the first of the year by the House
Interstate Commerce Committee.
Similar speedy action in the Senate
is less probable.
The House committee is in better
condition to undertake consideration
of these measures than it has been
in the last several years There APP
pears to be a stronger sentiment
among committee-members for legis-
lation OF this character than before.
1t is impossible to forecast what
form of bill will emerge however.
Next in Importance to the railroad
bills, and to coal bills, the majority
Of the committee members place the
truth-in-fabric merchandising meas
ures. There will be efforts made to
place bills designed to meet the coal
situation ahead OF all other major
work by the committee.
As no single bill which has been
introduced thus far. however, meets
the recommendations made by Pres
ident Harding fully, and as the COM
mittee has not considered the vol
luminous report of the Coal Com
mission, which must be digested be-
fore any legislation on the subject
Is framed. it is not likely that all
other work can he side-tracked to
await the coal bill.
AS for the railroad legislation
there are many bills on various
phases already introduced and re-
ferred to the committee. Most OF
them, however, have TO do with re-
peal Of section 15A Of the transpor-
tation act. the so-called guarantee
clause. A test of this clause is
pending before the Supreme Court
and until the court acts, a majority
of the committee believe that legis-
lation should not be framed.
This situation then, brings the
committee TO the truth-in-merchan.
dising bills. A meeting of the com
mittee will be held early in January
to arrange its program. and severa
members will urge immediate con
sideratton OF the merchandising
bills. it was learned today.

FAYETTE FARMERS
ADOPT NEW PROGRAM
Cow, Hog and Hen TO Have
Parts in Diversified Farming
There This Year

FAYETTE, Ga, April 23.-Fay-
ette, in line with other progressive
counties, is beginning to see TIE
value of diversificatiou and her
farmers are learning that the wise
System is to raise plenty at home
TO eat and also that there are other
money crops besides cotton. The
hog, COW and hen program has been
needed, and permanent prosperity
looms.
A County Chamber of Commerce
recently organized, has outlined a
plan that is bound to win out, ard
it is being met over the county
with enthusiasm and will be used
by many wideawake, hustli~g farm
.ers who see the handwriting on the
wall as far as the 'ono-way' crop
is concerned. At the same time it
has been proved profitable to plant
only five or six acres of cotton to
the horse and cultivate this small
acreage intensively ard never let
up on the boil weevil. Last year
Fayette produced considerable
crop of white Spanish peanuts
which was disposed of at good cash
prices. II is now estimated that T.
eco to 10000 acres will be planned
to this crop this year.
Nearly 1000 bales Of Gotten were
produced last year and is said tina.
only 10000 to 10000 acres were
planted The farmer who used cal
cium arsenate in the right mann er

ator W. j. Harris of Georgia, to,
day said.
My bill to stop the placing Of
steel passenger ears in front Of or
between wooden cars has passed. the
senate and is pending the house
interstate commerce Committee
The bill is designed to give the
people IN the day coaches the same
protection as those riding in steel
Pullman cars. If wooden cars arc
placed between the engine and steel
cars as now permitted and a wreck
occurs, there will be greater loss
of life and injuries to those in tbo
day coaches than in steel cars Tho
steel cars may be placed next to
the engine if there are woodan
passenger cars in the train. do
not believe the legislation will in
tertere with the operation Of anv
ralroad, and on the other hand i
will increase the protection and
preeaution given to the TRAVELLING
pubic. The bill has been favor
ably recommended by the Inter.
