| tory manner for the past twelve
years.
Watermelons. The melon growers
have had enough experience, and
have been in the business long
enough to organize a successful
state exchange.
Sweet Potatoes. 1t does not seem
| to be advisable to try to organize
a state exchange for sweet potatoes
just at the present time, but advise
working to this end as soon as prac-
ticable.
We believe that state exchanges
should control about 60 per cent of
the marketable commodity to insure
safe distribution. go.
We suggest that municipal mar
kets be tried out where the farmers
and city people favor same.
After serious consideration and
study of the problems that the Geor-
| gia farmer faces in marketing his
produce, it is apparent that the most
outstanding problem of all is meet
ing competition on the market. To
meet this competition successfully,
he faces several problems, among
which are the following:
| 1. Quality. This is probably the
| hardest competitor for Georgia farm
products other than cotton. Under
| quality we have to consider not only
the actual quality of the goods, but
| also the grade and pack, suitable
containers, the condition in which
the product reaches the market and
the manner in which it holds up aft
er it gets there and advertising.
z. Quantity. The farmer to meet
competition must market his COM
modify in carlots or in such quaint
ties as will keep down the overhead
cost Of handling.
3. Cost Of production. It is evil
dent that if the Georgia farmer let's
it cost him more to produce a car
load of sweet potatoes than it costs
the farmer in Virginia or some other
state to grow and market a carload,
he cannot compete with the farmer
from the other sections in market
ing his potatoes. Therefore, it is
necessary for the Georgia farmer to
study carefully his own conditions
and methods of production and COM
pare them with the methods Of his
competitor.
4. Cost of marketing. After all,
marketing is about Is per cent edu-
cation. Therefore, unless the farm
err has educated himself to the point
where he can put on the market a
commodity equal to the best in quail
ity and appearance in such quanti-
ties that will enable him to handle
it at the minimum expense and pro-
duce his crop at the lowest possible
cost per acre, he will not be in posi-
ton to meet competition and create
a demand for his product which will
make selling easy and leave him a
fair margin of profit.
About the only crops of any i'm
portance that Georgia produces
surplus Of is cotton, hogs, peaches,
watermelons and sweet potatoes.
Most other general farm crops could
be and should be used within the
state.
On this list of surplus crops, hogs
and sweet potatoes have been most
recently developed. By looking back
over the development of the hog and
sweet potato industries in Georgia,
it will be noted that the progress

Do Not Abandon Old.Fashioned


industries
A very nice letter from a North
Carolina lady, informs me she is
making domestic rugs, which she
weaVes on an old-fashioned loom,
and she uses the strongest cotton
warp, and the result is fine. Nearly
everybody accumulates rags, and a
rag bag, may not be attractive but
it is useful, and very handy, for
domestic economy. Truly. nothing
should be destroyed that has any
appreciative value
There are new fashioned looms
that can be used with electricity,
and they are very nice indeed, and
turn off excellent rugs. The Geor-
gia Training School for Girls has
one, and the weavers have utilized
the rags and badly worn garments
until they have placed a rug of good
quality in the room Of every occu-
pant in the three big dormitories.
The rags are 'efully dyed and the
rugs are decidedly attractive.
In country places the old-fashloned
looms must have treadles for the
feet and the shuttles must be thrown
across by hand, but these looms are
eminently worthy of proper appre-
citation.
My North Carolina friend would
like a market for her abundant
supply of rugs on hand. If she will
send an "ad' to the Tri-Weekly
Journal, with address, she might
find a good many people, who have
no loom and might like some of
these useful and enduring rugs for
farm homes. Before I leave this

that stood the wear and tear, finely.
1t is not difficult to make good wear
ing homemade blankets also. if you
have wool enough to supply the
filing used along with well-spun
factory thread for warp.
THE POSTOF'FICE BUSINESS OF
THE GOVERNMENT
The appropriations committee in
the house of representatives has at
this time a bill providing the money
to run the postoffice business Of the
United States during the fiscal year
ending on June 80, 1923. The story
of this business is an amazing affair,
as set down in dollars and cents. The
people of this country, excepting
comparatively few persons directly
connected with the income and out
lay, know next to nothing about it.
We might dig another Panama canal
which cost $40O, 100000, every year,
with less money than it takes to
serve the people Of the United States
with the delivery Of papers and let
ters.
In the capital at Washington there
are four divisions of this business,
the postmaster general, with four
assistants, are at work all the time.
These assistants are known as first,
second, third and fourth assistants.
They presented each an estimate for
their particular divisions:
First assistant to post

