CALL MEETING
WELL, ATTENDED

A called meeting of the Board of
Governors of the Fitzgerald Cham
Der of Commerce was held Saturday
morning at II o'clock and was better
attended than any recent meeting of
the board. The board met to hear
a report from Secretary Clarke on
matters for the benefit of the CITY
which he had been handling for the
Chamber of Commerce during the
past week. His report was exceed
ingly satisfactory and gratifying and
showed that the Chamber of Com
merce is on the right line of work
and is laying the foundation for
splendid results for the city.
At the close OF his report, which
was made in executive session behind
closed doors, the board was asked by
Mr. Clarke to give a hearing to a
party from north Georgia with whom
Mr.. Clarke had been corresponding
ceeking to interest him in Fitzgerald
and Ben Hill county. The firm of
which he is the head has played very
important part in the development of
certain sections of the South, and his
organization moved over six hundred
new citizens into two counties in Ala
bama in eighteen months some short
time since. He made very favorable
impression on the board and told
them frankly that he was preparing
to devote his energies to another
section of South Georgia but that the
insistence of Mr.. Clarke's communi-
cations had brought him to Fitzgerald
and that he was convinced that this
was the best spot in South Georgia.
He will return to the city in the near
future and spend week and complete
his plans for assisting in the develop
ment of the county and the bringing
of new farm settlers into the county.

MONTANA HAS 83.O12
FARMS WITHIN BORDERS

According to a bulletin issued this
week by the state agricultural college
the state of Montana has approx
mately 83,012 farms within her bor-
ders, following a survey made recent
ly. The work was largely done by the
rural schools under the direction of
the agricultural department and the
Montana extension service in agricul-
ture and home economics. E. L. Cur
rier, federal farm help specialists for
Montana, had charge.
Dawson, the largest county in the
state, has more farms than any other,
it's total being $500. Hill and Fer
gus counties are tied for second place
with 5000 each, and Choteau is third
with $500. Sheridan is in fourth
place with 1000 farms, and Teton next
with $500.
The county having the fewest farms
is Mineral, with 125. Silver Bow is
next to the bottom with 200 and Deer
Lodge. in which the city Of Anaconda
is located has only 1856. Lewis and
Clark county, in which Helena is To-
Gated has 500 farms. Valley coun-
ty is credited with 3,100.
The bulletin says:
According to the best information
available, Montana has about $4,000
farms. This figure is the result of
estimates prepared by county agricul.
tural agents and county school super
intendents, after drawing upon all of
the best local information available
upon the subject. Survey records were
secured on 30,964 farms which number
constitutes about 80 per cent of the
total number of farms in the state.
The number of farms in each coun'
ty follows: Madison, Oil; Park
