rid peHn1At race Rav ChaI man, n
star sholtstop, was killed by u pitch
ed ball. Il WAS a blow thai would

especially when Iris Speaker had
- grab .lse SeWell. ~ Grtried
youngs:er, from college diamond,
and trust him with The most vital
position Of the club.
The team rallied to Scwcll and to
Speaker and they won the pcnnant
aud the world : championship and
Young Scwcll was one Of the read
heroes of the series.
There IS another angle also.
\ very smart baseball man,
travelling with the Yankees said
that the Dempsey Tunury fight say
ed the pcnnant for the Yankees.
The club was in a horrible slump and
IA commanding lead melted away al
to nothing. The players were
frctting and pressing and couldn t
get out of it, The day before the
fight they started talking and ar
guing fight and got their minds off
baseball. The day of the fight
and the dav after they talked moth
my but fight in the hotel and with
the strain relieved they started to
play baseball.
The grief Of HornSby has taken
much of the strain off the st, Louis
club. They haven't been thinking
or Worrying about baseball and they
may hc in much better moral condi-
, tion than the Nmks when they 20
on the field.
It may an injustice to hang Il
curse ON the Cardinals by picking
them to win in season that has
marked the fall of one great favoritc
after another.
Anyway the championship will re
main in America

POULTRY PROFITS
EXCEEDS COTTON

Are you raising cotton at return
of S3A.08 per acre? Are you raising
poultry at net return of $616 an
acre? These are questions that lift
themselves challengingly to the far
mers, now held fast in the grip of
low priced cotton which they cannot
dispose of for sum sufficient to pay
them out of debt in many instances.
These questions are now propounded
by railways of this state through their
agricultural and development depart
ments. The railways are interested
in better agriculture along their lines
because the railways prosper as the
people prosper.
On authority of the railroad agri-
cultural agents 200 hens can be kept
on an acre of land without fear of
crowding and still furnish ample room
for ranging. A poultry farm of 500
hens is said to produce net return
of $2,47O, or $3.O8 bird.

GEORGIA IS SECOND ONLY
TO TEXAS In FEDERAL
AID ROADS DURING YEAR

Atlanta, Ga.-Georgia stands Sec
ond only to Texas in Southern States
in federal aid road building projects
completed to June 80 this year, the
annual report of the bureau of public
roads of the Department of Agricul-
ture indicates.
The mileage of federal aid roads in
Georgia now amounts to 1878 miles
built at a total cost of $27,704, 1926,
of which SIS, 100, 068.58 was federal
aid roads, completing 5,055.8 miles
at a total cost of 71,403,346.64.
South Carolina ranks third in the
South with 1860 miles, Arkansas
follows with 1,418.5; Alabama, L.
.415.7; North Carolina, 1,343.1;
Louisiana, 1,O69.8; Virginia, 1,050.1
and Tennessee, 1858 miles.
During the fiscal year 1925, 9,417
miles of federal aid road projects
were completed, bringing the total
length of improved federal aid roads
up to $500 miles, the report sald.
At the close of the year, construc-
ton was in progress on 1882 miles
and projects involving the improve
,nent of 2,469 miles additional had
been approved. Including the mil
cage of projects in these latter stages,
all of which are included in the feder-
al aid system, the total mileage I'M
proved or in process of Improvement
with federal aid was 69,334.1 miles.
With the exception of few hundred
miles improved prior to the deslgna-
ton of the federal aid highway sys-
TEN in 1921, all of this mileage is in
cluded in the system.
The system now has an aggregate
length of 182,134 miles All this
mileage has been selected by the state
and federal highway officials as es-
sential links of a system adequate
for the accommodation of interstate
traffic.

By H c. Hastings, President, The Georgia Association

1t is human to avoid the considera-
ton of disagreeable facts. We have
been avoiding such considerations IN
Georgia for the last six years. we
don't like to talk about disagreeable
economic facts; our newspapers don't
like to print disagreeable economic
facts about the territory they serve.
However, in my opinion, the time is
here when we must face these facts,
diagnose the situation and begin to
apply the proper remedies.
Georgia, or rather that part OF
Georgia other than our relatively lew
counties where mechanical industry
and trade dominate, has slipped bad
" since 1920. The latest figures
available are those from the U. G.
Census Bureau issued during 1925.
In 1920, the value of Georgia's farm
lands and buildings was listed at ST.
1928, 627; in 1925 this had fallen
to $3.50, 337,334, loss in that five
wear period of S548,961, 293.
During that period the number OF
farms operated in Georgia dropped
from 31O,732 to 249, JOG, a loss of
61.623. There were decreases IN
acreage and production OF cotton,
corn, oats, wheat, rye, rice, hay and
sweet potatoes. The only increases
noted were tobacco, peanuts and vel
vet beans, the new crops.
Tin those five years our horses and
mules decreased in number 1l5,975;
cattle of all kinds 217,97O; hogs 1885,
636: brood sows came down from
363.729 to 1912, loss OF l65'-
e47 These figures are not only sig
nificant to the student of agrlcul-
tural conditions but they should be
startling to the business men, banker
and manufacturer.
You may wonder how Georgia
compares with sister states under
these conditions. 1t is out OF the
ouestio INTO quote figures on Details
but comparison of the loss or gam
of number of farms may be OF in
tessst.
Georgia lost 61,623. farms in those
five wears; Alabama lost 1887; >.
Carolina 1882; Mississippi >14,873;
Arkansas 1921; Louisiana 3,Ol2;
rrssoo INK while Florida gained

analyze the farm operations OF a

Dry Laws Immense
Benefit To Labor

Atlanta, Ga.-While there is so
much talk about liberty and liquor
it may be interesting to know what
the world thinks about prohibition in
America, it was pointed out by Hon,
P. A. Stovall, editor of the Savannah
Press and former Minister to Swift
| zerland in the Wilson administration
Mr.. Stovall recently returned from a
trip abroad.
"Foreign manufacturers stand
aghast at the increased efficiency OF
American labor" said Mr.. Stovall
"They cite the high standard of wages
and living in America as something
remarkable. They read about work
men riding to the factories in their
automobiles, and every country in
Europe gets remittances from Ameri-
can workmen to their families abroad.
They read about furniture and good
clothes in American homes and 1T is
wonder that foreign residents want
to come to this country and are
adopting every expedient to beat the
immigration agents"
Continuing Mr.. Stovall pointed out
that the savings banks have increased
their deposits and he added every
where the prosperity of American la
Dor is known"
at has been cited that great per-
centage of this prosperity is due to
prohibition" Mr.. Stovall said. Ser
tainly a part of this is owing to the
fact that the laborer saves his money
and spends upon his family hundreds
of dollars he formerly spent in the
saloon"
Mr.. Stovall called attention to the
fact that those who clamor for modi-
fication of the liquor law are quick
to say that they "don't want the sa-
loon to return" but whenever liquor
is sold, he declares, will be a saloon
in a certain sense, no matter by what
name it is called.
Foreigners coming to this country
talk airly about their liberties being
restricted, but the very work which
they do, the very money which they
earn and the conveniences which they
secure, should convince them that the
prohibition law which they deride
and which they strive often to set
aside, is responsible for improvements
which they enjoy"
