Wisps of autumn days

Come back again

The leaves beneath
Do thoughts lie still

To fall again, beneath the rain

PERFECT AIR
DEFENSE

LONDON, July 11.--London-and
the British Isles in general--will
shortly have an almost impregnable
aerial defense, thanks to the Air
Ministry policy Of building up fifty
six aerial squadrons for defense
purposes only, housed in twenty.
five or thirty aerodrornes situated
at strategic points throughout the
country.
Each squadron viii be made up
Of twelve planes of the latest type,
making q total Of almost 700 planes
always available to ward off sur
prise attacks. Because it Is taken
for granted that an aerial attack
must come from the south or east,
most of the aerodromes will be
located in the southern end OF
the island.
The axiom of the Royal Air
Force is that the best defense is
attack. For this reason the defense
force will be made up chiefly of
bombing craft and fast fighters.
Distances are so quickly covered
by modern aircraft that some OF
the defense aerodromes for London
are 100 miles and even more from
the metropolis.
Aerodromes for immediate de-
Tense. really the inner ring of
aerial fortification, are at present
situated at BigLsn Hill, Henley.
Northholt and Hendon. r. A. F.
stations are also available at
Eastchurch and Mansion.
In the outer ring there are Spit
tlegate, Duxford, Stamford and
Hawkinge, while at Worthy Down
and at Bircham Newton there are
squadrons OF the new grand Napier
Virginia bombers of immense range
for direct striking, able to travel
long distances into Europe with
loads Of bombs and then return to
their base.
Meanwhile new types Of high
powered, high altitude bombers are
being tested at Martlesham Heath,
and many Of the new squadrons
are already equipped with the
latest postwar types. Other
machines to supersede even these
latest models are already in the de-
sign stage.

Imports and Exports in 1924
TotalIed $500 Per

By ROBERT s. THORNBURGH.


Population has little to do with
purchasing power of nation, &C.
cording to Emmett A. Chapman, Of
the Department of Commerce.
New Zealand, with population
Of only 1900. 900, may appear quite
unimportant az compared with
China. with 5000, 900 inhabitants.
yet it has per capita trade one
hundred times greater than that OF
China, Chapman pointed out.
During 1924 New Zeaiand's i'm
ports and exports amounted to more
than f10I. 000, 900, or $3.50 for each
inhabitant, Ms compared with about
81 per capita in China, according to
department figures.
OF the total trade New Zealand
imported goods valued at IS, 023, 900
pounds. an increase Of IA per cent
over the preceding year, and giving
a favorable trade balance Of a.
085, 900.
Half of Imports English.
about half Of the 1924 imports
originated IN the United Kingdom,
and one-sixtt in the United States,
tralia, Canada and Germany, Chap
man said.
THAT part from the United
States totaled 1885, 900 pounds, a
IL per cent increase over 1929.
United States sales to New Tea
land consisted Of a wide variety of
items, including refined petroleum,
automobiles, machinery, rubber
manufactures, dried and canned
fruits. chemicals, cotton products
and musical instruments.
Ready Market for u. S.
Officials pointed out that social
and economic conditions in New
Zealand are such that practically
every item manufactured in the
United States finds a ready mar
ket throughout that area.
Aggressive distributors are al.
ways on the lookout for live Ameri-
can lines and the field is not over
crowded with American agencies"
Chapman declared. THE language
and customs being the same as our
own, the placing of agencies in
New Zealand is relatively simple.
Export managers should lose no
time in looking into this promising
field"

GRAFTERS ALWAYS
WITH IFS

AS common and corrosive as rust
to iron is the ever corruptng influence
of graft in employment ranks of state
and federal departments. Political ex-
pediency and selfish interests cost the
tax payers heavy tolls. 1t seems the
people never get the best constructive
service. They hardly know what their
departments really cost so i1icessant
and insidious is the drain of the graft
er. ]. ]. Brown, several months ago
offered what seems the only solution,
and that is the plan of civil service for
all employees OF the state of Georgia
in every department including every
subordinate clerkship. This puts ev-
cry employee on merit, entirely re-
moved from political machinery as he
is not ousted with every change of
official heads. The state Highway de-
partment is under fire now and whose
the greater blame, dishonest clerk or
indifferent supervisors, remains to be
seen by the audit and legislative ex-
animation.

ASPARAGUS CULTURE IN GEORGIA

dawson notwithstanding to a news item sent
out by an Atlanta newspaper writer the middle
Georgia asparagus CROP which will begin moving
about the middle of March, will be worth approx
imatcly one million dollars, according to present
estimates The crop has never been failure. With
increased acreage for this season and the close
attention that has been given to the beds is every
indication that Georgias asparagus crop will be
bigger than ever during the spring of 1928. Hous-
ton. Peach and Macon counties last season had
Approximately $500 acres OF asparagus from which
approximately fifty crates were picked per acre.
The range in price is from SO to $12 a crate, tho
some Of the earliest has sold as high $54 crate
When it gets much lower than SO crate the grow
crs refuse to sell.
A considerable quantity Of asparagus is being
successfully grown in southwest Georgia. Here
in Terrell county there is asparagus field of
05 acres near Dawson and smaller one Sas-
ser from which the owners have never failed to
realize good profits and are gradually charging
their acreage. shipment of few crates has al
ready been made from Dawson this season and
large quantities will be moving by express daily
in the next few days.
Development of the asparagus industry in this
state according to the Atlanta writer, has driven
California asparagus growers out of the eastern
section of the country. The western asparagus is
white, and minus the natural flavor found in the
Georgia variety.

