iMPROviCENT GEORGIA.

With western produce going into
Georgia by the train load to be sold
in Atlanta and other large cites at
war prices, thousands of tons OF food
are going to waste in the fields and
barns of Georgia Sweet potatoes,
beans, peas and other vegetables, ap-
pies and other fruits spoil in the fields
and orchards, while wholesalers or
der by the car lot from California the
very things which arc grown in i'm
mensc quantities within few miles
from their doors.
And because the local products are
allowed to rot, and the produce
bought in the market comes from so
great distance, with costly freight
charges, Atlanta is paying war
prices for its foodstuffs. The reason
for this anomalous condition is plainly
recognized as % combination OF in
efficient marketing and wasteiul sys-
tens Of production"
There could be no greater contrast
than this is how to raise and sell food
and how not to do it. California is
feeding herself and also feeding Geor-
gia, 5000 miles away. Georgia is not
even feeding herself, tho her own
agricultural authorities say that the
farms of southern Georgia alone have
produced more than enough foodstufis
to feed the entire state There is no
more reason, in the nature of things,
why Georgia should depend on Cali
fornia for food than there Is that Cali
fornia should depend on Georgia.
The farmers OF California are or
gained, and sell their crops thru
producers associations. The farmers
of Georgia are unorganized, and don't
know what to do with their produce
after they have raised it. That tells
the whole story.
What the farmers have to learn in
the big majority of states is that get
ting their stuff to market is just as
important, and worth just as much
thought and effort as raising it. And
the way to do it is thru organized &C.
operation.

Modern Poetry.

Poetry, like every great force, has
followed an evolution of it's own, and
us it comes to us today we may trace
in 1t this general tendency. 1t has
tended away from the epic and the
expression of broad communal or ma
tional feeling, and expresses now
far more than it did, in far more sub
tie and intricate directions, the feel
lngs Of the individual.
If it gives voice on public, national
or international events it does 50 from
a far more specialized and personal
point of view than of old, and with
something Of the acerbity and narrow
intellectual outlook of the party poll
tician. The strength of modern po-
ctry seems to lie for the future in
