Rebuying Our Products.
From the Macon News.

The situation is bad enough when we real
ize that Georgia does not feed herself, but
buys from other states thousands of dollars
worth of commodities which might just as
we'll be produced right here in our borders.
The condition of affairs is even worse as
we realize when we learn that many of our
products are shipped out of the state and
sold back to us again with the label of dis
tant firm.
In a speech before the Kiwans club at
Columbus a short time ago DR.. Soule of the
State College of Agriculture said that Geor-
gians are today buying butter, bearing the
label of a Chicago packing house, which in
point of fact was produced right here in
the state.
The foregoing leads the Jacksonville Times
Union to say:
I'VE hear a great deal about freight rates
and it is often proposed to have them reduc-
cd 1t would be much better to avoid freight
rates entirely except when they are necessary.
The south produces more corn in proportion
to population than the balance of the coun-
try, and yet southern merchants buy their
corn from the west They would save half of
the freight by buying it as near home as
possible. In production the south receives
the low prices that are paid in minor markets
for products, and in consumption it pays the
higher prices that are paid far from the
sources of production. The south has habit
Of paying freight whether any freight should
be paid or not and it could avoid this, sell at
a higher price and buy at lower one if its
people could be made to understand that
consumers for southern products could be
found in the south and that products sufi-
cient for the needs Of the southern consum-
ers could also be found near home"
Could there be more eloquent or more
timely lesson in the necessity of perfecting
cur marketing facilities than is contained in
the preceding facts? We think not
1t has required lot of education to in
duce the farmers Of Georgia to raise more
cows and hogs and poultry. They have been
taught scientific methods, and have put them
into practice.
But it goes without saying that all the
money in the pockets OF the producers unless
scientific methods of marketing are also
evolved

Nobody Knows.
From the Moultrie Observer.


The American Cotton Association, of which
]. S. Wannamaker of SouthCarolina is the
president has fixed the selling price of cot
ton at thrty-six cents a pound.
This association has not only fixed the sell
ing price of cotton, but it has announced the
cost of producing cotton in the various states
The cost runs all the way from eighteen to
forty cents a pound Georgians will be inter
ested, though they may be skeptcal, to hear
from President Wannamaker that it costs
thirty-three cents a pound to produce the
staple in this state. There are some who
will read this who will sadly admit that it
are many others who have raised it for thirty
three cents and for less. Hardly any two
men in the state have had the same cost in
producing cotton. Very few have any definite
idea as to what it costs them to grow it.
There is no business in the world about
which there is as little known relative to
costs as the business OF farming. Very few
farmers keep books, except the simple little
time books and single entry ledgers which
they make charges Of advances to laborers
or tenants.
Cost finding has not been very we'll estab-
lished on the farm. There is hardly any bus
more than farming and the live stock bust
ness, but we have been slow to get started
Some of the colleges have tried to introduce
bookkeeping on the farm, but this is really
not cost finding system. 1t is hardly more
than record of expenditures and receipts.
1t would be interesting to know the aver
age cost of growing corn, potatoes, peanuts
velvet beans, oats, peavine hay, cane syrup
etc The information would be valuable
enough to justify considerable expense in
ascertaining it.

Taxation Is VexatiOn.
From the Atlanta Georgian.


Whether competition really is "the life of
trade" is doubtful. At any rate, that ancient
maxim is not held in such high regard as
once it was. However,
The Dawson News, one of the very best
of the Georgia weeklies-printed down in
Terrell county, whence one almost may look,
across the line into Florida-in its current
issue says this:
"The Florida legislature passed a con-
stitutiona amendment declaring against
an income tax for Is years. 1t is said that
millionaires from all over the United
States are changing their residence to
Florida. These men, reports state, are
investing millions OF dollars in Florida
lands and buildings, and, of course, pay
taxes on them. But they do not have to
pay state income tax.
Citizens who think the matter of tax re-
vision in Georgia, now pending before the
legislature, is anything less than a highly
complex undertaking have another think com
ing. While we are seeking a system satisfac-
tory to Georgia we also must keep our most
eagle eye on Florida, Alabama, Tennessee
and the Caroinas-or something may drop.
And whatever the Georgia legislature sub
mts by way of remedy" that later must
run the gauntlet of the peoples approval
It's a great life we're living nowadays-if

Keep Your Eyes ON Slaton.
From the Griffin News and Sun.