REDUCING PUBLIC DEBT-Durng the last
four years the public debt OF Our country has been
reduced some S3198OOOOO0 and the annual int
crest charge on the government has been reduced
from 100000 to $865, 100000.
Speaking before the regular sem1-annual meet
ing of executive officials OF the government Pres
dent Coolidge said
The people of this nation have beep not only
patient under the heavy burden OF war taxation,
they have been heroic. Their burden of taxation
has been greatly lightcned, but our fight must be
for further reduction Of the burden OF the people.
"Our nation is prosperos. Its prosperity is due
largely to the economy which business, abolished
unemployment, made high wages and work plen-
tiful. 1t is this economy which has enabled US
since 1921 to reduce our public debt SO materially
1t is this economy which has enabled the reduc-

TIME TO BUY A FARM-The Southern Guilt

TIME TO BUY A FARM-The Southern Guilt
,ator in recent issue sized up the situation prop
erly when it advised its readers to buy farm now.
In speaking OF farm opportunities the Cultivator
says ~
Nov is the best time to buy farm that we have
seen in over forty years. You can now purchase
land at a cheaper price, in accordance to the value
that YOU can obtain for farm products. In other
words a farmer who will do his work can
now pay for home, more easily than at any for
mer time. Any young man renter can now buy
d good improved farm and get twenty and even
thirty years in which to pay for it and have his
notes to be only small amount above the rent
value There is absolutely reason why any
white man, OF average intelligence and good grit,
can not own his own home. The thing to do is not
70 buy large acreage. Get a small farm that you
can handle and start to improve the soil from year
to year and go in to make good crops. The main
thing is to start out to make living at home as
near as possible. Start well-balanced system
and stick to it, Proper Investigation is our sal
vation, both as individual farmers and as a class
If our farmers will only learn this lesson we will
never have any more starvation prices. Land IS
the best investment on earth. A home is the best
possession on earth, and there never was better
time to buy than now, while this season OF
cheap land values is on.

ENCOURAGE RADIO-Radio is

ENCOURAGE RADIO-Rado is cassed as the
most wonderful achievement of the century Its
entertainment value is greater than all other
forms of amusement tt will do more to educate
the people of the world than any other agency.
Its possibilities equal to almost any reasonable
stretch of imagination.
During 1920, sales of radio sets and parts total
ed 100000; in 1924, over $4O0OOOOOO, and it is
likely sales this year will exceed $5OOOOOOOO
Fast growing industries are the easy mark of
taxation and regulation. Our country leads the
world in manufacturing because industry is given
free scope for the operation of individual in
ltiative in its development and the encouragement
of new industry.
A ten per cent tax as proposed in Congress or
discriminating freight rate against radio sets
and equipment would discourage the advancement
of this industry at time when 1T should be en-
couraged.

COMMENT

Bv W. n. SMITH, Secretary

by w. N. SMl ii, secretary
The mail order houses of Chicago,
Philadelphia or New York do not con-
tribute one cert to our schools, chur
ches or civic organization, and yet
some of us still send our good money
to them for the same things we can
buy at home. We should learn over
again the great doctrine OF "Reciproc-
ity", which means ito trade with those
who trade with us" Did you ever hear
OF Montgomery Buck & Co., spending
a cent in Fitzgerald for any cause what
ever? They do nothing for our town
or county, and still such communities
as we have made them rich and pow
erful. We are hearing a great deal
about cooperation and are asking our
business men to help US find markets
for our farm products Now don't you
think it is about time for us TO do
little cooperating ourselves by buying
at home such supplies as we need!
Mr.. Holloman in his address last
Tuesday at the Court House, made
the remark that the boil weevll was
the least of the problems now confront
ing the farmer. In other words the
question of the boil weeviI so Tar as the
farmer is concerned had been deli
niteiy settled. Plant small acreage,
plenty of fertilizers. good seed, work
fast. and above everything else use
plenty of calcium arsenate. IT you are
not going to do these things don't
cotton. Don't fool with any OF these
various and sundry patent connections
offered, but stick to the dust and give
Mr.. B. Weevil plenty OF it when ne
first gets hungry this spring.
A little jealousy mixed with some
Georgia politics can ruin the value OF
a great institution like the State High
way Commission: That little fuss ov-
err an expense account of less than two
thousand dollars is capable of setting
back our road program for five or
ter years.
With a county agent TO look after
the boys and their daddies, a home
demonstration agent to instruct the
girls and their mothers in max ng
home life more beautiful, and with ev-
erybody looking brighter. we may
know that Ben Hill is on the way up
ward and onward Let everybody give
every worthy cause encouragement,
and help it all you can.

GOOD MAN TO RETIRE-The country loses
a useful public servant in the retirement OF Chas
Evan Hughes, secretary OF State, which takes
place March 4. For twenty years Mr.. Hughes has
occupied public office in New York state and in
Washington. In every post Mr.. Hughes served
the public well. The country has no statesman of
finer ability, and none more devoted to their well
fare The most criticism that will attach to him
in all these years, is his connection with Senator
Newberry. There many who will never for
give him for his defense of the Michigan senator,

fleets upon his integrity or capacity.
