GEORGIA PRODUCTS
DAY NOVEMBER 10
A NUMBER OF PRIZES ARE OF
FERED BY THE STATE CHAM
Der OF COMMERCE.

ATLANTA, CAL. G. Hastings,
president of the Georgia Chamber of
Commerce, has announced that Geor-
gia Products Day this year will be
on November 10th, and general OBJ
servance of the day is expected
throughout the state.
Governor Hugh M. Dorsey has is
sued a proclamation covering the
day, and it is hoped that the people
throughout Georgia will respond to
the request contained in this procla-
nation and that every community
will hold Georgia Products Dinner,
in which nothing but products grown
within the state will be served.
Great preparations are already
started in Atlanta and Macon, where
hundreds will be seated at the feast,
and unusual programs will be held.
Too much cannot be said of the
holding of Georgia Products dinners
The great need for increased pro-
duction of food and feedstuffs, to say
nothing of the increased production
of almost every commodity, is para
mount at this time of high prices,
and numbers of authorities have Civ
en- it as their opinion that the whole
trouble lies in the fact that there is
an under production that does not
meet the demand.
1t is hoped that the keenest enthu-
siasm will prevail this year in the
L. j 2 De-. i, ,,a%r, How
and that serious thought will be CIV
en- to increased production of food
and other commodities.
