COMMENT
++++++++++e++*+'
,v wv. N. SMITH. Secretar,


Recent surveys made by the State
Agricultural College, as well as I'M
official surveys made in several south
Georgia counties bring to our atten-
ton some startling facts. For an ex-
ample, Crisp County according to an
official survey bought feed stuffs to
the amount of approximately $500, 1000
worth that should have been raised at
home Ben Hill county patronized 9TH
er states to the amount of $300,0O0 for
/ food products, which could have been
largely raised at home. The other far
mer grows it and you pay two or
three profits and all freight charges,
losses, etc, and then wonder why
farming does not pay.
Nobody can be stronger tor the trade
at home policy than | am, even car
ny my postage stamps when L leave
town, but | would not pay 8 cents tor
two cent stamp here just tor the
sake of buying at our home post office:
| Our merchants must sell standard
goods at standard prices, and l believe
they are doing SO. Let's tell the world
by advertising this fact.
A good many of our merchants are
enthusiastic over the idea of again Gel
ebrating the Birth of our Nation which
will be 139 years old next Fourth OF
Tuly. If we do not provide place tor
our people to enjoy this greatest OF our
National holidays, naturally they will
go somewhere else;
The towns and counties along the
Central Dixie Highway are about to
awake to the fact that we have lost and
are steadily losing a great deal in many
WAYS by not persistently advertising
this great route through Georgia
among those tourists who travel by
automobile. Some very constructive
work was done at the melting at Way
cross and results will surely follow
Don't forget the regular monthly
meeting of the Chamber OF Commerce
will be held next Thursday at $3.50 T..
M. We always have more business
than we can attend to, so please come
out and help us with it, New folks are
coming to South Georgia every month
in the year, and we will get. our share
only by keeping up with the process
sion 1t will take our united efforts for
the next few years to keep our lead
ership in this particular neck of the
woods.
In all our activities let us not forget
that few public improvements such
as a new First Ward School building
an auditorium, little paving, are still
in order. We actually need these things
and the only way we will ever get
them is to issue bonds So why should
we wait much longer?

TOBACCO LEADING FACTOR
IN STATES PROSPERITY

ATLANTA, Ga, March 12-An al
falfa crop from Norh Georgia that will
yield $30000,000 a year and a tobac-
co crop from South Georgia that will
yield $50,0O0000 a year, that is the
vision for the near future that DR.. A:
M. Soule, president of the State Agri-
cultural College at Athens, Ga, sees
according to his own statement ina
speech delivered recently before a
group of leading Georgia business men
and agricu1turists in Atlanta.
Everyone knows, it was pointed out,
here how rapidly the South Georgia
tobacco crop is developing as lead
ing factor in the States prosperity,
but few realize the practically unlim-
tied possibilities in alfalfa as a crop
for the northern part of the state.
There is a market demand for alfalfa,
it is stated that is practically unliml-
ted and Georgia will have no difficult
ty in disposing of whatever quantity
she can raise.
Interest in alfalfa as a crop has
been accentuated during. the last few
weeks by the presence in Georgia of
of ]. H. King, presidnet oft he Yuma,
Arizone Farm Bureau Marketing AS
sociation. Mr. King has come to Geor-
gia to introduce the Hairy Peruvian
Alfalfa seed. This variety, according
to tests made athe State Experiment
Station at Griffin, Ga. and at the State
Agricultural College at Athens, Ga. is
far more prolific than other varieties
and is found to be peculiarly adapted
to Georgia soil and weather conditions.
1t has already been tried out at the
State College of Agriculture with mar
ked success and it is stated that an
experimental plat will be put in this
year at the State Exepiremtn Farm
near Griffin.

SOUTH PAYS MORE INCOME
TAX THAN BEFORE

ATLANTA March l2-While re-
ceipts from income taxes from the
country as a whole have fallen off
during the last six months, the South
has paid more income taxes than be-
fore and this in spite OF the rs per
cent reduction allowed on earned in
comes according to Frank Hampstead
income tax expert of Atlanta and
Washington, who has received this in
formation from official sources.
Good prices for cotton and general
prosperity throughout the South are
reasons advanced, Mr.. Hampstead
stated, for the increasde income tax
payments in the face of the difference
of Is per cent in the rate.
Mr. Hempsead, following business
trip over the south, says he found
business men highly optimistic.

Grand Tour OF Dixie
Highway Is Planned

Plans are already under way for the
grand jt1bilee tour of the Dixie High
way in celebration of the tenth ami
versary of the organization. 1t is sug-
geSted by some that the motorcade
start from Chicago on October 9th,
following the same route to Miami as
in 1915. Others think the route show
ing the greatest improvements since
1915 should be selected, while others
say a circular tour would be best SO
as to cover both divisions of the High
way.
Letters have been received from a
, number of the "o1d guard" who made
the trip in 1915, all highly enthusiast
tic over the idea of~going over the
route again. Such a motorcade will be
greatly beneficial to the communities
through which it passes, but only the
ones who experienced all the hardships
of the initial trip in October, 1915 can
really appreciate the wonderful adj
vancement made in the last ten years.
Among those making the first trip
who have signified their intention of
joining the Jubilee Tour are the fol-
lowing: Judge M. M. Allison, Presi-
dent of the Dixie Highway Associa-
ton; Judge P. T. Colgrove, Hastings,
