NEW BUILDING WILL REACH
OVER THREE BILLIONS

Architects and builders in Atlanta
are authority for the statement that
new 1927 building operations total
ing more than three billions and five
hundred millions Of dollars already
are planned, under way or about to
be started in the United Staes.
1t is estimated by G. L. Preacher
company, Atlanta architects, who are
designing large structures in various
parts of the South, that, taking the
country as a whole, six billions and
two hundreds and fifty millions of
dollars will be expended on new con-
struction during the year. The esti-
mate is based on surveys made by
various agencies and compiled in the
Atlanta office of the Preacher COM
,pany.
"Unquestionably building activities
proceeding at a high rate in various
sections of the country and the South
is far from tagging in it's building OPP
erations," said Mr.. Preacher. "There
is little, if any, likelihood of de-
cline. On the contrary demands for
municipal buildings, new and larger
schools and similar structures are far
from being met" The Preacher COM
pany are the supervising architects
of Atlanta's new schools which are
to be erected under a municipal bond
issue.

Crop diversification has become
not only advisable, but imperative IN
the South this year, officials OF the
Georgia Department of Agriculture
say. AS was pointed out, cotton grow
ers realize that the cotton-growlng
program of last year will not do this
wear. that it will mean disaster to try
to produce the size crop that was pro-
duced in 1926 and that it is essential
to farming success that something IN
addition to cotton should be grown.
Many Southern farmers for some
wears have been diversifying their
crops and to this is due probably
more than to any other cause, the tact
that many Southern farmers today
are in good circumstances, well aoie
to weather the cotton situation, be-
cause they have had other crops to
sell as we'll as cotton, and have pro-
duced on their farms what they need
ed for their own use.
There are, however, in many parts
of the South, agricultural leaders here
claim, farmers who seem still to be
! clinging to the old one-crop idea anc
that crop is cotton. They count cot,
ton a "ready money" crop, as indeed
, it is, and they can see no hope 1o1
making any other crop take the place
even in part of cotton.
These farmers are not so numerous
as they were few years ago. Eacf
wear finds many of them converted te
diversified farming program ano
this year most of them probably vii
ioin the ranks of the more progres
sive farmers who will produce some
cotton and some food and feed stun
so that they will not have to place
all of the dependence in any oA'
crop.

Here are some facts which call for
a remedy of farm conditions, agrlcui-
tural leaders claim. The figures are
the result of surveys in Georgia ana
nine other Southern states.
No eggs were produced on 20 per
cent or SOCIAL farms.
23 per cent or 597,247 farms had
no gardens.
A dairy cow did not exist on 81 per
cent of 945,33S farms.
SO per cent or 95o,9S0 farms did
not raise q chicken.
No butter was made on 46 per cent
of all the farms in the ten states.
56 per cent Of the farms did not
raise pig.
10 per cent did not raise Irish po-
tatoes.
SO per cent did not raise sweet po-
tatoes.
No pure bred animals could pc
found on 95 per cent of all the farms

There are fine women in America
A wear ago Mrs. Myrtle Huddleston,
of California, took up swimming to
"reduce." Last week she swan the
Catalina Channel, her eleven-year-old
boy crying out to her, Come on
Mamma, don't give up" When she
finished the swim, the thirty year-old
mother was delirious, partly paralyzed
and had been bitten four times by
savage barracuda.
Too bad that such woman should
waste her marvellous vitality on bat
tie that pleases the morbid but does
no good. The nation could afford
to pay her to have twenty one chill
dren instead of swimming twenty-one
miles in icy water.
