NEWS OF ATLANTA, STATE AND SOUTHEAST

Atlanta, Ga.-The potato crop now
ranks sixth in value and eighth in
acreage among the agricultural pro-
ducts of the United States, according
to study just completed by the Bu-
reau of Railway Economics and made
public by railroad agricultural agents
relative to the production and mar
keting of white potatoes raised in this
country.
Along with this increase in the i'm
portance of potato production the
study shows the very wide distribu-
tion of potatoes in the United States.
| During the past year, the study al
so shows that of thirty-six of the prin-
cipal cities located in this country,
twenty-five actually received pota-
toes from one-third or more states in
the United States. In some instances,
potatoes were shippepd to those cities
in larger quantities from far distant
states than from large producing
areas closer at hand.
| Markets in South
Chicago received it's potato supply
from larger number of states than
any other important market, potatoes
being shipped to that city from thirty
seven different states. Atlanta drew
it's potato supply from twenty nine
states; Birmingham from thirty one
states; Memphis from twenty three
states and New Orleans from twenty
five states.
Atlanta unloads and consumes 800
to 1000 car loads of Irish potatoes a
year. Official figures include 165
cars from Minnesota, 103 cars from
Virginia, 81 cars from Florida and 80
cars from Georgia. The rest of the
total came from twenty six other
states.
Atlanta receives more potatoes
from Minnesota, producing state In
volving longer haul, than it does
from Maine, New York, Michigan anc
Illinois combined, all involving short
er hauls. Even Idaho ships as many
potatoes into Atlanta as does the state
of Michigan.
Freight Rates Not Factor
The study also shows that both with
respect. to prices paid to the farmer
and prices in the wholesale and retail
markets, there were wide fluctuation!
within the period from week to weel
and month to month. The freigh
rate level remained virtually stable
nthis constantly changing marke
situation. Freight rates, therefore
could not have been a foctor in th'
fluctuations of the prices paid fo
white potatoes, either to the farmer
or in the wholesale or retail markets

They're wearing them higher in
Hawaii,
Higher, higher in Hawaii.
So the regular old ditty ran, but
now they are wearing them higher,
not only in Hawaii, but in every cor
nor of the United States.
Pessimists in Atlanta are speculat-
ing as to how high the skirts will go
this spring, and what effect this will
have on women's fashions in general.
Skirts in Atlanta have an inch or
two yet to go before they are really
short, according to the fashions set
by their more extreme sisters in the
north and west, it was stated by an
Atlanta fashion expert who has re-
turned from the style centers.
One gloomy prophet predicts that
skirts will be banished from the fem
mine wardrobe, and that knickers will
take their place. This poor deluded
mortal-if one may so label him
says that women's waists are becom-
ing smaller, and thath their figures
generally are better, so that the femi-
nine folk will flock to the toggery
shops and buy knickers in large lots,
tailored for sports, dainty silk ruffled
ones for afternoon, and knickers
trimmed with lace and embroidery for
evening.
However, as long as skirts are
short there doesn't seem to be much
danger of knickers becoming popular.
The question before the fashion ex-
pert today is how short they will get?
Unless something unexpected hap
pens soon in the shape of longer
skirts, women will be unable to abb
breviate their skirts any more.

LIANT KNIGHT
(Louis Albert Banss)

I am broken hearted at the death of
Wayne B. Wheeler. How much we owe
him in the great Prohibition fight these
last few years who can ever tell! Here
is my estimate of him:
Wayne Wheeler was a gallant knight;
He fought with arms OF truth and love;
His shield of faith was strong with right;
His sword was bathed in light above.
Meier turned his back OH friend or foe;
He fought and loved each face to face;
In giving love or giving blow
He carried with it saving grace.
