AUTOMOBILE BAN FOR
STUDENTS UNJUST

The recent resolution passed in the
organization meeting of deans and
student advisers of Pacific coast col
leges and universities, to the effect that
pleasure automobiles should not be
permitted among students of colleges
and universities because they detract
from the tendency to study. lessen stu
dent democracy and prove real factors
in the problem of discipline, is vigor-
ously combatted by eastern educators.
Admitting that too free a use of
automobiles by students may be clas-
sed with too free indulgence in dances
athletics, dramatics and other student
activities, it is contended that banning
the automobile is not the way to
meet such a condition. 1t is pointed
out that travel, as such, is educational
that while too much travel may inter
fere with study, it is condition not
to be corrected by removing the means
of travel, but by rules local to the
student body so indulging. The auto
mobile, the good road, and the quick
transportation resulting, make possible
the attendance of thousands of stu
dents who may live at home who
otherwise would crowd dormitories
and local habitations until the useful
ness of the college or university was
destroyed
Educators with the larger vision
point out that all new inventions and
all means of the progress of civiliza-
ton bring their own abuses with them,
which have to be corrected by various
means, but that the one means which
never has proved successful is to get
rid Of the step forward in order to
eliminate the abuses it brings.

That the Nation needs good roads
is admitted by all.
That the Government should build
and maintain national highways, to
which the States can and will build
State trunk roads, they in turn to be
fed by county and township roads, is
agreed to by most students Of the
problem.
That they can not afford additional
road taxes is contended by many
farmers, already overburdened with
expense and with prices of farm pro-
ducts below their proper levels.
What is not generally understood is
that any campaign of national high
way building must inevitably be paid
for by the richest section of the coun-
try, by the most populous section of
the country, by the localities where
the greatestamount of tax money can
be raised.
1t is fact that when national high
ways are built they will be paid for,
very largely, by the northeast of the
United States and the large cities.
Yet 90 per cent of all the road traffic
in the country will go over them. The
farmer will pay about 10 per cent and
industry and cities will pay the rest
The most ardent advocates of ma
tional highways in the northeast sec
ton Of the land know this. 1t does not
brighten them. They already pay the
larger part of the Nations bills. Why
shouldn't they? If 100 people live in
small town and wish to build a quar-
ter of mile road to a nearby lake,
on the shore of which lives one man,
do the hundred people stop because
the one man will benefit 100 per cent
and pay but per cent? They do not.
They build the road. The northeastern
section of the country, the thick1y
populated, filled-wth- factories locali-
ties, will benefit immeasurably from
national highways. They will benefit,
because the farmer will benefit and
they are happy that he will benefit.
The farmers can not afford not to
have national highways when they get
90 per cent of the good and pay but
10 per cent of the costl

FEDERAL RESERVE
SALVATION OF OUR
CREDIT SYSTEMS

Atlanta-The establishment of the
Federal Reserve System-one of the
outstanding achievements of the Will
son administration-ha come in the
course of years to be the salvation of
the credit system of the United States
it was pointed out here today by
leading Atlanta bankers, in discussing
the financial aid given the agricultur-
al interests by the member banks.
All national banks are members of
the federal reserve system and as
many state banks and trust companies
as wish to joins are also members.
Under the system the gold reserve of
the nation has accumulated until at
present the percentage of reserve to
circulation is above 78 per cent. This
makes the highest guarantee of a cur
rency of any country in the world, it
was stated.
The members of the system can bor-
row from each other, and maintain
their reserve intact, it was shown. If
they lack gold it can be transferred
from another bank. In fact, it is as
serted, the financial condition of the
entire system can be kept thoroly
sound and at the same time serve any
needs or meet any financial emergen-
cies that may arise.
A centralized banking system thru
which the currency of the country
could be made more elastic was
clearly the need at one time, bankers
here show, and fnanciers put their
heads together with the federal re-
serve system as a product.
Atlanta Bank Big Institution
The federal reserve board at Wash
ington was organized with eight mem
bers, six appointed by the president
with the secretary of the treasury and
the comptroller of the currency as
ex-officio members. They have con.
troll of the twelve reserve banks-one
of which is located in Atlanta-which
are the basis of the system.
The Federal Reserve Bank of At
1anta covers the sixth federal reserve
district, probably one of the most i'm
portant agricultural regions of the
South, which embraces the states oi
Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee
Mississippi and Louisiana.

