PERCENTAGE ON-TIME

For several months past the Sea-

siderable progress towards operation
OF all trains on-time.
The last few months the percentage
has averaged around 96.1 to 97.6, and
figures just compiled for the month
of August show 9S.l.
II has been the policy of Seaboard
officials to produce an enviable record
for on-time performance of its trains,
and with the help and cooperation OF
its employees the results of their et-
forts are manifested in the figures just
announced.
Several divisions made record as
high as oo.8, and each division is striv-

preaching winter season it is hopeo
to even better the high mark set fol

Sweet Potato Crop
Way Under Normal
Early Potatoes Bring Good Price In
South Georgia Section

Valdosta, Sept. 1.-THE sweet po-
tato crop of South Georgia is less
than half of normal crop this season.
according to J. K Simmons, General
Manager of the Georgia Sweet Pota-
to Growers Association. The acreage
this year is way under normal accord
ing to Mr.. Simmons, and the extreme
drouth of the past two months has
served to still further cut the yield,
until it looks now like there will be
less than half normal crop.
Early potatoes have sold well
around this section this season, but
there are APPARENTLY none to be had
now at any price Despite the fact they
are scarce, the prices are not as good
now as it should be in the face. OF
existing conditions. This is possibly
due to the fact that sweet potatoes
have usually sold at this season tor
around Is cents bushel, consequent
" the price now being paid, which is
from $1.O0 to SIPS bushel looks very
good to the average farmer, IN com
parison to former prices.
The association members have Deen
netting cent pound and over above
what the growers who are not mem
bers have been getting.

PRIMITIVE BAPTISTS
REBUILDING CHURCH

The Primitive Baptists of this city
have begun rebuilding their church at
the corner of Palm and johnson
streets. which was completely demol-
ished by the cyclone on the 30th of
last April.
The new church building will be
erected on the same lots, and in
great many ways will be the same
building as the other one was. in that
the dimensions and inside plans will
be about the same, Only the new
building will be brick veneered, which
will greatly add to the appearance of
the building
The committee in charge of raising
funds with which to erect this church,
have met with great success, and those
subscribing amounts are paying same
right along, and with present cash on
hand together with unpaid subscrip-
tons, the cost of erection is almost
in sight, all of which is most encour-
aging. Mr.. Luke Houze, of this city
is the contractor.

Boys Form Permanent ORGANIZATION
Mr.. Owens rendered dinner to the
boys and their fathers, at the New
York Cafe, when Mayor Jack Mayes,
7. E Turner and NJ A. Knox, of the
Georgia Coop Cotton Association,
made short talks along agricultural
and marketing subjects. ]. M. Dor
miny was elected president off the
Boys Club and J. M. Barantine, r.,
secretary. Methods for boil weevil de
struction were discussed and the fol-
lowing resolution, urging the destroy
ing of cotton stalks as means to keep
the weevils from getting their winter
rations, adopted.
Resolution Adopted by Club Boys
We, the Farm Club Boys, OF Ben
Hill County, Georgia, assembled at
luncheon having this day sold our cot
ton which we have this year grown
one acre to each boy and averaging
more than one bale to the acre, bellev-
ing that right now, early in this Fall
is the time to being fighting the weevil
for next years crop, urge all cotton
growers in this county especially. and
in all cotton growing counties, to de-
stroy cotton stalks before the hrst
frost where possible, or the first date
possible after harvesting this years
crop. .,
Our reason fer this is, this will de-
strov the food for the larvae which
NAV hatch out this Fall and become
grown weevils and also will destroy
the food for the present grown weevlls
Destroying their food and their hatch
ing places will mean stopping hatch
ing and means that the old weevils VIII
enter winter quarters earlier and IN
persisted condition, so that they can
not endure the winter.
We observe that when cotton re-
NAMED green on account OF warm
Fall the next years crop of weev1ls
was enormous and we were ruined
Last winter cold weather destroyed
the stalks early and this year we had
very little weevils to start with. we
should, therefore, destroy this year S
weevils which would be ready to de-
stroy us next year if we permit them
to 60 thru this winter.
We pledge ourselves to wage cam
paign to this end and ask our Govern
or to proclaim a day for all farmers
and others in the state to wage imme-
date warfare against our greatest enc
my. Let the farmers and their friends
come together and make this their
most imperative duty, making the
campaign in each county determined
and thoro.

Probable Changes
A. B. 4 A. Control

The presence in the city for the
past several days of auditors and a
clerical force, said to represent the
Seaboard Air Line, has set rumors
ahoat of the probability of the Sea-
board taking over the A. B. & A. rail-
way.
1t is said that complete inventory
is being made of the physical proper
ty of the A. B. & A. at each of its sta
tons, shops and offices, and roadmas-
tiers of the S. A. L. are said to be
making thoro survey Of the condi-
ton of the roadbed and bridges Of
road.
As rumors of this nature have beer
passed about number of times in
the past, The Leader merely gives
this last report such credence as the
circumstances warrant. This appears
however, to be the first time that a
corps of technical experts from anoth-
err road have been known to make a
survey of this property, which would
give this rumor some basis.

How Southern Bank
Aids The Farmer
By ]. E. TURNER
Vice President, Exchange National
Bank, Fitzgerald. Ga.

(In the Bankers Monthly
In the last few years, one OF the
biggest problems coming up for. con-
sideration in our bankers association
has been agriculture and farming IN
terests. as bankers and business men
realize that the success of every enter
prise depends absolutely and always
upon the success of the farmer, The
progressive banker is thinking almost
as much on the farmers problems as
his own banking business.
The system of County Agents, agri-
CULTURAL experts and agricultural col
1eee efforts have been stimulated by
the banker more than any one else and
the presence of these agencies to as
sisf the farmer in solving his problems
is working a great revolution on tne
farm. If these agencies were at work
earlier tlere would now not be such
a scarcMy of labor on the farm.
Our own community may be taken
as an example of what banker-1ar1ler
co-oneration can do For instance,
when the boil weevil reached this sec
ton few years ago, ne paralyZeo II
almost completely The banker knew
he must act and he advised the farm
erS to diversity, 10 lCuuSC SO.eO
age. to enter the dairying business, the
poultry business, to grow tobacco,
grow peanuts. grow an abundance OF
feed stuffs, which he had never done
before. and as a result our farmers are
beginning to feel that they can get
along without cotton, which, hereoo-
fore, has been our main money crop.
By the initiative of the banker, we
have recently instituted hatchery.
which has put into use thousands t 90 OF
hens. We have shipped poultry in car
load quantities. We have built a
creamery and the dairying business is
increasing. We are growing; this year.
the finest grade of bright leaf tobac-
CO grown in America; we are max
ing profits out of peanuts; we are pol
soning against the weevil and this
year we will make a satisfactory cot
ton crop. We are shipping peaches,
this, our first year, in carload quantii-
ties and all this diversified effort is
bringing in bright, new money along
side of that which will come to us
f,3om the old-time cotton crop.
