Community BuildiElS

1t is said that we still import into
the south very considerable quanti-
ties of canned fruits and vegetables
and poultry products. 1t does not
seem reasonable that this should be
the case in a section which nature
has favored so Wonderfully. Facts,
however. are stubborn things and it
seems at present as if the balance
of proof was against us. Is there
any reason why this should continue
to be the case? l think not.
We have been so busy growing
cotton in the past that we have lost
sight of many lines of production
that could be made extremely profit
able. We have now entered fully
upon the era of Investigation and
so we must give attention to the
production within the state of all
the fruits and vegetables essential
for consumption in their fresh form
and for canning and preserving for
use in the intervals between crops.
1t is very important that we empha-
size this matter now, because it af-
fords us one of the means of saving
or keeping within the state many
millions of dollars which have been
sent north and west in the past for
fOodstuffs which we could produce at
home.

Keeping Money at Home


There is an old saying that q dol
lar saved is a dollar make. This is
one of the finest of proverbs, because
it definitely explains why the south
up to this time has not accumulated
a greater amount of wealth than it
is credited with possessing. This
year Georgia has, however, the most
valuable cotton crop in our history,
but what percentage of this money
will be kept at home. A very great
deal will be sent north and west for
automobiles alone. Literally mil
lions of dollars under our favorable
soil and climatic conditions will go
to support the automobile manufac-
turing industries located in Detroit.
Toledo, indianapolis, Chicago and
other great western cities. We can
never hope to be prosperous until we
manufacture goods of this character
at home, and so place back in circu-
lation within the confines of the
south the money made within her
borders. The fact that the cities
in question have been able to draw
to an almost unlimited degree upon
our funds is responsible for their
wonderful growth and development
and their accumulation of such vast
stores Of wealth. They have grown
rich and prosperous at our expense.
This condition must be changed and
reversed or we will always be in the
position of vassals and payers of
tribute to communities such as L
have indicated
I have used the above ilIustra-
ton to explain a well-known situa-
ton and one which is appreciated to
a considerable extent by our bust
ness men. 1t parallels the thing
which is occurring whenever we
send money to other sections of the
country for the purchase of canned
fruits and vegetables or poultry
products. The economic condition
from which we suffer can be chang
ed very materially in a relatively
