Saved by Diversification.
Diversifcation has reached such q
point in this county that the failure of
no one or two crops can bring depres-
sion. Tobacco one of the countys chief
products, brought the lowest price in
history this year; watermelons were
almost a total loss and cotton is APP
parently to bring less than cost of
production, but prosperity still exists in
Colquitt County.
Last year 1921 900 900 worth of farm
products were sold in this county. Three
hundred applications for farms have
been received by one real estate firm
but there are no farms for sale. Most
Of the farmers own their own acres and
prosper on them.
Colquitt County farmers have meat
in the smoke house, money in the banks,
corn in the cribs, peanuts for the hogs
to eat, as well as peanuts to sell; hay
and oats and velvet beans In plenty,
chickens and eggs to ship, butter and
cream to sell, beef cattle for the pack

MOULTRIE, Ga, October 13-Geor-
gia has q county where banker says
the farmers would not know there had
been a depression this year II they
had not read about it in the news
papers.
The banker gives as reason bal
anced agricultural program and the
fact that the county seat provides q
cash market every day in the year for
every product of the farm.
This county is Colquitt, in South
Georgia; it has a population of 30,659
and an area of 500 square miles.
The county seat is Moultrie. The
county and county seat have issued
invitations for the rest of the State
to come to harvest festival on Octo-
Der % and see just how the thing was
done.
The banker is w. C. vereen, presi-
dent of the Moultrie Banking Co. and
q leader in the movement which has
resulted in the present condition. His
statement is backed up by the buSl-
ness men and farmers of Moultcie.
Moultrie people believe their success
has resulted from their cooperation
with the farmer. the business people
made it a point to see that the farm
er was able to sell his produce at a
fair price.
After the World War and the drop
in the price of cotton many of the
Colquitt farmers found themselves UNI
able to meet their obligations. Bankers
agreed to renew their notes, but made a
condition to which the farmers agreed.
Bankers Map Program.
The bankers said the farmers must
adopt a program which met with their
approval in order to obtain financial
assistance. A mass meeting at the
court house heard the details discussed
and accepted it unanimously.
Here was the program for farm

roaring flood waters of the Brady

torrential rains along its watershed.
Already high after flood which last

dollars damage, the river began rising
rapidly early today at the rate OF 18
inches every half hour.
The whole town was alarmed and
began preparations to protect lives and
property. Telephone operators notified
all available people that Mood was
coming.
Within short time, in early morn
ing hours, the business section was
thronged with frightened men, women
and children, all fearful that q repeti-
ton Of the previous near disaster was
at hand. Merchants hastily opened
their stores, removed merchandise from
first floors TO upper ones and barricaded

BOSTON, october 1S--Police broke
up a Communist parade and arrested
two members of that party on Boston
Common yesterday in a disturbance,
which started after the bluecoats re-
fused to permit Mrs. Sadie Amter of
New York to continue an attack on the
American Legion.
Mrs Amter. wife of Israel Amter,
district organizer of the Communist
party in New York, had called the lie
gion convention "The Boston Booze
Party" and termed the American Fed
Grafton of Labor the worst enemy of the
workers. Police asked for her permit.
When she said she had forgotten to
bring It with her they forced her to stop
speaking.
The Communists promptly organized
protest parade to the party headquarters
and the police in breaking it up ar
rested Mark Whittier, Il, and Miss Belle
Lewis, a. Whittier was charged with
sauntering and lettering and Miss Lewis
with speaking without a permit, because
she cast insistent taunts at the police.

A@45I<SkSt4 VitV' AcW SHSes IcW Ot8uQ4ru sScabin plane of the Alaska Airways to
 Fakotna yesterday to get the ick
 sick man, returning with him during the afternoon. Rundgren, who is an oldtimer of the Interior, has been en- gagged in trapping during the last five years, having established a camp about 200 miles up the river, from
 berry's Landing and remained in that isolated region continuously during that time. Early in the spring na- tive chanced across the Rundgren camp and found the oldtimer in a helpless condition and suffering greatly. Owing to the nearness of the breakup, the man; could not, be moved over the trail, so the. native waited three weeks for the river to- open. and then set out with the, old timer in a small boat for the Land ing. Upon arrival there. the, sick man was turned over to. Eur Farmer Berry, who continued the. journey down stream to McGrath. Rpndgren was placed in the Carlson, speedboat, at that point. and hurried pp> the Ia kotna river to: os:Tak0tna. arEiying therR the day before. Pilots ,Nieminen, made the flight from Anchorage.
 Pilot IN lemlnep s passed .i thrQngh, Rainy Pass, both going. and coming. and the flight. was a. successful one in every way
 1.-The, condition of Rundgren i, was such when. he reached the hospital that little could be done for him and death came at; an. early hour this morning. r It. is suspected that cancer of the stomach may have contributed to. his. passing, but this cannot be de- termined without g nautopsy, and this is not deemedi necessary since death was plainly due to, natural causes. The. cancer suspicion was aroused by statementt made by Rund- gren after he had reached the hos pital,, in attempting. to describe. his condition when he first became ill.
 "The deceased was 66 years oof age and is survived by sister, Mrs. E. A. and a brother, Arthur Rundgren, .reiding at Mount Vernon, ] Wash. They have been informed of their brothers death and the body is l being held at the Anchqage Funeral Parlors pending the. receipt of in- structions from them."
