COLLECTIVE SELLING
SAVED GE:QRG|ANS
S390,442 IN YEAR

ATHENS, Ga, Dec. 11.-Georgia
farmers sold $2,O62 1890 worth of
farm products last year on the CO.
operative plan and saved $500, 442 90
thereby, according to announcement
Friday by DIR. j. Phil Campbell, df
rector Of extension of the State Col
lege Of Agriculture.
A saving of $114,740,0 900 was real
lied in buying farm commodities on
the cooperative basis, it is declared.
The Floyd County Farm bureau
saved $4,000 on $40 tons of fer
tilizers.
Cattle, hogs, cotton seed Irish po-
tatOes, sweet potatoes, cotton, truck
crops grain corn, peanuts and other
farm products were sold by the CO.
operative plan.
Many Of the county agents and
farmers are now making marketing
plans before producing the crops.
This is the only safe way especially
for new crops, in the opinion of DR..
Campbell.
Farmers are now realizing that
marketing is just as important as
production. One of the features of
the big Farmers conference at the
State College of Agriculture January
1929 will be the demonstrations in
preparing farm products for market.
According to DR.. Campbells state
ment $242 ,441.00 was saved in sell
ing hogs alone on the cooperative
basis. 1t will be interesting to learn
that only $13,110.00 worth of cotton
was sold last year by the plan. Sale
of cattle comparatively saved the
farmers SS,65O.OO.

LEADERS To PRESS
FOR CA. QUOTA Of
METHODIST FUND

With the close Of the fourth year
of the giant Methodist centenary
drive for $53,0O0,0OO to extend the
work of the church around the
world, Atlanta and North Georgia
Methodists are making a concerted
effort to raise the balance of the
$2,250, 900 quota Of the North Geor-
gia conference. The campaign was
to extend through five years. end
ing in 1928.
The North and South Atlanta dis
tricts of the North Georgia confer
ence inaugurated a campaign last
Sunday to clear up all of the fourth
year subscriptions in the city. The
drive is being conducted by DR.. w.
H. LaPrade. Jr., and DR.. j. H.
Fakes, presiding elders, and by Rev.
w. T. Hunnicutt, secretary.
The increased Methodist evangel-
ism that has been made possible
by the first payments of the great
fund, has shown clearly the vital i'm
portance of the great task. BY
means of the added resources, Meth
odism has been able to girdle the
world.
Missions are now located in ST.
IBERIA Manchuria, Japan, Korea,
AChina, Mexico, Poland, Czecho-Slo-
vakia, Belgium, Africa, Cuba, Bra
zil and many other places. In ST.
IBERIA the mission gained 1000 con-
verts during the first years of its
operation. The returns from the
centenary subscriptions have tripled
the effectiveness of home mission
work, and in like measure have IN
creased the effectiveness of estab-
lished posts in foreign fields.
In 1918, a new day was born in
Methodist mission work, when DIR.
w. w. Pinson, Georgia man, con-
ceived the idea that Methodlsm
should really undertake something
in keeping with the resources of that
great denomination and commensu-
rate with the needs of the world.
The first 100 years of Methodist
missions was about to come t. a
close. DR.. Pinson originated the
idea that southern Methodism should
celebrate that first century of mis-
SlODdEy elIOEl, anu plOpOSFu IAAS
matter to the church.
His first conception was to raise
special $1,oOO,0OO fund for that
purpose. At an immense gathering
of church leaders it was deemed
duty to undertake a larger sum,
$35, 100000.
With this figure in mind, church
leaders began the effort A huge
canvass was made of the entire
church, and, when the pledges were
counted, the sum Of $53,00O,0OO had
been subscribed, payable in five
annual installments.
The North Georgia conference as
sumed for it's quota the sum of 81
$50, 900. Collections have been in
progress four years, and, according
to the statement of Rev. w. T. Hun
nicutt, conference missionary sec
rotary, this conference stands next
to highest in the amount paid in.

