PlCKENS COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES
Great Interest Being Shown in Lay-By Schools

that were SO startling were as fol-
lows:
|. South Carolina has the small
est percentage Of citizens who can
read than any state in the Union ex
cept Alabama
2. South Carolina spends the least
percapita for the education of her
citizens. The United States aver
ages $39.0l percapita. South Caro-
ina's average is SLIT.
3. South Carolina has the least
number Of school days per school
term. We provide 113 days for our
boys and girls while the United
States average is l60 days.
4. Our state has the least per cent
of girls and boys in high school.
5. We have the least number of
public libraries.
6. We occupy the lowest place in
the nation along all educational lines
These facts have called forth much
comment from the press, yet they re-
main undisputed This record plac-
es our state in position of humilia-
tion and shame. Our educational
efficiency is rated far below the
islands of Hawai- and Porto Rico.
To redeem our state from this stain
of illiteracy the Department of Edu-
cation has launched a state wide
drive to wipe out the calling shame
that we have SO many citizens who
can neither read nor write.
In 1913 there were twenty-three
per cent of the voters Of this county
who could not write their own name.

many will there be in 1922? Wha

STATE HANDICAPPED
ON j. s. FARM LOANS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. a.
After returning from an inspec-
ton trip in Georgia, South Carolina,
and other states, Commissioner AS
bury F. Lever, of the federal farm
loan board, today wrote Senator
Harris that the board is making
every effort to expedite considera-
ton of applications for loans under
the farm loan act, but that the slow
ness of Georgia in coming into the
farm loan system handicapped that
state somewhat.
Senator Harris had sent to the
farm loan board several letters from
Georgians saying the low yield of
cotton made it necessary to have
prompt action on applications for
farm loans. On his trip through the
south, Mr.. Lever said he found con-
ditions rather serious. Writing the
senior Georgia senator, Commission
er Lever said:
the farm loan system, and this is
acting now somewhat as a handi-
cap. I would like to repeat what
was told you the other day when you
called with other senators on. the
farm loan board, that out of IS to 80
recently chartered associations, "a
of them are in Georgia, two new
charters being granted today.
Wherever it has been necessary
to issue a charter, time has been
lost in making the loans as com
pared to associations already char
tered. We are not going to be able
to meet all the demand, even the
legitimate demand, but we feel that
in loaning from $12 100000 to $751;
100000 per month, in excess of S2.-
100000 per month going into the
third land bank district of which
Georgia is a part, we shall be able
very greatly to relieve the situation.
"You will be interested to know
that our recent offering of $6O,O0Os-
900 of farm loan bonds which took
place on Monday, October 3, is pro-
crossing satisfactorily and develop
ing funds which assures us the
steady and continuous loaning oper-
atoms of the system"
Secretary Howard c. Arnold. OF
the Columbia, S. c., bank, has adj
vised Senator Harris in a telegram
that the bank hopes to start out ap-
praisers next month on their second
visits to various Georgia counties.
The bank is finishing up all counties
which have not had an appraisal
before starting on the second visit.

store their sweet potatoes in houses
of the approved type. The federal
reserve bank of this district has in
Dictated that it would consider it a
safe policy for it's member banks to
loan up to the extent of go per cent
of the market value of sweet pota-
toes stored in houses constructed
and operated in accordance with APP
proved plans.
Big Handling Problem
"The state of Georgia is producing
this year nearly 100000 bushels
of sweet potatoes. When we con-
slider that we have adequate stor-
age of 100000 bushels and there is
a possibility of our using a little
more than half of these facilities,
the situation is one worthy of the
attention of our business men and
farmers. At least 40 per cent of
the average sweet potato crop is rep
resented by culs or rots, or be-
comes unstable from other causes
in which careless handling plays a
very important part. This reduces
the available supply by 100000
bushels. The balance then becomes
100000 bushels. If we store 2,00U,-
900 bushels, as we surely should to
provide against the needs of next
spring and make up in part for the
deficit in the Irish potato supply,
we have 100000 bushels yet to
handle and market.
Approximately 20 per cent will
have been consumed or disposed of
by the conclusion of the harvest.
thereby reducing the visible supply
to 4.720,000 bushels. This leaves
only about a bushel and half of
sweet potatoes per capita for use
during a period Of three to five
months.
"Only about per cent of~our crop
has been marketed outside the state
in previous years. Cooperative eff
fort of the right kind should enable
us to Gel most of our storag e house
potatoes beyond the borders of Geor.
gia this year to advantage on &C
count of the relative shortage in the
Irish potato CROP
every patriotic Georgian should
eschew the Irish potato this season.
Our hotels and restaurants should
use the sweet potato to the limit
of their capacity. If the housewives
join in the campaign, our apparen1
sweet potato surplus will dwindle
rapidly into insignificance.
"eLt us do our duty, by our farm
ers in this emergency. The sweet
potato is more wholesome and nutri
tious than the Irish potato. Patron
ize home products and home indus
try, and, as the college boys say.
Watch Georgia win out.

Amistice Exercise
Programs Conflict;
Officials Worried

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Officials
in charge Of arrangements for the
armament conference and those for
mutation of the program for the un-
known dead exercises Of Armi-
stice day were somewhat worried
today as to how the events could
be arranged without having their
programs conflict.
The military escort for the un-
known dead is scheduled to leave the
capitol with President Harding and
cabinet members at it's head at $3.50
o'clock the morning of November
II. The exercises in the amphithe-
ate at Arlington, as planned, would
continue we'll into the afternoon and
would be followed by luncheon for
the distinguished visitors.
While the opening session Of the
conference would be, in the opin-
ions of some, more appropriately
held in the early morning and ad-
journment taken out of respect to
the American unknown dead, and
in recognition Of the Armistice day,
it would seem impossible to meet

INCREASE IS URGED
IN CATTLE RAISING

An urgent plea for an increased
production of live stock in Geor-
gia was made by w. H. White, Jr.,
president Of the White Provision
company, to about 100 representa-
tive guests assembled at dinner on
Friday night at the Capital City
club.
'I am reliably informed" said Mr..
White, ''that 2.S per cent Of Geor-
gia's swine population is pure bred
and that Iowa boasts of but 81 per
cent. The average of pure bred
hogs in the ten southeastern states
is 2.34 per cent. Georgia leads all
the southern states in the number
of hogs produced, but stands fourth
in the percentage of pure bred ami
mails. Our record as a beef-produc-
ing state is not so good and only
nine-tenths of one per cent Of our
beef cattle are pure bred"
The guests at the dinner given
by Mr.. White represented many
lines Of financial and agricultural
endeavor. The four Maryland boys
who won the stock judging contest
at the Southeastern fair also were
present.
Interesting addresses, were made
by H. G.. Hastings, president Of the
Southeastern Fair association; Lee
Ashcraft, president of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce; M. B. Well
born, governor Of the Federal Re
serve Bank of Atlanta; John S. Co
hen, editor of The Journal; Edward.
N. Wentworth, connected with the
live stock research department OF
Armour & Co., and c. B. Heineman,
vice president of the Institute OF
American Meat Packers.
All of the speakers expressed the
opinion that Georgia should not TO
Gus it's attention on one crop, but
should diversity it's activities.
