Is The Farmer Going
To Buy Automobiles;

Is the farmer going to buy this fall ?
AS one writer puts it, many a manu-
facturer and merchant would sleep
better tonight if he knew the answer.
A leading farm journal determined
to find out whether the American
Farmer will be in the market for pur-
chases and, if so, what will he buy?
The research department of this farm
publication adopted novel plan to
get the right answer. A man named
Smith in the research department cal
culated if he sent his questions to ALL
the Smiths on Il publications lists
he would get 4 Vine on the farm
er's ideas on the subject of fall pur-
chases. So out went a questionairre
to the 1924 Smiths who were sub
scribers to the farm journal. The re-
plies, which were heavy, were used
as basis for estimating what the
entire 100000 farm subscribers were
going to do with their money they
receive from the marketing of their
products.
One of the most interesting features
developed by the questionaires is that
eleven and five-tenths of the Smiths
will buy automobiles, making total
of 126. 500 cars to be bought this fall
by the 100000 farmers. In addition
to showing the number of cars for
which farmers will be in the market
the answers revealed that 10000 have
already determined upon the make OF
car which they will purchase.
Of this number $1,000 designated
a certain low priced car. OF the re-
naming $4,000, the figures show
$4,000 or more than 43 per cent, will
buy Buick cars. Of all cars speci-
fled Buick was second on the list and
and within its price field led the list
by wide margin. This unsolici.
ted testimonial, representing the pres
tige of Buick cars among the Amer
lean farmers, Is regarded by the Buick
Company with a great deal of pride
and satisfaction.

Free Explosives To
The Georgia Farmers
State College Of Agriculture To Dis
tribute Free Explosives

ATHENS, Ga, Sept 26-(Special to
Leader-Enterprise) Arrangements
have been completed by which the one
million pounds of picric acid which
Uncle Sam is giving to the Georgia
farmers for agricultural purposes, will
be distributed through the Extension
department of the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture, said Mr.. J. Phil
Campbell, Director, in an interview
here today.
The government gives this explos-
i've to the farmers for agricultural
purposes, chiefly for land clearing and
drainage. The only cost to the farm
ers will be seven cents a yound for
reworking the war material into car
tridges suitable for agricultural pur-
poses, distribution and freight charges
said Mr. Campbell.
This is the first time picric acid
has been used for agricultural pur-
oses, but when the government de-
cided to dispose of the huge surplus
of the explosives remaining from the
war it was decided to give it to the
farmers, and on account of the large
area of cut-over lands in this state.
Georgia received big share of it.
Picric acid is about IFS per cent as
strong as 20 per cent dynamite. 1t
is put up in six ounce cartridges and
according to government experts is
we'll adapted to blowing stumps in
Georgia.
The low cost at which this exlosive
will be available to the farmers of the
State will do great deal to stimulate
land Gearing and improvement in the
cut-over sections of South Georgia, it
is expected. 1t is sod only to farmers
and not more than 1000 pounds will
be sold to oe person.
The extension division of the Ag-
ricultural college is distributing this
material for the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture in order to help
the farmers of this state to get the
portion allotted to them.
The picric acid will be distributed
only through the county agents of the
State and the farmers who are inter-
ested are asked to communicate as
quickly as possible with the agents.
as it is not known how long the supply
allotted to this state will last. Com
plete information has been mailed to
agents, and they will be glad of any
assistance in the distribution of this
free material. Farmers living in the
counties not having county agents may
write direct to the Extension Divi-
sion, State College of Agriculture at
Athens, Georgia.

"IE OTHERS SURVIVE"

IF any other country can survive, the
United States can prosper
These words. from Chairman Gary of
the Steel Trust. contain much truth in
small compass They are a sovereign
remedy for what most ails America at
this time-pessimiSm.
With most of Americas national ri
walls it is literally. as Judge Gary init
mates a question of survival Great
Britain. France. Italy, Germany, Russia
and various other countries do not know
how they are going to come out of the
war mess. do not know what is going
to happen to them politically or econom-
ically before they get through with it
They arc not thinking much of prosper
ity. They are too near the bottom for
that. They are thinking rather of the
fundamental problems involved in main
tanning their national life They will be
lucky. in most cases, if they merely pull
through, in these next few years.
There is no question of vital peril in
the case of the United States. Our ma
tional life is assured. Compared with
the Others we are IN the rOuSeSG post
tion that any nation ever was except per
haps Rome at the height of lser power
With us it is only question of regaining
our normal prosperity without needless
loss of time. And let it not be forgotten
that even in our present plight we are
vastly prosperous compared with any of
the other powers.
All good fortune is comparative. 1t is
we'll to have this comparison made. If
American business men or workingmcn
feel blue, let them look at their brethren
in Europe, and reflect: IF they can sur
vivc. we can prosper"
And they will survive. never fear
Even the old world is not going to smash

\ good deal is being said these days
about spelling deficiencies and a profess
sor of the Burlington, n. J., high schools
comes to the rescue with a plan to re-
vive the lost art of spelling a la Web
ster. This is the plan: Five words a
day as a spelling lesson; concentration
on a few words at time instead of
spreading all over the dictionary. The
average college student is said to have
vocabulary of only $500 words while
the average person amblcs along through
life with 1000 or less. This fve-a-day
plan will give grade pupil command of
5000 words in five years, its originator
claims. AS proof he tells us that four
grade school pupils so trained. outspelled
every high school opponent in u recent
county contest.