Second assistant to post

POINTS to Be Considered in the Or
SamzatiOn and Selling of Farm
Products

SaLuZdtlOn and Selling OF Farm
Products
The universal interest exhibited
IN marketing at this time is not sur.
pfls1ng. When times are good and
money is abundant people buy Law
lshly, and even though there may
De production there is still an
excellent demand for the products
OF the soil. This demand tends to
maintain and even raise prices. AT
such times there is little concern
evidenced in the disposition of our
farm animals and truck and fruit
crops. Now when our market seems
TO be stagnated, however, and when
1t is difficult to sell anything, even
at the cost of production, conditions
are essentially changed. Our people
want aid and advice about every
subject that will help them to- dis
pose of their crops acceptably.
There is an impression that the
marketing of crops can be brought
about effectively and in very short
time by the establishment of CO.
operative organizations of commu-
nifty, statewide, or nationwide pro-
portions. These organizations can
help very materially, and have nat
urally done very effective work in
many localities. On the other hand,
they have their. limitations. We
should not overlook this fact, but
should take into consideration and
study carefully at times like these
ali the agencies which may be made
or service in helping us to market
our crops successfully. To that, end,
a. short outline of the plan and pro-
cedure which is likely to prove most
effective in the successful handling,
distribution and marketing of some
OF our principal farm crops is set
forth below
A good deal of emphasis has been
laid also on the necessity of grad
ing our crops so that the highest
standards of quality will be empha-
sized and maintained. We must also
give careful consideration to the cost
or production and marketing and
other fundamental factors. If we do
this / think we will avoid some of
the pitfalls we are otherwise likely
10 step into, and I am sure this is
desirable because of the many dis
appointments our producers have al
ready suffered. Let us go about this
question of organizing for marketing
IN a rational manner and use every
agency at our command as effective
ly as possible.
Organization. 1t seems that under
present conditions in Georgia some
attention should be given to local
organizations for the sweet potato
growers, watermelon growers, and,
IN some instances, the truck and
vegetable growers.
1t is no doubt the safest and most
economical system to begin with
small organizations and build up to
larger organizations. 1t is probably
true also that the Georgia farmer
will have to learn cooperation in a
small way first before large ex-
changes will be successful.
Apples. The Consolidated Apple
Growers exchange, of Cornelia,
Ca, has just been formed, which
amounts to a state organization.
Peaches. The growers are already
organized through the Georgia Fruit
exchange, which organization has
been doing business in satisfac-

Blue Lake Appears
Where Lawn Once Was

POLAR BLUFF, Mo.-That it is
a peculiar sensation to wake up in
the morning and find ones front
yard turned from a nice, grassy
lawn into a blue lake is vouched for
by Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Burkett, liv-
ing mile north of Keenor Cave.
A few mornings ago, while getting
breakfast early, Mrs. Burkett heard
a rumbling sound like an earth
quake, but paid no attention to it.
At daybreak she looked out her front
door and there was lake forty or
fifty feet wide and twenty-six feet
deep.
The pool was no doubt caused by
the subterranean stream which feeds
the keenor springs fully a mile
south. The water was of a different
color from nearby surface streams.

Mr.. Sisson, q. Democratic con-

forward these figures. He is on the
committee to appropriate the money
to run the postoffice business.
He gave out the following also, a
few days ago:
1.-THE federal government now
owes in round figures twenty-five
billions of dollars.
"The interest onu that amount
has got to be paid. What are you
doing to reduce expenses? If you
take away the labor profits in tax
alton, you are paying out such sums
in official salaries and to clerks, you
ar, going to bankrupt the govern
ment. There never ~-as a govern
ment that added a dollar to wealth
by heavy taxation. The taxation of
government then becomes a curse
and not a blessing"

be interested in these official figures

eminent. 1t is your right and your
privilege to be thus informed. Ard
