eminent officials are interested in the
announcement form Lima that Peru
has ordered a census to be. taken next
year. Statistics of population and in
dustries of South American countries
are vague and unreliable for the most
part as no census has been taken in
some of the countries for many years.
According to information received
here the 1919 census will be fairly
complete and based to a great ex-
tent upon the recent census of the Uni
ted States, although the classifcations
will not include as many items as
have been included in this country.

that Georgia will do her full sabre in
this production.
It is hoped that every farmer in the
state will plant at least two acres Of
wheat to the pillow and for this pur-
pose he should select his very best
acres. 1t is the purpose of the de-

the producers of the state in the hope
and belief that Georgia's food pro-
duction for the coming year will be
a genuine credit to the state.
