BETTER MARKETING
CANT A|CN PLANNED

A campaign to boost better mar
keting throughout Georgia and to
urge farmers to adopt the idea OF
intensive cultivation of the crops
most suitable for their locality will
be launched Monday by the market
ing committee of the Atlanta Ad-
vertising club.
Prof. M. C. Gay, of the bureau of
markets Of the State College of Ag'
riculture, and J. F. Jackson, dem
onstration agent for the Central of
Georgia railroad, will begin a two
weeks tour of the state on Mon

paign.
Harold Rogers, Well-knoWn young
Albanian and vice president of the
L. W. Rogers company, will super
wise the campaign. He is chairman
of the better marketing committee
of the Neosha plan department of
the advertising club.
The two speakers who will tour
the state are to speak under the
auspices of the recently organized
Neosha ad clubs in the various
cities. The advertising club plans
to approach the farmers in the bet.
ter market campaign through the
Neosha clubs.
The tour Of the two speakers will
be followed by the distribution OF
literature from Atlantu, it being
planned to have the Neosha clubs
place the literature in the hands OF
the farmers.
This will be followed by the ap
pointment of county agents to SUI
pervise the marketing campaign
and to assist the farmer in deter
mining just what crops are best
suited for their locality. Several OF
these agents already have been ap
pointed.
The literature will discuss the
mere improved methods of curbine
! the activities of-the boil Weevil, anC
! the changes in the former "crop
| ping" system which must come
about to meet the different condi
tons of farming.
The NeoSha ad clubs were select
ed as the most direct method of APP
proach to the farmers. These clubs
are composed CT representative men
and their announced object is to
stimulate trade of every kind in
their locality.
Farmers will be urged to grow
crops for the different seasons OF
the year, OF select the kind of crops
that can be grown advantageOusly
in their community and to practice
intensive farming.
The county agents will cooperate
with the farmers and will be backed
by the advertising clubs in secur-

VETERANS TRIPLE VOICE
LIKELY MEANS FORTUNE

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI. - The
sound of three voices singing "Sil-
er Threads Among the Gold rang
through the corridors of the SWed-
ish hospital here.
The trio" is Joseph Kaufman,
26-year-old veteran of the World
war, now recovering here from in
iuries sustained in a fall month
ago.
Kaufman sings high soprano,
tenor and alto all at the same time.
Specialists say the phenomenon is
one that has occurred only once be-
fore in all history to their knowl-
edge.
Kaufman, a former newsboy, used
to draw crowds to his corner by
singing in a beautiful falsetto voice.
Then his voice changed. He could
not sing a note.
War came and he joined the col,
ors. In the camps he found his
voice coming back-a baritone voice.
Humming one day in the trenches
he found himself singing in three
voices.

voices continued. I sang Keep the

Largest Offering
OF Farm Loan
Bonds to Be Made

WASHINGTON, Feb. G.-The lar
est offering of farm loan bonds ever
made was announced Saturday by
Secretary Mellon.
The twelve federal land banks will
make a combined Offering Monday Of
$75,000,000 of five per cent federal
farm 10 II bonds at the price of
1O2 3-S anu accrued interest, at
which price they will yield approx
mately 40 per cent to callable date
and five per cent thereafter.
The bonds. Nh. Mellon said, will
be dated November 1, 1921, due No
vember /, 1871, and callable at the
option of the issuing bank after No
vember 1, 1881. They will be issued
in coupon form eXchangable for reg
istered bonds. Interest will be pay
able May 1 and November 1.
This is the largest offering of
farm loan bonds ever made" Mr..
Mellon said, but in view of the gen
orally favorable trend of the invest
ment market and the continued
strong showing of the federal land
banks, it is believed that it will be
readily absorbed and as the funds
will go directly to the farmers of
the country, it should do much to
improve the agricultural situation.
