SAFE FARMING Plan
INSURES BANK AID
Georgia Bankers VIII Give
Financial Assistance to Plant
ers Who Diversity

ATLANTA; April 3O.@Back from
their annual meeting at Augusta,
Georgia bankers made it clear here
today that farmers would be given
material aid in the movement that
is NOW in progress to make DIVERSE
fled agriculture general in the state
and the South, and to supplant the
old one-crop way of farming with
the safe and profitable farming plan
of producing more feed and food
crops along with the cotton crop.
"Sae farming" it was asserted
by Atlanta bankers, not only bene-
fits the farmers who do it, but it
helps merchants in all towns that
look to the farmers or business ana
it is therefore a help to the banks
in such towns, it was shown, for
through the prosperity of the farm
ers and business men comes the
prosperity the banks enjoy.
The bankers declare that ample
food and feed for home needs
should be produced at home. This
they point out, should receive first
consideration.
More poultry and dairy cattle are
needed, it was also stated, a good
market is assured for dairy and
poultry products and conditions fav-
or the prouction of such products
in Georgia, statet both bankers and
agriculturists.
Farmers are urged to use calcium
arsenate literally in fighting the
boil weevil. 1t was also pointed out
that profits will come only through
reducing the acreage per plow and
increasing the yields per acre.

FAVOR TARIFf VIEWS
OF OSCAR UNDERWOOD
Atlanta Business Men and Man
ufacturers Endorse Attacks
of Albanian On Law

ATLANTA, April 30.-U. s
Senator Oscar w. Underwood, now
recognized as one of the best in
formed men in the United States on
the question of the tariff is will adj
vised according to Atlanta business
men and manufacturers, in the at
tacks he has been making as a can
didate for the presidency on the
Fordney-McCumber law, which, it
was asserted is one of the most
ubiquitous bills enacted by con-
gress since the day of Payne, Aid
rich and their kind.
The Fordney-McCumber tariff, it
was pointed out here, marks de-
parture in that it contains a SEM
blance of flexibility in the provision
giving the President power to amend
its schedules when necessary; but in
spite of that fact, it remains it was
claimed a predatory statute, conceiv,
ed in the interest of the few and
devying a tax of billions on the
American people as a whole for
the benefit of the special interests.
Mr.. Underwood has we'll said,
according to many democratic
leaders here, that the only way to
stabilize farm prices and to restore
prosperity is by providing a market
for the farmers surplus. AS was
pointed out, European markets
which have been closed since the
war must be re-opened, but the Re-
publican party has done nothing IN
tn atdirection.
Reports received here indicate
the growing popularity of Senator
Underwood in many sections of the
country and his chances for the
nomination at the national democra-
tic convention are said to be as
good as any other candidate.

In the Torres Straits Islands in the East Indies,
there are no trees suitable for canoe building.
80 the natives, cruel, treacherous race, i'm
port their canoes from the Fly River Delta in
New Guinea another place with an unenvi-
able reputation. The distance between these
two places IS over four hundred miles, and no
native IN that region travels even one-quarter
of the distance:
The word is simply passed on from tribe to
tribe. On the strength of this vague order
canoe is built. Then it is relayed back Each
tribe of bloodthirsty cannibals tests and dis
cusses it before passing it on. Finally the pay
ment, shell necklaces spear points, arm
bands, makes its may to the canoe builders in
the same leisurely fashion
There is reason for this honesty in savages to
whom perfidy is natural If any of the parties
In this complicated transaction were to risk be-
ing dishonest, their credit would be ruined
And though these natives may kill and eat
each other they hold barter invioIate.
Even savages understand that in commerce it
pays to be honest, and to let the world realize
your honesty! SO in modern business Adj
vertlslng must be honest and il is a proof of
guarantee Of its quality, usefulness and value.
The man who advertises is inviting your in
specton. He is letting his goods stand ON
their own merit. He can't afford to deceive
you. You can depend on him. That's whv it
pays to read advertising and to buy advertis-
ed goods.
Anyone can spend money-the reader of
advertisements spends it wisely
Spend your money with
your local merchants
and the money stays at
home where it viii i'm
time return TO you
When you BUY advertised goods from one of
your local merchants you are KEEPING your
money at home, where it will come back to
you. .l4t
When you buy OUT OF TOWN, you are
leaving just that much money out of the coun-
ty, none of which is likely ever to return. 1t
is LOST, SO far as YOU are concerned.
When you buy merchandise advertised in your
local paper you are stimulating local trade,
encouraging the merchant to advertise again
to send you other messages Of what he has
on his shelves bought for you
You also are adding just that much to the in
come of your local paper, which means a bet
ter home paper You may not realize it, but
the local merchants advertising makes it pos
slble TOR you to buy your paper for So or 81
year instead of paying 5 or $40 That's what
it would cost you but for LOCAL advertising.

Some members of the finch
sparrow tribe of birds have large
bills and as a consequence are known
as gresbeaks Examples are the
pine, evening, cardinal, blue, and
rose-hreasted grosbeaks. The rose
breasted grosbeak is no doubt our
most common grosbeak and is one of
the mostlbeautiful as well. Further
more. II is wonderful songsiRr; in
fact, it is one of the best of all
featbered songsters.
The male is richly dressed in
black, white and rose-red. He is
black above, has white outer tail
feathers white patch low down on
the back and two white spots on
the wings The lining of his wings
and a sbieldshaped patch on the
breast are ,rose-red in color. The
bill is white. The female is rather
plainly dressed. She is as Nellie
Blanchan remarks, "A streaked,
brown bird. resembling an over
grown sparrow. with a thick, exag-
gerated finch bill and a conspicuous
white eyebrow. -
The rose-hreast's song resembles
somewhat the song of the scarlet
tanager and some of the more
pleasant, warble-like notes of the
robin. Chapman speaks of it as a
Joyous carol" He says: There is
an exquisite purity in the joyous
carol of the grosbeak; his song tells
of all the gladDess of May morn
ing; | have beard few happier
strains of bird-music.' Burroughs
speaks of its song as that richly
modulated MARBLE 1T is a strong,
yivacious strain" lie continues, "a
bright MONDAY song, full of health
and assurance, indicating fine talents
in the performer, but not genius"

garden and field crops, often laying
waste acres of land The potato
beetle as is well known destroys
potato vines, while aphids or plant
lice destroy entire crops of melons,
cucuniners, and other crops. In
fact, fe@' plants are entirely immune
to the attacks of the small but de-
structive aphids. Even weeds are
not immune to their attacks and
many persistent ones succumb to the
pests Leaves of the plants at

seen all curled up, sure sign that

Our bard, however, it not noted
for is nest building ability. The nest
is a frail poorly-built affair made of
twigs, weeds and rogtlets that is
barely cayable of holding the eggs
saald young birds. 1t is quite similar
to the crude nests made by mourn
ing doves, rcuckoos, and tanagers.
Two years ago, | found a groskeak S
nest that had been built in the top
of a small willow. The willow stood
in q great marshy thicket and the
nest in many ways was in very safe
place. However, it fell entirely to
pieces before the young birds were
ready to leave lit of their own accogd, ,
forcing them to live elsewhere for at
least few days before they reachs d
maturity.
The male is known far and wide a S
a model husband, taking his turn at
incubating the eggs and brooding
the young birds. In fact, he is
oftener to be found at home ON the
nest than is the female. That was
the case with the owners of the nest
mentioned in the preceding para
graph He sometimes sings when
on the nest, though in low tones so as
not to disclose it's whereabouts.

beaks very numerous along the
shores of Lake Michigan and in the
valleys of the Mississippi and Red
River of the North. They usually
