Let's Get Our Share

Over 100000 people enjoyed
auto tours last season and they spent
$710, 100000 on touring and camp
ing out. Another season is now upon
us, and we should be ready to get
our share of the vast sum, an even
greater sum than was spent last year,
that j ssoon to be scattered in every
state in the union. Special courtesy
and hospitality to the auto tourists
will help a great DEAL Showing them
they ar ewelcome here, that we are
glad to have them stop in our midst,
if only for few minutes, will go far
toward securing our share of the vast
sum tourists are now going to spend,
and will be spending over a four
month period. We may not have
everything they want. But whatever
we do have should be offered them
in a friendly and hospitable way
and they will not only do their part
of the spending but they will carry
on with them a good word about the
town and community that will be
worth more to US than we may ever
be able to measure.-Glenville Senti-

Motor Touring Season
Shows Great Activity

Atlanta, Ga.-The motor touring
season isopening and the promise
is that fully as large number of
tourists will be awheel throughout
the country this summer as in any
previous summer and that an even
larger number will make the South
their touring ground.
The South as a whole and espe-
cially the hill country of the various
states will be visited by thousands.
The tourists are advance guards of
new settlers and of new industries
and it is important, business men
here point out, that those who come
from afar should be made to feel at
home and should carry home with
them good impressions of the Sec
lions visited.
The "glad hand" and a bit of local
hosting will do much good, in the
opinion of business leaders here and
in other sections of the state.

"There ought to be a ruling that

feeling a little bit of usefulness. It
might do so much more for human
welfare and progress. The presence
of a great and good editor in a COM

gives no utterance to wrong, nor pre-

as the dairy industry in Georgia is
concerned.
"Let us turn to another phase OF
the proposition and see what has
taken place with reference to our
orchard industries. In 1925, we
planted 1858 apple trees. We al
ready had 1,442,080 in bearing. The
yield totalled 1,471,351 bushels,
equivalent to SAT cars. Our ship
ments of apples in 1920 totalled 179
cars. This represents an increase of
more than one hundred per cent in
five years in the business of apple
orcharding in Georgia. Yet, every
one acquainted with the facts knows
that this industry is still in it's early
infancy. What of the future, Mr..
Landowner or investor? Is it diff
cult to anticipate the early arrival of
that date when we will be shipping
from one up to five thousand cars
of apples annually from the mountain
areas of north Georgia and rival Vir-
ginia as quality, apple-growing
center?
GIN the case of peaches, we have
about 100000 trees planted. Our
shipments in 1925 aggregated 1860
cars. We are the peach state par
excellence. Our output of fruit in
1925 was more than twice as much
as it was in 1920. There is no limit
to the market for Georgia peaches
provided we ship only quality fruit
and spend enough none yto adver-
tise it's lusciousness to the consum-
ing public at large.
"We were presumed to have e.
689,259 pecan trees already planted
in 1925. Very extensive orchards
were set out last fall and again this
spring. We are far in the lead in
Georgia in SO far as the budded pecan
orcharding industry is concerned.
Yet, also still believe this business
to be in its infancy"
