warrant against violators if the police
were not instructed to strictly enforce
the law.

THE COMMON SENSE OF MARKET
ING.

The extended discussion of market
Jag facilities to be provided for the
handling of the immense crops pro
duced in the South this year opens up
many phases of the question, but
among the most important is that Of
proper preparation of the raw produce
by the producer himself.
The price of any given commodity is
established according to the law Of
supply and demand, but common sense
teaches us that the different grades of
the same product bear relative money
values. Well selected, carefully grad
ed corn brings a considerable better
price than corn that has been care
Iessly assorted or is of inferior quality
generally.
Market conditions today require that
the farmer, if he desires to obtain the
best prices for his products, must
realize the necessity of preparing them
with systematic precision and care.
The farmers of the middle West have
come to learn that it pays to grade
their products in accordance with the
standards and to offer them
fol sale grade by grade, so that the
buyer incurs less expense in prepar-
ing the commodities for the final dis

ton, the desired results have been OBJ

realize the wisdom of carefully pre-
pairing their fruit for market.
The principle that applies in the
peach industry holds good for every
agricultural product and the sooner
our farmers come to a realization of
this fact, the sooner will they know
the satisfaction of having received the
best market prices for the products of
their fields.

The condition which will be thrus
upon the South after the completio>
Ct the vast governments project, could
not have occurred at better time from
the general viewpoint of those who
have studied the question, because it is
safe to say that never before in the
history of the South will such activity
be experienced in all lines of endeavor
as that which will be recorded in the
next few months
The enormous large crops that are
being grown in the South, and the uni
versally splendid prices prevailing for
all products are bound to bring I'M
precedented business activity, and
this will be reflected in numerous
buildings of commercial character be-
ing constructed in every city and com
munity in the South; and, besides this,
there will be an enormous increase in
the number of dwellings and other i'm
provement work will be noted gener-
ally in every locality.
There is some opposition to building
under present conditions, and it is be-
ing voiced in mary communities, own
ers of property, who have planned to
build, declaring they will not do SO
under present conditions. But they
might as well a6apt themselves to
rev conditions because the South is
just getting In plane with the rest of
the country, and for many years to
come we will not have cheaper ma
torial, to say the least of it, and cheap
er labor is practically an imopssibility.
This country will no longer have an
unusual supply of emigrant labor to
augment the local contingent, and it
is safe to say that the workers of
America, who have tasted of prosperity
and high prices for their labor, will
not be induced to work for less for
any time during the next decade; be-
sides this, there is bound to be an
enormous demand for labor every
where, and even Europe may make Il
great draft on the labor resources of
this country after order is restore
out of the chaos now existing in that
war-ridden country.
1t naturally follows, therefore, that
the South, indeed the whole country,
must simply face the situation as it
confronts them, and not try to dodge
the issue, for it is one of the inevitable
results that accrues to any section
when there is an unusual movement
for development.
Not only is this true of the COM
mercial and industrial world, but the
farming elements of the South is going
to be placed on the same basis as the
farm workers of the middle west,
where salaries of $25 to SIS are paid
monthly for farm labor, according to
the period Of employment and the ca
pacity Of the worker
After all this means that the South
is simply going in for prosperity and
progress on a permanent basis, and
when we once get adapted to thenew
conditions nobody will suffer thereby.

GEORGIA'S TIMELY CROPS.

GEORGIA'S TIMELY CROPS.
1t should be hugely gratifying to all
Georgians, particularly those immed-
lately responsible for the fine achieve
ment, to know that 1917 is yielding the
heaviest crops of foodstuffs in the his
tory of the state, present indications
pointing to an increase range of
thirty to thirty-three per cent, with
the latter figure almost certain Of
attainment This means materially
more money for the farmers; it means
that thousands will not pay tribute to
the west, and above all else it means
that the agricultural interests are
awakening to the fact that the one
crop idea is myth and burden-build-
er, and that intelligent diversiication
| is the foundation stone of soil indie
pendence. 1t is good for the state and
the people that this single idea in
crustation finally is broken.
While crop totals are not now OBJ
tainable, leading agriculturists acting
in harmony with the state board Of
agricultural have made a thorough
census of acreage, crops already harry
ested and the condition of those crops
still to be gathered. The estimate OF
thirty to thirtythree per cent increase
.over any previous year is said to be
well within the actual outlook. In
South Georgia, particularly those sec
lions ridden by the boil weevil, close
attention has been given to increased
corn acreage as we'll as far heavier
planting of peanuts, velvet beans and
legumes, these last intended for cattle
and live stock. In some sections pea
butts were enteirely experimental ami
therefore approached with great tim

have been harvested, and though the
figures are not obtainable at this pune
tire eminently satisfactory yields are
reported. In connection with the i'm
portant item of wheat farmers through
cut the state are being strongly urge
to increase their acreage wherever
possible. This is sensible advice for
the reason that during the war period
there is a reasonable possibility that the
South will be unable to get all the west
ern bread needed, and it is up to~the
farmers to produce at least a portion
Of thier flour. Present indications are
that the 1918 wheat crop of Georgia,
and the same may be said of corn and
oats, will greatly exceed the current
year.
! Georgia's increased output of general
fooCstuffs is measurably due to the
early appeals of Washington to the
farmers of the state and South to
plant every possible acre. Our people
are to be congratulated that the farm
ers of the state have responded SO
splendidly to the wise policy urged by
the federal and state departments OF
agriculture. Both have given invalu.
able aid to the planters, and their CON
slant hammering of the Importance OF

able future benefit to all.-Atlanta
