THE CORDELE DISPATCH
MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS
~ ANNOUNCED
i NAMED FOR CCMING YEAR
; BY PRESIDENT AND
: DIRECTORS
At the meeting Friday night Pres
ident Fitzgibbons and the directors
of the Board of Trade secured their
working committees for the coming
year.
The President had the Secretary
go over the work of these commit
tees and emphasize the importance
of the work to be done during the
coming year.
The agricultural part of the pro
gram was emphasized with the idea
that great stress would be laid on
the importance of sticking close to
the Five Year Plan in respect to
cotton. On account of the large crop
this year, the disposition will be to
enlarge the acreage next year, but
the president and his advisors want
the farmers to hold down the acre
age as nearly to five acres to the
plow as possible. Large acreage will
be a risk and more cotton will be
produced on the Plan schedule. More
dairy cows, 3500 being the goal by
the end of the year, more pigs and
chickens and more permanent pas
tures will be the slogan in a cam
paign to be made later in the year.
New crops will be advocated a
mong the farmers, among them cul
tivated Dew and Blackberries and
Blueberries, a few acres of figs for
commercial sale, and some tobacco.
Along industrial lines cotton and
knitting mills, a commercial lime
plant, a crate factory, furniture
factories and facilities for makingi
and putting on the market the Exum
Dump bodies, along with enlarged‘
facilities for making and marketing
ithe Hartshorn spraying machine.
‘ Again it is suggested to the mer
chants that they make a personal
} tour of the trade territory and do
‘'more outside advertising in order
to bring Cordele a greater retail and
wholesale trade.
It was urged that the farmers of
the county join the co-operative
- marketing associations and that ad
ditional facilities be arranged for
the marketing of poultry and pigs,
i as well as truck. :
It was urged that a dairy breed
ing farm be started in the county to
supply the surrounding country with
, high class dairy cattle.
A strong Ways and Means com
mittee was appointed for the pur
pose of devising ways of financing
meritorious enterprises started in
the community. .
It was urged that the city contin
ue its efofrts to settle on the right
kind of power plant for the supply
of cheap current not only to the
city, but to thesurrounding country.
It was suggested that in “view of
the fact that the war had been over
now for several years, telephone and
other public utility rates might be
reduced topre war levels. The rate
committee was urged to look into
this.
~ -The Touriist committee was urged
sto cooperate with the City Manager
in his efforts to put over a better
tourist camp. Cordele ought to
"have the best oneon the National
Highway. ‘
~ Under spiritual defelopment, the |
county is urged to put on a wel
fare worker just as soon as finanecs
- will permit, for many worthy people
i have to suffer for lack of it. A hos
‘ pital is needed not only for Cordele,
but for alarge territory surrounding.
| The country schools were given
} much attention, One district is. just
about to vote for bonds for a better
school and it was hoped that every
' member of the Board would give
that district his influence and help.
Parks and Playgrounds had done
' good service the past year and that
idea should be continually extended.
It was urged that Cordele needed
' a larger hotel and that the Present
hotel be improved and made larger
to accommodate the tourists for the
coming season. .
The Cordele Band was commened
for its new effort and a pleasure
park was suggested where the band
with other high eclass amusement
could be carried on not only for the
entertainment of Crisp county peo
