In THE SOUTHEAST
BANK DEPOSITS ARE REACHING
UNPRECEDENTED VOLUME
THROUGHOUT STATE

Columbus, Oct. 14.-The Industrial
Index, says in its issue for this week:
Bank clearings in the Southeast
are making new high records. From
small town in Georgia comes the re-
port that the deposits of one of it's
banks amounts to $1,00O,O00, this be-
ing the first time that so much money
has been placed in a bank in that
town. This is typical The people
have more money to place in the
banks than ever before, this applying
to towns as well as cities in the South
| east The good price that is being
received for cotton, the money ex-
pended for army camps and that
which is being placed in circulation
by soldiers, the keeping at home of a
vast sum of money that heretofore
has been sent to other sections for
products that have been grown and
raised in the Southeast this year.
these are some of the causes of rec
Ordbreaking bank deposits
"The Southeast will have more
money for building, for the establish
ment of manufacturing plants, for
bushes operations and for develop
ment generally than ever before,
which must result in an even greater
prosperity
"Thirty-one corporations have been
formed in the week, with minimum
capital stocks aggregating $6O8,1OO

SELECT and SAVE
MORE SEED CORN
FIVE REASONS FOR DOUBLE
SUPPLY GIVEN BY DEPART
MENT OF AGRICULTURE

Washington, D. c., Oct. 13.-Five
BILE the usual amount of seed corn in
the localities where the corn crop is
maturing in good condition, are put
forth by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture for the considera-
ton of farmers in statement issued
today. The Department believes that
much more than the usual acreage
OF corn will be planted next spring,
and that now is the best surest, and
easiest time to get the necessary
seed. The five reasons for increasing
the seed corn supply are:
1. First-class seed corn is scarce
almost every spring.
2. Extend paintings and replant-
ings practically exhausted the held
over supply last June.
3. In some sections this years
crop has been destroyed by drought
or early frosts. Farmers. of these
sections should now arrange to Sc
cure seed from localities possessing
climatic conditions similar to their
own
4. In localities favored with a crop
this year, next years crop may be
destroyed, and there should now be
selected a supply of locally adapted
seede for 1918 and a hold-over supply
for 1919 planting.
5. Hail storms, floods, and droughts
yearly destroy millions of acres of
young corn, making second and third
paintings necessary. Seed corn deal
ers who provide ample supplies of
seed of early maturing varities render
valuable service by prompt deliveries
for these emergency paintings.
