ATLANTA, Ga.-Former Govern

NEGRO LEADER GIVES
VIEWS ON EXODUS
APPEALS TO PRESS AND PEG
PIE, AND TELLS HOW TO
STOP MIGRATION.

Editor Dawson News: The subject
of migration is constantly being dis
cussed by newspapers all over Amer
lea. Negro farmers have lett Georgia
by the thousands, are still leaving
and if our economic conditions IN the
rural districts do not change others
are likely to follow.
AT first only the shiftless farmer
left; now the best farmers are going.
We do not want them to go. Not only
because we believe Georgia is the
best place for the law abiding, thrifty,
industrious negro farmer, but because
we believe that the law abiding, thrlt-
ty. industrious negro farmer is best
for Georgia. and that when he is made
TO see this point. all other things be-
ing equal, the negro farmer will pillow
his field with contentment, harvest
his crops with satisfaction and make
the soils OF Georgia yield forth abund-
ant crops, and it is with this thought
in mind | write to you seeking your
cooperation, knowing that the press
of the country directs the thoughts OF
the people and as a result largely in
fluences their actions.
The newspapers can do more to
control migration than all the laws
passed by the state legislature to pre-
vent the operation OF labor agents by
simply publishing from time to time
something definite and concrete, show
ing where negro farmers all over
Georgia are progressing, making good
crops, owning land and receiving the
proper protection due any law abid-
ing citizen. Force will not make a
man live in a free country, but happi-
ness and contentment will, and when
thousands of negro farmers read in
the daily and weekly papers OF how
John Doe did this or that they be-
come encouraged to do likewise and
hundreds who have left will return to
their native land, many OF whom were
forced away because of dire necessi-
ties of life
The Negro Extension Staff with its
agents located at the Georgia State
Industrial college working under the

this bulletin concrete statements will

BUILDING INDUSTRY NOW HAS FINE .o CHANCE TO BOOM, BABSON BELIEVES

1 have caused, If present indications arc l reliable the next few years will bring l forth some remarkable changes in the
 customs and methods of building
 houses. If builder is to keep a con tinuous flow of new business, he must lead in this procession with the chief aim of producing homes for the great majority. Every 10 per cent that the l cost of attractive homes can bereduc- l ed will increase the field of possible prospects by 5oo.0o0 to 1,00o,o00 peo- ple.
 During the past few months no less than q dozen leading architects have l brought to my attention plans which they NC developing whereby comfort able, livable homes can be built for much less than the usual cost. Some of these methods probably will prove impractical, but some Of them are going to help in producing houses which the average man can afford to live in. They vary widely in method but all aim at the same purpose. Most This, by the way, is exactly what has happened in every other industry when labor costs have become ex- orbitantly high.
 some architects have found that certain of the features in the usual house which add to the expense can be successfully eliminated. Others have attacked the problem on the principle of quantity production. hap J t,, tlp oF more economical planning so that de- lays and holdups in the work are al most entirely eliminated.
 The idea that people are always going to have to strain the last notch in order to get together the rent each month is absolutely fallacious. When a number of people greatly need a certain thing someone always finds a way to get it for them. Moreover, such service usually carries with it the greatest reward. This present need for lower priced dwellings and lower rents represents such an opportunity.
 From the investors point of view the present situation in the building industry suggests three things.
 Earnings of the industrial concern supplying the building industry will depend during the next few years upon whether or not the builders grasp their present opportunities. The situation should he watched carefully by those interested in the securities of this group or building supply con- ccrns.
 "The investment builder faces the opportunity directly. There is little question but he will profit both by turning his attention 10 developments along the line of groups Of less eX- pensive houses than by continuing his activities In the higher price fields.
 Finally, the average investor has an opportunity in well located subur- ban land. Thousands upon thousands or modest homes will be built during the next few years. The automobile has broken the transit limitation which has heretofore bound our cities. The trend will be in favor of suburbs and the investor who puts a part Of his funds in well selected suburban property at fair price,

casts for Long Ways on.
 Washington, Nov. 9.--Pay no atten- tion to forecasts of next winters weather or predictions of weather conditions for long peroods in the fu- ture, is the advice of the Weather Bureau.
 A prediction from New England that the coming winter will be the coldeSt and snowiest winter in his tory in that section of the country has led the government officials 10 disclaim any responsibility for the forecast. The Weather Bureau does not attempt to issue predictions even of general character for weeks or months in advance. The subject of forecasting for seasons or consider able periods ahead has long engaged the attention of meteorological scien- lists, but thus far, weather experts here say, no laws of sequences have been discovered whereby long-range forecasts of reliable character can be made.
 Reputable scientists throughout the world agree that the science has not advanced to the point where that can be done. Thus the government ex- perts throw down the predictions of goose bone weather prophets" and the forecasts which appear in alma macs and calendar a year in advance.
