Bill Biffem, of the Savannah Press, sent us
Christmas card which indicated that he
was in some kind of trouble We hope it was
not as serious with him as the picture made
it appear, and that he is feeling better by
now. Anyhow, we were glad to have been
remembered by such fine fellow as old Bill.

Rice can and has been grown successful
in Georgia, especially in this section of the
state. Some years ago the late John R. Mer-
GER, who did more with his means and per-
sonal effort than any other citizen of the state
to encourage diversified agriculture, in order
to induce the farmers of this section to grow
rice for their own families and tenants fur
uished them seed at cost and installed on his
farm on the outskirts of Dawson modern
hulling plant to clean their rice. For awhile
considerable rice of excellent quality was
grown in this section, but for some reason
farmers soon lost interest and quit growing
this useful crop, with the result that the hull
ing plant ceased to operate.
AS the Athens Banner says, rice is one of
the most valuable food crops our people could
grow. A few acres would produce a suffi-
cheney for the average planters family, which
would save to him several dollars annually
which is now spent for rice grown in other
states.

Growing Rice in Georgia.

The Athens Banner asks II rice can b.
grown in Georgia. and adds:
In the early days rice growing was an
important industry in this state, especial
ly in south Georgia. South Carolina was
great rice growing state before the
civil war. Now practically all the rice
grown for market is raised in Texas,
Arkansas and Louisiana. Louisiana out
strips all other states in rice production,
and some of the greatest fields in the
country are found in that state. Many
farmers have moved from the grain pro-
ducing states in the west to Louisiana
in order to grow rice, which has proved
a profitable crop there.

Prices Reduced on
 HudsOn-EsseX Closed Cars

Substantial price reductions on Hudson and Essex coaches we're an- rounced today by M. D. Honcyman following the receipt of a speciai message from the Hudson Motor Car Co.
 The reduction results in the Hud- son Coach, closed car, now selling at less than the standard open cars on the same chassis. This Is the first time in motor car history when this has been true, it is declared. The | Hudson coach's new list price is Sl@95, as against sl400 for the 4 passenger open super-six car and $500 for the 7-passenger open car.
 The Essex coach at $945 is still slightly higher than the Essex open car, but the dfferential is declared by Hudson Essex officials to be the smallest in the industry aside from Hudson.
 This move by the Hudson Motor Car Co.--unexpected, because the last few weeks has seen a substantial number of motor car price increases is taken to mean that Hudson Es- sex now regards open cars as lux ures, and proposes to give the ad- vantage of volume production to the enclosed cars which make up at least 90 per cent of it's production. Open car and sedan prices are unchanged. The reduction was made possible, according to Hudson officials, be- cause 1924 has been the largest sales year in Hudson history, the hitherto unknown 100000 mark hav- | ing been reached about Sept i. Vol ume economies have thus been pos sible.
 Mr. Honeyman said: This advan- tage in price is made possible to buyers because Hudson Essex fol- lowed their creation of coaches with volume production. This keep Hud- son. Essex enclosed cars out of the range of price competition.
 Hudson Essex coaches are the largest selling six cylinder cars in the world, and with these sensation al new prices. are more than ever unmatched values in their held."- adVt.
