A THOUGHT
DOWN SOUTH
IN GEORGIA.

North Georgia's hills, mountains
and valleys are a source of won-'
der and admiration to native and
traveller, but to TIE farmer, the
man who loves The soil and whose
admiration for growing crops
knows no boand-South Georgia
now is one OF the most beautiful
spots on the face u the globe.
Soon the Paradise of Peaches
will be a busting hive of pickers
and packers. The most perfect
stands Of cotton meet the eye in
every direction. The pastures are
dotted here and there with thor
oughbred pigs and much cattle.
Wheat and oat fields are leaning
with thei@ burden of grain. Pecan
groves are in full leaf.
As the l9bor supply diminishes,
the wise planter is substituting
machinery. Possibly the day is not
far distant when the tractor win
displacc the mule. Certainly this
land of plenty is splendidly adapt
ed to machinery, as the Atlanta
Georgian says in the following edi-
torial, headed Down South in
Georgia."
Those who have been in South
Georgia this spring report that
farming operations down there are
on a large scale, and-more i'm
portant-on a new basis.
Cotton is being planted extern
sively, but cultivated more inten-
sively than ever before. Large
areas are being set in pecan and
peach orchards, as well as berries.
The dewberry and the strawberry
are being grown on commercial
scale, in contrast to the all-cotton
era-when they took up waste
space in the garden.
The melon acreage is also good.
Poultry and dairying are being
carried on successfully on many
farms.
To a North Georgian, South
Georgia is in the nature of prai-
RE country Up here in the At
lanta vicinity twenty level acres
are exceptional; but down there,
the horizon is the limit. y
That sort of land lends itself
admirably to the use of machinery.
Henry Ford's farm ideas would
find free scope in South Georgia.
When farming is done largely by
machinery, which is a matter of a
short time off, South Georgia,
agTiculturally, will be the show
place of the nation.
For there the prairie land would
be planted, not in grain alone, as
in the West, but in a dozen diff
ferent crops-with as many har-
vest seasons, beginning with the
early spring berries and ending
with cotton and the late maturing
grain crops.
No other panorama could be as
fascinating.

AUTOS AND COTTON
IN TWO COUNTIES.

The handy man with figures
who presides over the destinies of
that ably edited paper, the Daw-
son News, in this weeks issue, in
a well timed editorial gives some
interesting statistics on automo-
biles and cotton in Sumter and
Terrell counties which we wish to
pass on to our readers. Editor
Rainey's editorial is we'll worth
bordering over. He says:
Have you thought Of what auto
mobiles are costing the people of
this section?
Terrell county raised $4,000
bales of cotton in 1922; Sumter
county, its near neighbor, raised
lust a little more. The two coun-
ties together raised $4,000 bales.
The whole state raised 100000
bales. Terrell and Sumter raised
1T of the entire cotton crop of
the state, and there are 100 coun-
ties in the state. If the other
counties had done as we'll in pro
portion Georgia would have raised
100000 bales.
Terrell county's cotton crop, in
GLIDING the seed, was worth 49,
100000. Pretty good for small
county with only $40 square miles.
We do not know what Sumter
county did with the money she
received for her cotton crop, but
we presume that most of it went
for automobiles, as did Terrells.
There are 1900 automobiles IN
Terrell county. They cost an av-
erage of 1000 each, or $780,
600 The average life of an auto
mobile will not exceed four years.
The entire capital invested in an
automobile will be consumed in
chat length of time This means
loss of capital of 100000 a.
year. The interest on $1,000
600 at 8 per cent is $4,000 2.
year, which is total loss. This
is not all. The upkeep of an auto
mobile, including gas, oil and ga
rage bills, will easily run to $50
per month or $500 per year, or
for 200 automobiles the net lit
tie sum of $4,000 year.
Thus we have 100000 loss in
capital, $4,000 loss in interest
and S720,O00 for upkeep expenses,
or S1,11G,000 for the total cost of
automobiles for Terrell county for
each year This is more than
one-third Of the total value of its
cotton crop.
What is the answer?

THE GEORGIA
INDUSTRIAL BUREAU.

The Georgia Industrial Bureau,
born of the recent organization
known as Georgians, Inc, began
Tuesday a work for the industrial
development of Georgia which
promises to start more mill wheels
turning, bring more capital to
Georgia, and turn into power pro-
ducing plants the millions of wa
terpower now going to waste daily,
The new name of the organiza-
ton chosen because it more near
ly expresses the work it expects
to do. was adopted at a meeting
at Macon Tuesday of delegates
from all over the state. The dele
gates were men Of high stand, who
have accomplished great things for
their own sections and for the
state as a whole.
No state in the union is more
blessed with raw materials than
tie Empire State. Prosperity lies
in converting these raw materials
j2ihto finished product.
For generations Georgia has paid
heavy tribute to the manufactur-
ing sections of the East by send
ing her raw materials elsewhere
to be turned into finished prod
uct,
a. We send dimes worth of clay
70 Ohio and buy it back in the
form of vase for S25.00. Our
Job is to keep that $24.90 at
home" B. Meflin Hood said to the
delegates at Macon Tuesday.
To accomplish this, we must
have trained men, men whose
{ scientific knowledge enables them
.toa see opportunity and grab it.
The reason textiles are located in
4ne Northeast is because trained
textile brains were corraned in the
Northeast.
The South has the brains to
train; the South has the raw ma
terials, Coordinate these forces

"Wel, Santa Claus must be quite elderly now"
The little boys uncle averred.
A frown overloaded the little boys brow,
His blue eyes grew just a bit blurred;
In vigorous protest he shook his small head,
The faith of his heart tolphold,
And with deep conviction he boyishly said,
Jaw, Santa Claus doesn't get od".
NO sage ever spoke any weightier word
More freighted with glorious truth,
The myths and the legends that childhood has heard
Are lowered with undying youth;
So Feter Pan doesn't grow up with the years,
But ever is blthesome and bold,
And Alice in Wonderland ageless appears
And Santa Claus doesn't get old!
Little Red Riding Hood still is child
And Hop O. My Thumb still boy,
The fairies and goblins that through the wild
Keep always their youth and their joy;
While tales repeated or lullabes sung
Sweet Godilocks' hair will be gold,
Prince Charming will nevermore cease to be young,
And Santa will get old

WEATHER and CROPS

TRENTON, Aug. 16:-Synopsis of
weather and crop conditions in New
Jersey for the week ending Tuesday,
August IA:
Rain fell in varying volume over
nearly all portions of the State ex-
cept the southeastern on Sunday, af-
ter a dry period of seven days. Day.
ime temperatures were moderately
high, with bright sunshine and some
what oppressive humidity, but it
urned correspondingly cool in the
early morning hours Immediately be-
ore sunrise. There was not enough
rain, and the recovery of plant
growth was slower than in the pre-
ceding week. Grass grew rapidly
and meadows and pastures are get
ting into fair condition ard are green
almost everywhere. Corn is filling
out the ears fairly well but it is
possibly showing some i'll effects of
the drought earlier in the season.
Peaches are coming to market in
very acceptable quality, but the size
of both peaches and apples is slight
ly deficient. Tomatoes, sweet pota-
toes, lima beans and sweet corn are
fairly satisfactory, and are yielding
better than earlier prospects seemed
to indicate. which Is usually the case.
Potatoes and oats have provided the
least satisfactory Cranber-
ries continue to receive favorable
reports. Flowing fo- fall seeding of
grass and winter progresses; in
some cases the ground is too dry and
the work is retarded, in others it is
we'll advanced.
