the end of
Riverside drive, at the corporate limits
of Waycross, A. f. Cochran well known
member of the bar, this year has re-
ceived enough from sea island cotton
planted early in the year to pay the
original cost of the land, purchased
twelve years ago, with all taxes, and Z
per cent interest on the investment The
land was stumped last year and the
money received from the sale of wood
paid for the clearing and fencing. Only
five tons of fertilizer was used on the
land, and the cotton. planted in rows
five feet apart, grew as high as six and
seven feet and interlocked from row
to row. Mr.. Cochran is going to plant
forty acres in sea island in 1917, hav-
ing as his partner r. ID. O'Berry, and
he says the boil weevil will be defeated

AMERICA TO FIND
MARKET IN FRANCE
AT END OF WAR
Bic Manufacturers. viii Then
Turn Eyes Toward French,
Says Prominent Manufacture
er OF York, Pa,
BY MILTON BRoNNER..

NEW YORK. Dec. 1I.-"When the war
is over and the process of rebuilding
from the ruins begins. states like Ohio
and Pennsylvania, which manufacture
huge quantities of machinery can do no
better than look to France for an imme-
date market"
The speaker was a. b. Farquhar. head
Of the A. b. Farquhar Co. OF York, Pa,
manufacturers of agricultural machines
and heavy machinery.
About a year ago the French sent an
industrial commission to this country 10
study after-war trade possibilities. In
return, an American industrial commits
sion not long ago went to France. Far
quhar was = member.
Peace" said he, 'is going to mean the
start of a rebuilding era such as Europe
has not known since the wreckage of the
middle ages.
II understand that almost every piece
OF machinery in the occupied district of
Belgium and France has been carried
away by the Germans, VINO systematical-
ly set about TO strip the conquered ter
ritory of everything that would be VAL
liable in the reorganization of its fac
tories.
This has been done with the usual
German thoroughness. When peace 81
nally comes, the plants in Belgium and
northern France will be nothing more
than four walls.
Il could not even estimate the amount
of machinery that must be bought by
the French and the Belgians once the
fighting stops. Its total value will run
into huge figures. They will want al
most every kind of machinery required
by modern industry.
ANY American maker of machinery
can turn confidently to that field for lu-
crative business on the very day peace
is declared.
implements of every sort will also
be required. 1 asked the French minis
ter of agriculture what the farmers
would need. He got a report from his
French farmers would need at once 12o,-
600 plows. 1000 tractor engines, 10000
threshers, and so on.
Our business men must not make the
mistake of believing that France has been
impoverished by the war. We were as.
tonished by the amazing richness and re-
sources of the country.
"Of course, war expenses have proved
a heavy drain, and the American seeking
French accounts after the war must ex-
tend reasonable credit 1 think our do
nestle credit arrangements would about
fit the situation.
Remember, too. that there are no bet
ter debtors in the world than the French.
They rank first among the nations for
promptness in meeting all obligations.
81 found the French disposed to favor
American concerns. But we must all
bear in mind that We must give them
the full value of every franc spent with
US. and must reciprocate by purchasing
products France makes better than any
country in the world"

SACRED SAVANNAH
SIESTA ATTACKED
BY THE ROTARIANS
Movement Launched by Colo
mel A. R, LaWton Threatens
to Upset Old Established
Business Custom

