TRYING TO FIND THE BEST
MARKET

Georgia has grown thousands o.
tons Of velvet beans this year, and
singularly enough, owing to short
age in other protein supplying cat
tie foods, there is extraordinary
need and demand for them.
To get in touch with the right
markets, the Georgia State Market
Bureau has written over 200 lead
ing manufacturers Of cattle and
stock feeds in the United States
aud Canada. Already about
75 replies have been received, ask
ing. for samples for analysis, and in
some instances carload lots have
been asked for.
Cessation of whlskey manufae-
ture has cut off very large pro-
portion of the cattle feed supply
for which grain mash was used Of
ter distillation. Velvet and soy
beans must take the place Of this
material.
The state market bureau is not
only engaged in locating markets
for this Georgia product-and, by
the way it has already found one.

FREE COTTON--AND THE PRICE

Quite number of Southern
newspapers are urging that cotton
ought to bring a price in proper
ton to that Of wheat. Therefore,
that the growers should hold for
25 cents.
We agree that the present price
does nos represent the proportion-
ate value Of the cotton crop and
the only remedy lies with the pro-
ducers. Ii they will hold out for
rs cents they viii probably get it.
But the wheat growers are not
obliged to hold their wheat to OBJ.
tain SO. 20 bushel for their pro-
duct; on the contrary they are be-
ing urged to sell. And thereby
hangs a tale and maybe lesson,
When the food control bill was
drafted, cotton was included there
in. straightway there went up a
claim from those representatives of
the Southern states in Congress
who have sought to cuddle the
home voter by insisting that cotton
was entitled to preferential legisla-
tive privileges, and at their insist
ence the staple was taken out of
the bill. That left it at the mercy
Of the spectators, and it forth
with declined about $25 bale.
The wheat growers got behind
their Congressman and had min
imum price of $2.2o fixed, when
only a few years ago dollar wheat
was the keynote Of prosperity
throughout the middle West Con,
sequently the growers of wheat and
producers Of other articles included
under food control resinlply hold

raining into them, while the cot
ton growers see their product forced

the many valuable awards to be made
to the Boys Corn clubs and the Girls
Canning clubs
The aggregate Of more than $685. 600
in prizes to be paid for agricultural and
farm displays alone will give some
small idea Of the tremendous extent
of the Southeastern Fair this year, es-
pecially since that is scarcely half the
aggregate total of the premiums.
Without the farm there could be no
fair. The Southeastern Fair is found
ed primarily upon progressive agricul-
ture, and because the farmer, too, likes
and must have his holiday, there are
combined with it such wholesome
amusements as the horseracing 1.-THE
