GERMANY'S DANGER.

IF GERMANY were as united as she
was in 1914 when she set out on her
world-conouering expedition, there
would be less ground for expecting
her early collapse. But her greatest
danger and weakness are evidently
behind her trenches, not in front OF
them. The Russian revolution and
the food situation have created an
extremely delicate and menacing po-
litical and economic situation at
home. The mouth of radical social
ism is watering for the sweets OF
democracy, which the Russian mas
ses have grabbed overnight, and
the empty bellies of the German lab
oring classes are beginning to con-
slider bread much more important
than Prussianism. If May Day Ito
morrow should witness nationwide
strikes and disturbances. German
autocracy may be demolished from
within. If the German Cabinet
Yields to the Socialist, it will offend
the Agrarian Junker party; If 1t
Yields to the latter, the former may
be driven into revolt. The next few
days will probably show how much
Germany has to fear from this
source.

How Georgia is Providing
Markets for Her Food Crops

There continually increasing evidences tnaI
Georgia will afford ready and profitable markets
for every ounce Of food supplies her farmers pro-
duce From all parts of the State come reports 10
this effect Business men, individually and In OF
carnations are preparing to handle whatever
amount of grain, meat, potatoes and other oaslc
commodities the planters may have for sale.
wholesale grocer of Thomasville for example, has
notified the farmers of his county that they need
not fear overproduction, all that they do not
sell he will take off their hands at the best market
prices Moultre, justly famed for its enterprise III
establishing market for food animals is building
two large potato-storage plants and providing other
facilities for taking of variety as well as an
abundance of food crops from the surrounding
country These are typical instances of what is
being done at scores of points throughout the
State.
Particularly notable in this connection is the
work of the Albany Chamber of Commerce. For
more than a year that alert and thoughtful insti-
tuition has been studying the food-market problem
win a view to giving the farmers in its territory
definite incentive to raise crops other than cotton
The result is the organization of what is called the
Georgia Farm Products Company which purposes
TO buy for cash at current prices any amount of
standard food crops that may be offered it. In
conjunction with it's warehouses, the company plans
to operate canning factory in order that its means
of conserving food supplies may be complete 1t
plans. moreover,
tional campaign on methods of harvesting, packing,
storing. grading and shipping and all other lmpor-
tant phases OF food crop marketing
Enterprise of this kind is intellectually helpful,
not only to farmers and merchants but also to the
broad interests of the State and the Nation; for by
developing adequate marketing facilities we great
~ encourage production and do much to assure eff
cheney in the distribution Of food supplies. Abund-
ant production and efficient distribution will do
more than anything else to guarantee prosperity
and to lay broad and deep foundations for victory in
the cause to which all resources are dedicated.
Every business community that provides market for
the surplus food crops OF it's surrounding country
and thus stimulates the planting OF a large food
acreage is rendering patriotic service as truly as
are the farmers who bend their energies to the
task Of feeding the nation. 1t is deeply gratifying
that many Georgia towns and cities have taken
this matter vigorously in hand Their foresight
and fine spirit of cooperation will bring them rich
rewards and will help their commonwealth and
their country,