receive him in his bedroom. But it
was not until As hours later that il
was learned that the party had been
there and had departed. That was
the only basis for the snub report,
| it was explained today. The real
facts were that both the former
president and Mrs. Wilson had eX'
pected to receive the French hero
in the most informal fashion, but
this was made impossible by the
failure of those in charge Of the Wis.
it to consult any one in authority
at the Wilson home.
The Clemenceau visit, following
on Mr.. Wilson's Armistice day ad.
dress, has served to emphasize that
in any plans or preparations for the
next national campaign the attitude
of Mr.. Wilson himself will have to
be taken into consideration With
returned health he must be consult.
ed by the party leaders, it is de.
clared. When the San Francisco
convention was in progress he was
extremely i'll, and certain individuals
took it upon themselves to Inter.
pref his wishes. It is certain that
from now on this will be impossi.
BILE.
There is a growing belief here
that certain men who were in the
lime-light in the closing days Of
the Wilson administration, and who
have recently attempted to indicate
that Mr.. Wilson would oppose as
pirants for the Democratic presi.
Dental nomination because of an.
tipathy to their former affiliations
are likely to be rebuked when the
former chief executive decides the
time is ripe to take the public an
the Democratic workers into his con-
fidence.
But if those who should know are
right, Woodrow Wilson can be ex.
pected to emerge from his role
of 'sphynx' very soon"

girls, members of clubs fostered by
the State College of Agriculture
made products valued at $3O3,484.OO
last year, according to announce.
ment Saturday by DR.. J. Phil Camp.
bell, director of extension.
Girls clubs are organized in SO
counties with 1851 members. The
work began in 1911 with organizatio
OF two clubs. A GO To College"
fund has been started by the club
girls and as a result of this move.
ment there are 275 girls paying part
of their expenses in high and normal
schools, 121 girls in high schools on
| scholarships and 227 girls with bank
deposits.
Last year the club girls made IT,.
266 garments, saved $1,91650 by dye.
ing and remodeling clothing; sold
SIT, 353.17 worth of fresh vegetables;
canned $14,573.14 worth of fruits for
sale and use at home, and raised
$l42, 1890 worth of poultry.
According to DR.. Campbell the
program for the girls demonstration
clubs is based on a progressive, four
year plan. Each year the girl has
a garden as a basis for her work in
food preservation and cookery. At
the close Of the first year, each girl
starts a perennial garden and this
work is continued year after year
until the perennials produce suf-
| ficient income to warrant the drop
ping of the annual garden in the
| scheme of the years work.
Along with the garden is a definite
program of cookery, food preserva-
! ton and sewing which gives the girl
more or less comprehensive course
| for which it is believed high school
credit will be granted before the
close of another year. Upon the
satisfactory completion of the four.
year program a certificate is
awarded. One hundred and sixty-five
! certificates were awarded last year.

Germany to re-establish her finances
and credit and stabilize the mark,
no military action of any character
by the French and reduction of the
indemnity to between thirty and
forty million gold marks.
This statement is expected to have
the effect of making M. Poincare
more conciliatory and less inclined to
talk about military measures, al
though he himself believes that mill
tary measures would not prove very
effective. Another new element
which may help the conference is an
agreement developed tonight wheG
it became known that Carl Berg
man, German reparations chief, had
arrived in London with Chancellor
Cunos new scheme for a settlement
Herr Bergman communicated the
plan to Mr.. Bonar Law who, in turn,
probably will present it to the other
premiers later this week. He will
| submit the plan at Germany's re-
quest, and Great Britain has in no
sense approved the suggestions.
Certain changes have been made
in the plan as announced by the
! German press several days ago, and
it is reported that the idea Of an
external loan has been cropped for
a scheme of allied participation in
German industry.
America Discussed
America was prominently before
| the conference Saturday, despite the
fact that none of the customary Of
! fetal observers was present.
! Americas position regarding the
allied debts was discussed at some
length by the premiers, who ap-
parentIy agreed that any settlement
of this question for at least several
years would probably have to be
made with the United States out
of it.
There continues to be much COM
ment over the presence here OF the
American ambassadors, Houghton
and Fletcher, and United States Sen
ator Mccormick. Ambassador
Fletcher left tonight for Brussels,
but Mr.. Houghton and Senator Nc.
Cormick are remaining. 1t was said
in well informed British quarters
tonight that Great Britain wanted
to invite the United States to the
meeting, but M. Poincare opposed
this, wishing to limit the discussions
to the four allied powers.
Allied observers still are wonder
| ing if America will make her views
| known during the conference. The
British say the American view CO.
incides with theirs, and is opposed
to all forms of military pressure
and favors a moratorium. 1t IS
said in French circles that Ambassa-
dor Harvey will see certain of the
allied officials now in London. Am
bassador Houghton has insisted that
his visit to London at the same
time as the visit of Ambassador
Fletcher and Senator Mccormick is
a mere coincidence and that he has
no instructions or plans for respect
| ing the conference.

