What Was Done.


The large gathering accomplished
much, prominent among these things
being:
The state agricultural council on
food production and conservation was
made the official organization of Geor-
gia in accordance with the request of
the United States government.
Gov. Harris was authorized to ap-
point commission of five men to pro-
coed to Washington to unravel the fer
tilizer problem, taking it up with the
federal government.
Resolution adopted urging land
owners to rent their lands to tenants
for part of the crop raised thereon,
and not for all of the cotton as is the
general plan.
Suggestions made by DR.. A. NJ. Soule,
president of the State Agricultural col
lege. en- the conservation of food. DR..
Soule urged the planting of staple,
fruit and garden crops, and urged the
farmer to let "the new and untried
things alone"
The conference unanimously disap-
proved the idea of fixing maximum
price, which should be paid for cotton,
urging that the law of supply and de-
mand regulate the price of cotton.
A change in the basis of credit given
by bankers was urged, with the sug-
gestion that money be lent on all crops
and loans be conditionally carried over
The canning of all vegetables and
fruits was urged by Miss Lois Dowdle
head of the canning club department
o. the State College of Agriculture.
Can It," is the suggested slogan.
Charles B. Lewis, president OF the
Georgia Bankers association, outlin-
ed the new policy of the banks in re-
gard to live stock. He said the bank
ers will finance the stocking Of farms
with cattle and hogs. His bank, he
said, will finance the canning club
work in Bibb county.

ELECTRIC FANS WORKED OVERTIME ON TUESDAY
It Was the Hottest Day in Norwich in
 Eight Years Past.

Tuesday was the hottest day in Norwich in eight years. One resident of the West Side says it was the hot test day in twenty -one years. But he lives in a section of the city which is gradually becoming built up which probably accounts for the high mer- cury reading out his way. In the doorway of a Main street barber shop the mercury read 120 degrees Tuesday afternoon and readings almost as high were reported from various parts of the city.
 local druggist who carries a soda fountain has discovered that by keep ing his store door closed he keeps the cool air inside and the hot out. He put the new plan into operation Tues day and it worked to perfection. Soda fountain and ice cream clerks were among the hardest worked people in the city for a steady stream of men. women and children filed in and out of these stores all day and late into the evening. A number of local offices closed up about the middle of the aft ernoon and employees in many of the stores and industrial plants in the city, especially the girls and women. were allowed to go home at 4.S0 o'clock. Electric fans were worked overtime and, we hate to say it, there's no relief in sight yet.
 Several local concerns, including the Bleachery and American Strawboard company, shut down for the great part of the day. The Strawboard company shut down at noon Tuesday.