Prosperity of the cotton farmer de-
p-nds on whether he or the boil
weevil will collect on the investment
Of time labor and money in the rails
Ing Of the cotton crop. The boil
weevil has done most of the collect
ing in the past several years, but
farmers now are preparing to put an
end to this by applying the govern
ment methods of control
The boil weevil can be controlled
IN any neighborhood by application
OF these methods, and all farmers
VINO have not already done so are
urged to make their plans now to use
the control measures they have been
paying experts for thirty years to
work out. It is not easy to- control
the boil weevil. 1t takes work and
study, but 1t pays when it is done
right 1t is a waste of time and
money when 1t is done wrong.
We used to think that mosquitoes
did no more than sting US. Now we
know they cause malaria, and by
screening our houses we keep out
malaria. The scientists taught US
these things. They can't tell us how
to destroy all the mosquitoes, but
they tell US how to conrol them and
to escape their damages. So the
scientists are telling us how to con-
troll the boil weevils Their methods
are not perfect, but they are practi-
cal; they have been tested by farm
ers who have TAX IN pains to study,
to learn and to fight the pest day by
day and week by week.
An important part of the general
plan Of weevil control is good farm
Ing. That may be practiced by every
farmer and will help very much 1t
will pay even when there is no wee.
vii damage or when the weather
makes poisoning too expensive for
profit. In brief, the best farmers be-
gin Fighting tie boil weevil by:
l. Putting the soil in fine condi.
ton; good seed bed is necessary
to obtain the best results.
z. Planting after danger of frost
is past and the earth is warm enough
to cause quick sprouting and a good
stand.
8. Using selected seed of variety
that natures early
4. Fertilizing highly to make quick
growth and set bolls before the wee
wills multiply enough to destroy the
crop.
8. Narrow spacing, hoes width,
and one to three s+2lks to the hill.
6. Putting cotton on well'drained
land that under average conditions
will make at least bale to three
acres and adopting the slogan, "More
cotton to the acre, not more acres t.
cotton"

ADVOCATES SING PRAISES OF
YELLOWSTONE TRAIL

Advocates of the proposed Atlantic
Yellowstone Pacific Highway are met
by potent arguments of those who be-
lieve that the present Yellowstone
Trail is the road of roads for north
western tourist travel. The following
from the Livingstone (Mont) Enter
prise. takes exception to arguments
uttered by proponents of the Atlantic
Yellowstone PACIFIC Highway, and
puts forth the case of the Yellowstone
Trail:
First. altho the distance between
the Yellowstone Trail and the Lin
coin Highway may be 400 miles at
the Missouri river, it narrows consid-
erably after crossing that stream, IN
fact when Yellowstone Park is neared
it serves a territory considerably
more compact than that.
Second, the Yellowstone PACING
Highway can not traverse any terri
tory whose physical characteristics are
more pleasing or more inviting.
Third, it can not possibly be more
comfortable so far as climatic condl-
tons are concerned, and as far as
dust, the only dust found on the Vel
lowstone Trail is blown by the wind
from the territory that would be ira
versed by the Atlantic Yellowstone
Pacific Highway. :.
Fourth, it can not permit earlier
travel in the spring for the reason
that traffic has been reported on the
Yellowstone Trail during the. entire
winter months, an item evidently with
which the new road promoters are un-
familiar.
Fifth, no section in any part OF the
country can show any greater variety
of agriculture and industries than IS
to be found along the we'll marked
extensively travelled, and most popu-
lar of all highways, the Yellowstone
Trail"
When the United States Govern
ment appoints National Highway
Commission and begins to build and
maintain national highways, doubtless
both of these important roads will be
selected as main arteries of travel.

WEATHER BUREAU
Synopsis of Weather and Crop Con-
ditoins for Georgia, Week Ending
May 18th, 1924

ATLANTA, Ga, May IA, 1o2HDe-
cidedly cool weather set in over most
of Georgia on Fridayh May 9 accom-
panied by brisk winds, making the lat
ter Fart of the week very unfavorable
for termination and the growth of
crops. The rains of Saturday night and
Sunday were favorable in the south and
southeast but elsewhere kept ground
wet and cold. Planting cotton and corn
made considerable progress during the
week even in the extreme north and
week of dry, really warm weather
would probably enable farmers to
complete the planting of cotton in all
sectins of Georgia
Cotton germinated poorly in the
north and growth has been retarded by
the cool nights in all sections; many
plants have died, and in several coun-
ties they have become lousy. Chopping
continues in central-northern districts
and is mostly completed in the south
where cotton has made better growth.
Last year at this date boil weevils
had appeared in large numbers but
none have been reported so far this
season. Corn also has not grown rap
idly; there is much planting to be done
Wheat and oats left from the freeze
have continued to improve. Tobacco
plants are we'll established. White
POTATOES are doing we'll; digging has
begun in the southeast. Transplant
ing sweet potatoes will soon become
general. Rains benefited pastures and
the condition of stock has improved.
Alfalfa is benig cut for hay in several
counties. Truck crops made fair pro-
gress. Peanuts, sugar cane, sorghum,
and melons are in fair condition, tho
not growing rapidly. Rice is still be-
ing planted. Some growers are thinn-
ing peaches on account of the heavy
crop. The cool weather has retarded
the ripening of strawberries. Much
warmer, sunny weather is greatly need
ed at this critical period of the crop
season.