SAVANNAH, Ga, Dec. 10.-Savann Il
Rotarians, in their war on all obsolete
practices of business organizations.
have recently fired the opening gun in
a campaign launched to break up the
habit which makes Savannah distinc-
tive among the cities of Georgia, and
which preserves one Of the fast vanish
ing customs of the old south-the aft
ernoOn siesta.
Colonel A. r. Lawton, vice president
of the Central of Georgia railway, and
one of the leading lawyers and bust
ness men of Savannah, fiTkt gave the
idea impetus in a speech before the Ro-
tary club recently in which he drew at
tention to the fact that the business
world of Savannah lay down every aft
ternoon after a regular dinner to sleep
for an hour before returning to work.
Savannahians are somewhat wrought
up over this hostile invasion of their
personal privileges, and IN spite of
the efforts of the Rotary club, the
Federation of WOman's organizations
and other civic bodies of the city, indi-
cations are that some of the old-fash-
toned citizens will make glorious
stand for their sacred rights or snooz-
ing in the middle of the day.
The Retail Merchants association,
the board of trade, the cotton exchange
and the Savannah Bar association are
being urged by those inaugurating the
NOV ement to help put forward the
plans to break up the closing of bust
ness offices for two solid hours in
the afternoon.
w. V. Davis, president of the Savan-
nah Rotary club. and C. B. Gibson, SUI
perintendent of Chatham schools, and
others interested in the Rotary work,
will begin their first attack when they
take up the question of changing the
hours of the Savannah public schools,
which open at a. M. and close at z
D. iii.
Some six years ago a movement was
started to change the hours of school
sessions and to break up the MONDAY
siesta habit, but it was without mate
rial results.
1t is said that the offices of the aft
ernoon newspaper and the offices of the
Central of Georgia railway are among
the few in Savannah which do not sus-
pend business at the noon hour for the
daily nap.

Pedigreed Cows viii
Supply the Milk for
Moultrie Creamery

Especial Dispatch to The Journ2I.)
MOULTRIE, Ga, Dec S.-Three hum
dred high-grade, pure-bred dairy cows
of the Jersey and Holstein breeds have
been shipped to Moultrie to supply
cream to the Moultrie creamery. Seven
pure-bred bulls have been added to
herds in that region to provide the
foundation for further development.
More COWS are wanted. Arrangements
are being made by which it is expected
that a car load or more of high-grade
Holstein cows with one or more pure
bred Holstein bulls will likely be
brought in from New York or Wiscon-
sin during the month.
Special assistance is being rendered
in promoting this enterprise by special
lists from the college of agriculture and
county agents in the region tributary to
Moultrie.
The creamery is making 1900 pounds
of butter a month which brings 80
cents a pound Those selling cream to
the creamery received 81, 500 last month
although the plant is only starting.
These twenty-seven patrons of the
creamery average an income of $50 per
month, whereas, If they grew only cot
ton they would be receiving no steady
income. Such farmers are able to
finance their farming operations with
out borrowing money at the banks.
Already a number of silos, modern
dairy barns and milk houses have been
built in accordance with plans furnished
by the college of agriculture, represent
atives of which institution have super
vised the construction. Velvet beans
are being extensively grazed. Cheap
feed good COWS, and good price for but
ter fat is the combination which the
patrons of the Moultrie creamery re-
ceive. The creamery paid SO cents per
pound for butter fat in october.

CHEMUNG WENT DOWN
WITH U. S. FLAG FLYING
Captain Duffy Says Subma-

CRy Associated Press.>


PARIS. Dec. 9.-'The Chemung went
down with the American flag flying, all
right" said Captain John ]. Duffy, mas
ter of the steamer Chemung, sunk by a
submarine off the coast of Spain Novem-
Der 2s to the Associated Press. But
had no argument over the flag with the
Austrian submarine commander"
Captain Duffy was in Paris for a few
hours Friday on his way to England,
whence he will sail for the United
States.
I'VE were fired on after had hoisted
signal that was stopping" said the
Chemung's master. I'VE had been on
the lookout for submarines and had de-
termined to stop as soon as we were
signalled. Therefore when the first gun
was fired our signal that we were stop
ping went up. Nevertheless she'll fired
afterward struck our bows.
When the ship was struck by the
torpedo our boats were not out of range
of the debris, which shot up into the
airs for a thousand feet and fell all
around us. 1t was a lucky chance that
no one was hurt.
Third OFFICER Jacobsen, who went to
the submarine with the ships papers.
says the Austrians first intended to
make me a prisoner. But he said to
them: Don't. The captain is a very
good sort I was not taken aboard the
submarine, but Jacobsen said she was
of a very large type, being 10 feet long,
he guessed. He said she had high bow
like a yacht, not like the bow Of an or
binary submarine"
