Food And Grain Crops Will Make
Agricultural South Independent,
Says n. G. Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special 1.-The cred
it system under which the agricultu
raj south works and stays poor is an.
alyzed in striking way by H. G.
Hastings of Atlanta, chairman of the
agricultural committee of the Cham.
Der of Commerce, and a member OF
the executive council of the South.
eastern. Fair. He does not mince
words in talking about the situation.
Every season during the last fifty
years." he says, there has been trou-
bic in the cotton belt whenever the
crop was large and the price low, or
the crop short. Each time the cry of
hard times goes up, and the reason
back of it is that the farmers cannot
get enough money to pay their debts
out OF their so-called cash crop-cot-
ton. 1t is disheartening because it is
so absolutely unnecessary.
"A cotton farmers debts are large
ly for food and grain, charged up
against him on the merchants books
at two to three times the price that
those same items could be produced
on his own acres, and usually without
serious interference with a crop of cot
ton as large as he now makes.
The trouble is that most cotton
farmers owe their crop instead of
owning it when made.
"The credit way looks the easy
way, but it strangles most farmers
before they get through life.
Il have said repeatedly in public
addresses that no state or section of
any country can be prosperous that
is regularly dependent on another
section for it's food supplies. What
is true of state or section is true
of the individual farmer.
The great exhibits of grain, hay
and food products shown at the South
eastern Fair held in Atlanta in No
vember, give the lie to the statement
that these things cannot be grown
here at home successfully and prof
itably.
"a good big home garden kept
planted and rightly tended through
the season will produce half Of the
living besides furnishing an abund-
ance for canning or drying from the
surplus.
when we make our food and grain
we will have few or no debts at the
store; We will own instead of owe
our crops when made, and farm
wealth will accumulate in the south
instead of farm and crop mortgages"

Exhibition Cars
Soon To Start

Atlanta, Jan. 12.-The publicity
campaign of the Georgia Chamber
of Commerce begins in real earnest
on the 18th of this month, when the
two exhibit cars of the organization
are put On public exhibition in At
lanta on the spur track of the Wes-
tern & Atlantic Railroad.
1t seems quite fitting and appro-
pirate that the beginning of the
public exhibition of the products
contained in these cars should take
place Under the shadow of the walls
of the old Kimball House, within
whose walls so much political his
tory of the state has been enacted.
The present manager of the KimbaIl
House, Mr.. William Foor, is a very
public spirited citizen and was chair
man Of the county advisory boards.
Of the Georgia Harvest Festival. Dur
ing the time the cars are on exhi-
bition in front of the Kimball House;
MI. Foor will be active in welcom-
ing visitors to the cars and in max
ing them feel at home Fin the Kim
ball House, should they desire to
rest after having inspected the cars.
Very Complete Plant.
The cars are probably the most
complete plant of their kind ever
operated for any section or State,
and represent an investment of be-
tween thirty and forty thousand dol
lars, the equipment including it's
own electric lighting plant and heat
ing system.
The agricultural and mineral ex-
hibits in the car are more complete
than can be found at any one place
In the state, not excepting the exhi-
ton at the State Capitol. Commits
sioner j. D. Price of the department
of agriculture has had general charge
of the general stocking of the cars
with the agricultural exhibits, and
Mr.. S. w. McCauIIie, State Geologist,
has co-operated in securing the prop
er mineral exhibits. Carrying out
the idea of all fairs and expositions,
the cars will have museum features
intended to draw the crowds into
the cars, when simply a plain agri-
cultural exhibit without these fea-
lures would not draw the crowds to
the cars after they leave Georgia.
The cars will leave Atlanta on
January 26th for six months tour
OF the leading towns of Georgia be-
fore going on their fve-year journey
outside of the state. They are being
sent through Georgia in order that
the people may see just exactly
what the Georgia Chamber of Com
merce is going to display outside of
Georgia.

Why Socialist Voters
Should Support the
Democratic Ticket
Nv EDWIN ]. BROWN.

Candidate for Prosecuting Attorney.
In my previous article. I told how
the Socialist voters were disregarded
by tho Socialist Party organization
In this state In 1912. have many
times charged that there was cor
ruption In the organization OF the
Socialist Party in this state. and
have never been challenged to pro-
duce the proof shall always invite
questions from Socialist voters when
i make my campaign In King county
and the state, In order to furnish
this proof. The rank and file OF the
PARTY members are honest, but they
arc BETRAYED by the crafty meal
ticket artists who have fed off the
party and its members for years
past.
PEOPLE WANT CONSTRUCTION
The day is past when the people
care to listen to destructive COM
ment 1t must be admitted that the
Socialist Party and the Republican
Party are parties OF mere protest
which tend to obstruct and tear
down instead Of construct and build
up that which Is needed TO take the
place of what has become burden
some, useless and a menace to pri-
waite rights and the general good.
DEMOCRATS NOW Constructive
After fifty years OF dollar diplom-
acy and money lust legislation, in
1919 the great common people OF
this nation were demanding that
their burdens be lightened. The
Socialist Party, the Bun Moose Party
and the Democratic Party went be-
fore the nation with programs and
platforms intending to afford meas
ures for relief. calculated by these
political parties to guide our evolu-
tionary upward and onward advance
mcnt toward natural private rights
and economic justice.
Tho Republican Party In 1912, as
today, stood still and pat. Offering
up a tariff prayer, and with solemn
brow proclaiming, as IL was In the
beginning. IL is now and ever shall
be for II is our policy that the rich
shall have their ice in the summer
and the poor may have their ice In
winter. where climate permits; the
people left them standing pat In
1918, whore they still stand pat. and
will stand pat for four and may be
more years.
