The Attorney General committed
a grave indiscretion." Mr.. Tinkhan
told the committee, in his dealings
with the growers under the Lever act.
section No. 4 Of the Lever act says
tnat no person shall exact excessive
prices. Section No. 8 gives the Presi'
dent authority to name board to pre-

up to the Sugar Equalization Board to
down the price Of sugar.
The Equalization Board last year
negotiated with the beet sugar peo-
pie of the West and the cane grow
ers Of Louisiana Later they made
terms with the Cuban growers. AS 9
result. the price was kept at IL to
IL cents.
The Attorney General recently fixed
maximum prices of IL and IS cents
on the two grades of Louisiana sugar
and agreed to a maximum of 10 cents
for beet sugar.

These are prices at the factories.
IF IL and 1s cents is the price at the

Members of the House committee
expressed a desire to hold shortly
,other bearings, at which the sugar
situation will be gone into at length.
My correspondence during the
present session has brought more
communications asking for light on
the sugar situation than on any

the committee declared.
During the hearings the committee
will be asked to give consideration

There is no reason why goats Of

There is no reason why goats of
the character you mention should not
be successfully maintained and han
died in the northern part of this
state Goat branching has not been
taken up extensively in Georgia as
yet, but enough has been done by
various individuals to prove, the
feasibility of this type of animal
husbandry. In my opinion you, would
find a ready sale for all the meat
you might have to offer the public.
Possibly you would have to ship the
live animals to the. larger consum-
ing centers, but in that event there
should be no trouble in disposing of
the surplus animals on your farm to
advantage and at q fair profit as
we'll. There is no reason why either
strain of goats you mention should
not succeed in this section. AS much
will depend on the skill with which
this proposition is managed as upon
the type of animals selected. Both
are important, but success cannot
follow failure either to select suit
able stock or to manage the propo-
Sition successfully.
There is no reason, Of course, why
have fairly good value, and there is
every reason to believe you can sell
the fleece to advantage.
Goats can be maintained on rough,
hilly land where the grazing is fair
ly good quite satisfactorily. Like
other classes of live stock they will
do better if provided with more
abundant food supplies than native
pastures or scrubby woodlands af-
ford. Goats can often be used to
advantage in clearing up land which
has been slashed out and from which
the trees have been removed. They
are fond Of bushy, shrubby plants
and will do much towards destroying
the same.
While one might undertake goat
ranching Independently, our thought
would be to take it up in association
with a general farming proposition
On most farms there is some land
which could be devoted to the main
tenance of goats to advantage. II
is a side line which, If given a rea-
sonab1e amount of attention, would
prove profitable and add quite ma
terially to the income of the owner
| We are not very enthusiastic in ad-
vising man who has had no expert
ence with goats to undertake the
ranching proposition off-hand. We
think one should enter a proposition
| of this kind on a somewhat conserv'
ative basis, becoming acquainted
first of all with conditions under
which goats thrive best, and ther
extending the number maintained as
opportunity justifies.

It is recognized at the outset that
MANY of these men have no farms OF

There Is an after-the-war song
running something like this:
'tHow you going to get him
Back on the farm,
After he's seen

The problem Is one that the United
States Department of Agriculture Is
successfully attacking, not by back
to-the-farm" propaganda, but simply
by informing soldiers of definite OPP
portunities' to enter or return 10
agricultural work. Already such OPP
portunities have proved to be all
that was necessary to induce many
soldiers, sailors and marines to join
or rejoin the peace-time army OF
food producers.
At the rehabilitation camps agri-
cultural representatives are confer

ties for a JOB in agrlcuituraL "or aI,
The information they give the men
is definite. Each rehabilitation camp
discharges men from certain states:
These representatives have a list OF
all AGRICULTURAL jobs open in those
states. These lists are classified
into different types of farming, SO

If a soldier wants to work on a

show all the opportunities open IN

And the lists contain similar 1nfor-
farming, dairying, fruit and truck
farming. Lists are also Kept OF
farms for sale and for rent, and
farm owners who want partners. Full
descriptions of all opportunities are
obtained so that the soldier can IN IN

are placed attractive posters which
call attention to the presence in
camp of a representative Of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. These posters ask pertinent
questions and state facts about diff
ferent occupations that remind the
soldier who is soon to be discharged,
that the farm is a mighty, good place
to be if he is suited or sSained for
farm work.
Do you want a farm job2 Have
you ever considered owning a farm?
Would you like to rent a farm? Can
you drive a tractor? Do you want
to buy a farm? These and many
other questions are painted of a life
in flowery beds of ease on the farm.
straightforward facts and figures
are presented. The government does
not want to send any soldier to the
farm unless he is fitted to succeed
there.
In some camps farmers Institutes
are held. Experts in farm work lee
ture and answer questions. These
Institutes run a week with a differ
ent program every day. When new
bunch of soldiers come in the work
is repeated. One camp reported that
200 to 400 soldiers attend every
meeting. The camp libraries assist
by placing agricultural books and
papers in the lecture halls.
Results Of the work
Where records have been kept they
show that many a soldier who would
have drifted to a city goes back to
the farm. In one camp, before the
agricultural representative had in
formation about definite Jobs and
farm opportunities, SO per cent of
the farm boys went to cities to get
a job. After he had the informa-
ton only 5 per cent Of those with
previous farm experience chose the
city.
There was a shortage of farm Ia
Dor before the war. One million men
went from the farms into military
and naval service. Some of these
men will not return to the land. This
is neither unusual nor unexpected.
Many thousands of young men left
the farms during peace time for in
dustry, the professions, and work
in the cities. But the large major
ity of soldiers who came from the
farms and who are given any rea-
sonable opportunity are again taking
up farm work.

RELIEF FOR FUEL SUFFERERS

The continued severe winter
weather is bringing our people up
against a serious proposition due to
the shortage of the supply of coal
and other fuel and there is danger
that some people are apt to suffer.
The condition calls for action by
those who are in position TO act to
arrange to meet the impending cris-
is. The people have money to pay
for fuel but can not get it at all.
II the cold weather continues and in
dications are now that 1t may, there
is sure to be dire suffering and al
most before we know II there will
be such a scourge of colds, grippe
and pneumonia as was never before
known here.
The city and county authorities
backed by all the people must take
hold of the situation and as far as
possible render aid wherever need
ed.