Movement Is Launched After.
Thorough Discussion OF
Problem at Group Meeting

An active and aggressive move
rnent to improve the quality and
value of the North Georgia cotton
crop by the exclusive use of choice
seed Of selected varieties, and by
the growing of cotton on COM

farmers plant only tested seed OF a
tested variety suitable to North
Georgia.
2. To aid the planters in obtain
ing such seed by providing ware
housing and shipping facilities and
by arranging credit by which they
can purchase.
8. To put on an extensive pub
Icity campaign to foster the idea
of raising better quality cotton and
to encourage the farmers to raise
their crops on community basis
so as to avoid crOss-fertilizatlon and
other evils that result in deteriora-
ton.
Committee Appointed
The committee appointed to look
after the distribution of the selected
irotn nf
financing the farmers in securing
good seed and proper fertilizers was

500, 900.
Discussion by Experts p,
The plan was adopted following
discussion of the problem by DR..
Andrew NJ. Soule, of the state col
| lege, and a number of cotton eX-
perts.
The speakers pointed out that
/ North Georgia cotton has deterior.
ated to an alarming extent within
the past few years-to such an ex-
tent that many mills have withI
drawn their buyers from this Sec
| ton.
| : DR.. Soule told of the efforts that
the state college is making to i'm.
prove the breeds Of cotton, and said
that only by better breeding, and
the better choice of seed could
North Georgia "come back" and be-
gin raising acceptable cotton.

set up a more careful system Of

years crOD.
How does that compare with
one-fourth to one-half cents per
pound? You can imagine what
a difference it has made among
our hurley growers. 1t has lift
ed them from poverty to pros
perity. 1t has lifted them spirit
ually. 1t has turned them from
defeated, desperate men, to
happy, prosperous. .contented
citizens.
You can go anywhere in the
hurley area and ask any man
you meet what the cooperative
has done for the hurley industry,
and he will tell you it has per-
formed a miracle.
And now the dark tobacco
growers have organized, and the
blue grass seed growers are pre-
pairing to organize.
Bought the Warehouses
The hurley growers, through
their association, bought prac-
tically all the hurley warehouses.
The warehouse owners did not
oppose them. They saw that
the end had come, so far as they
were concerned. In December,
1921, the hurley association took
over $7,000,000 worth Of ware
houses to be paid for at a price
to be agreed upon in June, 1922.
1t was agreed that if a price
could not be agreed upon, we
should settle them by arbitra-
ton. In not a single case was
arbitration necessary. They
tried to be fair, and we agreed
upon prices in every case. The
hurley growers in that one deal
acquired 124 of the Isl hurley
warehouses.
Ninety-five per cent Of the
hurley growers are now, in the
association, in the short space
y of one year. l do not believe
there has ever been a more re-
markable demonstration Of the
power of cooperation. There is
nothing which could induce them
to go back to the old way.

Our hurley contract, like your
cotton contract, runs for five
years. A one-year contract
would be worse than none at all.
The buyers could stay out of the
market for a year and step in
when the contract expired and
break the association to pieces.
But they cannot stay out of the
market five years.

We investigated thoroughly and
satisfied ourselves that he is the