Former Governor John NJ Slaton is in
the limelight these days and predictions are
being made freely that he will soon re-enter
public life, which is gratifying news to
thousands of friends of the ex-governor who
feel that he did not have square deal while
serving as chief executive at one of the most
critical moments in the states history.
Speaking of the probable re-entry of Gov
ernor Slaton into public life, The Dawson
News says:
"A number of prominent weekly news
papers of the state are calling on Hon.
Tohn NJ Slaton to re-enter public life.
The News is not informed as to whether
the former governor has any ambition
in that direction, but it is an assured fact
that there are thousands of his fellow
citizens who would again honor him.
Mr. Slaton's views on public questions
are sound and safe, and Georgia needs
in high position men of his stamina and
ability
Governor Slaton made Georgia one of
the best chief executives that it ever had. AS
The News suggests, his views on public
questions were safe and sound but we need
men in our high public offices who have the
kind Of character and ability that the former
governor has. Men like Governor Slaton are
needed in the great work that Georgia is do
ing and the people of the state should keep
their eyes on Governor Slaton-he is coming
back strong at no very distant date.

Are Not the Same.

Editor Dawson News: We are writing to
ask that you point out to your city reporter
and your proof reader that the American
Red Cross does not issue nor has any con-
necton with the Christmas seals sold yearly
under the auspices OF the Anti-Tuberculosis
Association. While this is natural mistake
them in heads as "Red Cross Seals" leads
every year to an unfortunate misunderstood
ing by the public The seal campaign comes
at the close of our annual roll call, Novem-
her 10Th, and confusion of the two leads to
criticism of us fol- holding what the public
thinks two consecutive campaigns for funds.
The Red Cross. makes an appeal for mem
bers once every year, and relies on the re-
spouse of this for support. Although there
is a very close and cordial cooperation be-
tween the Anti-Tuberculoss Association and
the American Red Cross we have no hnan-
the excellent cooperation you are giving us,
am, VIM. b. TAYLOR,
Director Public Information.

Price-fxing is theory which has been
much agitated of late in this country. In fact,
we are told by some political wiseacres that
it is to become one of the outstanding issues
Of the coming session of congress We do not
believe it, and we base this doubt solely on
the good common sense of the American
people. Theoretical economists soon ought to
learn that the natural law of supply and de-
mand is as immutable as the law of gravita-
ton Price-hxing may be all right in theory,
but it crumbes like a house of sand in fact.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.

She was paying her first visit to a cousin
who lived in the country. He met her at the

gathered around it were several pigs.

Former Gov. Frank Lowden, of Illinois,
says he gets more fun out of being president
of the Holstein association than he did as
governor. Some of the governors friends
think he ought to be president of the Unit
ed States, but if he were exalted to that high
office he probably would conclude that the
more he knew of people the better he liked
cows.

Georgia Press Talk.

The Triton Gazette has good word for the
sturdy and patient mule, which did its "bt'
toward winning the war Our contemporary
has this to say:
Army authorities report that the army
mule is gradually passing out of use, due
mainly to the increasing number of mo-
tor trucks in the army transport service.
But, should another war come, we believe
the old mule will be in demand when a
hard pull is needed, even as he was in
the world war. A mule, or team of mules,
can carry a wagon where no truck or
tractor can, especially near the firing line,
where the noise of motor is sure to
draw fire.
Them good old days were not what they
are cracked up to be i'll the opinion of the
Worth County Local, which remarks:
OF course you often meet the o1d-tim-
ers who insist that these are extremely
degenerate days and that things were
much better in their youth. Still it is
our guess that few old-timers would be
willing to go back to the days of the OK
cart, the hoop skirt and biscuit on Sun
day morning only. 1t is habit more
than anything else to talk about them
good old times long ago.
