South to Feel Shift
of Times Slightly

ATLANTA, Jan. 21.-That the pc
Rod of readjustment following the
war will be felt less in the South than
in any other section of the country is
the opinion of well-informed Atlanta
business men who are in close touch
with conditions in Georgia and other
Southern states.
It is pointed out that the South will
buy more of the things that are plen-
tiful, and therefore cheap, while sell
ing more of supplies that are short,
and therefore costly, than any other
section, this being particularly true
as regards the South's staple-cotton.
In the matter of food supplies, which
are still a world problem, the
South is in better position to feed
herself today than ever before, as
the war gave great and lasting i'm
petus to food crop production along
all lines, and the farmers are diversi-
flying more than ever before.

''Stock Law" Wins in
Counties Adopting it

ATLANTA, Jan. 51-Much signif-
canoe is attached to the fact that the
livestock industry is making more ra-
pid progress in counties which have
what is known as the stock law
among these being Greene, Macon.
Hancock, Telfair and Meriwether. A
comparison of figures for 1918 with
those of 1917 shows that the live stock
industry made rapid strides In the
year just past, and especially notable
was the increase in the counties men
toned.
Some Georgia counties require stock
to be fenced In, while crops are turn.
led out Other Georgia counties re-
quire crops to be fenced in, while
stock are turned out. In the latter
counties the cattle and hogs are con-
stantly killed by railroad trains and
automobiles. They obstruct traffic,
stray far from home, pick up cattle
ticks and other contagious animal dis
eases, and by no means thrive.
The difference between the develop
ment of the live stock industry in
fence" and 'no-fence" counties ia in
disputably proven by cold figures.
