The effect the SNOW will have on
the county fruit crop was described
by Mr.. Houston as follows: defer
tae swelling OF the buds; give or
chards more moisture and ultimately
help the quality of the fruit II the
buds are not killed by freeze.
That the snow will further stimu-
late the growth of wheat and assist
other growing crops, such as alfal-
ia, oats and barley, l. the belief of
the county agent. Only small
amount of oats and barley are plant
ed, II is said.

What the California Idea" 1.

"The California idea" which has
now been indorsed by farmers in all
parts of the South is the best form
of cooperative marketing.
And what is the "California idea?'
1t is so simple that it is positively
amazing that we have not long ago
seized this weapon for our deliver
ance.
"The California idea" in it's essen,
tials means that the farmers growing
any particular kind of product OF
commodity shall organize, not simply
by isolated neighborhoods, commune
ties, or counties, for marketing their
product, but that farmers in whole
states and groups of states shall sign
an agreement to market their product
together and hire the best selling
talent in the country to act for them
in selling it.
Such an organization saves to the
farmers the enormous amount hereto
fore accumulated by unnecessary
middlemen. 1t enables the farmers to
control large enough volume of
products to give them a voice in fix
ing their price. 1t puts them in po-
sition to get the best marketing in
formation in the world and to know
when they ought to sell and when
they ought to hold-and to hold in
such quantities as to get results. 1t
puts them in position where the
selling organization can take the
warehouse receipts and furnish mon
ey to the weak farmers or tenants
who, under present conditions, can
not hold, but must dump their crops
on a depressed market and thereby
force down prices for everybody else.
See fuller explanation in recent is
sues of The Progressive Farmer.
This plan has now been adopted
by farmers in all parts of the South
and they are fast getting ready to
avail themselves of its advantages.

Annual Banquet.

The members of the Junior Order
United American Mechanics held
their annual banquet at the Dixie
Highway Hotel Friday night. On this
festive occasion each member was ac-
corded the privilege of inviting a
lady, which accounted for the pres
ence of the wives, sisters and sweet
hearts. AS the members arrived they
were seated for a time in the spa
cious lobby of the hotel where they
engaged lin pleasant conversation.
Promptly at $50 the dining room
doors were thrown open and all were
invited in where they were seated
about the long rectangular table.
Manager Vause maintained on this
occasion his we'll established reputa-
tion for serving splendid suppers. The
menu was elaborate and beautifully
served in courses. AS cigars were be-

Public Spirited Men Respond.

Several citizens, among them be-
ing Messrs. w. E. QUITS, J. E. Minis
and ]. A. Zimmerman, became inter-
ested in improving the condition of
Columbia street and made a call to
persons residing in that section of
the town and adjacent country dis
tricts who travel that street coming
into town to assist in sanding the
heavy red clay. The response to the
call was general and very generous.
Mr.. j. G. Holland donated >the sand,
it being hauled from portion of
his Griffin place. All it has cost the
town was the comparatively small
sum of paying the drivers of the
teams. Up to this time the improve
ment has reached the station and
work will continue until the public
square is reached. A heavy coat of
sand is being spread over the clay
which will finally make the surface
hard and smoothe, hundreds of loads
of sand being used.
The following have contributed
teams: W. E. QUITS, j. E. Minis, ].
