HARVEST TIME IS
ALL THE YEAR

ALL THE YEAR
Fitzgerald and Central South Geor-
gia this year is going to experience a
new condition in business, unique for
this section, unique for agricultural
life There is not going to be autumn
harvest" season in the former sense of
the word when all the money came
in to the farmer during few months
and when business men could con-
centrate their efforts for trade into a
short space of time and in a few
months strike off the losses of slack
months and accumulate the whole
years profits.
This year the harvest season. has
begun already with the movement of
vegetables and light foodstuffs
through the curb market and in ship
ment to foreign markets. That. how
ever, has not been developed into a
real money producer yet, it will be
next year. Sweet potatoes are begin
ming to move after being held over
the winter. 1t is, in effect, the Spring
harvest season for that crop. In May
June and July the watermelon and
cantaloupe harvest season will pour
its money into trade channels In
July and August the tobacco harvest
will pay its big dividends to farmer
and merchant In the normal brisk
business season of Autumn other
crops will be harvested and keep the
income from the farms up to or lit
tie above the preceding months but
the amount of money put in CIRCULATION
will never again be so much larger
III proportions to the other seasons.
Especially will this be true the next
fall. There will be practically no
cotton. The actual cost of produc-
ton has been figured at % cents a
pound at present prices of the COM
modities that enter into its produc-
ton. 1t will certainly be at least 20
cents a pound. Thus, business men,
who have formerly been content to
merely drag along during the Spring
and Summer months, trying to keep
from loosing great deal per month
rather than trying to make anything,
with the certainty of receiving the
years profits during the fall months,
must revise their business methods
and plan to make each month show its
own profits. The merchant who fails
to take into full consideration the
change in agricultural conditions
that has been forced on the farmers
this year is going to have hard s1ed-
ding before the year is over.
The farmers generally and individ:
ually have turned from cotton as !
money crop - not because of any:
thing the newspapers have preached
or the farm organizers advocated, but
because cotton is not profitable this
year and will not be profitable for
the next two years. They are plant
ing all-year-round crops. The mer-
chant must harvest his shekils all the
year round.

Fewer Livestock On
Georgia Farms Ever

ATLANTA, March 1O-"Fewer
cattle were on the farms and ranches
of the United States on January LIST of
this year than at any other time since
January LIST 1917; fewer hogs than in
any year since 1915; and we have to
go clear back to 1900 to find date
when there were so few sheep, ac
cording to the report of the Bureau of
Crop Estimates of the United States
Department of Agriculture" says a
bulletin just issued by Agricultural
Agent Roland Turner, of the South
ern Railway System.
In connection with our recent
suggestions that conditions are now
extremely favorable for the develop
ment of a real live stock industry in
the South" Mr.. Turner continues.
this report is most interesting. We
should adopt a new policy with refer
ence to live stock raising and plans
should be made for permanent estab-
lishments of stock raising as part of
our agricultural system. The three
principal points in the program for
live stock development are: better
pastures, better feeding, and bitter
breeding.
"The Southern Railway evelopment
Service, through its live stock develop
ment agents, desires to aid farmers in
its territory in planning for live stock
production and on request from far
mers will be glad to send represent
tative to help work out plans and as
sist in any way possible"

BANKING PROGRESS

There has been great change in
banking methods in the past ten
years.
People today recognize merit in
ia bank not simply because it has been
on one corner for fifty or q hundred
years, but on account of progressive
business methods which meet the
needs of the community.
Banks loan money today as bust
ness, not as a favor to privileged
few. 1t is the volume of small loans
and small deposits which have made
possible the growth of the American
banking system. Keeping close tC
the people is the secret of success In
present-day banking. Banking pros
perity depends upon community ros
perity. It is for this reason thai
modern banks identify themselve.
with and take deep interest in indus
trial development.

Meanwhile, what of those of us

splendid thing to have the schools of
America stretching out before one,
but most of us have passed the school

ceased studying.
The man who acquires the princi.

be no impact, regardless Of the speed
or weight of load. Since such an ideal
condition is practically impossible, road
engineers recognize that all factors
which increase or reduce the impact
of a load are of the utmost Impor-
lance In planning highway construc-
ton and regulation.
The placing Of the larger part Of
the load on the rear axle Is only one Sf
several factors which lead to high Inn
pact forces. In general, the In
creased speed of the truck will In
crease the impact, hence the necessity
for keeping the operating speed within
reasonable limits. Roads kept as
smooth as possible by careful main
tenance win reduce the possibility OF
trucks exerting impact and pressure
forces upon the highway surface, Cush-
ion or pneumatic tires also reduce
impact and cause less damage to
the highways than those of hard
rubber. especially II the latter are not
kept in good repair.
